Front of restaurant

We went for NYE. Great experience, everyone was so friendly and the restaurant was packed. Special shout out to Sarah & Grace for making our evening exceptional. Food was amazing, like always. Great environment, very festive. I definitely recommend A+++!

Brunch menu
Tamara F.

I finally got a chance to drop in for brunch. Glad it's back. I come here every couple of months for dinner so it was nice to try the brunch menu. Even though I didn't have anything egg-based, I did enjoy my sandwich and soup. The friends that joined me enjoyed their food as well. Usually it's always an excellent service experience. Unfortunately, this time I think the server that we had was abrupt and it felt like we were bothering him. It's unfortunate because before I've always had a good server experience here, so I was a little thrown by it. We had to wave him down for water refills, for a second pop, etc. It wasn't that busy while we were there so I was a little surprised he just didn't stop by the table and just pour more water or ask if anyone wanted another pop. It felt like barebones service. I was also surprised that he did not serve the biscuits that they usually do at the beginning of the meals. I originally just assumed it was because we were at brunch so they didn't serve them so I didn't bother asking. But now I see a review from someone else that they did get the biscuits at brunch! So that's a little disappointing because they are delicious. This is a nice place for small groups, six or less fit comfortably at their larger tables. I have been here previously with a very large group and they put tables together so it worked as well. Sunday afternoon was also a great time to go because while there were people there it wasn't overly crowded so it was easy to hear each other at the table. I'll still continue to visit Roadside. While the service is hit or miss, the food is consistently delicious. I love their food.

Entrance in the back ?  (Not facing Telegraph).

My wife stopped for a couple of drinks and an appetizer on a Friday night. The wait for a table was about an hour in the dining area. We were able to get a table on the covered and heated patio to avoid the wait. We could have also chosen to eat at the bar. We started with a drink. My wife had the Blueberry martini, which she really enjoyed. It was like a frozen drink. The vodka and lemonade took off the tart/sweet of the blueberry. We chose the brussel sprouts for our appetizers which were very good. They are on the better side of this popular appetizer. I would not say the brussels are different, but they are better in my opinion. We finished with cups of the tomato-basil soup, which were good. This is our third time here, and is one of my wife's faves. The atmosphere is upscale bistro. It is very cute inside. The crowd is older and more on the businessy side. I appreciate the menu is on the shorter side. The portions tend to the smaller side, which I appreciate. The service has been attentive and excellent every visit.

Shrimp and Grits
Alicia S.

I was happy to see that brunch had returned after a long absence at Roadside B&G. I missed the free breakfast biscuits and was glad that they were good as they used to be. I had the shrimp and grits and it was a 3.5 out of 5. The shrimp was good but the grits could have been a bit more creamy and better seasoned. Our server was nice but I kind of expected my daughter's kids meal to be free after finding a fruit fly in her fruit but it was not; we simply got a new fruit bowl.

Walleye special
Janice J.

We found this gem based on my sister's recommendations of restaurants in the area. We were looking for a nice restaurant for an impromptu anniversary dinner and Roadside fit the bill. My husband enjoyed the walleye special and I loved the whitefish entree. We both ordered side salads and had more than enough. Everything was very tasty and served in a timely fashion with friendly staff. We did sit outside on the patio which is covered and surrounded by tall grass. We did not see any of the traffic and truthfully the road noice is like a dull hum until a hot rod or large dump truck goes by. (Remember Roadside is in the name. )My husband and I could easily hold a conversation.

Stopped here on a Saturday night after visiting at St Joseph's hospital (it was a little before 10). We were tired & hungry and so glad to find a decent place open until 11. When we pulled into the lot, there were still quite a bit of cars there. Of course at the time we arrived, got seated right away, though I suspect during peak hours there would be quite a wait. I got the sangria - it wasn't bad. They served us 1 biscuit apiece (they were good & I wished for a 2nd one). My husband had the fish & chips and I had the chicken with honey, green beans & rosemary truffle fries (those were good!). Both dishes a solid 4. Service was very good too Atmosphere was fun - industrial space- cement block walls, exposed pipes on ceiling & lots of sleek stainless steel. And everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Good find!

Panko chicken cutlet ($23)
Brittany H.

After living near this restaurant for three years, I finally came in for a date night. My boyfriend and I arrived on a Friday night near 7 PM, thinking we were going to have to wait a while for a seat but we were sat immediately. Amanda D was our server and was phenomenal. She was patient with me, as I was unsure what I wanted to eat since a few things caught my eye. With my meal, I had a porter beer while my SO had an IPA. Both beers were around $7 or $8. He ordered a small Caesar, which was enough for both of us to share. He was asked if he would like anchovies on the salad, to which he said yes. My boyfriend stayed the anchovies really brought out the flavor and was glad to have the salad with anchovies. He also ordered the buffalo shrimp and short rib taco appetizers as his entree. The shrimp was jumbo and very Buffalo-flavored. They were good, but I could make them at home and would probably not order again. I didn't try the tacos but he stated they were very good. I ordered the panko chicken cutlet and loved it. My only suggestion would be to include a side soup or salad instead of having it be an additional cost. The dinner was over after an hour and for a Friday night, I think prompt and efficient service is a win in itself. I would like to go back and have the blackened shrimp taco bowl.

Can they accommodate seafood and peanut allergies?

I'm not sure about that. Probably contact the restaurant directly.

I did some research on the magic Yelp machine, and The Daily Diner had that met, and also had great ratings. It's a cute place inside, relatively small, but you're greeted right away with a friendly greeting. They have a solid normal menu and specials on the board (bacon stuffed pancakes? I can't say I wasn't tempted). Service is really solid and the food came out quickly. I decided on the corned beef hash with 3 eggs - it was a whole can of hash! Needless to say that portions are very generous, bordering on huge. The food was delicious, and we'll be back when we're in the area. They have the standards and some surprises at very reasonable prices considering the portion size.

Well, first thing, I almost left: despite having credit card stickers on the door, they have signs saying they only take cash. That did not please me, but I checked & saw I did have money, so I decided to stay. The second thing that almost made me leave was that the place smelled like CIGARETTES. It has been illegal to smoke in restaurants for at least a decade, so I don't know why this noxious smell filled the tiny restaurant. Still, I stayed because I was hungry, and I was enjoying the bantering between the staff and a couple regulars. I ordered the spinach & feta omelette with hash browns & rye toast. It was fine, but nothing special or different from any other spinach & feta omelette I've had. But, the servers were courteous, and the service was good.

I was visiting from out-of-town with some friends. It was late at night and snowing. The roads were…read morebad and we were hungry after a long day. Not too many options available. It was pretty much this or eat microwaved package meals from the convenience market at the hotel. Well, it was absolutely worth braving the elements for Valentino's. 24-hour places are getting increasingly difficult to find these days, and often the only thing they have going for them is that they're open at the weird hour you want food. But that's not at all the case here! The restaurant was clean and well lit with fast and friendly service. We all ended up ordering breakfast food that ended up being among the best I've had at any hour. And when so many menus lately have been giving me sticker shock, the prices seemed downright cheap. Not sure when I'll be back in the area, but I'll definitely want to return if I do. I wish I had a place like this close to home.

I paid extra for fries with my burger and didn't receive them. I also paid for extra sauce cups…read morethat were never given. The food itself tasted terrible, so even if everything had arrived, it wouldn't have helped much. On top of that, the waitresses were unprofessional and lacked basic courtesy--definitely not the kind of service you expect when you're paying full price. Charging for refills on top of all this is wild. Overall, bad food, sloppy service, and nickel-and-diming customers. I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. kathy as a manager . DO BETTER .

Who knew it would be so hard to find a sit down restaurants around town at 11PM at night. This…read moreplace is excellent - they close at Midnight 6 days a week! Nice! The restaurant was very clean upon entering and there were a few patrons inside. Some were a little intoxicated from the local bar scene, but they weren't annoying. The waitress was very friendly and took our order fairly quickly. She was busy taking orders at the drive through and taking care of people inside - they only had 1 waitress. We did get one soda refill, one more would have been nice..., The food was good. There is a Coney Special on the sign for $1.88, but the restaurant has a coney called the Coney Special, so be careful with that. The Coney Special on the menu is $4, but it did have a lot of chili on top. The ground beef around the hot dog was very wet and made the bun very soggy. It was ordered without onion. One person in our group ordered the Chicken Gyro Pita. She said it was good and she really liked the cucumber sauce. It did have a lot of lettuce, which she said added to the taste of the pita. She added a side of chili cheese fries, and and said those were good as well. The Club Sandwich is pretty large here. It had large hunks of turkey and ham on it. The bacon was a little chewy and didn't have a ton of flavor. All in all it was a good sandwich. I ordered the fish and chips. The fries were good - they had a nice crisp and tasted fine. The fish was a little soggy and did not taste the best. That is probably my fault for ordering fish after 11PM... Luckily they gave me a big cup of tarter, which helped quite a bit. M1 Grill does charge a fee for using a credit or debit card. I typically have cash on me, but this time I had to use my card. Ugh! I wouldn't hesitate coming here for a late night sit down restaurant - I will just remember to bring cash next time.

The food is excellent, when you can receive it. Long story short, ordered food through Uber. I…read morenever received the food. The order was refused to be remade. Fortunately, I was able to recover the payment through contact with Uber Eats. There was no care to keep a customer on the part of the restaurant. They will not miss my business. Glad to know it. I ordered from another place, the food was not as good as M1; however, they will get my business from now on. Peace.
