Roadrunner Restaurant -- Definitely Worth the Trip! We've been supporting Roadrunner for a couple of months now, and I have to say--there is SO much to do here for everyone! They have bull riding, live music, line dancing, and more. The whole place is set up like an old Western ranch, complete with a gift shop, a HUGE dining area and bar, plus an outdoor patio bar with misters and swamp coolers. And there's bull riding, Waylon's, and plenty more to explore! Now for the most important part--the FOOD! Every plate that comes out of that kitchen is packed with deliciousness. I absolutely LOVE the quesadillas! Their burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. And wait...there's MORE--they serve breakfast, too! And yes, it's yummy! I truly can't say enough good things about the employees and owners. They are wonderful, welcoming, and make you feel right at home. The crowd can be a little different depending on the day, but that's part of what makes Roadrunner so much fun. There really is something for everyone. If you haven't checked out Roadrunner yet, GO! It's absolutely worth the trip to New River and it's super convenient--just off I-17. Good food. Good people. Good music. Good times. What more could you ask for? read more

What a joke! My husband and I got tickets for Bull riding for last night. Got to the restaurant only to be told Bull riding wouldn't happen until after 8:30! This was at 5:30! They also claim to be "Family Friendly!" I wouldn't take a child in that place EVER. It was full of rough bikers and other sketchy people. The vibe was horrible! We ate a quick bite and got the heck out of there! We will never be back Oh, the tickets we had purchased never got used, so you can consider that our donation to a crummy place I will always drive past without a second thought!! If I could give -0, I would have!! They also need to post times for activities so everyone can arrive accordingly. It doesn't matter to us, cause we are one and done!! read more

The food here is very good. The staff is always friendly and provides great service. Saturday nights have live bull riding and a band plenty of space and lots of fun and and entertainment. read more

Went to Roadrunner for dinner today and boy were we disappointed with the changes. First there were 2 guys at the door who said we couldn't eat on the patio unless we wanted to pay. We've never not eaten on the patio so obviously things have changed since we were there last. Not only didn't we have to pay to sit on the patio before but there was live music on the patio to enjoy for free. We were taking guests from out of town for dinner and the patio is the fun part we wanted them to see. Anyway, it gets worse. So they don't have waitstaff anymore and you have to go up to the kitchen window to order. You get paper plates and plastic forks and knives now instead of the real stuff. The menu is limited in that you can't order proper entrees. It's basically only bar food that's available. Admittedly, we haven't been there for a long time but we won't bother going back. It's become a money grab that we just simply won't support. And because I haven't complained enough, when we walked in the guy asks me for my ID. I laughed thinking he was kidding. I'm 74 and my husband is 76. He said "I'm not kidding a bit". So silly. read more

This place is amazing. We were here on 9/3/26 for a bachelor party - heard about their Thursday Bull Riding and thought it sounded fun. Our entire group is completely foreign to Bull Riding & that culture. This was - by far - the highlight of our trip so far. Every single person that we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and so helpful. We did not order any food so I can't comment on that - but I would 100% recommend this place to absolutely anyone. Thank you for a great night! read more

Stopped in on way home from day trip. Walked in and immediately headed out back for outside bar. Wesley greeted our group with a smile and cold water. Ordered beers and they followed within a minute. This guy was fast! Ordered onion rings and cheese curds and listened to karaoke for a nice entertaining evening. Attentive service. Cold beer. Great company and Fun entertainment. And so much fun! read more

To anyone wanting to try roadrunner, the customer service is probably the worst I've ever had in my life, and it all started with the lady taking "cash only" and the two bouncers at the front gate. We wanted to try this for date night, they charge you a 10$ cash only entry fee per person. I get it, but the way they demanded and talked with such disrespect to me and my husband as the first interaction of our night, put us both off. & I wish we would have turned around then! I then go to the atm and get cash. Come back pay to get in, & we say " let's not let that rude interaction" ruin our night. We order food, and two drinks, lemonade and Powerade. We don't drink so we were merely there for the good vibes and to spend time at a fun country bar for date night. We talk for a bit and decide to go. There is ONE way in and ONE way out. We're waiting to walk out and my husband slips through the crowd of people. He's carrying his lemonade. LEMONADE! the lady at the door is SCREAMING at him that he can't take his drink over and over at him. Literally screaming, maybe she should have got up off her chair to talk to him like a normal human being with respect. He can't hear and so the bouncer grabs his shirt and rips the drink out of his hand. Completely handled so POORLY. You can talk to people with respect and you can handle situations WITHOUT laying a hand on someone. Would never go here again. The ticket lady and the bouncers should be ashamed of the disrespect and customer service they had. CLOWNS! read more

Meagan and Mickey ( Mickie) are absolutely awesome. Saturday afternoon drinks and vittles at the Roadrunner. Great food. Cold drinks, but the the stars of the afternoon were M&M.

Horrible, horrible and horrible it was horrible before I can't imagine how it is now, the last time we went there for breakfast there was one other couple in there too, ordered the biggest baddest one I can't remember the name I think it was called the cowboy breakfast, took our order and ten minutes later came back with toast and laughed telling us she forgot to give the cooks the order and it will be another 10 minutes oh well I can wait. Was it worth the wait no, no and no meat was overcooked and not the highest quality, it just wasn't a good breakfast and the reason we will never eat or visit their establishment again especially after reading the recent reviews. read more

If you are looking for a true Arizona desert experience, definitely check this place out. Good food, great variety of cold drinks, live music, and that authentic western atmosphere that's getting harder to find these days. The patio, bull riding, dancing and friendly crowd makes it feel like one big local hangout. Whether you're stopping in after a ride or just wanting a fun night out, this place always delivers good vibes and memorable times. read more

This place is great. we went on kids night and it was a blast. They had all kinds of activities for kids and almost everything was free. Even the stuff that costs was a good price like face painting. And shout out to those people. They were super nice. The food was pretty good and a decent price. Drinks were decent too. Overall, just a good time read more

This place has a good balance of inside and outside. Outside you have live music and bull riding. And the ambience outside isn't too loud. You can talk with each other. And size is great. They got some smaller tables and it's not as loud. The service here is great. They're always making sure you got what you need. Bartenders are great they're fast making sure you get your drink without having to wait too long. So if you want a good country bar to go to up in the river. This is the place to go. read more

If you're riding and looking for a hangout this is good.. food typical bar food. Fun for biker groups, open air is nice but inside is dark

Super cool spot to watch some live bull riding. You can buy tickets online or in person. You do need cash going in person or there's an atm but they charge u a fee. They do have a fire pit going. They also have live music. Also you must have an ID. If you don't or are underage they will not let you drink. read more

Came to this place for a motorcycle event and had a blast. The drinks were ice cold and a good price. We had shared a burger and it was delicious too. Super fun to sit outside with the tvs. The flies were a problem but they had fans trying to help it out. Spent like three hours there just hanging out, drinking, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Great place to stop for an easy ride. read more

Limited table service, plastic plates, disposable utensils. Rough and rustic environment and clientele. Burgers and sandwiches were good, fries and onion rings were good. If you're not into the bull riding, loud, drinking scene, come on Sunday afternoon, but even then no guarantees. read more

Found this place on our route home. Omg!!! Amazing!! Great service and food. This place should be packed but it's not because it's tucked away in the mountains! If you have ANY route off the 17 freeway, create a stop for this place! You won't be disappointed. read more

We were on our way home from Cottonwood/Jerome and decided to stop for lunch here on the recommendation of some friends we were traveling with. I regret not taking pictures as it was a 'western' feel (tired from the long weekend and drive). Great choice for a Very casual meal. Had an AZ Cheesesteak with onion rings and my wife had a burger with fries! Both VERY tasty and done the way we ordered (I do not do peppers). Band playing on the patio mid day on Sunday. There is bull riding on the weekend. The kind of place you take an out of town guest or just when you are in the mood to be western! Only downside we had was that they no longer did table service for just food, you had to order at a window and it was brought out to you. Pre Covid there was table service..... read more

Great Thursday night Prime Rib special! $18.99 for PR, mashed potatoes and corn. Great cut and perfect Medium rare. Service was fantastic and attentive. Only issue here; as it's always been, are weak drinks but on second ordered a double but not a place I'd come to for drinks as not a real beer drinker. read more

The breakfast was very good and the portions large! The service was nice and the ambience. Very low key bar, but family oriented. It was our first time here and was recommended by our hosts of the Airbnb we were staying at. We would return when visiting again! read more

We stopped at this place spontaneously on our way from Phoenix to Sedona, and it was perfect. We loved the authentic roadside atmosphere, and found the service and food to be very good. A fun place! My onion rings were perfect. Would definitely go back again. read more

Came to visit a friend who lives in Phoenix back in January and was taken out to Roadrunner's on a Saturday night as a spur of the moment idea. WOW! What an amazing experience I had is the first thing I have to say about this place. It has been 6 months now since I visited and this night is something I still reminisce about. Every Saturday, Roadrunner's has REAL bull riding that you can attend for only $10 and to say it was completely worth it would be an understatement. The bull riding goes on for a couple hours with an intermission in between. During the intermission my friend and I filled up on more drinks, warmed up at the huge fire pit, and danced near the stage where they had a live band playing music. It was amazing to see how everyone was square dancing, two stepping, and just having a great time. It made the experience that much more enjoyable. As for the restaurant itself, unfortunately I never got to try the food but the Long Island that I ordered was good! I'm from Los Angeles so to say it can be a culture shock for some of us Angelenos would be true. However, I love the country, including music and vibes so this place made me feel like I got the whole experience. Not only that but I find this a perfect place to meet people! Everyone was very friendly; some people even taught me how to two-step LOL! I'm very glad my friend took me here and I am so waiting for the day that I can come visit again! read more

The change in the Cowboy Rolls is a horrible choice! For years we loved to visit the restaurant /bar for its relaxed atmosphere and guality food. Unfortunately the food is going downhill for the owners to save money. Bad choice Road Runner! read more

This is a place for a good time. Be patient. Service is slow but the bull riding/rodeo is a blast to watch, great pricing, Solid food. Ambiance is country western roadhouse. Super fun. read more

Fun atmosphere, but the security staff acted unfairly and showed discriminatory behavior. I brought my brother and his friends (visiting from out of town) to see the rodeo. One of them forgot his ID, so we were denied entry--understandable. But while we were turned away, children were let in... Later, my friend returned with his valid U.S. Passport, yet security said he could come in but still couldn't buy a drink because it wasn't a driver's license. That's simply incorrect--passports are valid, government-issued ID, and accepted under Arizona law. My friend is Black, and the way he was treated felt discriminatory. He was excited to experience the rodeo--his first time--but left feeling unwelcome. We paid full cover, missed half the show, and he couldn't even enjoy a drink with the rest of us. Really disappointing experience. read more

Good food, fun place! Great bands and bull riding! What more could you want? We've had two private functions here, and they did a really nice job for us. We've also eaten from the regular menu and enjoyed the food. The staff is great as well. read more

Best darn sweet potato fries north of the Mississippi!!! Three cactus' to the right and a quick left!

The food, booze, and staff is high quality. The people that serve you are salt of the earth kinda people and hilarious as well. My beautiful wife and I stop there whenever we are going out of town or coming back in. It's definitely worth the while. read more

Came here for a bull riding event this weekend. What a fun crowd. Plenty of space for everyone and plenty of Bars too. They had bars set up right before you to the show. An outside full bar and one inside to access! Sweet plenty of ways to get hydrated. I like it. Plus, hosting such huge events it is a good way to elevate the long lines. The food Menu was a pretty basic bar. Burgers, chicken tenders and fries etc. We shared a burger and fries! Just a little snack it was good. The fries were crispy. Considering how busy they were food didn't take much time. The stars are for the layout, the nice Bartenders, and the Show! Fun times watching Bull RIding!!!! I shall return! read more

Well, is a country kitchen so the food is too filling and as you can see... lots of potatoes. Service is good. If you decide to sit outside the patio/open area dining, people SMOKES and VAPE so be prepare to be the secondhand 'inhaler'. Sigh* that says I won't go back to that place again. read more
