BEST LITTLE ROADHOUSE REVIEWS

We absolutely love this place. We’ve gone once a week for the past 3 weeks. I always get the baked potato (loaded) as I call it. All 3 times our servers have been amazing… the food sometimes takes a little while to come out but it’s always fresh & hot so we don’t mind waiting. I’ve had the ribs, tri tip steak, 22 oz porterhouse & 9 oz filet mignon which were all amazing. I’ve also tried the pulled pork (my sister in law gets it a lot so I nibble off hers) & the salad that comes with the meal (if you order dinner) is delicious. Love love love this place.

Having an anniversary to celebrate, our family chose your place for dinner. We made reservations and were seated as soon as we walked in. I didn’t get the name of our server, but she was excellent and the food was fantastic. We were a party of ten for 5:30 and were seated in the outdoor section. Just wanted to let you know we will be back again because of the service and great food. Thank you and please thank that great server for taking are of us.

Pulled pork to die for! The rest of the dinner was great, too. My son is a picky eater and he was very happy with his meal, as well. We were promptly seat, drinks and their fabulous dinner rolls were brought to our table in short order. All-n-all very good service.

ORIGINAL ROADHOUSE GRILL REVIEWS

The bartender made the experience great. I can't remember her name but she worked by herself the whole day and was super friendly. I asked her opinion on food and her choice was perfect. Will happily go back and sit at the bar again.

The food is very good. The staff are attentive and friendly. Have been several times with my family of 4 and have even gone in with a family of 9 and food was prepared daily quick.

Excellent food every time. The food is flavored well, fresh, large portions, and cooked to your liking. This is definately our favorite food around. The bacon wrapped filet mignon is a must.

APPLEBEE'S GRILL + BAR SALEM REVIEWS

Vivian is an excellent bartender. Always sociable and happy to chat and help with anything you might need. Matt the manager is always there to watch the floor and make sure everything goes well. Overall the team is great and a pleasure to interact with. The food is always great. Five out of five stars.

We went for our sons celebration last baseball game and we enjoyed it so much! Spencer was a totally attentive waiter and even let us know a great burger addition they hadn't updated the menu with. Our family loved it and will be back.

Our server, I forgot his name, was the best waiter I've ever had. We had a fairly large group. Food was great. The menu was definitely updated since I went last. Food came quick. Everyone at the table had a great experience. Again the waiter was amazing.
