Is Zingerman's Roadhouse Still Open? Food Paradise Update (Ann Arbor, MI)

Food Paradise, Season 18, Episode 4

Food Paradise's episode "Cranked Up Comfort" featured Zingerman's Roadhouse, an American roadhouse restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and part of the wider Zingerman's family of food businesses. The restaurant operates from 2501 Jackson Ave, on Ann Arbor's west side, a separate address from the original Zingerman's Delicatessen. A check of the restaurant's website, zingermansroadhouse.com, on 2026-09-08 found the site live, listing daily posted hours for Thursday through Sunday and offering a working online-ordering system through a "Roadshow Drive-Thru." Google Places separately lists the business as operational at the same Jackson Avenue address, matching the website's location. No dated news article or social media post was reviewed for this record, since the website and Google Places listing already provided current, dated evidence of operation.

You Gotta Eat Here!, Season 4, Episode 12 Aired April 17, 2015

Zingerman's Roadhouse was the Ann Arbor, Michigan stop in the Season 4 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! titled "The Smoke, Lahore Tikka House, Zingerman's Roadhouse," which aired 2015-04-17. TheTVDB's episode description says host John Catucci ate American fare there on a cross-border trip, and TVmaze's listing says he visited a restaurant in Ann Arbor; neither names a specific dish. According to the restaurant's own website, Zingerman's Roadhouse is at 2501 Jackson Avenue in Ann Arbor, opened in 2003 as the seventh member of the Zingerman's Community of Businesses, and serves regional American comfort food, including a fried chicken basket, macaroni and cheese and house-smoked barbecue. The same website lists a James Beard Award for Best Chef Great Lakes in 2011, plus James Beard finalist recognition for Outstanding Service in 2019 and Outstanding Hospitality in 2020 (zingermansroadhouse.com).
