Creamed chipped beef home fries and bacon. He got scrambled eggs and country fried steak. He was ecstatic

Loved it. Heard about it from friends. Big portions. Good service. Will happily be back

French toast and bacon
Brenda W.

I was hoping for a stellar dining experience. It was just ok. Quick seating and good service by our server so that was a plus. Many food options for lunch or breakfast and that was welcomed. I opted for a short stack (2) of French toast and bacon. The bacon was crispy and good but the French toast disappointed. No powdered sugar and not fluffy and taste wasn't what it should be. Syrup was in single packaged container. Meh.

The Philly...servicable...very good fries.

A totally unassuming local place. Its a little beat up, decor is dated, furniture a bit beat up. It was, however clean enough, so no issues there. With some guidance and an influx of cash this could be one of those good diners & dives places. Maybe someone could recommend them to that Restaurant Impossible show? I'm not sure how many pass through tourists they get. They were "nice enough" but seem confused that a brown person and a pink person could come into a restruarant together. That we are married and live in the same house would blow some of their minds. We had a nice young woman server (who I guess handles the "exotics"), earned herself a cost of the meal tip. She was smart, quick and polite. The food was simple, decently executed and actually hit the spot. We knew there were more exotic meals to come later on the trip. I don't think we would travel from central MD just to come here. If we were passing by for some reason, we might stop again.

Eggs Benedict...I think???

How this places gets 3 1/2 stars is beyond me! I ordered the Eggs Benedict and I firmly believe there should be a law against using crappy hollandaise sauce mix! Eggs Benedict is one of those quintessential items that really only have 4 ingredients but OOOHHHH how they can SUCK!! Not sure about anything else on the menu but DO NOT GET EGGS BENEDICT HERE!!! But, If you do because well maybe they had a bad day... get it with the warm vanilla pudding on the side!

3 eggs over easy with scrapple, home fries and toast.

The best breakfast spot in town! Affordable prices, large portions and fast service. Highly recommended.

Hash browns, sausage and eggs!

Best country fried steak I have had in Maryland. Would have gotten 5 stars, but the blue cheese dressing on the salad bar was watered down.

Unbelievable litte gem!…read more Hubby and I took a shakedown trip in our camper and as luck would have it, it would rain the first day. We knew this in advance (thank you weatherman!) so we decided that we would look for a place to have dinner on the shore. I checked what was close to Martinak State Park and one of the places that sounded good to my husband was the Preston Roadhouse Bar and Grill, so we decided to give it a whirl. We love small business and try to support them whenever we can. It's a cute little store front in the sleepy little town of Preston. You can appreciate these calm little places when you have to hustle and bustle through Baltimore daily. I was a little worried that we weren't *dressed* (hey, we were camping!), but casual works here for sure. We sort of took a seat because they seemed busy and we were not quite sure what to do, but no worries, it was fine....I would wait for a server to come over though. We were given menus and pretty much a few minutes later, our server Luke came over to take our drink orders which we promptly gave him. Upon bringing back the menus, he told us about all of their specials that evening. I decided to go for one of them which was the scallops and Parmesan risotto. My husband selected the shrimp and grits which was also on my radar. I figured that I could have some of his. As an appetizer, we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts. Our drinks arrived and a few minutes later, we were dining on these wonderful brussel sprouts! They were fried perfectly and had a nice topping to include cranberry, maple bacon and a balsamic glaze which balanced them out perfectly! Right on cue, our dinners arrived. Everything was good perfectly. The scallops were a nice size and the risotto was delicious. I really did love my husband's dish of shrimp and grits. I would have been just as happy with that one too. The grits were cheesy, the shrimps were a beautiful size and it had a smattering of pork barbecue in the middle of the grits. Very tasty and everything was served at the right temperature. We had no room for dessert....we couldn't finish our dinners. The dessert menu and the desserts brought out looked scrumptious though, so we would definitely go for it! Luke was an amazing server....he gave us his suggestions when we asked, something that I totally appreciate, because not only do they know what has been going out, but with many of the servers we know, they will tell us exactly what they enjoy....and the majority of the time (barring actual fish speaking for me as I don't care for it) they are right on! If you are just on a ride to the shore or if you live in the area, I would give them a try....very friendly little place!

The food is delicious here! I've tried many entrees and was not disappointed one time. The service…read moreis excellent, too. This is my favorite place to eat.
