We were in Rye for a show and saw an advertisement for the French onion soup on Instagram. We were sold. We came for the soup but LOVED every dish. The soup was delicious and isn't on the regular menu but instead a special item. We tried the Cuban sandwich and the Steak sandwich both with the sweet potato fries. The sandwiches and fries were delicious. The star of the show was the beer battered pickles. OMG...so good. This place is found in a cute little neighborhood. The bar looked like it was full of regulars. The staff were very friendly. This hidden gem is a must try! read more

So my good friend brought me here yesterday for the first time for my birthday . We had a reservation, but still waited about 20 minutes to be seated . Place was packed to the rafters, which for me is always a good sign . Our waiters were Beth and Ashley . For me they were absolutely stellar in every way possible one could want from a service staff especially when the place is packed . They're were the All stars in my book . As for the food , I had the fried chicken sandwich and I was not disappointed . Absolutely delicious. My first time having fried pickles and I am hooked . Collard greens delicious . Fried calamari cooked to perfection. My old-fashioned drink was enjoyable . If I'm knit picking, I would say it could've been a little more balanced, but again, not disappointed. Good food, great ambience and the place just had a very welcoming and warm feeling what more could a customer want? This is definitely a place I'll be returning too and I strongly recommend anyone to give them a try and see for yourself. Restaurants are such a tough business, but this place gets it and they deserve all the success that may comes their way. read more

Better experience this time overall! The Shirley temple was balanced still! Fried pickles still my favorite thing, the cornbread was less dry. The cinnamon butter is fire. The brussel sprouts were cooked really well, tender but not burnt but I didn't like the mustard pairing. I think they need something a bit sweeter like a maple glaze or something of the like. The pulled pork sliders were good especially with the addition of the caramelized onions. They had a different sauce than I was used to, not necessarily your standard barbeque sauce but I was okay with it. The mac and cheese was way better this time too, more creamy and I really liked the taste. Turns out getting the pulled pork and mac and cheese separately from each other is better lol. read more

I recommend the Rye Roadhouse to many people who are looking for good Cajun food, some southern food, and anyone interested in catching a Stanley Cup game. Their gumbo is the best I've had in this part of the country and their jambalaya is also top shelf. My former wife was from South Central Louisiana so I have some experience in that cuisine. I have only had one dish there that was just fair - the étouffée - but all the rest have been excellent. The service is always much better than average and the decor is rusticp and clean. read more

I was craving the pork chop, smothered, and onions, and had to go there for dinner! We started with the popcorn shrimp, which are always crispy and perfect. Then we moved onto the fabulous pork chop, which was juicy and perfect. Everybody is so nice here. Drinks are flowing and the hurricanes are delicious. Love this place! read more

It's been a long time since we've been here. Being as we live in CT it can be a pain to drive to, but it's worth it. The portions are always large and fresh!! The gator nuggets, either fried or blackened always hit the spot! Now I don't know if the fried pickles are a new addition, but I'm totally here for them! Thanks for the service and pleasantness read more

The fried chicken is IT!! Crispy, flavorful, tender and juicy!! I'll go back for the fried chicken again and again. The cornmeal coated fish and chips were also very yummy. The fried foods did not feel or taste greasy. How??? We also had the mussels in red sauce...the sauce was rich and smoky; really good!! Our server was super friendly, warm, and attentive. We will be going back for sure! read more

Went for a late lunch. The location is off the main roads so it's secluded. There was street parking. The ambiance was warm and inviting. We were greeted and seated quickly. The staff was friendly and attentive. The catfish Po'Boy I ordered was seasoned and cooked well. The steamed mussels in red sauce is a must order if you come here. On my next visit, I will be looking forward to the jambalaya. Highly recommended with two thumbs up! read more

Ok experience at Rye Roadhouse. Starting my with the good, the atmosphere is fun, lively and unique. Not your average Westchester joint -- more cozy, Irish/old-school barry feel that will make you feel you're much further away from NYC than you actually are. Service was fine, but nothing to write a yelp review about. The food was the disappointing part. We ordered a steak sandwich and blackened mahi mahi, each with sides of sweet potato fries and a garden salad. Steak sandwich was good, but the fish's seasoning was overpowering and the fries lacked crispness and flavor. Hope my next visit is more successful. read more

We were excited to find this gem after we visited a local walking trail. The food was delicious and the service although a little slow taking our order was great after that. The cornbread and cinnamon butter was wonderful surprise. I ordered the portobello sliders and my husband ordered the shrimp pi boy with sweet potato fries! Both were delicious. We would definitely come back! read more

I would say that this establishment was ok to good. It had a very cool 1800s pub feel to it. The lighting was ok and the chairs were hard without cushions and it might be fine for some and a little tough on the back for others. The acoustics were ok, albeit worse than I expected given the number of people and the comfy feel. Our waitress was attentive to some extent. Maybe fair to good. I'm The nachos were generously sized looked magnificent with plentiful and well proportioned ingredients. I think they could have used more of a kick and a little more bite since they were a bit bland. Maybe some pepper Jack or other cheese or some drizzled barbecue sauce might have helped too. I'd definitely give them another chance. The wings were ok. They were incomparable to places that are famous for their wings like Candlelight Inn or Sherwoods. Maybe they didn't need the breading? They were a little mushy and tasted just fine and were fair to good but not great. As the English would say, quite good. The ribs seemed as though they were cooked and cut into their individual pieces and then recooked. Not fried but maybe they were put under the salamander? They were slightly crisp which is not to mean they were not tasty-- they were good, perhaps due to the slight crisp and the BBQ sauce that worked well. We asked a diner at another table who said the fried chicken was delicious. Service 3.5 Food 3.5 Ambiance 3 Overall score 3.33 I'll come back and I think there is a chance they could hit a 4. This time closer to 3 than a 4 tjo read more

Ate here today. The place is in an obscure location on a quaint street near the high way. The staff were very nice and went out of their way to accommodate us. The food was good. I had gumbo for appetizer. For lunch I had a spicy fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and my husband had jambalaya. I enjoyed my meal but my husband was not as excited about his. I gave this place a three because the restaurant had a stuffy smell. read more

Great spot for drinks and a good bite! It's on an unsuspecting street in Rye in a residential area. Don't be surprised when you get to the end of the street you have arrived in the right place. If you are heading there after hours there is a parking lot just past the restaurant on the left that is attached to an office building. A little easier than finding street parking. The drinks and food are yummy and reasonably priced! Highly recommend the wings, they are crispy and just the right amount of heat. Only downside is they don't have ranch dressing...im not a big blue cheese fan. We also had the sliders and fries. The sliders are handmade Patties cooked well and not dried out. Topped with your selection of sides. The fries are also fresh cut potatoes! Yum! Overall, would recommend if you are in the area for some casual food and drinks. read more

been here twice and been disappointed twice. food is simply not that good which does no favors for its inauthenticity on top of it. none of these dishes are prepared as they would be in LA and you can really taste how far they are from home. crawfish was very fishy and rubbery texture, etouffee flavor itself was gummy and sweet/ketchupy. cannot emphasize enough how weirdly ketchupy it was in texture and flavor and now oddly sweet it was. comes with bland rice in addition to the questionably past fresh crawfish. MP ribeye is embarrassing. the chilli is alright and the gumbo is okay but not really gumbo. servers were cranky, unfriendly and unhelpful. we were one of a few tables on a bad weather night where they were obviously hoping to close shop early and go home and could not hide the fact that they were upset that they had to continue working because tables came in. my dinner partners were asked repeatedly if they wanted refills of their drinks and got multiple, you would have thought the server would mention that refills were not free! imagine how surprised we were when we got charged for four sodas. it's fun that all the tables have different hot sauces. decor is stereotypical of their theme. read more

The ambiance is a fun, casual, rustic venue. A little of a random spot and difficult to find parking but once you're inside, you realize it's some what of a local spot! We drove 20-30 minutes just to try their chicken fried steak special. As a native Texan, I can never find chicken fried steak in the north east, so when I heard this place was doing a special this weekend only, I had to stop by! Free corn bread was amazing with their special butter. The meatloaf was also very very good! I don't know why they give you an option of blacken or grilled but we got the grilled meatloaf. I had food envy of every table around us too. Kids menu was awesome as well. Everything came in hefty portions. Would love to try it again on another chicken fried steak weekend! read more

My dad has been just raving about this place, so we went to go try it out. Definitely dive bar vibes. Cute bayou Louisiana theme. My dad highly recommends the chili sticks, which are like chili hot pockets. I don't like chili, so I'm biased. I enjoyed the Mac n cheese bites. They were no fried Mac and cheese from Cheesecake Factory but they were satisfying nonetheless. I really enjoyed the collard greens, as I don't see that on menus often. I was unfortunately a little disappointed by the fried chicken, as it was a little dry. The pieces that were dark meat were good, but the white meat was left on the plate. Portions are a good size. Service was nice and attentive. Overall, if you are looking for a divey spot for some beer and bar food, this place will be your jam. Tip from my dad: order the chili fries! And get gravy on the side instead of on mashed potatoes. read more

Food - Great Cajun food and brunch. One of the best bloody Mary's, but plenty of other choices. For apps had Fried gator nuggets which were good but the star was the stuffed hot peppers. Brunch had the chicken and waffles, nice crispy chicken and sweet potato waffle was great combo. Service - Place really shines on service. Waitress was extremely friendly and helpful as was the rest of the staff. All smiles all around and very attentive. Ambiance - New Orleans/cajun theme, laid back but cozy atmosphere.

This place is a little difficult to find it's down on a residential side street. But the food is excellent. Their fried chicken is out of this world.

Ordered fried chicken sandwich and cheeseburger delivery, and thought both were not bad, but not great. Burger was undercooked and fried chicken was kinda dry. Flavors weren't bad.

If I reviewed this place in comparison to a Cajun style restaurant located in New Orleans that only the locals know about then naturally it would not even be in the same stratosphere. However this place also happens to be in a weird part of town that only locals know about but this isn't Louisiana it's Rye NY. With all that being said. This place is great. But don't tell anyone because it's always busy on the weekends and parking is terrible so let's not make it worse. Going earlier on weekdays is the best choice. The decor and old school overly polished wood has the perfect vibe while chowing down on some Gator nuggets. Yes I said Alligator. Both the blackened and fried are delicious but I do prefer blackened. The service is always A+++++ and you won't find a better Cajun-Creole restaurant in Westchester. The overall atmosphere will not be as aesthetically pleasing on the eyes for the khaki/karen/Kyle groups that prefer marble top bars and granite floors. They tend to fair better in those trendy restaurants on Purchase st. read more

Fried chicken. That's all I need to say. Oh... and great bartenders, convivial atmosphere and great riffs on NOLA food (from a NOLA native.) A bit hard to find, and parking's a bit iffy... all of which works in my favor, because it's a bit of a hidden gem that I want to keep to myself!! Honestly, though... if you're in the neighborhood, do not miss The Rye Roadhouse!!! read more
