Road Kill Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
This is a fun restaurant. They still have the Thursday rib special. Pies are spectacular!
Out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by sports-car-friendly roads (and a covered bridge!), this cafe was an unexpected treat. I had a cheeseburger, cooked just the way I ordered it. I was tempted by the ribs which were the Thursday special, but with hours left to drive that day I decided to try the (homemade) lemon meringue pie. The young lady working there was very friendly. I also noted the many "wild" cats nearby. They were too shy to touch, but they're clearly getting fed and cared for. I'm definitely bringing my car group here this year - just have to figure out a good route from the DC metro area.
Best home cooked food. For being very secluded it seems to stay busy. That's how you know it's so good. People come from all over I'm sure.
If you are looking for home cooked meals to order, this is the place to come. Your food is prepared when you order, so if it's busy, be patient. Friday night is their AYCE fish. This is very popular here and currently runs $14.99 with two sides. I went with the grilled chicken breast dinner. It was very good! The chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. I would definitely order this again. I also had the coleslaw as one of my sides and it was very good. We have been here before and will definitely be back!
Really good food. Reasonable prices and friendly folks. A little off the beaten path but a nice scenic drive. Well worth the drive.
Great unassuming little roadside diner. The name is just the start of the draw. Simply decorated, the decor belies the quality of the great menu. Everything I've eaten here (been there twice) has been great. My favorite is the tater kegs. Think of them as giant loaded tater tots. The tables are basic picnic benches, with plenty of room for families. The staff is very friendly, even offering directions to local attractions, such as covered bridges. The service is prompt and efficient, with the food coming out right on time. The store side is typical rural mini-mart, with all the necessities, and I picked up a shirt just for grins. The parking lot is gravel, so if you're on two wheels, be careful. They have free WI-Fi, which is great, since none of the big 3 cell providers work there. Be sure to save room for pie. It's amazing!
A group of us stopped at the Roadkill today while on a motorcycle ride. The special was very good and the service was very good. Nice people with food food and fast service. My wife and I had the lemonade as well as an appetizer with fried chicken and a special of turkey and potatoes. The bill was under $30 with the tip. Good experience. We will stop back again.
I visited the Roadkill Cafe on a day it was closed. The woman who greeted me was nice enough to offer to serve me anyway. I very much enjoyed my sandwich. I look forward to returning when I'm in the area again.
It was hard to believe that this place is in the middle of nowhere and has pretty good food. I had the hot roast beef sandwich with what I believe we're real mashed potatoes. It was great home cooking. The place looked to be doing great business because it was packed when we walked in. It also doubles as a general store and post office.
