The seventh member of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, located in Ann Arbor, Mich., the Roadhouse opened in 2003 with the vision of bringing really good American food to the community, using only the best available ingredients. The Roadhouse has worked hard to create its own truly unique food culture, transforming high-quality ingredients into traditional, full-flavored dishes. Even after years of studying American foodways, the Roadhouse is only beginning to fully understand and appreciate our country’s regional food microcultures and subcultures, and the professionals who preserve them.
The Roadhouse requires a credit card for parties of 5 or more. All credit card information will be processed securely. No-shows or cancellations less than 1 day in advance will be subject to a charge of $20 per person.
Celebrating a special occasion with us? The Roadhouse can order a cake for you from Zingerman’s Bakehouse with 48 hours notice! Just give us a call at 734.663.3663. If you plan on bringing your own dessert, we do charge a dessert fee of $5.00 per person. For private parties, contact our Events Team.

This holiday season the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses is featuring the crucial work of Food Gatherers as our Nonprofit Spotlight throughout November and December! The mission at Food Gatherers is particularly important in recent years, with food scarcity heightened these past few years. But this incredible nonprofit has been working tirelessly to ensure that everyone in our community has access to nutritious meals. See how you can help support their work at zcob.me/spotlight
