They even had a number of plant based items. The dinner came out in a timely manner, was fresh, and presented beautifully. The fruit cups they had were a variety of berries which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was equally as tasty and fresh. My daughter ordered the french toast. The syrup was already poured over it which I didn't like because it was too heavy handed but the flavors in the french toast were wonderful! It was almost like a bread pudding french toast. Delicious. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. What a beautiful little hidden gem this place is!

The hostess told us we needed to wait at the bar until our table was ready. We got to the bar and it was freezing. We were the only ones there. The bar tender had a little space heater to try to survive. We waited for 5 minutes for our hostess, so we went and checked. We ordered the hamburger, salmon, and the chicken pot pie. The food was good, but portions were small. I would not order the pot pie again. It was more like a chicken stew with a puff pastry on top. Not what I was hoping for. The property is nice and interesting.

Solid choice for dinner if you find yourself in the Portola/Blairsden/Graeagle area. I met a couple…read morehigh school friends to catch up a little bit. I've only been here a few times since I now live out of town... but every time I visit, I appreciate the interior - I really like the look! We started with spinach / artichoke dip as an appetizer... thumbs up all around the table on that one. There are actually several appetizers on the menu that look good - it's always tough for me to choose - but if you just wanted to drop by for a happy hour nibble, I'd say most people would be covered. It'd be fair to say that apps are one of their strengths. I had a caesar salad, and it was good! Pretty standard caesar, but I'm amazed that many restaurants manage to screw it up by drowning it in dressing or whatever. None of the common mistakes here - nice fresh, crisp lettuce... good dressing and imo the right amount - not too heavy, not too light. Just right. One of my friends had the Chicken Parm and the other had Shrimp Scampi - both reported goodness! The dishes looked great, but I behaved this time and kept my fork to myself. I had the salmon - one of my "go to" dishes - and it was good as well. Yes... we had dessert! There were several good options, but we decided to share the cookie "mess". Good balance with all ingredients... and for something described as a "mess," it was plated quite well! Definitely high on my list of possibilities when I'm in the area!

It was like 456. I mentioned sign said open. Waitress said - oh he went out and did that early, come back in 5. I did not. As a local, she was no one I recognized. Had a couple friends ask me about The Roadhouse the next day and related the shitty staff experience. Won't return. As I told people - Coyote and Roadhouse maintained two commonalities - location and shitty/rude staff.

Would have 5 stars but my skinny marg was lacking lime and tequila. Little watered down.

There was one person cooking all the food and the other taking the orders and making the coffee. The first day I ordered a BEC sando, French toast and pirates toast. The breakfast sando was really good especially with the fried jalapenos. But the French toast was ok. My husband liked his salmon toast but wished the bread was toasted. On the second day, came back and ordered the Sleepy Pig. On this day they ran out of the pulled pork but gave ham instead. Overall, solid brunch place. Don't forget to order their sugar donuts, it was nice and fluffy and delish!
