Great food, great service, great atmosphere!
What's not great about it? The wait! They usually are only open for dinner, so you can imagine what that looks like at night. Some holidays, they are open for lunch.
The prices are really fair compare to most establishments. The best part is, they give you "FREE" hot and fresh rolls, served with cinnamon butter or whipped butter (upon request). These rolls are all you can eat too! I could just visit this place and fill up on the free rolls!
I absolutely love the rib eye steak. I have yet to try their prime rib, because they usually sell out of the medium within the first hour! They say they take 4 hours to prepare...so you can imagine how fast they go.
I got their pull pork sandwich once and really did not care for it at all...stay away from that. This is a steak place...so order steak! Their bloomin onion is very yummy!
Sign up for their e-club online and they will send you free appetizer coupons periodically. -

Always consistently good food.
Try to remember to order a smaller steak than you think you want- as the appetizers are great, as are the rolls, and desserts.
Try the fried dill pickle chips! -

This place gave me the best meal I had in Grand Junction. And, trust me, that's not saying much. Your best bet in here is probably a steak and a beer. Everyone else loved their steaks.
I had the chicken and portabellos with mashed potatoes and it was actually really good. It's the only thing that saved them from getting two stars.
The green beans were god-awful.
The chili was meh. (I swear, I'm done with red meat. Again. For real this time.)
And this place does NOT know what a Long Island Iced Tea is. It tasted like a margarita with some rum in it. -

The Roadhouse is a chain steakhouse with excellent food and a wide variety of sides. It is very consistent and kids love the buckets of peanuts and the shells all over the floor.
ROLLIN', ROLLIN', ROLLIN' - KEEP THOSE DOGGIES MOVIN' - RAWHIDE!
Through the teeming throng of hungry 'Mairkins, silverware and bread rolls in hand, our hostess questions us: "Have you eaten here before? How was your last visit?" We assure her that it was great, so that her manager - a look-alike for Smilin' Bob from the Enzyte commercials with the forced enthusiasm of a motivational speaker and the headset to match - doesn't come pester us at our table.
I have to give pause for a moment about the ethical implications of employers that force all their employees to wear T-shirts that state "I LOVE MY JOB!". Since when did debasing and humiliating service-workers become the norm? First it was Hooters, then Chick-Fil-A and now the Roadhouse. There is a Kafkaesque element at work here, because obviously if they choose to refrain from wearing the coerced "I LOVE MY JOB" uniform, it infers they "don't love their job". Seriously, how many people LOVE their job 365 days a year, let alone when they are forced to emblazon it on their uniform?
The steaks and BBQ come out perfectly, but most of the sides are a bit cafeteria-worthy. Baked beans are sweet & often underdone. Green beans are overcooked & greasy. Mashed potatoes & gravy tastes instant. They do serve baked sweet potatoes, but make sure to ask them to put the margarine or whatever it is on the side if you care about such things. Their meat entrees are fairly priced and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth considering if you are craving prime rib.
The only entree I have disliked was the "Roadkill" - a wad of hamburger described as "chopped steak" with mushrooms & onions in a pool of grease.

You can have a 6 oz steak, potato, side salad for less than $10 and if you go early (they open at 4) you can get the same for $8. This is my favorite place in Grand Junction. You can spend a lot or get by very reasonably. They have a small fried onion for $4 and it feeds 3 to 4. Excellent servers but they are very young, mostly college age. They have mostly booths and only about 6 tables if that bothers you.
NOT a dressy place - they serve a bucket of peanuts and many throw the shells on the floor. They also have great rolls with cinnamon butter that can not be beat (free).
Give this place a try, it is a very good place just go early or you will have quite a wait. (an hour or more) Also has takeout that is the same price and is just as good. -

Big disappoinment after reading other reviews. Had the 6 oz. sirloin dinner. It was served on a baby sized plate along with green beans that seem like they came out of a can. I ordered my steak medium, it was cooked very rare. I sent it back after complaining. The steak was very tough and my jaw still hurts 2 days later from trying to chew it up. Only good thing here, are the hot rolls when you are seated.

This place is recession proof. It's always packed and noisy. I used to go here when my kids were little, so they begged me to go back recently. Nothing has changed, but as far as I know, they have the best steaks in town, which is really sad on some level, but I'll get over it.

This is a typical western-style BBQ establishment. One will see Rattle Snake skins on the wall, spurs, old advertisements etc...
The sweet bun appetizers are soooo good...and the cinnamon butter served makes these a delight! The service is a bit slow as it can get pretty busy here. The steaks are great! Grilled to perfection...
The side dishes are ok...the service is great.
The prices are good.
This is a must visit in Grand Junction, CO. -

Stopped in here while driving through. Grand Junction is the biggest S#&thole town I've ever been too and would never want to go back...but this place was pretty good. The waitresses were very friendly and the manager came over to say hi. He even gave me a free half slab of ribs when I told him it was my first time there. I got a ribeye, medium rare, baked potato (loaded) and vegetables. The veggies looked like they were reheated frozen veggies, no seasoning, butter and were pretty bland. The potato was "loaded" with bacon and cheese. I would have liked the cheese to be melted, but oh well. The steak was the highlight. Perfectly cooked, juicy, big and tasted great.
