Tarpy's Roadhouse is a delightful dining destination, praised for its "amazing meal with the best service" and "wonderful food." The atmosphere is described as "eclectic" and "understated elegance," with "beautiful patio dining" and a "historic stone house" setting. Diners frequently laud the "great ambiance" and "fantastic service," while specialties like the chili-crusted chicken and artichoke appetizer are highlights.

    Our wait person was wonderful. I didn’t get her name but she was so friendly and accommodating to our party of 6 ladies at a birthday lunch. She has two little boys at home. I hope you will pass along our appreciation to her. Outstanding lady!

    Waitress was delightful, and gave us plenty of time to chat before ordering. She checked in with us regularly and brought a birthday dessert without asking.

    The name and the logo (which I like) make it seem like it’s going to be a little dive bar. But it’s a great restaurant!!
