"I visited Zingerman's Roadhouse at the height of tomato season, and so could not resist this appetizer made from nearby Cornman Farms' heirloom tomatoes."
Michael Stern
"Zingerman's menu said 'Ask for a taste!' and this is what I got -- the most succulent little heap of smoked pork outside of North Carolina. It's only a slight exaggeration to say it melts in your mouth. In the background is a sample of sweet corn pudding. Yum!"
Michael Stern
"Technically, these three little tubes are corn dogs, but the firm, garlicky, snap of the all-beef dogs and their coat of batter made from Anson Mills' organic corn meal really makes them another foodstuff altogether. Three different mustards are supplied for dipping."
Michael Stern
"The menu here boasts six different kinds of mac & cheese. This especially creamy version, known as Roadhouse Macaroni & Cheese, is made with two-year-old raw milk Vermont cheddar. Superb!"

"How could I say no to a dessert named "Flight of the Bumblebee"? It is a sampler of three different regional honeys, one of which, the waitress told me, comes from a swarm of bees whose owners actually move them around to fields of flowers that grow only after there has been a fire, the nectar of which these particular bees just love, and from which they make super-sunshiny honey. Little Madeleines come alongside for dipping. I forsook the cookies and used a spoon."
Michael Stern
"There's a broad-spectrum tongue appeal to this wild rice roast, from its sweet dried cherries and differently sweet carrots to a whole other sweetness of the cider balsamico drizzled on top. Balancing all that is the earthiness of grains and bitterness of greens. What a fun dish to fork up!"
Michael Stern
"As might be expected, given the high quality of bread made by Zingerman's deli, the slices you get to begin a Roadhouse meal are just-baked fresh and delicious."
Michael Stern
"Aged cheddar and a chunky chili over twice-fried french fries."
EpicPortions
"Black bean and hominy burger, served with green chiles, avocado salad, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, on a fresh onion roll."
EpicPortions
"Not the best calamari I've had, but still delicious."

"Raw oyster with horseradish sauce."

"Zingerman's Roadhouse certainly lives up to its neon motto!"
buffetbuster
"In the spirit of celebrating the American road, Zingerman's has stationed a vintage trailer outside the restaurant and made it into a drive-through source of coffee drinks, pastries and sandwiches for those on the go."
