5 Star Review by Nate P.

I had a burger and fries, but should have got something else. The burger was nothing special.

Pretty good Burger.

Each visit seems to be an improvement over the last. The interior acoustics are still abysmal. It just occurred to me that the hammered metal ceiling, which is part of the place's charm, may well be a big part of the reason. Although I haven't tried it, I'm told the enclosed patio is much more conducive to quiet conversation.Today I

Consistantly good

OK..., so it's been a while since we've ordered anything other than their burgers, but last night was a special occasion and I went all in on 20 oz medium rare prime, as I was assured that would be no problem. The result was a rather large blob of greyish/brownish meat that was obviously not a freshly sliced baked prime, but somebody

Good food, Expensive

We like the food here, but it's too pricey to visit often.

Huge disappointment!!!!

Sorry I wasted my money there! My husband took me here for my birthday and it was so bad neither of us could choke down the horrible excuse for a steak. The service was friendly, but when our waiter saw we had hardly touched our steaks he didn't care enough to ask if something was wrong with them. So lets talk about the food... The s

no home run

Maybe a single at best. Barely acceptable service combined with a very poor steak equals a does not like... but I will wait on that rating for one more visit. With a near 90% positive rating I am hopeful this was an aberration and will try roadhouse one more time before rating.

Qualified "I like it".

The acoustics have not improved since my last visit. I will return when I'm solo, but not with companions as conversation here is not possible for me due to the noise level.The service seems to have improved. My server today was a young man (James by name) who did a first rate job. I had a Bacon Bleu Cheese Burger with Onion Strings

This was a great place to have dinner. It was very kid friendly, lots of good food for a reasonable price, putt putt golf was fun and they have the BEST bread!

I decided to try BLR because my relatives made it sound great. Neither mine or my wife's meals were very impressive. I think their biggest set back is their bbq sauces. Watermelon sauce was different but I think there are many better options out there. Our service was also slow on this visit. I will try this place again in the future

Great Food & Service

This is a great place for a birthday or celebration; if you can get past the acoustics. We've dined here several times - certainly for consistently good food and a formula management employs to train wait staff to treat guests properly. Show up before the dinner rush and ask to be seated in the fireplace room.

Wow! Food was fantastic. Waitress very good on a busy Saturday. Haven't been that impressed in a long time. Only draw back was it was very loud! VERY loud.

Way too expensive

This place is just an ordinary restaurant like Applebees or Red Robin with very expensive prices. I see this place is always busy and I just don't understand why. The food is just mediocre nothing special. I would rather go to Outback.

We drive through Salem regularly and have been trying every nicer place we could find with reliably poor results. This is the first place I can give a positive review to. We had the filet, tritip salad and bangers and bites. The steak all was tender and tasted great. You get a full meal with salad and sides under $20. I didn't find i

1 Star Review by Carvin S.

I didn't really like the atmosphere - it felt like I was at an Applebee's, only it's not a chain. My waitress was a spunky young girl who seemed nice enough, if a bit insincere. I ordered a veggie burger with sauteed mushrooms, but they served it with sauteed onions. It had taken forever to get the food since it was a particularly bu

havent had a bad meal here

Much better than average for Salem. Its a big place and far from cozy but consistently good food and friendly attentive staff. Great prime rib, good burgers and very good salads.

Not a 'greasy spoon' at all! The dinner rolls are Great! Cloth napkins...usually busy. The watermelon BBQ sauce is different, but I prefer the regular. Bar has several TV's. TriTip is always good. Pork Chops are huge, consider just one if eating alone.
