Jun 15, 2012 prime rib chili on Mondays
The prime rib chili on Mondays with the house rolls is one of the best inexpensive meals in town. Tasty, meaty, not sweet, just zippy enough. There are many other good things on the menu--could easily make a meal on the buffalo chicken wings, and...More

Jun 12, 2012 Excellent Tri-Tip Sandwich
I'm not from Salem, but have visited friends there often and have had lunch at the Best Little Roadhouse several times. The restaurant is quite large with different rooms available: a main dining room, a lounge area and a kind of sun room which is...More

May 24, 2012 Delicious pulled pork sandwiches
Had the most delicious pulled pork sandwich ever. Lots of pork on a hoagie bun, with cole slaw spread on top of the pork. Cheese and tomato topped that. It was "melt in your mouth delicious". The building has a lot of ambiance, very comfortable...More

May 7, 2012 Hype for status
The food is decent, don't get me wrong... But the prices are incredibly inflated for what the actual product is. The restaurant has an air of status and snobbery - both the clientele and waitstaff. I don't feel "trendy" (aka rich with weekly salon-trip hair)...More

Lunch here is enough for a whole day. The dinner rolls are super, servings are definitely generous. The staff are always friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable.

Apr 1, 2012 best steak in Salem
Great food, great staff. I always order a sirloin with a sweet potato. The dining room is very noisy, but not so bad in patio seating.

Mar 24, 2012 Martini Thursdays are the best!
1st off, this IS NOT a chain restaurant. This is locally owned. 2ndly, I have been eating here for 5 years, sometimes 2-3 times a week, because their happy hour food is still $3.00 and made fresh for you. Their pork bbq ribs are "a...More

Mar 10, 2012 Jovial atmosphere and service, very good food.
Would have given it an excellent rating if they had more fresh, local ingredients in their menu. The friendly service and Salmon Salads keep bringing us back!!

Mar 2, 2012 Best ribs in Salem!
I have gone to every place in Salem that offers ribs, and the Best Little Roadhouse is by far the best. The meat literally falls off the bone and their watermelon BBQ sauce is incredibly. Its sweet with a kick of spicy and compliments the...More

Feb 25, 2012 This place is always packed
There is a reason you have to wait to get a table. Good food, great service and lots going on. Because there is so much activity at Best Little Roadhouse it actually is quite private. The fries and rolls are great and the refills on...More

Feb 21, 2012 for everyone!
Our family has a variety of appetites, some who eat only fish and some steak lovers, and we all love a meal here. The service is quite good while being non-intrusive. My favorite is the Salmon Caesar Salad and Garlic Potato Mashers. In cooler weather...More

Soft, rich homemade rolls. Salad that is perfectly chilled and topped with tomatoes and bacon. Baked sweet potato with butter and brown sugar. And then there are the entrees....

Feb 20, 2012 My Favorite Salem Restaurant
The Roadhouse is everything you want in a casual restaurant! The staff is friendly (they actually remember you, and give great service!) the atmosphere is fun and encourages conversation, and the menu is varied. There are many choices that transition easily from lunch to dinner....More

Jan 16, 2012 Yummmm, Prime Rib
Always a good place to eat. You can tell by the parking lot, it's hard to find a place to put your car. The salads are the bomb! The rolls are the BEST! I LOVE the Prime Rib. The soups are always good (try the...More

Aug 5, 2011 Average Chain Restaurant Food
It's like Outback or any other chain steakhouse. The food is good but it's coming off an assembly line. There's nothing special or creative about it. Don't know why it's ranked #10.

It's not cheap, but so worth it! I'm sure you can get good deals but I wouldn't know since we always go for nice cuts of steak. The food is delicious, the portions generous, staff so friendly and attentive, and the longest wait we've had...More
