The Roxbury@Auto-City

Hubby is a great fan of American food, I mean, not that kind of fast food like McD or Pizza Hut, but the genuine taste of American food that only available in the USA. It's kind of difficult to find a good genuine American food in this region. We eat out very often, we like trying different types of food, especially writting our experience in blog after trying them out. If we ever heard anyone saying any restaurant, or, there is any special dishes or great cook, poof.... off we go.

Recently, my friend (whom called herself as Mrs. Rain), was commenting about the food in Roxbury at Autocity. I told hubby about it and he said Roxbury is one of the only two restaurants outlets that we have not tried and we should give it a shot.

Roxbury has an outlet in Bandar Sunway, where their main biz attraction is actually alcoholic drinks. Although they serves food there, but it was never the main attraction. So, hubby was eager to try it out.


The atmosphere: The decoration is just so-so. It has about 15 tables in a big hall. It's ceiling is high that it's not normal to have such high ceiling in a restaurant. That makes it windy even if there's no air-con! haha. Their tables and chairs are no where near what we can call it elegant. However, you can have the feeling of space. This is what you can't find in other restaurant. Hubby likes the glass wall that surround the whole restaurant,which give us better viewing pleasure of outside the decorative Autocity .

The Food: It has variety choices of American food. Well, this is how hubby called it, as they served foods that uses the names that how American call them in the USA. Such as Buffalo wings (Spicy chicken wings), Pancake, 1/2 pounder beef burger, variety types of pizzas, steaks etc. Hubby spends his good 10 minutes to scan through the menu and finally decided to try his 1/2 pounder Beef burger. He simply loves it ! There is also Tortilla chips and Mexican Nachos for side biting. nmm... so tempting...

Not cooked ??



Big bottle of Lemon Tea.


For those who does not like American food, you can always try on Asian local food which Roxbury calls it as "Hometown Delights". A bowl of curry mee costs RM 12.50. Think twice before you order. ;-p

Offers:They have free meals for kids age 5 and below for Fri, Sat and Sun. Great, isn't it ? My kids have it ;-)









The Service: We were greeted by few waiters at the entrance and were lead by a waiter to a seat. He then disappeared and only came back with their menu few mins later. Well, I can accept that if the restaurant was busy. But, there were only 2 tables occupied with their food on table. No one came to get our order afterthat. That's why hubby got his own sweet time browsing the menu. :-D


Overall: Despite the poor service and the uncooked chicken wings, hubby will still step in here again because he can't resist the American taste of the beef burger. My kids too finished all their servings. Therefore, they'll have a 2nd chance to serve us a cooked chicken wing.? haha :-D
Their slogan " The Best Food in Town".

Yup, they hv another outlet in Bandar Sunway Seberang Jaya. Only attraction is liquor... I went there once in Auto City, didn't order anything and stepped out. Reason because apparently they dont seems to understand "International Language". Family finding it difficult to communicate especially old folks that doesn't understand National Language. :)

Looks nice and the prices look really reasonable!:D
Do they have fish or seafood items there? (I know Americans and most normal people like meat, ribs...) and I am just the outlier:p
