I love this place! Their food is amazing and I love their milk shakes. The Big Poppa is the way to go and I always get an extra 'puck'.
I picked up food for us at The Roadhouse while I waited for my fiance to finish the last bit of their install job they were working on at a local hotel. The woman on the phone was super nice when she took my order and so was the hostess when I picked it up. It was a good place to get something quick for pick up, fresh, hot, and yummy. Wisconsin Cheese Curds Brisket Sandwich w/Mac and Cheese. The mac and cheese had a little spice to it which was a nice change from your norm plain Jane stuff. Kahlua Pork Burger w/sweet potato fries. “Smashed burger topped with pulled pork, pineapple-avocado salsa, teriyaki sauce, American cheese, shredded lettuce & sliced pickles.”
Stopped here for late lunch on a Friday. First time. Food was really good, we enjoyed the brisket, coleslaw (which appears to be made in house) and both the regular and sweet potato Fries. Of course we couldn't leave without taking one of shakes to go. Best I have had in a long time.
The Oklahoma Onion burger was on point!!! Loaded fries... So good. And our server Miranda.... What can I say. She's the best.
Fun find on our first game weekend in Orange City. Popular place and was busy. Food was very good and reasonably priced relative to Omaha prices. Unfortunately they were either understaffed or just not very efficient. Everything was slow except our entrees which came one minute after our starter. Staff was very hurried and stressed. Will definitely go back but hope the service improves...for our sake and the staff’s.
This is my first time in Iowa. I’m here for work and being 11 hours from home, The Roadhouse made the trip worth it. I’ve visited here twice while in the area. The first time I had the BLTA Flatbread, Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls, and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Milkshake. The 2nd time was with work. I had the Mac N Cheese Burger and fries, it was delicious. I tried the Tikki Mule and Berry Berry Mule. Both were fantastic. Lastly, my server recommended the Cookie Dough Shake. It was absolutely amazing. When I return for work again, I will have to stop by.
Very good food. The baked beans were very good and the mac and cheese was awesome. We live in Brandon SD and will definitely be back. The BLT patty melt was also awesome
Might be the best Burger I have had. I got the Roadhouse Burger. They have really good shakes as well (8). The only thing that is underwhelming is the bottled ranch (I'm assuming here). The food here really is top notch. It's a popular place and it may take a while to get your food.
