Checked out this countryish Yorkville bar and grill. It has surprisingly great drinks and food, and not just greasy junk. Roadhouse 47 has plenty of that, as well. Good if bringing people with varying food preferences. The prices are okay on most things. Big area around the bar, with plenty of seating inside. It's pretty clean, and not scuzzy like a country bar typically would be like. The menu has lots of meats, but that's not everything thankfully. Has many things to drink. It's about $9 for a mule. There's a choice of whiskey. It's about $11 for appetizers. We got the Fried Cauliflower, which is probably the healthiest thing. Comes with a choice of chili sauce or ranch, so you can make it not as healthy. The burgers are popular with the make your own topping choices, and so is the macaroni and cheese topped with meaty proteins. Easy to find, because the name of street is in the name of the restaurant of course. It's got a happy hour. There's a few bucks off some cocktails, as well as a few appetizers so that's cool stuff. read more

Service was terrible. It seemed like the waitress had never been a server before. They were out of 4 beers my husband had asked for. After bringing the appetizer, he brought the plates 5 minutes later. The food took forever to come out and fries were dumped in salt. My wife ordered a well done steak that came out med rare. Just everything about the experience was terrible. We will never go back again. read more

Well, 3 yrs ago I left a barn burner of a review. Since then...The entire establishment has been changed to the good! This place is awesome! The bartenders care and are polite, the food is PERFECT!!! The manager (Sam) is so aware of everything and is taking care of all of us. We have patrons again! What more could you ask for???!!!! It has been deep cleaned and updated, too. read more

Very laid-back nice establishment great service great food every time I come love the Santa Fe wraps

Our server Gigi was adorable. Very perso able and cute with the little girl at the table next to us. We ordered burgers medium-rare and they were cooked nicely. $1 for a side of sauce is to much I will say. One complaint....Floors are sticky. Yeah, yeah, I know it's a bar, but I hate sticky floors. read more

My wife and I would love to come here. We always have a good time. One thing I don't like, but I'm not going to take a star away, is that the bartenders kept skipping my songs when I played something on Touch Tunes. When I asked about it, they blamed a customer for "having the remote," and they continued skipping it. read more

My husband couldn't stop raving about this place after his first time trying so I had to try it. So glad we did, it was good! The wings are amazing. My husband got the steak sandwich and he said he would get it every time. I got the moonshine burger and so good, their fires are to die for as well. My son got the steak bites for his meal and wow, so good. Definitely be a new spot to come to more often read more

What has happened to this place? Slow service, management that says " well I just brought it out" when your food is cold when brought out. Bartender walks by you and doesn't even look your direction when your glass is empty. I've come in here for years and with new management this will be our last visit. What a shame read more

Ive be coming here off and on for years because the service, food and drinks have always been consistent and delightful. Tonight it took the cake! My husband and a wonderful dinner! I (for once) remembered my take out container but forgot my purse. I was about 5 minutes away when I realized my mistake and when I came back into roadhouse, the wonderful servers had already secured my bag behind the waitress station. Thank you so much for your caretaking and wonderful service! You have a life long customer! Thank you!! read more

Our onion rings were dripping of oil and the fries tasted funny like fish. Steak sandwich was full of fat and the pop was flat.. Why is it so hard to find a good restaurant in yorkville . read more

Good basic bar food. Service was fine. Kitchen was slow. Pretzels with cheese dip are great

Friendly staff. They have some cool Bloody Mary's to choose from. The wings are really good and different flavors to choose from. Not your common flavors that you see everywhere. Good beer selection. read more

I ordered the moonshine burger. It comes with fries. Let's start with the burger. It was built very nice. The moonshine sauce was on the sweeter side. It complimented the burger well. Now the meat itself was bland, but all together it was good. When the sauce wasn't on part of the burger it was very plain. The fries had a coating on them. Definitely not for me. Overall if the fries were fresh cut or even maybe a waffle fry would of gotten a 4th star. Customer service was quick and on point. So great job there. read more

We have been here numerous other times & the food was always great; however, today we waited forever & then food was overdone! The bartender never once asked how the food was, even after pushing my food to the side. When the bill arrived she again, did not inquire about wanting a to-go box for a full meal. As I stepped away for the restroom, a couple in the back of the restaurant were waving for a server & when I mentioned they needed a server I heard "oh shit, I forgot about them". Perhaps it's short staffing, but please let customers know up front on a weekday lunch - everyone does not have 90-120 minutes to wait. My fiancé tipped as usual, but as a former server & bartender I would've said something- tips are still to be earned! read more

8/2019 Same slow service. Reopened under new ownership and we are here at the lunch hour with only 3 tables of people. We ordered nachos and a rare steak sandwich. Waitress just came by saying it will be up soon. I said it has been 20 minutes. She said it's the steak that takes long. I said it's A rare cooked steak how long can that take? Ridiculous. Got the nachos. Cold cheese sauce. Luke bbq pork. I'm not eating it. Told the waitress. Steak sandwich came. Cooked medium well. I just don't get it. She comped us which is nice, but we weren't looking to get comped. We came in to eat at a close by neighborhood restaurant. Clearly they just want to be a bar with food that is filler over the cold beverages. Not for us again, but we tried. See ya! Still waiting on food. 30 minutes- waitress is clueless. We waved her over. She's said sorry it's not out yet. We said we see good sitting up there. She just came back to the table with our food. Just frustrating! read more

A group of 8 of us came in for some drinks and appetizers, we only could get slight service if we went to the bar. The bartender still wouldn't wait on us, the waitress wouldn't wait on us. We asked the bar for some beers, the bartender said I can't get those. This place used to be great but the service is an absolute joke. read more

Awesome steak sandwich! Burgers and Rueben good, too. Best carry out in Yorkville. Arrive 5 minutes early and food likely ready. read more

We called to order a couple takeout sandwiches from The Roadhouse. The order taker on the phone was very pleasant sounding and able to answer our questions, and told us when our order would be ready for pickup. Our takeout was ready at the specified time but the total we were charged for both sandwiches seemed too high, so we questioned the amount which they had already collected when we called in the order. We were told that the online prices displayed on their website were "sometimes wrong" and needed to be corrected because the actual prices were higher than indicated. We expressed our disappointment in them not keeping their own website up to date and explained that we felt like we had been / were being overcharged since the amount displayed was so much less than what we ended up paying. The cashier said she fully understood. She said she agreed with us, but there was nothing she could do to correct the amount WE WERE OVERCHARGED since the charge had already been processed at the time our order was taken. No apology was expressed. No credit for future orders was offered. Nothing of the sort. We took our food and left. The food was well packed but tasted mediocre at best. Both sandwiches could have been much tastier if they had been prepared as described on their menu. The Patty Melt meat was hefty and tasty, but the marbled rye bread was not grilled or even toasted, as a patty melt should be prepared. The slight amount of cheese topping was melted on the meat, but the grilled/ caramelized onions were missing. The ungrilled bread and missing onions took away from the overall flavor of the sandwich which tasted nothing like a Patty Melt. The Reuben meat was lean and plentiful but this sandwich was not grilled either. The flavorful sandwich dressing you expect with Reubens was not packed with the sandwich and was not discovered in the bag until the dry sandwich was already mostly eaten and thought to be too dry. The fries were plentiful and not too greasy. Overall, our takeout experience at The Roadhouse left us feeling high and dry and with a bad taste in our mouths. We won't be going back for more. read more

The outdoor seating was very nice and well spaced. The food was actually better than we expected. Everyone left with a positive experience. The only negative was the waitress was forgetful and openly said "I suck at my job" to us. read more

The waitress told me To take a seat at a table and never came to take my order or give me a menu. After 45 mins of waiting I had to come up and ask a waitress for the menu. The food there is not even good and over priced. No one there is wearing a mask and at the bar. I won't be surprised if a corna virus outbreak happens cause everyone at the bar was sitting close to each other with no mask. read more

We love roadhouse! Hailey is so friendly and we always look forward to seeing her. The food is awesome and the outdoor is nice when the weather is good. read more

The staff is Fire blazing Amazing!!! They greated me right away when walking in and it felt like I was at home... not the family I have, but the family I WANT!!!. Only sad fact is how far I live away from this establishment. Alli and GiGi are so bright and cheerful, love their service. read more

My husband and I just left there. Sat for over 20 minutes without anyone as much as acknowledging our existence. The girls working the section we were in (booth) helped everyone in the section but didn't even glance at us. This is unfortunate because we usually like this place but will definitely be a while before we're back if at all. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE. Absolutely HORRIBLE. We come here about three times per week and have always had a great experience. Let me begin by saying it is a Thursday night and the staff working are not who we usually see. However, tonight we sat for over 20 minutes and had to flag someone down this evening and it wasn't even busy!! Why are we having to get your staff's attention in the first place after that long?? Eventually someone dropped off menus, never came back, yet the servers stood in the far right corner of the hot food window socializing??? I'm not going to sit there with my kids after working all day waiting for someone to bring us something to drink, let alone take a food order. We go out to eat wayyy too often to deal with waiting for 20 minutes for a frikin drink order. read more

We ordered The Southern Grilled Shrimp with a side of Bang Bang sauce. So good!! It smelled like garlic shrimp walking in so my husband and I could not resist!! We also got a beer. We only came for an appetizer and beer and were not disappointed. read more

I do like this bar generally. Nice outdoor in summer and like the country music, HOWEVER this is also a sports bar and they do not carry Cubs games. Might as well just turn the TVs off aside from football season. read more

I had the opportunity to check out this place during the St. Patrick's day celebration a week or so ago. It was a great crowd and the staff was very pleasant and attentive. The highlight of the night was definitely DJ KSmoove on the 1's & 2's. DJ KSmoove did an amazing job of reading the crowd and playing hit after hit. I love that he openly let us know that he took request and was very personable while engaging with the crowd. It's been a while since I've heard some good mixing like DJ KSmoove and look forward to seeing him back again because we didn't want to leave. If they get this DJ back I will be there buying out the bar again. read more

AWESOME STAFF AND GREAT FOOD! Super clean and I loved how welcoming the atmosphere was (and I just went inside for a pickup order!) The fried catfish was amazing and the portions are generous and on track for the price. Cannot wait to return! Next time, we're dining in! read more

Great place good food awesome atmosphere dj ksmoove Halloween weekend was AWESOME bring him back ASAP

Food and drinks were good! Taking some measures to ensure safety: hand sanitizer and no menus- you have to google their website to see their menu... Today was the first day that the public could dine inside. There were several groups outside under the tent and umbrellas. It started storming and they all came in. No social distancing, no masks... one dude bellied up to the bar INCHES from me... check please! All the staff had their noses sticking out of their masks and many actually pulled their masks down under their mouths... what's the point of wearing a mask of you aren't covering anything???! If you are in any way vulnerable to the coronavirus I recommend you stir clear of the Roadhouse until they get their shit together! read more

This is a pleasant surprise at the RT 71 and 47 intersection! We've been here twice now. Everything I've tried has been good! The Mac and cheese with pulled pork was good, not great, but definitely worth a try. The noodles fall a little short as they are a little mushy, and the sauce isn't very cheesy. Still, good. My son has had the salmon twice, and both times it was comes perfectly and rather good. The chicken fried chicken was also good. The gravy and mashed potatoes with skins are fabulous. Be sure to ask for extra gravy. We also enjoyed the poutine, which was a special. They use the pepper jack Mac and cheese bites in the dish, and it's a great touch. Only a few things keep this place from being a regular go-to for us. First, the music is too loud in the dining area. I get louder music in the bar, but a family eating dinner at 6 pm doesn't want to shout over loud country music. The only other thing I noticed on both visits is that they are slow to bus tables. When you walk into a place that's nearly empty, but several booths are empty, it limits the seating options. read more

Disappointing service. My wife & I have ordered from this establishment rather regularly. From the beginning of covid up until now, there's been a total of 4 times now in which we've had problem with not only our orders but their management has overcharged our cards twice of the two most recent times we've dined in. The waitresses are extremely incoherent & don't understand a lick of general skill when it comes to multitasking. Assuming their new employees are rather unfit for general tasks. It's a shame to even write such a review considering my wife & I would normally order from Roadhouse rather frequently. All of the 2 times we've been overcharged on cards ( one being my wife on a separate occasion ) their manager never did get back with either of us when we called in to make the complaint. In such a time where money is tight for some people this is down right NOT okay. If anyone has a similar experience please feel free to share. I'd give this place maybe two more years at the least. read more

I tried out this place a few times. Every time I do, it's hit or miss and so so. When it's a miss it's because they don't listen properly to what you order, however the times I have tried this place, they have messed up my order more times then not, and I'm tired of going back to have it fixed! So they lost a customer. When I say " I want my burger well done" it means no pink!!! It says on the receipt well done yet the burger isn't!!!! I also ordered a chicken dumpling soup. The soup itself wasn't bad but I'm polish when they say " dumplings " I expect " dumplings " that's not what I got. The " dumplings " was broken up bread in the soup. It was a disappointment. I also ordered the cream of broccoli soup, it was oil looking and brown it wasn't thick and it had no taste. Very disappointed, at least I can say I tried giving them a few chances. read more

Bar service type joint with mediocre drinks and great daily specials. Check out they're Facebook page for daily specials such as $5 wrap and fries on Wednesdays. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to roadhouse unless it's a Wednesday that is! I unfortunately had a couple less than stellar drink experiences here, though now I know to stick to draft or pre bottled beverages. read more

I love this bar (& grill)! I've been going there for years (thru all the name changes & new owners). It's finally become a bar that is meant for the Yorkville crowd (definitely a spot for locals but all are welcome-if you go in a stranger, you'll leave as a friend). Great atmosphere & friendly conversations all around the bar & it's patrons. The bartenders (esp Brea, Blake, Jess & Chiston) make all the difference in the world-esp vs other bars options in the area. I highly recommend stopping in to try one of their specials-drinks or food. (It's also kid-friendly before 9pm.) read more

The food was great, and so was the service! Shout out to Toni, she was an excellent server!

Amazing!! The food was amazing. Taste is everything and this place nailed that. Buffalo Mac and cheese was delicious. I hate Mac and cheese bites never had one I liked until here. Catfish was cooked to perfection. I never leave reviews but everyone needs to know how great this place is!! The mega bloody was the stuff of dreams. I thought the drink was great and all the stuff on top was so delicious and on point exactly what I needed today! Shannon was my server and she was perfect very nice and attentive I never needed for nothing. I will be back to try the other stuff in the menu I was so impressed and had an amazing time. I've lived in yorkville for so many years n have never been here what a shame. I love you guys and I'll be back keep you the amazing work! read more

Ordered take out from here a few weeks ago, and the food was very good. Was very impressed with how carefully everything was packed up and kept fresh. So, we didn't feel like cooking tonight and decided to order takeout from Roadhouse again. A guy answered the phone, said because they are so slammed tonight they won't be doing takeout. Sorry, either you do takeout or you don't. I tried to give you my money - you decided you didn't want it. Maybe I could have accepted that if they guy was a bit more polite, but he was short with me. I asked if the "no takeout" just applied to phone orders or if I could come in and order takeout. That question got me about 10 seconds of silence, so I hung up and ordered from somewhere else. Don't treat me like I'm an idiot because you didn't anticipate that some people want to order takeout from a restaurant that offers takeout even on a busy night. When I plan what I want for dinner in the future, I don't want to have to have a back-up plan in mind just in case Roadhouse doesn't feel like doing takeout that day. Instead, Roadhouse is just off my list of restaurants I'll think about ordering from. Considering Rowdy's and Crusade are right down the street, they should probably come up with a better way to keep customers. read more
