We came here after a full day at Wild Waves and boy were we hungry! We like the fact they bring their rolls with honey butter when you are seated - yea! We devoured the 4 sweet rolls and moved to peanuts. Ordered a porterhouse...and a BLT. The BLT was a good portion with thick bacon - yum! Our steak, porterhouse, was a little underwhelming for our liking. The temp was perfect, MR, wasn’t the issue. When we think porterhouse, we think a nice thick steak. What came out was a thin, 1/2” thick, piece of meat. Don’t get me wrong, the seasoning was good, but the look of the steak looked like it was in a diet. We wanted a nice thick juicy steak. Instead we got a thin and not so juicy porterhouse steak. I almost want to say we were served a sirloin steak. We were hungry and didn’t want to complain as we had a long drive back to PDX. Good food, but I doubt I’ll go back due to the underwhelming porterhouse steaks. Service was great by the way. Our sides were string fries and salad. The fires were a little chewy, not fresh. You could tell the fries have been sitting under a heat lamp due to the chewiness and f them. Wish they were fresh and crisp. Again, we were hungry spending all day in the water.More

Cold beer, peanuts and hot bread started the evening. Large salad was great. Kids meals were eaten up quickly. Waitress was attentive and helpful.

Good food, ok service. But not enforcing COVID restrictions!!!! There were multiple people up & walking around without ANY TYPE OF FACE COVERING!! Staff is not telling patrons to wear face covering when getting up from their table!! They sure didn't say anything to us!!

Nice local restaraunt that specializes in steaks but does have a nice offering of seafood and sandwiches. Try the crawfish chowder or sliders.

The first time we went, the service was horrible. We were forgotten so many times. Had to hail down our server more than once. Didnt realize we had to get our own bowl of peanuts. We asked about them and were told we could get...our own by the door. REALLY! The second time we went was on our birthdays (we are a day apart). We told our server and he made no attempt to acknowledge it. Very dissapointing.More

The Renton location is so much better than the Federal Way location. The Renton location always gives us hot, fresh yeast rolls when we first sit down at the table. The Federal Way location did not, and when we saw that they did have some,...no one brought them to our table so we had to go up and get them ourselves. They were also slightly overbaked. The pulled pork sandwich I typically get at Renton is filled full with plenty of fries. The portion I received at Federal Way was very skimpy on the pork and I only received about 10 fries.More

Came in for our birthdays and ordered ribeye. The steaks were thin and non impressive. Our server was sitting in the bar for quite a while as well. We kept waiting on him to bring our check. This is the second time we have been...here and we didnt learn our lesson the first time. Shame on us. We wont be coming back.More

Not fancy, but the steaks are pretty good and the service is friendly. A lot of “comfort food” type menu. Don’t expect to eat low-cal, but if that’s not a concern, the rolls are delish.

This place is a must visit. It is casual dining with peanut shells on the floor and up beat atmosphere. They have great steaks and ribs and fabulous all you can eat yeast rolls. It is great for casual night out together, family dinner and...great for groups.More

We frequent another Roadhouse restaurant while traveling and thought we'd give this one a try based on the good reviews. It was a Saturday night, and not too busy but the service was slow. The food was good, not great. The nice thing is that...they ask you to cut into your steak to ensure it's cooked to satisfaction. Mine was not, but immediately remedied. It's priced like other expensive steakhouses, but the servings are not as big. It was a good meal, but probably will not be returning if given another steakhouse option.More

I love BBQ and this place does a good job. The staff are very friendly, the place is clean. It does not seem crowded for lunch. The food is very good and we will stop by again when in the area.

Service is so friendly and they offer a huge menu with tons of options. Huge salads, fun burgers, and delicious steaks. The rolls and peanuts to throw on the floor are fabulous! Did not do, but happy hour looks terrific!
