Original Roadhouse Grill

Original Roadhouse Grill is a family-owned and operated casual dining restaurant chain specializing in American cuisine, particularly steaks and barbecue. Established over 40 years ago by brothers Larry and Ralph Cimmarusti, it has a rich history rooted in the Los Angeles area, starting with an Italian deli in Hollywood.

Their commitment to quality and community support has been a cornerstone of their success.

Menu Highlights

The restaurant's menu features a variety of hand-cut USDA steaks, fall-off-the-bone barbecue ribs, and freshly baked rolls. Each steak is grilled over mesquite wood and seasoned with a special blend of spices, ensuring a flavorful dining experience.

In addition to steaks and ribs, the menu offers slow-roasted Bourbon Tri-Tip, two styles of pork ribs, and butcher-ground double patty Steakhouse Burgers. Freshly made sides and specialty flavored lemonades complement the main dishes.

Dining Atmosphere

The dining atmosphere is fun, casual, and family-friendly. Guests are welcomed with buckets of peanuts and a jukebox, creating a lively environment. The open kitchen concept allows patrons to watch the grill masters at work, adding to the interactive experience.

The full-service bar offers roadhouse-themed beverages, including locally crafted beers and drinks served in mason jars, such as Bootlegger Tea, Hillbilly Punch, and the Original Steakhouse Bloody Mary.

Community Involvement

Community involvement is significant to Original Roadhouse Grill. The restaurant has donated over one million dollars to support families of police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.

They also participate in local fundraisers, including hosting the annual Officer Down Ride in Bakersfield, California, and catering events for organizations like My Father's House in Gresham, Oregon, which supports homeless families.
