Roby Lee's Restaurant & Banquet Center

A staple in the local community. Under new ownership, but still the same. Whether it is restaurant, event center, or a private gathering, they do it all.

This review is purely about the restaurant not the catering or his banquet hall. This is one of my partner's favorite places and has been since he was much younger. It's nothing super fancy, but it's a nice place for a great meal. With the pandemic, I am sad they stopped their soup and salad bar, but I understand the necessity. It could beat Ruby Tuesday's salad bar any day. They have some incredible specials and some, I think, a bit pricey with recent meat costs, but they post specials every day to their Facebook page. This will also include which two soups they are making that day. Their wedding and Wisconsin Cheddar soup are out of this world. I love good spaghetti and meatballs, and theirs never disappoints. I prefer the marinara sauce to their house sauce (heavier and no tomato chunks.) I've had their chicken wrap, which was so large I could only finish half, but I recommend getting your dressing on the side so you can control how much is on the sandwich. Their prime rib, when they have it, is typically king or queen-sized and has the most incredible au jus. They also have raw horseradish, which is much for me with prime rib, but for those who like the creamy version, they have this too. Their house vinaigrette's for salad are some of the best I've had in my entire life. Don't be shocked if you see the owner walking to floor, checking on guests, running food, and making it know how much this is a labor of love. The fresh bread is a must try!!!!!

It's sad I've been eating here through the years and no longer stop for fish on Fridays.The second to last time I stopped the they seated me next right next to an elder couple while the place had empty booths everywhere.I hate sitting next to people in an empty room, so we walked out.I tried stopping last Friday and "asked" to be seated away from people and the waitress sat me next to a group of elder people with 3/4 of the place empty.After listing to these folks blow their nose & hack, sneeze, and coughing, we just jetted out of there like they all had the flu.Sadly, it reminds me of some Chinese buffet where they had to pack everyone in the same spot for one server.We couldn't even get a booth away from people to sit and talk by request, so, cough, sneeze, fart, and talk about your last colonoscopy without us.

Terrible experience. All orders came out incorrect. When we complained nothing resolved. Never going back

I can't justify returning to this place one more time. I just can't. When the salad bar is consistently the only raving thing about it, you know it's time to cut your losses. I've written reviews before about how the food is alright but nothing I'd get again. Well this last time was the same, only the whole thing fell apart epiclly.Firstly, we requested a server we had previously that had given us excellent service and the woman- who we later found out is either a manager or maybe head server- copped an attitude with us (Cathy I believe her name was). She actually walked off and complained to another employee that we had apparently *dared* to request a certain person. Um, isn't that how other restaurants work?My mom ordered the prime rib while I ordered a combo of steak and beer-battered chicken strips. Here is where the issues begin...My steak came out well done, not mid-rare. It also looked and cut old, and was burnt on one side. Look, you clearly forgot about it on the grill. Why would you even send it out at all? Sure enough when I got my new piece, it was ten times better. I can't help but think the first piece I had was left over from the previous night. There was just no comparing the two. The chicken wasn't that great either; it was rubbery and the batter wasn't what I would expect for a "beer battered" dish. I paid $15 for THIS?Now not only was MY steak done incorrectly, but so was the prime rib. It was so chewy I watched my mother sit and chew a piece for literally three minutes before she had to spit it out. So, naturally, she requested another piece. Now here comes Cathy, who had taken the plate from our waitress and came over to basically lecture us on how a prime rib is supposed to be. Seriously? Just get another piece. It took about fifteen minutes for a new piece to come out. And like my steak, it was a night and day difference that again makes me wonder if they weren't trying to re-serve the previous day's food.No thanks. This was just the last straw. I don't need to be sold mediocre food and get talked down to by some idiot "manager" or whoever the hell she was. Never again.

Absolutely my favorite place to eat in Newton Falls. Fabulous food, fabulously priced, fantastic staff and the owner,.very nice guy. It's a real treat when you call in a To Go or pick up order and you leave with a complimentary piece of pie that you were not expecting!! Just his way of thanking his customers for their loyalty and business. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, on top of their game and the food is #Uh- Huh fabulouslyyummygoodhavtodothisagainsoon kind of thing. When I want something good to eat in Newton Falls, Roby Lee's is for me !! I love the chicken parm with the angel hair pasta and I roast beef with mashed potatoes,.. yummy!!! Just great food, great people, very welcoming place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Small little bar for an after dinner whiskey,.. perfect!

Now here is a place I hadn't been to in years. And actually I really only remember going here for like a baby shower, and I believe a wedding reception. So when I came home for a visit, my Mom mentioned how she liked their salad bar and thats exactly what I'd be craving. Everything we ordered was hot and fresh and was good.We all ordered:-Grouper-Fried Chicken Dinner (2 Breasts)-1/2 Rack of Ribs- Grilled Chicken, smothered w/ cheese and onions (wasn't on menu but they made it anyways).The salad bar had two different kinds of soup, white pizza ( so good) and all the toppings you could want. Will be back next time I'm in Warren, because their aren't enough Salad Bars left around anymore and with me I'm pretty picky and particular what I put on it! :)

ordered a chicken parmesan . It has THE MOST delicious spaghetti sauce I have had in a restaurant in ages. Unfortunately I was just passing through on my road trip to Iowa. On the way back it was not convenient to visit again. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.

We've never been a dine in guest so I can't say anything about service or ambiance, but the food is amazing. The pasta bowl with the house sauce is so good. We used to order a couple times a week when we lived in the area. The food is always ready when they say it will be, so that's a plus.

Good service. Specials are usually good. Not many offerings for gluten free restricted diets, though.
