Being 73 years of age, I of course remember Roy Rodgers as a television cowboy, but my question would be who under 50 years of age much less anyone under 30 would know about him. So, to see a restaurant still bearing his name was a surprised, especially since Roy was never known for food. Overall, however, I was rather delighted with it a fast food restaurant. My service was good and though it would seem their main offering is a roast beef sandwich. However, as I had one of their "Spicy Chicken" sandwiches at Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountain Rest Stop and found it to be totally good, I order one here too. Advertised as a marinated, fried, all-white-meat chicken breast with Monterey Jack cheese and spicy "boom boom" sauce on a Kaiser roll it was really good and precisely the same as the one I previously had. read more

On May 4, 2026 while driving through Pennsylvania on our way home to Michigan we stopped at this service plaza and ordered a beer, battered fish platter to go planning to eat it while driving down the road to save time after filling the car with fuel we went approximately two or 3 miles up the road Before I opened the bag to get the food out and to my horror I saw the worst looking food I've ever seen which was completely uneditable, and I was shocked that anyone would serve such food to a customer. The cook served it. The staff packaged it in the container and bagged it And nobody thought it was unacceptable to do so. I tried calling the phone number because I thought these is this way to rectify. This was to have them cancel my purchase since I had just left. It would've been easy for the manager to just cancel the purchase and credit back my card. I called at least eight times letting it ring multiple times and nobody ever answered clearly they don't answer the phones there the next day at home I sent an email in and I am currently waiting for a response. I cannot in good conscience. Recommend eating at this location as I do not personally feel like the food is edible. read more

This place should close down. The food was not only very expensive, it was horrible. And the condiments to put on it yourself looked bad. Do yourself a favor and keep driving. read more

How does this location not sell roast beef at all? That's the main thing people come here for. Come on, get it together.

In the north somerset rest stop. Good amount of fries and onion rings. At first I said the gold rush sandwich was pitiful but with the fixin' bar it became one of my favorites. Load on that lettuce, tomatoes and onions to make it full veggie loaded sandwich! read more

Stopped by Roy Rogers on a recent road trip. Visiting this place reminded me that my sister worked at Roy Rogers in our home town during high school. I ordered two chicken sammiches and my family ordered some food. My daughter decided to buy herself a latte from Starbuck's and skipped Roy Rogers. About 10 minutes later our food was ready. My wife handed my daughter my second chicken sammich. So I got back in line and waited another 10 minutes for a chicken sammich. The chicken sammiches were pathetic. They didn't have any seasoning or flavor and the chicken was tiny. An old Wendy's commercial came to mind while eating the lame sammich, "Where's the chicken?" Anyway, I'll skip Roy Rogers the next time I'm in this area. read more

Roy Rogers - Storefront - Fast Food Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

I'm a truck driver and was there at 7am when they opened, I placed my other and the lady in the back said very loudly " Really the first order is a platter". So I thought I'd go back for lunch since I was stuck here because of my break, I went in for lunch and I ordered chicken and pickle fries. The pickle fries were good and the chicken was okay. But there was comments made again when I asked for legs and thighs since I don't like breast meat. read more

Chicken tenders were full of grease and tough. Steak and cheese sandwich reaked of stale burnt grease. The meat itself had no flavor.

This Roy Rogers restaurant is located in the food court of the North Somerset Travel Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. On my visit, they appeared to be adequately staffed but service was really slow. Employees seemed rather indifferent. I ordered a fried fish sandwich and fries. The sandwich didn't look or taste fresh and wasn't very good though I did appreciate the "Fixin's Bar" where I was able to add condiments. The fries were okay. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. read more

After a long day of driving we we're famished when we arrived at the North Somerset Service Plaza. We hadn't eaten all day so we were extremely happy that Roy Rogers was open. Now, I don't expect much from food establishments in truck stops/service plazas. I think it's because I've had some sub par food over the years. Okay, back to Roy Rogers. The Hubby and I ordered a 3 piece fried chicken that came with a biscuit for $8.69. I ordered a small mac n cheese for $2.99 and he ordered a small baked beans for $2.99. The chicken was REALLY good. It was crunchy and moist. Although, the breast was slightly dry. The Mac was okay, it was a little on the watery side. The biscuit was the BEST part of the meal. It was hot, fresh and flaky. For two people we paid about $28 for two 3 piece fried chicken, 2 small sides and 2 extra biscuits. After we ordered we noticed that we could of paid $26 for a family meal that comes with 8 pieces of fried chicken, 2 large sides and 4 biscuits. It would of been great if the cashier brought this to our attention but she didn't. Oh well, now we know! If there's two of you the family meal is the way to go. We will definitely be back but I think I'll pass on the Mac next time and go for the baked beans. read more

I talked my husband into stopping here as neither of us have been to a Roy Rogers in more than 20 years. I ate at Roy Rogers regularly in my teens & 20s so I had to visit for nostalgia's sake. It was busy & we waited in line for about 10 minutes & then an additional 10 minutes for our roast beef sandwiches & fries to come out. There was a self-serve station for the ketchup & horseradish sauce which was great because I like a lot of horseradish sauce on my sandwich. The fries were hot & the roast beef sandwiches were good. It was pricey & I'm guessing that it's because it's located in a turnpike rest stop. I can eat at Arby's for half the price so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return but thanks for the memories! read more

Took 20 minutes for ONE chicken sandwich. Made me late for an appointment. Don't have to worry about me ever coming back here.

Roy's brings back mixed childhood memories for me. On the one hand, I always looked forward to it when I was growing up... it was 4 blocks away in Arlington and we would frequently stop by in the summer for a shake and a cheeseburger. On the other hand, I remember when my heart sank when my favorite fast food restaurant locked the doors and boarded up the windows, along with all of the others nearby. Our closest one is now 35 minutes away. Needless to say, I will take every opportunity to stop by a Roy Rogers and grab a bite to eat. This particular location is my rest stop on my monthly trip home from Michigan... about two hours outside of DC, it is a convenient place to stop before the final leg of the trip. As with any rest area food joint, it looks beat up and worn out. If you go during the day, prepare to fight through traffic and long lines, especially during heavy travel days such as holidays. As I'm usually there at night, service is quick, although not very upbeat (fine by me... I'm not chipper at 1am either). The few things I've tried on the menu haven't been bad and they are exactly what I'm craving - a quick meal that will put keep me going for a few more hours on the road. Beware of tour busses! As this is the only restaurant at the plaza (unless you count Cinnabon), it gets all of the hungry tourists swarming it for a quick bite... wait times can be long. read more

Credit card machine went down and they had no other means to take a card. Poor customer service. They would have been better to give the food away to keep a customer. I'll never go back there again. read more

Made a quick stop along the turnpike as we headed back to Pittsburgh and was looking for a quick bite, lucky for us Roy Rogers was there for us. I have heard of Roy Rogers of course from his T.V work and I do remember hearing something about the restaurants too, but I assumed they were long gone. Menu was very basic as fast food goes, much like my local fast food places there were burgers and chicken and even a fish sandwich. Service was good and quick and food was just o.k, nothing special here, exactly what you expect from fast food and the prices followed suit. The best thing was their special sauce, a kind of zesty BBQ, all and all it was O.K by me, Aloha read more

Roy Rogers - Fast Food Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

Roy oh roy....I have mixed feelings toward you. On the one hand, I had a SERIOUS craving for some fried chicken and biscuits, of the Kentucky Fried type, and given that the nearest KFC was nearly an hour away in all directions, I'm glad you were there to help satisfy. On the other hand...you don't taste too hot. Your chicken was not chicken, but rather a mass of fried dough. And the biscuit was unsatisfactory to say the least. I appreciate the effort Roy, but I'm not digging it. read more

Roy Rogers - fried chicken breast & biscuit $4.85 - Fast Food Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

DISGUSTING. First time in my life I have asked for a refund on food. Would give 0 stars if I could. Chicken tenders were old, dry and inedible. Fries were old, cold and stale. Everything was gross. read more

I stopped here because I wanted some fries. I decided to get a burger as well. It was a rather long wait but the staff was very nice. The fresh lettuce, onion, tomato bar is a nice idea. The fries were ok but nothing to rave about. The burger was ok too. I have mixed feelings about a restaurant based upon a celebrity that was before my time. I imagine a time when kids were excited to get a burger from this place. In my opinion the Roy Rogers theme is way outdated but who knows? Maybe there are plenty of folks that are nostalgic about the place. read more

This place was a disappointment. They are very understaffed and have no room for mistakes. After waiting 25 min for my "fast food" meal. The order wasn't even correct. I ordered a chicken sandwich and was given a roast beef sandwich. I could tell the workers were very stressed when I needed to change my meal out. The fries were hard and there was only about 5 in there. You're better off getting pizza the place next door or a box meal from Starbucks. read more

If you are anywhere nearby, you should definitely get the chicken. It is so delicious and the pieces are huge. Tip: don't buy the 12 pieces or more if there is only two or even three of you. Had to eat chicken the next day as well which was still pretty good. read more

So good! We got delicious burgers and fries that totally hit the spot. They were getting ready to close but cooked for us anyways. We were so hungry and it was getting late. We love these PA rest stops, so nice! read more

I haven't been in a Roy Rogers in Years!! I didn't know they were still around actually. I made a stop at this rest area for some gas and some food. The line was moving fast so I hopped on and ordered a Double cheeseburger and some fries. The only thing I don't like about these rest areas is that they don't sell their foods as combos as they normally would so I had to pay for everything individually. The cheeseburger was huge tho! It definitely help me over for the remainder of my drive. read more

On the PA Turnpike in the Somerset Service Station. Ugh...this was bad. Had a roast beef sandwich with french fries. Everyone knows what a hot dog tastes like and this "roast beef" sandwich tasted like it was sliced from a really BIG, BAD hot dog. How do people eat this? I stuffed my half down and then tried one of the fries. Whoa! No thank you. Moving on. This was my first time at Roy Rogers and it will be my last! read more

Saturday afternoon 2pm OUT OF ROASTBEEF!! Wth and the cashier just stood there. I asked "1 Lg Roast Beef pls" The cashier answers "I'm out" I think I looked at the sign cause maybe I was at the wrong place (Roys is located in a food court) The cashier then says "I'm out of Roast Beef" no I'm sorry and nothing else!! What restaurant known for roast beef RUNS out of roast beef read more

Service was horrible, she forgot to put stuff on our order. (EX. a regular soft drink.) didnt mark down certain things we did NOT want on our food, like cheese..and when we asked about allergens because someone in our party is allergic to tree nuts, the lady at the cash register was unhelpful and never answered. From what i saw no one wore gloves, and the register lady picked at her acne the entire time. They had also run outta chicken and had to make more during lunch time. When we asked for our soft drink she got belligerent and upset. The food itself was oily, undercooked, the fries tasted like luke-warm and like egg whites. The fried chicken dripped burning oil and was bland inside and out. Overall disgusting food and service. read more

I wonder if it's this location. The chicken is very, very bland tasting. I wished I could I say it tastes like chicken but I am overwhelmed by the blandness. I find it difficult to believe that a franchise would sell something like this. read more

Lunchtime...which pretty consistently is the same time everyday, doesn't seem to matter when scheduling the number of employees working here. No, sir. One guy behind the counter; one guy in the kitchen. A line of 8 people waiting to order and 3 waiting for their orders. (And there wasn't a bus or tour group that just happened in.) Normal flow of customers. read more

This is absolutely the worst meal I have ever had. The chicken tastes like rubber. I actually double checked to make sure that it was cooked. The fries were disgusting. There is no reason to ever try this place again. If you have a choice, just get a sandwich From Starbucks next door. I've never written a review before. This was so bad I signed up for Yelp just to write this review. read more

Horrible. Even for fast food. Wait until you find a McDonald's or something else. Not worth it. Chicken tasted old/frozen/tough and the fries even worse! read more

Clean, fast, and not too expensive. Better than what I expected from a stop on the Turnpike.
