Exploring Life & Business with Marisa Zamarripa of Phils Roadhouse and Grill

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marisa Zamarripa.

Hi Marisa, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Phil’s Roadhouse was established in 2005 by the late Phil Philipello. Cooking was Phil’s passion, and he wanted to build a family restaurant where anyone could come for great food and great service. From mouth-watering BBQ that falls off the bone, to hand cut meats and delectable chicken and shrimp dishes, Phil prided himself on all his fresh made-from-scratch recipes. Phil loved what he did and has passed his passion on to his employees and children. We strive to make our customers feel like they are part of the Phil’s family with our home cooking.

It is our goal to keep Phil’s dream alive with the same freshness and quality in all of our food.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
