Stopped in thanksgiving eve Not surprised that is was very quiet. We each had a beer and an appetizer. The appetizer which I can't pronounce was amazing. Bread and a dip that had truffle oil burrata and chopped Tomatoes The best part was the bartender Anderson. So kind and gracious. read more

The food was outstanding, as was the service. I'll go back again, this time before or after a show at the Melody Tent, which a short walk. Bravo to the new owners...really exceptional food. read more

Excellent. Loved the atmosphere, very comfortable. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful. Bread was warm with a crunchy crust. I had the lamb which was excellent, my companion had the salmon which she liked a great deal. Good wine menu, attentive staff, good food. We've been looking for a place to go when we want to really go all out and enjoy the food, and we found it. Relaxed, comfortable but very good food. Maybe a little pricey, but it's on the Cape. Highly recommend. BTW, I was worried about the jazz overwhelming us. They play on Wednesday and Saturday, and the owner makes sure the volume doesn't drown out conversations. read more

We had looked forward to having our Thanksgiving dinner ever since last year because it was wonderful. Well that won't happen again. This year it was a buffet, which was as gross as one would expect. But here's my main warning: The buffet costs $69 and mainly involved us watching really old and injured people struggling to carry food. The decision to switch from table service to a buffet was no doubt a cost-cutting measure, but not smart. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. We went early on a Thursday night in August. My husband LOVED the octopus appetizer. And that they had blue cheese stuffed olives for his martini. I enjoyed the caprese salad-good pesto and sweet balsamic dressing and a glass of Albariño wine. For our main course, he had and thoroughly enjoyed the swordfish dinner, the fish was cooked perfectly. I had the lobster ravioli which I found be a bit lacking. Banana foster for dessert, very tasty treat. We will return. read more

We were seated at 6:15, gave drink order. Drinks delivered at 6:30, gave food order. Food took 35 minutes to come, server did not appear to check in whether we wanted more drinks until after we got the food. Service horrible, food slow. Poor value. Food was okay but I'm glad we stayed away from the pricey items. read more

The service and the food were great! It was a fun relaxed evening and everything was delicious. We easily made a reservation on open table at the last minute. It is amazing how they serve so much good food in such a large place without losing quality. The staff even went the extra mile to call us when our son left his giant ridiculous straw hat behind. read more

Tonight we asked for Anderson to be our server. If you haven't been here and had such great service, such attention to what you might like, then you haven't been waited on by Anderson! Not only does he make the BEST Tequila Spritz, he brought us a taste of the classic Gin Basil Smash. Oh my - so fresh and delicious. Did I mention the food was still AMAZING? Come to the Roadhouse Cafe and ask for Anderson - at the Bar or table - he is the best! read more

Good food and drinks, but the service was a mess. A member in our party ordered a main meal off the menu, and were told only after all the other meals already arrived it shouldn't have been on the menu. It was a shotgun approach to quickly order another item, and a second round of 1 additional drink we ordered at that time didn't show up until the check. Nothing was considered to accommodate the situation and they even built in a 20% tip for themselves on the tab, which was pretty bold. Would recommend for takeout! read more

Our server and the food was outstanding. I had veal parmigiana and it was delicious. We sat in the bar area with a warm fire in the fireplace. read more

Went around 6pm on a Saturday and plenty of room at bar. Our meals were good however the $47 ribeye was no value especially since sides were ala cart and $7 each. Ribeye was cooked to perfection a bit over seasoned but good. Chicken picatta was a very fair portion and flavorful Clams Casino were not great mushy and did not seem super fresh. Weird choice of cheap silverware for the price point of this place. Plastic handled steak knife that felt like it was purchased at a discount warehouse. Bartender was attentive enough and friendly enough drinks were decent. Overall it was not a bad meal, but we won't be back mostly due to lack of value. read more

My husband and I had not been back here since they reopened under new ownership after COVID. We had the pleasure of dining here while on our summer vacation. They kept my favorite dish, chicken homard on the menu!, Our server was Livingstone, he couldn't have been nicer which always makes dining so pleasurable. The new owner was friendly and informative. The food was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I highly recommend if you're in this area of Cape Cod that you give it a try. They also have Live Jazz music on Wednesday and Saturday! read more

Sadly the fish was way over cooked (it was taken off the check). Chowder was very thick and buttery (not award winning in my mind). Kitchen was in the weeds and food took about an hour from order to apps. Service was friendly and accommodating, just not up to Dave Columbo's former standards for the Roadhouse. Beautiful building, just not running on all cylinders yet. We will let them get more time in the saddle, and give them another shot in a month or two. read more

Great food. Both our dishes were delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. Great ambiance.

First shout out to the charming Livingston who made my friends birthday lunch special ! The food Was excellent steak soo delicious took home leftovers! My friend's chicken lobster dish amazing as well ! We were never rushed and the food is worth going back for more ! read more

Stopped by "Ricky's" Roadhouse Cafe at 488 South St, Hyannis, MA today for lunch. What a pleasant surprise. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere and the service. The bartender (Livingston) mixed us great drinks in the front bar area, which was recently updated. They offer both a lunch menu and dinner menu with reasonable prices, especially given the high quality of their dishes. The Point Judith Calamari was perfect and tender. The menu offered a nice variety of pasta dishes, seafood, and steaks plus real Wagu beef in their signature burger. We will definitely be back! read more

Two of us for dinner split the wedge salad it was ok, shrimp scampi came only with angel hair pasta small shrimp and only five. Chicken parmigiana Angel hair pasta again not my favorite. was good but sauce was very acidic. One beer and one Diet Coke. 98.00 plus tip. read more

For a new launch of an existing restaurant you would imagine at the very least customers and locals would come first!!! Let's start with water, both glasses on the table had rings around them we were told that they are the old glasses from the previous owners & they were not dirty, just stained WHAT ??? Then we were offered bread prior to our meal which was great, we asked for butter we were told NO, that the new owners don't want to purchase or offer butter. What was offered was red sauce ( what if people can't eat red sauce or don't like it, then what, we eat dry bread? ) Moving on to our meal we ordered surf and turf with steak tips, chicken breasts, and shrimp.. The steak was ok not terrible but not great. I asked for it cooked medium well it was more like medium rare. The biggest issue was the chicken which was paper thin, way over cooked & dry. I could not chew it and had to spit it out. I mentioned to our waitress that the chicken was really dry, thin and not edible. The waitress apologized and said she would tell the owner, the owner never came to the table, never said sorry or offer a cup of tea, nothing! However the biggest disappointment was that the owner never came to the table. Will not be going back.. On a positive note our waitress was wonderful very very lovely person !!! See photos read more

The Roadhouse - Thin dry chicken breast - Italian Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

We were excited to be back at the reopened Roadhouse after years closed, but sadly we were grossly disappointed across the board. Party of 6. Started with drinks. Most average at best, but Manhattan was well crafted... and huge! Hot sourdough bread was the best food item of the whole night! Food. Just awful. Two of us declined to even take home leftovers. First appetizers: chowder was good; Caesar had no flavor at all and a $4 surcharge for 3 small dry anchovies was unacceptable; duo tuna -- it's the cape... how can you serve raw tuna with absolutely no flavor!? Next dinners. Encrusted salmon was mediocre at best. Moist, but not much flavor and crust just didn't work. Veal Marsala was gloppy and not tasty. Chicken parmigiana was a huge portion and was decent. Chicken piccata was much smaller and ok. Scallops on pesto risotto -risotto was tasty, but of the 8 small scallops, 6 were tough and overcooked. Service was terrible. Asking for two minutes more to decide led to 15 minutes before checking back. That would have been forgettable if it didn't get worse! We had three with food allergies. Handled well, but two dinner orders were not put in. We were told they would be right out. After 5 minutes or so, pressed the waitress why and she tried to blame it on allergies. Pure nonsense, especially since only one was an allergy alert, and they already served two other allergy dishes. After 15 minutes when our friends were already more than half done, I went looking for the manager who told me the reason was the two orders weren't put in! Mistakes happen. Do not lie about it. At least they comped the two. Although manager never did come back to apologize. No desserts. After that much bad food, wasn't going for more. Ambiance . A plus. Nicely done, but not gonna compensate. read more

Our two entrees, shrimp scampi and Osso Buco, we're fantastic. The shrimp Scampi sauce was delicious. Not thin and runny like most times at other restaurants. The Osso Buco was very tender and flavorful with a delicious wine reduction sauce. Portions were plentiful. Our mojitos were great and the decor was cozy, almost like a private club. Would recommend. read more

I ordered the filet mignon and my friend ordered the sirloin steak. Absolutely delicious. I'm listening. I would give this restaurant five stars!! The grilled asparagus was delicious. read more

An amazing oasis in a food desert. Because there's just no restaurants built because all there is wilderness except for this place to eat it's wonderful and the food was great. They could get away with having only mediocre food considering the dirt of other options but they doubt they give it. They're all it was awesome great atmosphere great food read more

Ate here last night. Made a reservation a few days earlier. Our server, Anderson, was very friendly and went above and beyond to make our dinner experience enjoyable. The Carbonara was delicious, as was the Encrusted Salmon. Crème Brûlée was a perfect dessert to finish. Valet parking so you don't have to search for parking in the street. read more

First time back since the reopening. We were excited. But sad that it was a disappointing experience. Wait staff was great but it was clear that the support behind them was struggling. Our waiter had to deliver apology after apology (about the under staffed kitchen) until our meals arrived. Although the kitchen is possibly one of the most important departments the customer is what matters most. Hope you figure out a process that works for everyone. See you next year maybe.....we'll be watching your reviews..... thank you! read more

Food was great staff was professional and friendly. The owner Ricky came around to ask how everything was. Atmosphere was warm and inviting. To anyone looking for a great place to come here you will not be disappointed. Mark Amendolare read more

We were long, long time customers of the former Roadhouse and loved it! We heard mixed reviews from locals on the reopening and weren't sure what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. Either the owner or manager greeted us at the door and couldn't have been more friendly. We shared that we were customers of the former establishment and with that he gave us a tour and showed us the few changes they had made which were all quite nice, yet you still have that charming older vibe. Our waiter, Livingston, was equally as friendly and tentative throughout the evening. My husband ordered the Clam Chowder & Chicken Parmesan and I had the Grilled Swordfish. These are all dishes we frequently have had other restaurants and we've had our share of both good & bad. These were all very good. Portions were very large and extremely tasty. Give it a try! It's worth it. read more

Food was.very good? Service was great. Very pleasant evening . There is a bar area also but we did not sit at the bar.

The servers make the experience one that cannot be compared to any others .From Vince to Billy to Lana and Tim. They take service to the next level. The host Ricky is the friendliest hands in owner you'll ever meet. There to serve your every need. And most of all the musical, lyrical and consummate professional singer Lori Palumbo. The jazz is back ladies and gentlemen. Yes the diva herself has returned. Need I say more? I can... read more

I am so pleased that the Roadhouse is open again. Six of us dined there on November 10th. Each meal was well prepared and presented. The waitstaff were professional and friendly . The atmosphere was warm and inviting. When we heard that the owner, Ricky, was honoring veterans with a complimentary meal on Veterans' Day, we decided to come back the next day to show our support. (One member of our party is a veteran) Kudos to the Roadhouse team for honoring our veterans in this way. We discovered that Ricky is a veteran as well as several of his staff. I highly recommend that you give the Roadhouse a try and wish Ricky and his team much success! read more

One of the best meals we've had on the Cape. Under new ownership, seems like a new menu, definitely delicious. Really enjoyed the pomodoro sauce for the bread, excellent wine list, the salmon was delicious. Everyone loved their meal. Our server was professional and kind. Bartender was really pleasant and we enjoyed our conversation. Will definitely be back! read more

Our reservations were given away to another party of 4 even though we told the staff 2 times where we were waiting for over an hour. The food sounds great but is just ok. Too many tables in a small space. Very loud and waitstaff bangs into your chairs. We won't be going back..more than anything because the management didn't handle our concerns at all well. read more

So happy to see this spot back open after years of being closed. We went during a price fix menu and the waitress accommodated us with some off menu choices. Had a piano player and singer that was nice for the ambiance. Food was good as was service. Will be back soon. read more

Tonight was the first time we ate at the Roadhouse since it reopened in October '24 and it was excellent. We shared a Stracciatella appetizer which was delicious. We then had Veal Picatta, Risotto and grilled shrimp. Everything was perfectly prepared and we look forward to going back soon! read more

Food was excellent, but steak dishes were ala carte. Waitress was excellent. Bar tender made a mistake on everyone's drink, was mean to the waitress and disinterested in making the situation better. read more

Roadhouse is back! If you're like me and enjoyed their menu before they closed, you'll be pleased to see that their former chef has returned and a number of some old favorites are on their current menu. My personal fave is their Roadhouse Fra Diavolo, which is still delicious. My parents and I visited last night and had a great dinner from start to finish. I'm not usually a dessert person but our waiter, Vince, recommended his homemade flan which my stepmother ordered. Not only am I not usually a dessert person but I'm also not a fan of flan, so I politely declined. Well, I'm glad that he brought out 3 spoons for us to share because last night was the first time that I've ever actually enjoyed flan! The consistency was more firm than other flan that I've had and the flavors and accompanying caramel sauce were excellent! This dessert should be added to their menu permanently! I'm happy to see that Roadhouse has returned and we will be back! read more

Under its new ownership, had not visited before tonight, the service was exceptional. Thank you Bill from J&W. I had the roasted beet salad with chèvre and grilled chicken. Very good. My Dad had the chowder followed by fish and chips. Both were fresh, well prepared and cooked perfectly. We will be back. Nothing pretentious. I met my dad after the gym and was in sweats. It's very low key. Valet parking made it easy with a $5 tip. Valet was courteous na professional read more

Went on a week night 6pm. New valet station but no one was there it was dark so I could not make out any signs saying there was or wasn't a valet. Cars in lot did look like they had been parked by valet back to back. I parked and went to front door. There was a sign saying "private party entrance", no other instructions as to alternate entry. Because many years ago I worked there I knew about the back entrance. No hostess so I waited. Only 1 table occupied in back room, 1 out of the 4 bar booths occupied and a few people at bar. A waiter sat me at a booth. My friends went in the front entrance and were told to leave (they had no idea where to go), they had to call me to figure it out. We ordered drinks, 2 drinks came and then the 3rd about 10 min later. We were waiting for a 4th person who had trouble finding parking and waited for the valet who never came. A woman & man (staff) came to our table and she loudly said "what's going on ladies"? We weren't sure if she was our new server but seemed annoyed with us. I explained we were waiting on our 4th person but she was having trouble parking and thought there was a valet. She responded by rudely saying "well we don't have a valet tonight"; she turned and walk away. Please note we previously told our server that we would be happy to order because we didn't want to tie up his table and he said no worries it wasn't busy. Only 1 other party arrived while we were there. Ordered our food it was just ok. Service at times good and then he'd disappear. We ordered a 2nd round of drinks with our meal and 1 wine never arrived by the time he came back we were finished. Bartender was very loud discussing sex. Too bad, the old Roadhouse was great. Doubtful any of us will return. read more

Buyer beware! Overpriced $17 for a small, small Cosmo martini, more lime and cranberry juice than vodka or Cointreau. Ordered appetizer, crab cake ( very small , dollops) which ended ended up costing more than the chicken parm entree, $28 would have been worth it if the portions were fair and you got what you paid for. Parm sauce was good but shorted on the pasta. Small portions, weak drinks, disappointing . read more
