Great food and prices were good considering the portions. They give you a lot for the price. Friendly people, and I love the hometown food style.

Found this place earlier in the week and have been twice now, best italian beef I've had down here and the best brisket around the area by a long shot. Friendly owners who do all the cooking and service, cannot recommend enough, especially for the price.

First time there. The food was amazing, fresh, and plentiful! They are definitely not stingey with their portions! The family running it were so great also! I would strongly recommend everyone to try it.

Second visit to this establishment and just as stellar as the first. Staff is personable, friendly, and funny. Brianna (may have spelled name wrong, sorry!) was my server both times and she is amazing! The food is always hot and fresh, plus delicious. Will definitely be returning again.

Holy cow! Literally! Best brisket I had since we moved to Tennessee from Texas. We also had the Philly and the lamb Gyro sandwich and they were amazing. Food taste better when you are in friendly and hommie place. Totally recommended. ?

Came here looking for Italian Beef, and Off Road certainly delivered. Their rendition, while not Johnnie's or Al's, is everything you can ask for in Tennessee. Very flavorful and excellent gravy and giardiniera. What really earns the 5 stars is the service, it was fast and very friendly. Owner answered all my questions on the menu and his approach to barbecue - even gave me brisket to sample, will definitely be trying that next time. Truly a marriage of the classic Chicago hole in the wall and Tennessee barbecue.

Great friendly service! Great food! I would give a few more stars if I could! Sampled the brisket and it's one of the best I've had! Got a spicy beef and a Chicago dog, both were amazing! Definitely going back

Hi, I'm a local, and a fan of the NY Dog at Off Road Diner and Dogs. This place is more than just a diner; it's a testament to the power of good food and great hospitality. Whether you're craving the smoky richness of barbecue brisket, the tangy zest of a Chicago dog, or the hearty comfort of an Italian beef sandwich, you'll be welcomed you with open arms. This Oak Ridge gem is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Chicago paired with the best of Southern barbecue.
