Look, I rate local dive bars with 5s because we need them. Ryan's Roadhouse is bigger than a dive…read morebar, but equally needed in its way. Ryan's is where you go when your crowd is too big for the your hole-in-the-wall hometown dive bar or when you're feeling fancy. It is a large space with bar and table seating. Depending on where you enter, you might have to go around the bar to find the host, just keep going. You'll find the seating. If you're in need of a banquet (up to maybe around 100 people?), they also have a well-appointed basement that you can rent, and they will cater your event. Back to the standard bar-restaurant area, they now have digital menus which work well, and they will teach you how to use them. There are specials on the landing page, and then sections for burgers, sandwiches, meals, etc. A wait person will still take your order and handle substitutions, requests, and recommendations. Service is solid, and the food is good. The menu is a bit too broad for it to be great food, but they do a wide variety of things surprisingly well, so you're safe ordering almost anything, though I would question the salad bar, not from Ryan's perspectives, but the guests. Cheers.

I posted a picture at the end of this review. Each salad included a fluffy freshly baked roll. The only negative was the rolls didn't come with real butter, but instead some oil spread which was not ideal. I also had a piece of their blueberry pie which was amazingly not too sweet not "corn-starchy", which is so often the case. I can only imagine the rest of their food offerings are ample and great! The service was excellent, and the ambience was amazing! The entire restaurant was beautifully decorated for Halloween. The bathroom was clean and handicap assisted. I highly recommend that you stop here for lunch or dinner. I am quite sure you won't be sorry!

I'm a sucker for a wet burrito so if I see one on the menu, it's always in contention for my pick…read more My wife and I decided to give theirs a shot, both choosing the ground taco beef, and neither of us were overly excited with our choice in the end. It severely lacked red sauce and the meat itself was very bland; we just didn't get that flavorful wet burrito experience we were hoping for. Outside of that, our servers were very good and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself was a pretty good size spot with plenty of seating; a little outdated on the decor but that's to be expected. I will say, the pieces of homemade pie they had sitting by the register way very tempting and I'm mad at myself for not getting one on the way out.

The Crave Shack just might have gotten 5 stars from me if their website and phone ordering were…read moresimpler. BUT both were a pain in the butt! We tried three different devices to place an online order and couldn't get to the cart to place the order and pay. Then we called the restaurant and they wouldn't take our order over the phone. Who does that and why?! Anyhow, we ended up sending someone to the restaurant to order. Which ended up being fine since he was going to pick it up our orders anyways. I ordered a chicken bowl loaded with rice, lettuce, banana peppers, street corn, cilantro and onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream, guac, green sauce, and pico de gallo. I wanted black beans too but either the restaurant forgot or the orderer missed them. Even so, this flavor combo was an amazing treat for my taste buds. I really think it was the street corn that made the dish! Lots of lime flavor. Although it was a lot of food, I devoured the whole bowl plus chips and salsa. The chips weren't the greatest, but it was still nice to have that crunch with my bowl. Since we did carry out, I can't comment on the ambiance. But this food would probably be good any where! Just wish I lived closer so I could enjoy it again.

I had the chicken philly with a side of southwest sauce (definitely get the sauce) and I cleared my plate before I could blink. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. It's a local joint and they put pride in the food and service. 10/10 would recommend!

The burger and Philly were of decent quality. The ambiance was a basic dive bar, classic rock and elderly clientele. The service was abysmal one waitress actually working, and sadly ours was not. Took about an hour to receive our food and the fastest part of the service was the bill. Overall decent service but definitely avoid certain wait staff and the 'wings'

The family like the chili and tacos. Their black bean burger was pretty good and we chose the mushroom and Swiss toppings. Their french fries, salad, and mozzarella sticks were pretty standard.

They also had some games for the kids and some lottery pull tabs, which were fun. The overall vibe here was typical sports bar.

We went with a fried goat chase appetizer, which I've never had before, and never even seen on another menu before. The cook clearly enjoys using balsamic glaze as this was used on both the appetizer and later on my entrée as well. Balsamic glaze is certainly delicious, but I'm not sure if it goes well on quite as many things as the cook seems to think it does. My entrée was a dish of mushroom ravioli prepared in a purée made with green peas. I noted that the chef used a variety of spices in preparing the purée, to very good effect. My wife ordered the New York strip, and what was brought out looked very good. We both had cocktails, and in both cases the cocktails or well-made. I ordered a Mojito type drink made with tequila. My wife ordered a strawberry Mamosa. I noted the care that was taken in preparing both drinks which tells me there's a professional bartender on staff. About the only thing that needs to be improved is the service. We waited just a bit too long for certain aspects of the meal in a restaurant that was nearly empty. The server was certainly polite and well mannered, but I think he was the only one working that evening. Perhaps on weekends they're better staffed?
