It is very niche and I am sure will do well with the right people. Now lets get the word out to those that love it. Hope to see you at the 2010 Sturgis Rally.

Police everywhere, which doesn't make everyone feel comfortable (you'd think that would stop the fights).. more employees than patrons both times I've been there. Bouncers look like roid heads and they're pushy. Feels like a singles bar but it's all men.. so we felt like pieces of meat when we walked in.

I have had good experiences at Road House, but that doesn't mean everyone will. This is a forum where everyone can share their experiences, good or bad. Be happy :) Gina, you need to cool off.

I like the roadhouse concept. I think it is great. I think the place looks great too and like what they have done with it. The food has been quite good except I had hoped the bbq would be more authentic to fit the roadhouse image. I have noticed that fight nights tend to draw an unsavory bunch and mainly guys. I think the music lineup has been excellent and draws a better crowd. My comment above just seemed to sum things up a bit quicker. Gina, I did not post to attack anyone’s character here.

It is normal for people to defend thier lovers when it seems as though they are being attacked. I hope you soothe his toothaches and other aches as well as you fight his battles.

I haven't noticed any smoke flavor on the brisket or the ribs. I really hope it gets good and i would be there all the time. Do you think they are actually smoking meats on-site?

I have had food from there on 3 different occasions and it was pretty bad all 3 times, although the wings I sampled were really good. I found the pulled pork totally dry and tasteless like it had been sitting there all day, which I think it was because right after I got mine I saw someone walk by behind the bar with a full pork shoulder on a platter and it looked awesome, so I think I just had had bad timing and got scraps from the last batch. I also had the brisket sandwich and the flavor was not bad, not great, but not bad, but it was cut really thick, like 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. It just made it overwhelming after a while, and I love brisket. Last time I had pizza, and it too was bland and tasteless except every once in a while I would get an overpowering taste of the sauce which seemed way over seasoned. I was OK cold the next day though. I have been giving them multiple chances because I love good BBQ and it takes a lot to get it right, so I will give them another try in a few weeks, but I have been mostly underwhelmed so far. I just wish they would have kept the brewery. I was there first paying customer.

I always call customer service at places when I have great service or great food - I'm a positive-reinforcement type. I agree that there things that need to be worked on, but my first experience was a thumbs up! Have you been there yet?
