| - It has been almost 5 years since my last review on Yelp. Honestly, life and business have gotten in the way and writing reviews has been less of a priority. That being said, I feel like I need to write a wrong (see what I did there?)! And so, I have come out of retirement!
My wife and I celebrated our 4th anniversary today. I wanted to go somewhere a bit closer to home, and we had discovered that there was a restaurant in the same building as our local farmer's market, so it seemed like a natural choice. It wasn't until after making the reservation that we saw reviews that were less than spectacular, including reviews on Yelp. We almost canceled, but decided to take our chances. Boy, are we are glad we did.
The ambience was actually much nicer than I expected. Beautiful wood tables and great accents adorn a wonderful and comfortable room. Our server, Chris, was fantastic from the start. But at the end of the day, I like to eat food and drink beer (preferably draught beer). The beer on tap was a great selection of local craft from Big Rock and Village. I ordered a dark IPA and it was excellent.
We noticed that the menu differed slightly from the website and was specific for the day. For our appetizer, we ordered lamb meatballs and BBQ chicken flat bread. Both were absolutely fantastic. I am especially partial to ordering lamb, so it could be said that I know my lamb. And these meatballs were excellent.
For our entree we both ordered the bison burger. Hands down the best bison burger I've ever had and easily near the top of best burgers of any kind.
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, we will be coming back to Symons Roadhouse again, and again, and again.
If I can make one suggestion to the restaurant, just to nitpick, it would be to have more non-pork options. Other than that, I highly recommend making this your next meal. And now, back to retirement!
