"On the open road of life, nestled in the heart of Union Pier, there's a beacon, an oasis - the Red Arrow Roadhouse. Just like the beats of yesteryears, pulsing with the rhythm of a different era, the Roadhouse thrums with life, teeming with souls seeking solace in good food and company. It’s always alive, bustling, echoing the vibes of the beats that roamed free, telling tales of cities and dreams. The wait? Ah, the wait is but a testament to its legacy, and like any good journey, it's always worth the pause. The staff - the true heartbeats of this joint - wear their smiles like the sun, warming your very essence, every gesture a dance of welcoming delight. The food, ah! The food. The blue cheese potato chips crackled like the stories from the road, while the turkey manhattan soared high like the tales from exotic lands. Meatloaf, grounding and hearty, echoed the grounded wisdom of those who've tread before, and the enchiladas, they swirled with the passion and fire of the very spirit of the road. Amidst the symphony of clinking dishes and buzzing conversations, Kandace stood out, not just as a server, but as a guiding star of our evening. With the grace of a seasoned traveler and the enthusiasm of someone discovering the world for the first time, she navigated our journey through the menu, making recommendations with a sparkle in her eye. One thing’s for sure, like the nomads of the pages, we too shall return. For the Red Arrow Roadhouse isn’t just a pit stop; it's a chapter in our story."

"Nice spot located on a busy road! Outdoor or indoor seating. We were seated right away and our waiter was nice and attentive. Clean space, good atmosphere! Not a lot of variety for vegetarians so I ordered the pizza salad and had the spinach dip for appetizer. Portion was large! It was good however the spinach dip was very oily and chips weren’t the greatest. I would probably come back and give this place another shot!"

"We loved this place and now understand why they are always so busy! We started with the buffalo cauliflower, and let me tell you it was WONDERFUL! Their sauce is an incredible combination of spicy and sweet, and the fresh crispy light breading was just perfect. My wife had the oven fried cod, and while I am sure their tartar sauce is good as the menu said, it was completely unnecessary. The fish was cooked perfectly and the delicate garlic flavor was just excellent. I had the broiled whitefish, and woah Nelly was my mouth happy about it! Again, perfectly cooked and the caramelized Parmesan crust was divine with the delicate flavor of the fish! Our server was quite busy and even more friendly. It is a family place, so there was the expected amount of background noise made by excited or overly tired children of all ages, but that doesn’t bother us at all. Strongly recommend this place, and also that you go early or be ready to wait. If you must wait, though, it’s worth it!"

"After spending the day at the dunes this was a great stop nearby. Mahi tacos stuffed with plenty of Mahi, great drink selection and sandwiches stuffed with meat. Very friendly staff and plenty of seating options from outdoor, screened in porch and traditional dining. The menu had tons of good choices so we will be back as are regular stop when visiting the dunes!"

"Based on previous reviews I had some very high hopes going into Red Arrow Roadhouse… Unfortunately in regards to the food, it very much underdelivered for my fiancé and I. The ribs were below average, while I love vinegar, they had a very.. strange v-based sauce almost as if it was a certain Kroger brand sauce. Which hey is fine, just not for the price. The fish was alright, made no mention of black beans so keep that in mind. Overall service great. Food extremely below average."
