I have eaten barbeque from border to border in this state. I'm not an expert, but I do know good food when I find it. My family and I stopped by RO's on our way to see the Christmas lights at Mcadenville. I had heard good things about this place 'word of mouth', and wanted to try it. I was greatly disappointed. The facts: It took us thirty-five minutes to get our meal. I ordered the barbeque plate with the meat minced. I was shocked when I opened my 'Styrofoam' container to find a lump of dry meat chopped so fine, it looked like dust. The only way I could eat it was to mix in barbeque sauce, which is served in packets. My 1/4 cup of beans appeared to be fresh out the can and were cold -yes, cold. The hushpuppies, all three of them, had some flavor, but where stale and dry. The onion rings were actually decent, with a light batter and were hot -I got four. The fries were definitely a low grade -very thin, with no potato taste, and were overcooked in the deep fry. Finally, the bbq slaw/dip was pretty good. However, it is not really slaw, and I think it would shock some people. My mother had a cheeseburger, she said the meat was tasty, but was only lukewarm with the cheese un-melted on top. She scraped the bbq slaw off of her burger. My son had chicken tenders, he said they were flavorful and moist, but they were fried too long -almost burnt. My daughter had a corn dog which was almost burnt. She peeled off the bread, and ate the dog. And finally, when I went to ask for some extra bbq sauce 'packets' and honey mustard, the guys at the counter looked at me like I was committing a crime. Actually, I got the feeling they didn't want to hand it out for free. I try not to be hard on a restaurant if I get a bad meal, and I will definitely give one a second chance, but this was bad. In my case, almost everything served to my family was unacceptable. I wouldn't spend another $30.00 to give them a second chance. Thank you for taking time to read my review.
Pros: They serve Pepsi products.
Cons: The food, period.
