| - It was Super Bowl evening and I thought it would be perfect to avoid the evening crowd at the Roadhouse! Little to no traffic and I was right, plenty of parking at the restaurant. My wife ordered the 8oz sirloin and it was delectable, grilled perfectly, tender and delicious. I ordered a half rack of ribs as I have had them before and they were always fabulous. It didn't work out that way however. They were burned black and dry and chewy. I took one bite and returned them, You get 2 sides with your meal, the wife had a loaded baked potato which she said was "really really nice", and I ordered the steak fries, which were just OK. Our second side was the house salad, cold, crisp fresh lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheddar, croutons, and chopped hard boiled eggs, a truly lovely salad! The waiter agreed with me that the ribs were burnt and I wonder why he didn't do anything about it before he served them. I had to wait almost half an hour for it's replacement and by then the wife had finished eating and I had lost my appetite. As usual it was very very loud with the three major sources of noise being generated, the guests, the staff singing Happy Birthday and the overhead sound system playing loud music. Several staff members apologized for the ribs and I was told I wouldn't be charged for them. They even offered to send a new side along with the new boxed ribs, I declined. There was a bucket of fresh tasting large peanuts on the table which I am sure helped cut my appetite in absence of my ribs. We will probably return again some time in the future to give them another chance.
