Very good experience! I took my friends here and they were so impressed that I picked somewhere that good! My friend’s new boyfriend was raving about the tuna dish and I swear it’s the most he’s ever said about anything in the entire time I have known him!
Excellent food! Was pleasantly surprised! They have fantastic crab Rangoon with some type of marmalade and their ahi tuna app is AMAZING! We Went there a couple months ago on a fluke and have been back now 5 times and it's not even in the town we live in! We took our "daughter in law" there for her birthday and they were great...going out of their way to accommodate us and help us with providing knife for the cake etc. Atmosphere is good. They have the main dining area with tvs but they aren't intrusive. They also aren't always sports. We had the dog show on the first time on one of the tvs. Upstairs is some great music and a more bar scene type of vibe. Roughly $20-30 a person but depends a lot on apps and drinks. They have a pretty good and unique/diverse drink menu as well.
We went here on a Wednesday night in January around 6:00. We sat up stairs. There was music overhead and loud conversations around us. You need to speak loudly to be heard. My husband ordered double/double burger. I ordered the NY Reuben. Both were very good. Pleased with our food which was delivered quickly and the server did a great job. Also, a delicious peanut butter pie. Our bill was $53.00 which included the tip.
I heard great things about this place and really wanted to go here for far too long. I was missing out! Everything that was ordered at our table was so delicious and I'd highly recommend. One of my kids ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The bun was warm, soft, flavorful and the beef was cooked and seasoned perfectly also. We shared loaded tots for an appetizer, and they were really good, covered in cheese, bacon and green onions. I ordered the mango coconut curry chicken and I'm dying to have it over and over again. My mother-in-law ordered the chicken pad thai and they also nailed it with this one. It could've been spicier (we didn't ask if they had spice levels). But even without it being spicier it was still really delicious and worth ordering again. My husband ordered the low country shrimp and grits and he said it was perfect. My other daughter had mac & cheese which was homemade (not too dry, not too cheesy), the pasta was cooked perfectly, and it has fresh, hand battered chicken tenders on top that were outstanding *we all loved this one*. Our waitress was super kind, helpful, never left our drinks empty and answered our many questions about the menu and was even kind to our two young kids. It's a roadhouse so expect it to be loud in there. There were sports playing on most of the tvs, the windows were open and the beautiful sun was shining in. The place was clean and we enjoyed ourselves. If you haven't been you better get there.
Sat at the bar had a fabulous spicy pineapple margarita. Dinner was a Korean BBQ chicken sandwich with Brussel sprouts as the side and I was so happy with the choice. My Boyfriend had the nights special seafood linguine and he said the seasoning was on point. The service was wonderful
Great campus roadhouse. Typically a college vibe going on, but good variety on the menu and deliciously prepared. My wife had the Ahi tuna and I had a burger. Both were excellent. Parking can be a challenge in the lot but I think there is street parking on both sides of the restaurant.
I’ve been a regular here at university roadhouse for years! They’ve always got great specials to try, and they’re making sure to spice things up often! Today I went in planning to get my usual, but I was looking at the fish sandwich special. I talked to Hayley V and she convinced me to try it out and it was fantastic! 10 stars to her, and her great attitude out there running around during the rushes they were having. Great employee and Super polite! Also, I do have to shout out the bar tender working today too. Zoe is always polite and on top of everything! Thank you both for the great service today.
Our sever Hali M was amazing and got to us quickly. The food came out hot and fresh and we got pretty large portions compared to what we expected!! The special Truffle and mushroom alfredo was perfect.
EXCELLENT food great staff! Prices great for the great food you got. Will definately return!
Wonderful food with clearly marked vegetarian options. Chicken was grilled to perfection, chops tender and full of flavor, and the drinks hit just right. Peach Cobbler at the end finished off a marvelous meal!
