Incredible smoked meat dishes and the best brisket I’ve had so far. The mac and cheese was also outstanding. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy some truly delicious meat.

We had dinner at the Buckeye Roadhouse and it was very good. We had a reservation and was seated immediately. Water and drinks came very quickly. The waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the dinner selection. Everyone committed on how good the food was. Again it been quite a while since I've had extraordinary service. For all the positives the only flaw is parking. Not a lot of space on site, there is a lot across the street. There were several cS parked on the berm of the highway. But overall, I would have zero hesitation eating here again.

Our first time at the Buckeye Roadhouse was a wonderful experience... Food was delicious! Service was attentive. Food was served in a timely manner. Oysters Bingo are fantastic! Similar to Oysters Rockefeller, these are a notch up in my opinion... Sorry my picture of the oysters was after they were eaten. They were so good I forgot to take a before picture!

I have only been there twice, but they are two of the highest quality, most memorable meals I have ever had. The service has been top-tier, the seats and tables are comfortable, the booths are thoroughly gangster, and the dessert menu is off the chain. Now that they are serving brunch, I can see myself traveling up there from Half Moon Bay at least once a month. It is so darn good. I must ask what the heck you are doing reading this review when you could be eating at the Buckeye Roadhouse?

Charming Spot with Great Vibes and Tasty Food! We stopped by Buckeye Roadhouse without a reservation and were lucky to get a seat in the lounge/bar area — and honestly, it was perfect! The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, with a touch of historic charm. The old building has so much character, and the food was delicious. From the decor to the service, everything felt thoughtfully put together. Even without a table in the main dining room, we had a great experience.

Incredible restaurant with an old school vibe. Classic American comfort food done at a high level. Very popular so i do recommend reservations. Great experience.

Great quality consistent dishes! Okay, wine by the glass selection. Bottle wine starts at around $100. Good services and locally known for several decades. Living wage 4% charges. We adjusted our tips accordingly.

I was really surprised by the amazing hospitality and quality of the food at Buckeye Roadhouse. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for traditional American cuisine. Try the onion rings!
