Zingerman's Roadhouse is one of the Zingerman's Family of Businesses, an informal, sit-down restaurant specializing in high-quality versions of traditional American cuisine as well as innovative American dishes. It focuses on American ingredients, many of which are artisan products, and some of which are locally made or grown. It is located in an extensively-remodeled former Bill Knapp's in Westgate Shopping Center, at the corner of Maple and Jackson Roads.

The Roadhouse is best known for its impressive array of barbecued meats, which are smoked and barbecued on site, but the menu is far more extensive than that might suggest. Its most controversial specialties are its hamburgers and a dizzying array of variants on macaroni and cheese; made from top-flight ingredients, they have been criticized by some because of their cost. Many, however, think they're worth the price, and the restaurant is generally packed at peak times.

Like Zingerman's Deli, the Roadhouse focuses on providing a high-quality product and knowledgeable staff, rather than on economy.

The Roadhouse is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, and also serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
