Look, I rate local dive bars with 5s because we need them. Ryan's Roadhouse is bigger than a dive…read morebar, but equally needed in its way. Ryan's is where you go when your crowd is too big for the your hole-in-the-wall hometown dive bar or when you're feeling fancy. It is a large space with bar and table seating. Depending on where you enter, you might have to go around the bar to find the host, just keep going. You'll find the seating. If you're in need of a banquet (up to maybe around 100 people?), they also have a well-appointed basement that you can rent, and they will cater your event. Back to the standard bar-restaurant area, they now have digital menus which work well, and they will teach you how to use them. There are specials on the landing page, and then sections for burgers, sandwiches, meals, etc. A wait person will still take your order and handle substitutions, requests, and recommendations. Service is solid, and the food is good. The menu is a bit too broad for it to be great food, but they do a wide variety of things surprisingly well, so you're safe ordering almost anything, though I would question the salad bar, not from Ryan's perspectives, but the guests. Cheers.

They have great specials for game time, like Lions kool-aid, and half off pizzas. You have an obstructed view of at least two TVs. Easy off and back on the freeway. We took a chance with their parking lot being big enough for our rig. It definitely was and could fit a few if ppl with rigs or trailers parked correctly. The food was really good. Entrees come with soup and salad bar. It's small but just fine. I had the Mahi bowl. It was light but good flavors and not over cooked. Hubs had the Not Your Mama's lasagna. Surprisingly it was excellent with that REALLY good garlic toast. Service was quick and efficient. Could not have been better.

There were a few vacant crocks but overall lots of options and multiple salad dressings. There were some veggies- I took some of the green bean casserole and it was a disappoint- not seasoned, not creamy- very dry. I had a piece of fish -it was ok, also a couple medium size fried shrimp. I had a hush puppy that was cooked properly and was good. The dessert area had several slices of cake, Jell-O and puddings. All our beverages were refilled constantly by our server who was exceptionally good-she also cleared away the mountain of plates as they were used and put to the side. There really wasn't ambience. It was a lot of people up and down eating a lot of food. The cost of the buffet for one senior and two adults was reasonable. I personally would not return there as I really didn't enjoy the food. 3 stars for great customer service!

Room for improvement…read more Came here a couple months ago and am thinking of going back soon but hoping for a better experience! The service was very friendly and efficient so there are zero complaints there, they are killing it on that end! The inside of the building could definitely use a bit of a touch up, definitely looks a little outdated in areas and could use a pop of color. The main improvement I think is an easy but needed one though is the freshness of the food. I'm not sure what their protocols are for how long things can sit on the buffet line before being replaced with fresh food but my food wasn't the most fresh. I was there during peak service time too. (5:30-6pm) Overall, I will likely be coming back because American food buffets are practically non existent at this point in Michigan, but I would hope for more fresh, hot food.

The KBBQ ribs/ steak is new and so on par with what I was craving the other day. There's tons and tons of seating, and they can accommodate parties.

The lighting is dim, but I don't find that to be a bad thing. You will eat lots and eat good here. The waitstaff are prompt to seat you, refill your drinks, and get you your bill as soon as you ask.
