The Roadhouse is also on Highway 192 in Kissimmee not too far past Medieval Times and the Kissimmee location of Congo River Mini Golf (heading east). It’s a typical bar and grill; we arrived there for an early lunch and had almost the hold place to ourselves.
It looks just like the place in the Patrick Swayze movie, with lots of wooden rails and tin siding. The grill’s main claim to fame is you can have unlimited buckets of roasted peanuts and you’re allowed, actually encouraged, to toss the shells on the floor. This makes for a messy restaurant, but I don’t have to clean it up, so who cares?!
Our party of seven ordered many different menu selections from a roadhouse cheeseburger to an Asian grilled chicken salad. I had the French dip, which was delicious, but too big for me to eat it all (all the peanuts I ate before the meal didn’t help). Everyone enjoyed their meal and the waiter was accommodating, but he gave us our space. We sat there for over an hour after the meal just chatting and the wait staff didn’t seem to mind. If we had known what a dud Epcot was going to be, we would have stayed longer. The prices were pretty reasonable: $8 for a cheeseburger or French dip with your choice of fries, steamed veggies, or rice.
It’s a little out of the way if you’re staying in Orlando, but if your vacation base is Kissimmee, you should stop by.
