| - Quick Review: Good food, good drinks, big TV's, open 24 hours. What more can you ask for? Oh, don't forget the corn bread muffins.
No reviews yet? Well, I'll start. Road Runner's is actually several different restaurant operating under the same roof. During the day, it's a casual family restaurant, serving western-themed American fare at moderate prices. During weekends, it's a sports bar. After 10 pm, it's a lounge populated primarily by twenty-somethings and the occasional video poker player. Despite its identity crisis, it does all of these things pretty damn well. The food is very, very good. The complimentary corn bread muffins that they serve during dinner are so good they could probably charge for them (but I hope they never do). The BBQ Tri Tips are my personal favorite, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
The late night menu is more limited. It's your typical bar food - burgers, nachos, quesidillas, but it also includes breakfast. Speaking of late night, the crowd can be very unpredictable at Road Runner's after 10 pm. You never quite know who's going to show up. It can be hotel employees, slackers, rockers, punkers, emo's, jocks, frat boys, preppies, losers, winners, Jets, Sharks. I've pretty much seen them all there. You can go to Roadrunner's for almost any occasion and come out pretty satisfied.
Update: Downgraded from 4 stars to 3 stars. Not sure what's going on with Road Runner. The quality of their food has definitely dipped in the past year or two. It's definitely not as tasty as before.
