Out on Bangalow Road, away from the flip-flop shuffle of town, The Roadhouse operates at a different pace. The format is casual, the price point is mid-range, and the crowd skews local rather than tourist. Without a deep well of reviews to draw from, it's hard to call a standout dish, but the positioning suggests straightforward, unfussy food done with some care. Think roadside diner energy with a Byron sensibility: good produce, relaxed service, no dress code required. It sits in that useful middle ground between a quick lunch and a proper sit-down, which makes it a reliable stop if you're heading in from Bangalow or out toward the hinterland. Worth checking their current menu before you make a special trip.

Came here for dinner on a one night trip, food and cocktails were delicious! Better than a lot of food I’ve had at hatted restaurants, unique flavours that worked so well, everything was 10/10. Service was also spectacular, better than any service we’ve had in Sydney. We loved it so much we came back for breakfast the next morning and were equally impressed with the delicious breakfast options and unique coffee brews. Pancakes were insanely good!! If you are visiting Byron you have to come here!!!

Came down here for the weekend and the vibe is unmatchable. Staff were so accommodating, live music added to the welcoming atmosphere and the food was so delicious. Since finding out I was lactose free it’s been impossible to find a pizza I’ve actually enjoyed. I mentioned this to the staff and they recommended subbing cashew cheese for mozzarella and I am beyond impressed. We had the gambero (seafood pizza) wood fired pizza and wow, I would recommend this if you’re lactose intolerant/vegan or even just to try.
