The Pitstop - Casual Dining KK sits comfortably in Maestro Square along Jalan Tongkuzu, serving up a straightforward yet inviting dining experience that blends Western and Sabahan flavors. This full-service restaurant draws a mix of locals and visitors who appreciate a relaxed atmosphere where good food and a decent drink list take center stage.

The environment is cozy without feeling cramped, offering both indoor seating and a covered outdoor area that suits casual meetups or family dinners. The presence of a Harley Davidson showroom next door adds a distinctive, slightly rugged neighborhood vibe that fits well with The Pitstop’s casual, laid-back identity.

People often come here to enjoy a meal with friends or celebrate small occasions, as noted by some who have hosted birthday parties highlighting the ample beverage options, which include draught beers like Guinness, Heineken, and Tiger. The menu is known for combining local favorites, such as Nasi Lalap, alongside Western choices like Grilled Angus Striploin, accommodating different taste preferences from local comfort food to hearty steaks.

Service here is generally friendly and patient, though it can stretch a bit when the place gets busy, suggesting a better dining experience outside peak hours. The staff's approach helps keep the atmosphere welcoming and easygoing, encouraging guests to linger over drinks or live music sessions that happen from time to time.

The Pitstop works well for those looking for a casual dinner spot in Kota Kinabalu that balances local and western culinary influences without fuss. Families appreciate the kid-friendly vibe, while groups of friends enjoy the mix of food, drinks, and occasional live entertainment. Early evenings or quieter weekdays seem ideal for a more attentive and relaxed visit, whereas weekends offer livelier energy for those wanting more buzz.

I had an amazing Birthday party at this excellent restaurant. Superb food and good range of beverages. Highly recommended. There is a Harley Davidson showroom next door. I’ve tried to update Tripadvisor details.

I had a great experience at Roadhouse Cafe. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for relaxing with family and friends. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and served fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I would recommend and return to.
