    Meat loaf dinner and of course I always add hot sauce
    Don L.

    They are a great family owned restaurant and always friendly. Food is always hot and fresh.

    Double cheese burger and chili
    Daniel Z.

    Throw back cafe/diner that delivered a GREAT double cheeseburger. Loved the special sauce mixed with DICED lettuce, great cheese and fresh tomato & pickle. The bun just became part of the burger. Ordered a bowl of chili on the side and it was exactly what you would expect-hearty with some spice and good ground beef. Definitely stop in if you haven't.

    Outstanding hashbrowns, sausage and cakes. Pass on the gravy!
    Richard P.

    Definitely a learning curve experience on my first visit here. I now know TO ORDER the two eggs with sausage and hashbrowns. I also know NOT TO ORDER the pancakes as the included side as they were DELICIOUS but only a tease with the tiny size. Instead I would opt next time for the biscuit. Also under NOT TO is the biscuits and gravy. So, why a side biscuit but NOT the B&G? Simple, bland powdered gravy mix. The biscuit drowning under it was quite nice looking. Sausage had great flavor and two generous patties. Coffee above average.

    Breakfast Bowl!

    You will need to order at the counter when you walk in, but they will bring your food to you when it's ready. It definitely has an old school feel to it - nothing fancy, but the service is friendly and the food is good. I had the breakfast bowl with bacon and thought it had great flavor, was fresh and not greasy tasting. The potatoes had a perfect crunch to them. Hubby said the pancakes and hash browns were excellent! It was a wonderful stop for breakfast on our way out of town.

    This is just a great middle-American diner that Californians will never understand. It's great because it has all the little touches that only comes from cooking comfort food thousands of times until it's perfected. The sausage has a little sear on it without being dried out. The gravy has crumbled - not lumpy - sausage, and pepper you can see. The biscuit was brushed with melted butter before it was baked, to make it a little salty and stiff - not crunchy. And the chef's secret gravy ingredient is paprika :) This place checks all the boxes with a sweet waitress, an old guy behind the grill, and a newspaper waiting for you. I got a sausage and cheese omelette, hash browns, biscuits and gravy. The gravy is OUTSTANDING. Don't miss it. Hang your coat and take a comfortable seat.

    Inside. Duh.

    Ate here for the first time this morning for breakfast. The breakfast menu was small, but had all the essentials. Our biscuits and gravy, pancakes, eggs, and bacon were all really good. The sausage I had was not. I think it's just the brand they use because I recognized it from having it somewhere else in the past, didn't like it then either. It was fairly busy. A lot of people were getting food to go, but several groups were there to eat. It's a smaller place, but not congested at all. Staff was extremely nice and made it feel even more of a cozy place to eat. Definitely recommend going here and I definitely will be coming back to try lunch/dinner sometime! They also had like 10 kinds of ice cream, which I'll need to try at some point in my life too...

    Great local burger joint/diner. Nothing fancy, and you wouldn't want it any other way. Busy during lunch. They have pie! Good stuff.

    We are visiting from out of state, and Blind Tiger was highly recommended to us by the gift shop…read moreattendant at the History Museum. The building is a cool old building with a vintage vibe. Service was a bit slow, and we were disappointed to find they were out of barbecue for the day. However, the food overall was good (albeit pricey), and the beer was excellent. I had the fish and chips with a side of creamed spinach and it was flavorful. Others at my table enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo, wings, and burgers. I appreciate that the server provided a free dessert after spilling a water on one of our diners. Overall, I would return, though I have some qualms after reading some other reviews, particularly relating to hygiene.

The chicken however was like rubber. I ate half a small piece and put the rest to the side. My husband had the Pulled Pork platter which is normally good. The meat was really dry. I ate all the pasta and told our server about the chicken being like rubber and she stated that she's mentioned that exact thing to the cooks but that maybe if a customer complains they would possibly listen. What made me a little annoyed though was that I ate none of the chicken yet they didn't at least bump off a few bucks off my meal. The service was fine but I feel like over the years this has become my last choice versus my first choice.

Saw the line and thought "we'll never get any food for at least 2 hours!" But we were told a table for 2 should be available in about 20 minutes. It was available in 10 minutes!! Food was excellent, Herb Crusted Chicken and my husband had half a rack of ribs. Our server was Maryah, and she was spectacular! The coffee she brought was hot and fresh. She took our order and got another shaker of salt and the lemon for my ice tea very fast. Kind, courteous and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better server! The salads, and then the entrees were served fast and perfectly. Maryah kept on top of things, and had more coffee, more rolls to us and we didn't have to sit and watch for her to flag her down. Excellent, excellent service! Maryah is a keeper! Thank you! Fast, efficient, and great food. Yup, not the place to have a long conversation with friends because of the noise, but that's okay! Mary

Roadhouse has some of the best baked potatoes with the salt on the outer skin prior to serving and we can't forget their rolls n butter. Sat at the bar and was served by Alex and Mary.

As normal when you go to Roadhouse it is hopping and loud and tonight was no different from the dancing servers to just the high energy in the wait staff. See y'all next year!!!!
