Well first sign that a restaurant is not worth visiting is when the place is empty, service was not at its best and the place was as bland and tasteless as the food. My chicken was drier than a bowl of raisins, the potions not worth the price and the server had no personality. Overall, skip this place, don't leave your money here. read more

Loved the juicy tender pork chops and ribs filled with wonderful tasty meat. The mashed potatoes... Yum! Cole Slaw is the best we have had and we order it from every place we eat. Theirs is the best ever! Had to go back for our peanuts but that just gave us another chance to say "thank you" for a great experience and $10 off coupon. We can tell you "care" about our experience and that makes us feel really happy. Thanks again! read more

Great service, mediocre food during a slow time of day. Locally owned restaurants are able to close between lunch and dinner, to optimize on staff allocation and food preparation (i.e. it tastes better when fresh). National chains can not, so very convenient if needing to eat dinner during offhours, but have to recognize that service won't be so good. We had an early movie at the nearby Regal Cinemas on a Tuesday early evening, so decided to stop by here for the first time around 3:45pm, hoping that it would be similar to Texas Roadhouse or a Longhorns (both of which we like very much). Figured the service might lack a bit, but by staying with classics (meat dishes), we could get a good meal. The restaurant was empty when we walked in (including the hostess stand). Once we got someone's attention, we were prompty seated. The music being played loudly is eclectic: everything from 70's country rock (CCR) to 80's rockabilly (Stray Cats). There was another couple already seated, but the place is very large so didn't realize this until we got closer. The hostess was also our server, and she was accountable for all front-of-house tasks until the dinner hour. So we steeled ourselves for a rough service experience...but it ended up being one of the better service encounters we've had. In terms of food, I would rate it closer to Denny's more than its competitors like Outback or Longhorn. We got the Top Sirloin 9oz ($22.99), medium. It was expertly cooked to medium over an open flame, but the steak itself was very chewey, gristly throughout. It tasted OK once I doused it with A1, but the meat itself wasn't very good...definitely two levels below what you can get at Outback/Longhorn. In fact, the AYCE steak at Golden Corral is far superior. It came with two sides: Mac and Cheeze (forgettable) and steamed broccoli (plenty given of the from-frozen variety). We also got the Pulled Pork sandwich ($14.99), and it was OK: plenty of tender meat on a soft, pillowy bun and the right amount of BBQ sauce. We asked for the cole slaw topping on the side: it was crisp but not particularly tangy. The fries that came with it was good in the beginning, but became strangely soggy. Still ate it all up by using a lot of ketchup. So the quantity and value were great, the quality was not....just reminded me that everything had been prepared from frozen and that we were eating at a slow time for the restaurant. Elia was great througout. The water glasses were gigantic, but she still kept them full throughout. We got complementary hot rolls with butter. By the time we left, there were 4 other tables seated and we noticed that she kept all of them in sync throughout, each with a smile and genuine helpful attitude. They have tableside tablets where you can pay, so it's quick. We wanted to bring the bread home (waste-not) so asked for a box..instead, she brought back 4 freshly baked rolls without us asking. Really left us in a good mood as we walked out (in spite of the food). read more

So the place is ok. Service is mediocre, food is mediocre. The steak is way overprice! It's like $36.98 The price should be $22 or less cause it didn't taste like a ribeye more of a cheaper steak. I added garlic butter to the steak and it tasted bland it had no salt in it just butter and Parsley. The fries were alright but I had better. Service is alright got ignored a few times for trying to get a refill on water. Food time to the table was reasonable for 5 people at the table. The sink is very very low. As a 5, 9 person, I have to really lean down to wash my hands. Probably for the kid's height but still very low in my opinion. Overall I wouldn't come back and I don't recommend coming here for steak read more

This place was just awful. I really should've just eaten at home. Cheese fries were definitely microwaved...chewy bits of meat in my burger...and service wasn't any better. There were plenty of servers, just not actually tending to tables. Just stay home. Or get fast food instead. read more

Don't confuse this with Patrick Swayze movie, "Roadhouse". I assure you, Sam Elliott won't show you his hair down there. I think...... https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hNoKTr_t5oDXXsR1ppyldA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA $10 credit for signing up for their email club Having never dined here, I've heard about the free peanuts at the Original Roadhouse Grill, where patrons would snack on them, throwing the shells nonchalantly on the floor. Well, things have changed for the better (aka more hygienic). I had to request the peanuts from the attendant, and she quickly brought me a bag w/ a steel pail waste bin. "No throwing shells on the floor". https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=d4V3J_67pNvrOtm6u5u21A&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Dinner rolls- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=E-iKlqKWP5TcOKDbyoeGXg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA The pair of complimentary dinner rolls were fresh out of the oven. Flaky, soft, buttery - these were a fine starter ahead of the main. Original House burger (lettuce-wrapped)- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HMtkqz1RQu5f4zYNNMrlNg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Double patties, cooked medium-rare, onions, tomatoes, pickles, choice of side (coleslaw) & paired w/ thousand island. The Original House burger was juicy. I would've preferred the lettuce stems over the leafy portions, as I found them to be fibrous, but everything else was great. The coleslaw was bright & crispy. I don't like coleslaw overly sauced (ahem, KFC), thus, I greatly appreciated Original Roadhouse's take on it. Service was good. The young woman attending to me was friendly & hospitable. My meal didn't take long to prepare. Ample seating via tables & booths. Original Roadhouse Grill is located at the Long Beach Towne Centre. In front of the movie theater, next to Lucille's Smokehouse. Not too shabby, Original Roadhouse Grill. Not too shabby, at all. The $10 promo credit was a great enticement for me to finally come in. I thoroughly enjoyed my Original House burger. Plus, the complimentary peanuts & dinner rolls sufficed to fill this hungry eater up. I'm looking forward to coming back & having a go with more of menu. Good job! read more

Stopped in for a bite to eat at the original Roadhouse. I sat at the bar thinking the service would be better there after 3:00 pm. Well it was just ok. The bartender V seemed so busy. I ordered my food and a salad. Why ask it I want everything on my salad when they put it on there anywhere I asked for no onions and guess what. Seemed like I got extra onions. Ok. Then my whiskey river salmon came out. It was cooked good but barely any glaze. I asked for some more and the manager wanted to charge me $2.99 more for a very small amount. Really!!!???!!! Charging for some extra glaze??? WTF???!!!??? Come on. Seems so petty. Provide enough with the dish then. The bar top was not that clean and getting there early you only have a limited staff. The bartender forgot about me as I needed another drink and had to finish my lunch with nothing to drink. That's right not even a water. Well I will find another place to stop at for late lunch around here. Not a very pleasant experience at all. Try a better customer service first off. What do you charge for catch up too Come on 1 star is too much. read more

I've Never had a Bad Meal here!! I love their 1/2 ribs w a sweet potato! Steaks are tender and always cooked my favorite medium rare! Service good too! Try the place out-- you won't be disappointed! read more

I felt as the glass of beer was dirty. And the food was not good. From time to time I try this place again and it is still bad. I used to go over 25 years ago when it was good. Now there just bugs flying around you. read more

I always loved going to the roadhouse for happy hour even though I ordered dinner. But for some reason, the food has gotten increasingly bad. I one time ordered the tri-tip and I probably could've thrown it through a window. That's how hard it was like a rock. I'm not one to return meals or two complain so I just decided to try it again another day. The next time I went, I ordered a ribeye medium, and it was so hard to cut through. For some reason, the smell inside the restaurant reminded me of a janitor's room. I really did love the roadhouse Grill until the third time. I haven't been back since. read more

Service was great! Food was gross. Watery fish, overcooked fatty steak, no mesquite flavor, canned chili, overcooked baked potato, soggy fries, jarred garlic on everything. Wildly overpriced. Ambience is cool. Won't be back. read more

Great sesame garlic steak, baked potato, broccoli & pulled pork sandwich with fries! Wonderful service!

Ordered the Saint Luis Ribs, says slow cooked and BBQ finished. Ribs never touched a bbq, tasted and appeared pressure cooked, overcooked, no seasoning at all to flavor, watered down bbq sauce and not enough to even cover the meat. Didn't even serve with any bbq sauce, had to ask for it. The loaded potato was precooked and like a cold brick and the loading was barely any sour cream, cheese and bacon. The broccoli was barely warm and flavorless. The disappointment was huge and I know why the restaurant only had 3 tables filled. The waitress was sweet but I know why she didn't ask how the meal was, I wouldn't serve it to anyone. Not worth the $24 for 1/2 rack. Stay home and cook for yourself, it will be way better than this. Should be 0 stars. read more

My wife and I went there a couple of weeks ago and although there were a lot of empty tables, we had to wait. Another person who was waiting got up and left. And then we left and although the hostess saw us leaving she just watched us leave. I think they were short on servers. read more

If you want your everyday BBQ and aren't looking for anything special this isn't a bad place to go. I do think the quality has gone down hill since COVID. If you do stop by I highly recommend the Texas jalapeño egg rolls! The regular house salad is actually better than most places. read more

The service was not good and took a long time for everything. We waited 45 minutes just to order our food. And then the food wasn't even that good. A couple sat behind us and left because nobody had even taken their order after almost an hour. It's overpriced and not good. Would not recommend just go to Lucille's. read more

Honestly, overall just ok. Service was pretty slow despite the fact we came at a non-crowded time (around 3pm), they didn't have the iced tea I wanted, and we never got any of the rolls people left such good reviews about :( Husband got the grilled chicken sandwich and I got the tri tip salad. Food was kind of mediocre to be honest. I will say the blackberry lemonade was delicious though! When it was time to pay the waitress just dropped the credit card machine off without instruction. Kind of weird, haha. Will probably not be returning, as there's a Lucille's next door that is way better. read more

Chris Knight 7/8/24 @ approximately 5:15PM. We waited up front for over 5 minutes for someone to come out from the back to greet us. We were seated about 2 minutes later. Then we spent almost 15 minutes waiting at our table for a server to come take our order. The server did however pass by 2 different times saying that she would be over in a minute to take our order, but after around 15 minutes of waiting at our table, we decided to walk next door to Lucille's BBQ. Before leaving I made sure to inform the bartender since no other staff or management was around that we will not ever be going back to Original Roadhouse Grill. Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5 read more

The food here is good (especially the burgers) but the service was subpar. It took us two hour to eat lunch and it was not busy in the restaurant. I can normally appreciate and understand when a server is in the weeds and the importance of empathy. I know that serving isn't always easy. But what really upset our party was that she charged us 18% gratitude, just handed us the little machine to make our payment without giving us the receipt to review prior to payment, and proceeded to accept an additional 20% tip on top of 18% gratuity without informing us. When I brought it up to her, she told me "well it's written on our menu." I feel that they have a duty to inform the customer that a gratuity is being charged if they see an additional 20% tip added. Especially when you aren't giving me the bill until after I already paid. I was extremely offended. I don't think we will be back after this. read more

Came in on a Sunday during the NFL playoffs expected it to be slow but there were about 4 families when I got there. I ordered the burger and it was very good. The burger was juicy and the lettuce and onion crisp. The servers were very nice and helpful. It was a great experience and I will be coming back to try their prime rib. read more

#1. Music was very loud! Hard to talk to each other. #2. Service was very slow! Had to ask a few times for bread and peanuts. #3. Food was very bad!!! Steak was dry and mostly fat. Pork chops were dry!! Mac and cheese tasted like from Stoffers Drinks were all ice and had not much flavor of alcahol at all. Very watered down. We had guests from PA. We were so embarrassed taking tgem here. We will never come here again. Do yourself a favor. Don't come here. read more

Our server rose was THE BEST! If you ever eat here for dinner, ask for her, she's so friendly and attentive, refilled our drinks in a timely matter, her recommendations were spot on, and made our expierence a great one. We will be back! read more

place has gone way down hill. Mashed potatoes were sour, steak cooked wrong.Peanuts were the best thing to eat. Place is understaffed. One waitress running the whole floor. read more

Seriously this place is worse than applebees and I didn't think you could get that low. Tables are filthy, floor corners where they meet the walls are caked with old food and dirt, service was bad. Food was dry and seemed like left overs. Mac and cheese was dry and left over feeling. Server got annoyed when we asked to re clean the table. Never coming back read more

My meal was decent. Server brought my root beer fast, but after ordering food; I waited about thirty minutes. I got St. Louis Ribs, medium rare Sirloin Steak with BBQ Beans, and Loaded Mashed Potatoes. The cheese was gooey and bacon was crisp. Bbq sauce had a sweet and tangy side on the beans and ribs. My steak was seasoned well. Too bad it was chewy. Probably got a bad piece of steak. My server was nice enough to take off the drink I order off the bill as I mentioned my chewy steak. Seems like they were understaffed because my server was running her section and the bar at the same time around 1PM. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Over priced for the quality and quantity. Service was horrendous. The bar tender was our server and he was busy serving drinks. The ambiance is old and run down. They used to have a smaller serving menu for less cost. But I guess they decided to take their smaller serving and just jack up the price and put it on a new menu. $4 for watered down ice tea. Not going back. I recommend you not go. read more

My husband and I went for lunch and we were really disappointed. We were craving steak but the price was shocking. A couple left because their table was filthy. I did enjoy my cherry lemonade, but my club sandwich was lacking freshness and the cheese slice was old and dried out. My husband's double cheeseburger was okay and the fries were good. The waitress was attentive. I will spend my $50 somewhere else. read more

Haven't been here at the Original Roadhouse in a long time due to me becoming disappointed that the food just went downhill. It was a different dinner here tonight though because the menu and the food has taken a turn for the better thank goodness because everything on my plate was cooked and tasted perfect. My boneless chicken breast was hot and thoroughly grilled and my steak was also cooked perfectly at a medium well. The broccoli was mid way soft with a great possibly buttery flavor. My wife's pork chops were also cooked perfectly so yes we had a great dinner tonight. We so happy that the food is good again that we are planning on coming back and making the Original Outback one of our regular restaurants again. Service was attentive and fast. I would like to make a request that the restaurant serve sourdough and wheat rolls instead of the soft white bread. read more

Steak is what's for dinner when you come here. Peanut given out for free. Could split up the flavors on a order of wings which was cool to try honey bbq sauce and spicy Buffalo. Ambiance was typical for a roadhouse grill or a Texas roadhouse type joint. read more

The waiter with the heavy accent , bald head , and lazy eye is probably one of the worst servers I've ever had. The food is already trash here but to offer it with trash service is crazy. He only offered four types of drinks despite the drink menu, we'd be mid order and he started walking away from us . The restaurant was slow there . Maybe four other tables filled and he was acting like it was the busiest day in the world. Tried to speak to management and her excuse was "I just got here" . Dave and busters will have this place shut down soon just like fridays read more

We stopped in at Original Roadhouse Grill for a bite to eat and a drink this evening. Although this was my second time eating at ORG, this was my first time at this location and my experience was much better than the first. I had the chicken breast spinach and avocado sandwich, which is one of their best sellers and I can see why. It was delicious! I also had a side of sweet potato fries and blood orange margarita. The fries were good, two thumbs up on the margarita. My daughter ordered the sirloin steak and fries. She enjoyed both, but wished the steak had been a little bit larger. Our waitress was great, the atmosphere relaxed and fun. I really enjoyed the decor. Parking was a little congested due to the other surrounding restaurants and businesses. read more

Walked in and walked right out. Did not know the bar area was not self seating. The lady at the bar was rude. Said it was closed then she said we had to go to the front to be able to sit in that area. I did as she said I was told I could sit at the bar top, but she said the lady at the bar was too busy to serve us. Mind you it's 7:30pm on a Saturday night and more than half the section is empty. Honestly that location needs people with social skills. read more

019.07-12/1300: Holy moly, did we have the best time ever! We arrived and already, we can see a large party was going on. They had tons of gifts everywhere and the place was hopping. We saw this and decided to stay because there was no server and a wonderful server, who saw us in the midst of the choas, acknowledged us and told us she would be with us shortly to seat us. She was running all over the place and still had a huge smile on her face and was super nice to everyone! We ended up lucking out and received her as our server! Her name is Tiara B. If you ever see this woman, request her because you will receive primo service. They were extremely busy and yet she was able to take on the whole bar area (right side of restaurant) because the large party took four servers to man. I've been in the hospitality industry for over twenty years and Tiara had it going on! She was impressive. She didn't write anything down. That's how you know she's a well-seasoned server! She suggestively sold us on drinks and appetizers after she greeted us. She even had to make my drink, a Margarita Moscow Mule and it was delicious, too. We ended up having the delicious Bourbon Wings for starters. Then she brought out their DELICIOUS house rolls and honey butter. FANTASTIC! We had special requests for our entrees and she nailed it. Not one issue, just perfect. Our Prime Rib and bacon wrapped Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection. We couldn't finish our meals and had to take doggie bags! During the midst of the lunch rush, one of Tiara's regulars arrived and requested her. She greeted him with a smile and said,"You remember me?" She replied, "Of course, it's been a few years!" He said, " Oh my goodness, you have an amazing memory!". This is how I knew we were lucky to have gotten her All in all, we will be back for our date nights when we're in the area and want to get away from North Hollywood! Please commend Tiara B. for the excellent job and there should be servers like her everywhere! Thank you, Tiara and we hope you'll be there again when we visit! read more

Fiona was amazing was very efficient and great service!! The sesame garlic filet is also the best thing on the menu !

Patrick, the manager, Rose, our server, and Eddie the host, were very pleasant and our time was very enjoyable. Rose regularly checked on us to see if everything was up to par and made sure our drinks were filled throughout dinner. Patrick was very warm and let us know more about his experiences in the restaurant business. The All-American burger, Chili burger and half chicken were top notch. We also ordered pomegranate and blackberry lemonades. Rose and Patrick was so nice to even give my wife a complimentary ice cream for her "38th" birthday. We will definitely be visiting this Oringinal Roadhouse Grill in the near future. Next time I'm going to try the mushroom and jalapeño burgers. The roasted peanuts and dinner rolls before the meal made our experience extra special. Thanks guys! read more

Waited way too long too be seated some food was cold like really cold.my onion rings I believe might have been either recooked or just overcooked. Service was terrible! Hardly anyone in restaurant. I guess that means something when its a couple days before Christmas and ya can't get into another restaurant. When you get a hamburger, it's pretty customary along with your fries that you're gonna want some sort of condiments. So after we found him, he grabbed them for us and when he was cleaning another table, he took their condiments and put them on our table as well because you know we all need our own bottle of catch-up! I found him to be incredibly lazy and rude when we were ordering he kept correcting us and wanting us to upgrade and get something bigger. I wanted french fries even though I was getting onion rings with my burger and he made it seem like that was a weird thing to do. After handing us the thingy to pay he stood over us watching the amount we we're paying. I would have given him 0 for tip considering he was absent for the majority of our meal. But my son felt weird cuz he was hovering. Seriously if all the restaurants in California, when I'm visiting, that definitely will not make my list. And I won't be surprised when I come back if they're no longer open. Seriously eating out now is such a treat because everything has gotten to be so expensive. Don't waste your money. Take yourself to a nice place. Waiting in line. It's worth it! read more
