Rachel's Roadhouse - American restaurant in Mercer - 1553 Perry Hwy, USA

My husband ordered the Reuben and fries. Reuben was average and tasty. Fries a little below average. He did love the pretzels with cheese sauce. I ordered the Cajun pasta with Chicken, which was delicious, not spicy, and would probably have been just as good with the sausage. French Onion soup was also very good, with just the right amount of bread and melted cheese. Our server, Marcy, was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is very “roadhouse” with locals at the bar.

It was my birthday. They don't offer anything for your birthday. We drove an hour to get there. Stopped at Hells Hollow Falls along the way. That was a nice hike to the falls.. I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a very long time. On the menu there were a lot of different choices to choose from so it took a while to read everything. There were a lot of hot spicy foods that I cannot eat. The menu was a little confusing to understand. Prices next to the item may not be what you would pay because if you wanted to add say onions.. I think everything you want to add was a dollar or two extra for each item..not sure but that's what it looked like to me.. like I said it was confusing and I was being treated by a friend so I didn't wanna ask plus I did not see the bill when it came.. It's not as good as I thought it would be. If you're a picky eater or watching your healthy food choices you probably won't like this place.. But we had good service and our food was hot . That's important to me. Nothing like getting served cold food that was prepared hot. I did like the chocolate cream cake It was a nice size piece..and the spinach dip was very cheesy. Different than I've ever had before. My French onion soup was also very cheesy good and hot but a little too salty for my taste. I didn't take a picture of the zucchini fries..but they were actually very good except you didn't get very much for the price.. My French dip did Not have enough meat and it was not spread over the bun equally. Half my hoagie was almost empty of meat but you don't think to open up your hoagie to double-check and make sure the meat is spread properly the picture is deceiving..the dip sauce was way too salty. I couldn't dip my bread..also I thought I read in another review they had baked apple dumplings ? But they did not. So sad. I really wanted one..So I can check this off my bucket list. I don't plan on going back. But I enjoyed the trip up and back. I'm glad I made the long trip to try it.

Our first time here, was visiting the area. I can not remember our servers name but she was so nice. Our food came out quickly and it was so good. We live in Ohio but will definitely be back again. Went in around lunchtime. Was decently busy but didnt wait long for our food. Prices were good.

The food was fantastic. The staff was excellent. I was impressed with the level of care all staff members took, assisting each other and their tables. Drinks were delicious.

Zack was my server and he was the nicest best server I’ve ever had. He recommended the truck stop deluxe and it was soooo good. I will be returning again soon. I came back again and was lucky enough to get Zack as a server again. He was super nice again and the food was astronomically good again! quickly becoming my new favorite place to eat!

Can't say enough good things about Rachel's. Food is always good and service is great. Had the Fiery blue chicken special tonight and it might be my favorite meal there ever.

Absolutely charming location, delightful food, Incredible service and phenomenal experience.

Every time it's excellent food and pleasant service. This was a late evening stop for dessert and a drink. When in Western PA check them out!
