Roadhouse Restaurant Bakery

Kramer Junction, sounds like something out of an old Western or
horror movie to me. It's really nothing more than a heavily traveled
intersection in the middle of nowhere. They don't have to work hard
at keeping business here, cause they've got all the business they
could want. If you don't eat here than you wont be eating for quite a
while. My husband says that they've remodeled in the last 15 years,
while I thought it had to be longer than that. He begged to differ
explaining that they just don't have good taste. It was smart to pack
a lot of booths into the place, as they were all nearly full on a Sunday
afternoon, with traveling families, truckers and locals from who
knows where. Though the food we ordered didn't live up to any slight
hopes I had, the easy going would be pleased. Mozzarella Sticks
were the frozen variety served with marinara sauce. Beer Battered
Onion Rings hid thin stringy onions inside an overcooked breading.
Getting only one shot at this, I asked the waitress for a
recommendation. She squirmed, winced and reluctantly said the
Roadrunner sandwich seemed to be ordered the most. The menu
described it as "...piled high with thinly sliced turkey on grilled
parmesan sourdough with jack cheese, bacon & tomatoes." I'm
sorry, but the filling in this sandwich was nowhere near "piled high".
Nevertheless, after slathering it with a necessary side of mayonnaise
it was very edible. The Chicken Gumbo had a good broth, but was
mostly rice, carrots and celery, not my kind of soup. Serving
breakfast all day, the Pancake Combo was decent. Though the
pancakes weren't dry like others, they lacked flavor, needing all that
butter and syrup. These came with two eggs and a choice of two
sausage links or bacon strips. The lunch menu has a few sandwiches
and 11 different burgers as well as Chili in a Bread Bowl. Dinner offers
typical home cooking such as Southern Fried Chicken, Country Fried
Steak, Rib Eye Steak, Ground Sirloin and USDA Choice Sirloin Steak.
Their bakery case was limited with mostly donuts, pastries and
cookies. Many of their cookies were bagged up with a sample broken
in pieces on a plate next to them. We all sampled the M&M cookie
and walked away unaffected, and you know what, I don't think they
cared either. What are you gonna do?
