The Roadhouse Grille — Restaurant in Surrey

This place is amazing and I've been going there for years, often times with my kids too. No joke, we are here 2 - 3 times per week. I can't imagine how there could ever be anything but a 4+ review here.

The food: It's so fresh (everything is made in house) and made to order, with quality ingredients - everything is delicious from appies to breakfast to the dinners. They even make their own cornbread, which my kids and I love. I've been on various phases of a very strict diet and they will cook my food and cater to that diet (at times no oil or fat at all). They also do not have a deep fryer so you won't get greasy food anyway and I LOVE their baked chicken wings!

The ambiance: It has the coolest decor and in most areas is retro, and in some more modern, so you choose which you want, depending on your mood and occasion. It's great for kids (there's a treasure cave and chest with toys) and great for date night. There's a bar if you want to sit and watch the flat screen, have a beer and watch a game.

The service: I've never had one bad server or service here. From the host/hostess to the owners, they're so friendly. They have taken the time to get to know me and my kids and my kids love coming here. If anything (RARE) ever needs to be adjusted by the kitchen I've just asked and they have no problem fixing it and don't make me feel bad about it :)

They are opening a Roadhouse 2GO next door too. I got this from their website so I'm being accurate. They'll offer "Artisan Gourmet Pizza we'll have some of our fresh and frozen Roadhouse Favourites for you take home, such as our lasagnas, chilis, and soups".

Two doors down they'll soon have a liquor store, which is cool since I live two blocks away!

Excellent food first off, 5* service 2*. It was our first dinner out in 1.5 years. We drive past here all the time and finally had a date night to try it out. From the street it looks small but actually it is a very large space. Very homey when you walk in. We were fortunate to end up in the seating area with a live fella playing a guitar (he was awesome) Sadly for them there were 4 other tables in this area. Our drink and menu order was fairly quick. Nachos full order was too much for us to share with a main course which we learned. No cutlery or napkins on the table yet but no real issue with this appy. Next time we saw our waiter was with our meals (wife ordered one of the main salads) we asked for napkins assuming cutlery was a given. We waited and waited as the waiter was too interested in the live entertainment. After 5 min I got up and asked him for cutlery. He brought 1 set for her. I guess the roasted potatoes with my burger are meant to be finger food in his mind. He did ask how everything was close to our being finished though and at that point a refill on the waters was enough as our drinks have been empty for a long time and too late / no point for a second round. It was quicker to get up and ask for the bill as our plates were never cleared. Sadly we would've had a much larger drink bill had he been more attentive. The fella playing the guitar was fantastic. After one of his sets he came around and asked if we had any requests - a very kind and thoughtful thing to do I'd say. Over all we will be back and hopefully it was a one off for service in this...

I'm giving the Roadhouse Grille 3.5 stars because I would tell people to go there for the decor but not necessarily for the food; additionally my companion did not like her food.

The decor is the heart and soul of the restaurant, it is exciting and the treasure cave is great for little kids, also it sounds like there is live music on a rotating platform which is awesome.

I ordered one of the burgers and enjoyed it fairly well; while not amazing, the patty was different and pretty good.

My companion ordered the open face roast beef sandwich with gravy on top; which she described as "tastes like canned gravy, and the cut of meat was not good". She also did get a stomachache after eating it.

Both dishes came with "fries" that were really country style potatoes (potato cubes) that were lukewarm.

We went in the afternoon on a Friday, there were not many people and service was quite fast. Our server was extremely friendly and we had a great conversation with her.

All in all I might go again because the food was decent (but not good or great), the atmosphere was awesome, and the server that we had was really nice. With that said I probably would have given 2 stars without the service because at the end of the day a restaurant should in my opinion be about the food.

I would highly suggest that the restaurant changes the description of their "fries" to something else as I did not expect that we would get cubes of potatoes instead of actual fries. Additionally I would highly suggest that they rework the roast beef sandwich as it was...
