Restaurant Review: Tecumseh Roadhouse

Last  Saturday, my Hubby and I made desperate calls to our two younger sisters. We asked them to be our little worker elves, and in return we would feed them. So after a long day of packing and lifting boxes, we decided to head to Tecumseh Roadhouse, and we were famished!

We have been to Tecumseh Roadhouse a few times since it opened a few years ago. It is located on County Rd #42, so its not in the heart of the city, but if you are looking for some good Southern BBQ, its worth the drive. 


Historically, I have ordered the Uncle Dave's Buttermilk Fried Chicken, which is probably not the healthiest choice: but its oh so good! The seasoning on the chicken is more than just salt and breading, it has a mixture of some spices that kick up the flavour. Sadly, its no longer on the menu, which has forced me to branch out and order other things. 


Since the four of us were pretty hungry, and it was a busy night at the restaurant when we arrived, it took a good 45-50 minutes to get our food. It was worth the wait, but we did have to raid the pickle bar for something to nibble while our stomachs growled. 


This is what we had to eat:

My Husband ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich, which comes with two choices of sides. He selected the fries and mac and cheese. He reported all three to be delicious, and a sampling of the pulled pork confirmed that for me. It was warm, tender and smokey. What you see drizzled on top is one of the 5 homemade signature sauces...mmmmm mmm good!

My sister-in-law ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with coleslaw and fries. She said that the chicken was spicy, but she liked it, and ate the whole thing up! 

My sister and I chose to share the "Create Your Own Combo", which gives you two entrees to choose from a list and two sides for $18.99! The price was right, and we both were craving ribs, so we each had a half rack with fries and potato salad (not pictured). The ribs were very smokey, tender, and fell right off the bone.  We each doused ours in one of the signature sauces. We both agreed that it was enough food to feed us both. Delicious!

The exciting ending for us was the Tootsie Rolls that came with the bill; forget the Plain-Jane Mints, bring on the Chewy Chocolate!

Overall, Tecumseh Roadhouse is a nice place for friends to gather to enjoy a hearty BBQ meal. The menu is diverse, and is reasonably priced. Be careful if you go on the weekend, because the place tends to fill up quickly AND for your information, they are closed on Mondays.
