Zingerman’s Roadhouse is Cookin’ Up BIG Changes 

Pardon Our Dust

After years of dreaming and planning, we’re rolling up our sleeves and renovating our building! 

We’ll be temporarily closing for approximately six weeks, starting January 4, 2026, to make these necessary improvements. 

Our beloved building has served us well for 22 years (and served others well prior to that—built in 1958, it was originally a Bill Knapp’s!), but now it’s in need of a little TLC. When we reopen, you’ll find the same Roadhouse charm you love—just brighter, comfier, and better than ever.

COMING SOON:
• Updated, more comfortable seating
• A completely reimagined bar room
• All-new flooring and lighting
• Acoustic improvements
• Energy-efficient kitchen equipment and coolers

“I feel like we are opening a new restaurant. Outside of our tried-and-true food recipes, there is very little in our restaurant that isn’t getting a fresh start. I’m excited to welcome back both our longtime guests and first-time diners to show them around.” — Chef Bob Bennett

“We’re so excited about the projects happening around the restaurant this winter. We just finished picking out fabrics, paint colors, light fixtures, sound-absorbing mechanisms, and more—I believe it will feel like a new restaurant in many regards. Do come by to enjoy our new look and feel, perhaps for a delicious post-Valentine’s Day celebration in February. I hope you like it as much as I already do!” —Lisa Schultz, Managing Partner
