    This place is pretty legit. They boast a decent menu with good staff. Overall, this restaurant is a nice addition to Manhattan. I have been here twice for dinner and once for lunch thus far. The two dinner experiences were completely different; the first time was with their very limited grand opening menu and the 2nd time was months later with a more robust menu. Both times boasted fantastic food. The wait time was a little slow, but it was a packed house (especially in the bar area). Me and my family's main gripe with this place was the lack of food before the main meal. A nice addition would be soup, salad, or some of those delicious Kirby's Bakery rolls before your meal (especially when the place is packed/wait for food is longer). My girlfriend and I also visited for lunch, which was a pleasant experience. We were the only people there, and the prices and food were both amazing! Most items were $4.99-$6.99, which included a side (and included soup for me too!) I have yet to try breakfast, but I am sure I will soon. Ultimately, this hole-in-the-wall joint on Route 52 is worth a stop.

    Brisket, green beans w/ bacon, and hush puppies.

    Roadhouse 52 is excellent! I've gone several times, and I'm always satisfied with the food, drinks, and service. The menu has a nice variety of options. The barbecue is very good. The beer list is incredible. On my first visit, I was astonished at the number and variety of craft brews. If you've driven by Roadhouse 52 before and thought it doesn't look like much from the outside, stop! The interior is cute, and it's an excellent place. Give it a try.

    What a fun place! We surprised my husband's aunt, uncle, and cousins and stopped by. Roadhouse is located in a small Illinois town and is tucked away on a side road surrounded by trees. The joint looks like roadhouses you've probably seen in the movies. They serve food, which I didn't eat, and alcohol, which I did partake. We joined the family on the patio to listen to the band River Road Trio. They were very good! There was a nice breeze and you could see endless stars in the sky. I love country and country rock music. (among many other music genres). The band played all of my requests. Peaceful, Easy Feeling by the Eagles (love this song a lot), Jackson and Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash, Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver (RIP!), Keep your hands to yourself by Georgia Satellites, etc. The bartender kept my wine glass full (gotta love that) and I two-stepped with my uncle and husband. The atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. The service was very good. The drink prices were even better. Even though they offer over 100 varieties of craft beer, the wine list was so-so. However, I didn't care. I was drinking and dancing the night away with family. There's no place I'd rather be.

    Texas bbq brisket. Goooood!  Mac n cheese w/cheddar cracker crust Local bakery dinner rolls from Kirby's Corner Bakery (goooood)

    See all

    Couldn't believe the selections of beer they had. It was outstanding. Good food - good service. Quite the hidden gem.
