Check with our team weekly to find out what new oysters we are bringing in, but here are three long-standing favorites that could be available on our menu: Blue Point, Chebooktook, and Wellfleet. We also offer a chef's choice of $2 oysters for Happy Hour, Mon-Fri 2pm-6pm! Come on by for a really great deal!
Artisanal cheese selections
The Roadhouse doesn't mess around when it comes to cheese! We bring in the cream of the crop from all over the U.S. for our cheese board selections, including favorites from our very own Zingerman's Creamery here in Ann Arbor! Any of our artisanal cheeses can be added on top of a burger or used to make a melty grilled cheese sandwich. Here are a few of our more popular choices, but check in with us daily to see what made the cut: Hook's 7-Year Aged Cheddar, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Kenny's Farmhouse Kentucky Rose, and SarVecchio 18-Month parmesan.
