The athnosphere was good, the service was good too. The food was overprice and the taste is just an ok. It is not something you have to have before you die. You won't miss anything even if you have never come here when you are in Ann Arbour. I have 2 piece over fried chicken and a small strawberry rhubab... More

We were looking for gluten free and stopped here on a friend's recommendation, and the food was wonderful. They even have their own gluten free bread, and the wait staff are well-versed in food allergy. Will be back as often as we can.

Wow! Something you just don't normally say about a breakfast. Absolutely everything is fresh, perfectly prepared and spectacularly delicious! From farm fresh local eggs to their homemade preserves.... simply wow! Call for reservations as everyone who eats breakfast out - knows about this place. They took our plates away practically as clean as they came out of the dishwasher... that... More

The smell coming out of this place draws you in from a mile away. The food is excellent, the experience is neat. You need to eat there at least once but with the prices I'd rather frequent Panera.

Nothing bad to say about the roadhouse. If you are looking for a dining place in the area, this would be a good choice. My family and I enjoyed our lunch there.

I'm not sure about the negative reviews, as there wouldn't be many roadhouses like this in the US. If you like to eat bland, fatty highway food you probably won't like this place, but then maybe you should try it to see what real food tastes like. Try the orange juice to understand this comment. Service is some of the... More

Sometimes it seems that every person in Ann Arbor sounds like a cracked record as far as Zingerman's is concerned. The restaurant is wildly overrated. The only thing remotely good about our meal was the bread. Otherwise, for all the attempts to prove how local everything is, and it's provenance, everything was remarkably tasteless. And of course the taste is... More

We did a u-turn when we saw the sign, wanting to experience the legendary Zingerman's so close to out hotel. We were seated very promptly, at the tail end of the Sunday brunch business; so far, so good. The server wasted our time and his giving a long, canned spiel about the restaurant's history when we just wanted to order... More

My son and his girl friend researched places to eat in Ann Arbor and decided Zingerman's Roadhouse was the place to go. My son and I ordered barbecue pork and beef sandwiches. My son's girlfriend had the trout po boy. The barbecue was good not great. Not a big fan of Carolina sauce. The sandwiches were on the small side... More
