Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!

This was our second time eating at Roshambo, but the first time we brought 2 of our 3 children (ages 16 and 23). Our food came out quickly! Everything we ordered was delicious. They have the best crème brûlée I have ever had! Our kids raved about it all the way home. One the greatest things about Roshambo is the variety of foods on the menu-everyone could find something they were very happy with! The ambiance is fabulous. We will be back soon-the kids want us to order the fried chicken meal with mac & cheese and collards!
