We’re the oldest operating restaurant lounge in the area – reopening legally in 1934 after prohibition.

We feature movie memorabilia, hundreds of miniature stagecoaches, antique swords and other historic artifacts. Kitchen hours are Friday 4 to 9 p.m. and weekends 1 to 7 p.m. There is also a lounge and game room open daily. Enjoy a chicken buffet on Sundays as well as burgers, BBQ, and steaks plus other American classics the other days of operation. The beer, wine, and cocktail lists are always available.

And there’s also a rumor that The Road House is haunted – check out our website or this article and you decide!
