Serving Great Food with Heart and Passion

A Place to Gather and Enjoy

 A Place to Gather and Enjoy
Our journey began in September 2020 when we, Aaron and Amanda Lenz, decided to open a restaurant in the heart of Orange City, IA. Aaron, originally from Perry, Iowa, and a graduate of Iowa State University and the Culinary Institute of America in New York, combined his love for food with years of experience. Amanda, a native of Orange City, shares her passion for this town and its people. Together, we wanted to create a spot where everyone can enjoy great food and even better company.

A Tribute to Our Travels and Culinary Adventures

A Tribute to Our Travels and Culinary Adventures
Over the years, we’ve traveled all over the country, working in various hospitality roles and discovering different regional cuisines. Each place we visited had its own unique flavors, but one thing was always the same: the cheeseburgers and milkshakes. They were a constant comfort. The Roadhouse is our way of sharing those favorites with our community—hand-crafted cheeseburgers and milkshakes that are made with fresh, local ingredients.
