We came opening night 6 years ago, and it was a disaster. The food was terrible, wait was horrible, etc. I wrote a bad review then for everyone to stay away from it. Tonight, my wife and I decided to give it another shot.
Boy am I glad we did...
I started with a beer on tap, which was came back nice and cold. For an appetizer, we settled on Korean style burnt ends. My wife is NOT a BBQ person, but we loved these. They were fantasticly crisp, with a Korean BBQ flavor that was on point.
For our entrees, I went with the 2 meat plate, with Brisket and Sausage, with Corn on the Cob and Mac and Cheese as my sides. The wife went with the full rack of baby back ribs, green beans and sweet potato fries. My brisket was moist and flavorful, (they give you 4 sauces on the table) the mac and cheese was creamy, and the sausage was also somehow moist and smokey, despite looking dry.
My wife was gracious enough to let me try some of her food, and the ribs were fall off the bone delicious. The sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had, being crispy with a fluffy interior. At the end, we decided to pack up our entrees for lunch tomorrow (the portions are VERY generous), and order dessert.
We both got the peach crisp skillet ala mode, and both of us finished it despite being full.
To top things off, our server (please forgive me for not remembering your name) mentioned that he has been there for 4 years, and was VERY polite, attentive, and not annoying at all. Checked on us at the exact right times, and made sure we were well taken care of.
All said and done, between the two of us was around $85, (not including tip), and we left with another meal for lunch tomorrow. Our experience was phenomenal, and we will be regular customers from here on out.
Kudos to Roadhouse Ribs for an amazing...

First off, thank you to the entire staff for an amazing fine-dining experience! The food was tasty and the service was phenomenal. For appetizers I got the fried green tomatoes and my daughter got the develish eggs. It came out fresh and delicious. For dinner I got the ribeye and my daughter got the shrimp alfredo. Let me say this: I’ve been to steakhouses from Charleston, SC to Las Vegas Nevada. The best of the best: Ruth Chris, Flemings, Morton’s—you name it, I’ve been. And the ribeye I received from here tonight can go toe to toe with any ribeye from any of those 5 star steakhouses. It was the most perfectly cooked, flavorful steak I’ve ever had. That smoky flavor along with the seasoning blend nearly made me tear up. The steak came out hot and fresh. I asked for medium-well, and it was a perfect medium-rare-wellish. The potatoes that came with it had a sweet taste to it that I’ve never experienced, but it was super delicious. The green beans as well. My daughter’s shrimp alfredo was also flavorful, hot & fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The shrimp actually taste like shrimp. I could cry tears of joy right now. I was so afraid I wouldn’t be pleased because of some of the reviews I read before coming, but I was really craving steak, and for the life of me I can’t understand how or why some people said what they said. My experience here is one of the best I’ve had. We were checked on consistently, the staff was friendly & kind, and the food; well it was the best as I said. I highly recommend this place. I can’t believe I’ve been driving by it for 8 months now and just now decided to stop by. I live less than 2 miles away, so I’ll be returning. Again, to the staff, thank you!

Oh boy, so the food was great, I’ll give them that. The host/manager…not so much. We walk in on NYE as a party of 5 and only one table is seated inside the restaurant. We stood at the entry for 5+ minutes waiting for someone to greet us, which isn’t a big deal, we assumed they were busy in the back. Then, the host arrives and arrogantly throws his hands up at us without saying a word… what a way to greet smiling customers!
We walk up to the stand, he says “got reservations?” My husband asks if we needed to make any (it’s our first time here) and the man’s words were “well, it is New Year’s Eve…most places won’t seat you without reservations” then gives us another arrogant look. (I’ve walked into restaurants on NYE plenty of times, but if you require reservations, there’s a more professional way to let us know). After a few moments of awkwardness, he seats us saying “I’ll seat you just because I don’t think the reserved party will show up by the time you’re finished” (mind you, in the entire hour+ we were there, only 3 other parties arrived after us and at least 2 of them were walk-ins. I know this because i heard the same rude conversations take place with these groups). At the table, he hands out our menus and says “here are our New Year’s Eve specials, in case anybody forgot what day it was”. Mind you, he’s not being light-hearted or sarcastically funny, he’s being completely arrogant.
Our waitress was great, but the host made me feel like I committed a crime just by entering the restaurant. Maybe he has good days, but NYE was not it. (But like I said, the food was good.)
Oh, and if you’re curious, our group did try to call ahead. Nobody...
