50 Best American Restaurants near Cave Spring

“The best diner in America! The customer service was excellent. We received our food quickly. The quality of the food was delicious. I had pecan waffles, over medium eggs with hashbrowns that came with ham chunks and melted cheese. I also had a T-bone steak. All good! I highly recommend this place.“

“I had only ever driven passed never stopped in, and I am so glad I did today! The Buffalo Chicken Philly wrap was phenomenal- the handcut fries also delicious. Wish I had room to try one of their deserts. Excellent service by Christine, my water never got close to empty.“

“I love going to Chip & Jo’s!! It feels like you’re taking a step back in time (in a great way)! You seat yourself when a table opens up—you better hurry because they fill up quick lol The food is delicious, the staff is so kind and attentive and the prices are unbeatable for such a good deal!! I’m always pleased when I go!“

“My sisters and I went out for a girls night during restaurant week. Initially, I was really irritated by the hostess Diana, she was very offputting. One of my sisters went to check the bar area and she went after her and told her to come back, which is crazy to me. We're not children. We know how to observe, look around and see if there are seats available and return to the hostess stand if we are unable to find a place. We almost walked out. She said there wasn't a table available for us and next thing you know here comes Macie (sp.?) to save the day. She was amazing!! She quickly said there's a table available here and pointed behind her. She was one of the best servers I've ever experienced in all of my years of dining out. She was knowledgeable. She was attentive. She was kind. She was personable and she was funny. Thanks to Macie we had the best start to our girls night out.“

“Sit down and take it all in. You don’t go here for the food (it’s great). You go here for the spectacle of 2 AM. I dream about their cheeseburgers and hotdog chili.“

“Tonight my soulmate and I experienced one of the better meals we’ve shared in months! The food was excellent. The drinks were superb. The waitress was excellent. To top it off, Shane Gillis personally made our meal! Will come back“

“Been going to Paul’s for over thirty years. Never, ever had a bad or even so-so meal there. The owners are there, they will get to know you and are always trying to please your eating experience. May I suggest you try it. It is not the high class Restr.. , but one you will find reasons to return. Tell them Dan sends his best!“

“Horrible experience. The descriptions on the menu are inaccurate. I went and had lunch with my 86-year-old mother. We ordered salads. She ordered Cobb salad and I ordered the fried chicken salad, because the description says it's served on a bed of "mixed greens". I hate iceberg lettuce. When my salad came, I ate the fried chicken tenders, but complained, because the salad was nothing but iceberg and romaine lettuce. The young, so-called manager, named TJ, was very rude and unapologetic and told me that lettuce is mixed greens. He told me if I wasn't happy, I could go to cooperate, in which I did. I was truly embarrassed by how I was treated in front of my mom. Update: I spoke to the owner Bob, he was super apologetic and embarrassed at how his employee treated us. He said the menu has been the same way for 30 plus years. We discussed how lettuce and mixed greens are NOT the same thing, and is misleading on the menu. I know after speaking with him that he will do the right thing.“

“Love Uncle D's for lunch but honestly have not had anything I would not order again. Friendly staff and great service. Delicious food great selection - Classic Americana home cooking.“

“very large place staff very welcoming and we had great food . big daddys small sub onion rings i had 6oz burger and fries with best ranch dressing . we go back again !“

“Delicious and family owned! I love supporting small business. It reminds me of the diners in Massachusetts.“

“Today, was my first visit. The customer service and food was remarkable! The price and portion was very satisfying. I will be visiting again. Thank you!!“

“Excellent Sunday brunch buffet! Highly disappointed that when i called ahead of time to ask if they had a dessert table, was told No. We had a party of 10 for a birthday celebration, so I brought a cake. When it was time to have our cake, i was told it would be a $1.00 a plate charge to have a dessert plate. Extremely turned off about that. Ruined our birthday celebration. Idk? Is this a thing? Never ever have heard of a plate fee.“

“Looking for a great healthy option for great food look no further. I was driving thru the town of salem and was looking for a place to get a bite. Stopped in at Elderberry's Salem, and the food was excellent fresh, and the staff there was wonderful. Stop in and check them out you wont be disappointed.“

“Traditional breakfast at a good price. I go often. You can get single items without combo sides.“

“I give Lew’s Restaurant Southwest 💯💯💯💯%on everything. Great service, good food, and definitely not too expensive. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. I’ll definitely be back“

“I had my first experience at Wildflour this weekend and it was far above and beyond my expectations! I ordered the eggs Benedict which were amazing! My husband ordered the French toast and it was so good I kept snagging bites of his! And of course I couldn’t go wrong with the bottomless mimosas lol. All In all, I wanna go back every Sunday!“

“I have been going here since the early 80's and it has always been a place that serves great food at a reasonable price. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with any questions. Love the owner Doc.“

“always a good time with great service“

“We went to have dinner tonight at Mac & Bobs. We sat on the patio and had Gavin as our server. He provided us with excellent service. He was attentive, friendly and went above and beyond. Excellent job Gavin! Thank you for an enjoyable experience.“

“We adore Rockfish and are so thankful to have them in the Village!! Amazing food, cocktails, and service every time!“

“The bartenders here know how to hustle. It was fun having drinks and watching them work. It was definitely bumping in there and that’s not really my scene. I still hung out because the service was top tier and the bartenders although busy were friendly and welcoming! A really good place downtown with a great liquor selection.“

“Absolutely, hands down one of the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in. From the very friendly and helpful staff to one of the cleanest restaurants I have seen. While in town on October 24th and the 25th, had dinner on Friday and was so impressed, I had to go back Saturday before leaving. Needless to say, when I return to Roanoke I will be staying in the same location to only have this restaurant 3 blocks away.“

“Mac and cheese was banging“

“Always pleased with the service and amazing menu“

“I decided to stop by New Year's eve to get something in my stomach before drinking. They were full but I was offered a seat outside and took it. The food is all great here. Tonight they had a man carding at the front door. A customer came up already with a bad attitude. He didn't want to be carded and was insulted for he had been coming here for years. The gentleman minding the door whose name was Chris handled it very calmly with no attitude even though the guy calmed he didn't like Chris's attitude. the customer was clear trying to start something but only received politeness. I saw that same guy trying to start it up with another gentleman watching the door. Great job to Chris. He was also nice enough to stop and chat with me and do his job. I was the only one sitting outside it was nice to be acknowledged. Thanks“

“Fine dining, excellent food and friendly professional staff.“

“I've been to Pollard 107 in Vinton several times, and the food is always great! The staff are consistently pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“Me and my husband got a #1 key west club sub a couple days ago , it was made by a nice gentleman and it was one of the best subs we have ever had! We had never got anything other than the yummy icecream but the food is fantastic too!“

“Best home cooked meals in the valley. I went there yesterday to get the pork chop lunch and it was great. 2 large pork chops, cabbage, Mac and cheese and a roll for 13.99. Mine was so good I asked for another to take home to my wife for dinner. check their Facebook page for dailey specials.“

“Love Bernard’s the food is excellent and the staff is #1“

“We usually go to Golden Corral on the weekends as a treat to myself and my boyfriend. I look forward to the hug I get from the front cashier, Tayausha, she is so sweet and kind. I had an issue with the app 1 time and she explained it to me and resolved my issue. Usually the first person you see or meet in a restaurant sets the tone for the experience and whenever I see her beautiful smile it makes my day. We refer to her as our GC daughter. You need to hire more smiling faces like hers she gives excellent customer service and is 1 of the reasons we come back.“

“Great first event with this venue. Few tweaks on service and food and we will be good. Scheduled another event for October. Thanks to all the staff members for working so hard.“

“Food was amazing. Services was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“I placed a special order for their cannolis after various recommendations and they were beyond a hit! What a great pair of owners in a quaint spot in downtown Roanoke. Extremely reasonably priced for amazing, fresh, handmade, REAL food. I will definitely return to try more!“

“Great food Rodney cook it as ordered, All ways, each time, as ordered, Great service even though the restaurant was busy Our waitress was great“

“Was craving a waffle, and this place came highly recommended. It did not disappoint. From "servers that assist each other and any customer in the place" to "a warm welcome and gratitude for having chosen them as we were leaving" to the "delicious food", it was a win all around!“

“Absolutely the best steak ANYWHERE around! Reasonably priced and prompt, friendly service. Their huge onion rings are the stuff legends are made of, along with their honey butter and rolls. I could eat here three times a day!“

“Been going here since I was 21 now at 31 it’s still my favorite bar in Roanoke.“

“Driving through Roanoke and this spot caught our eye, and it delivered.

The breakfast menu isn’t the standard diner lineup. There’s some creativity here. The biscuits are the headline: flaky, substantial, clearly made with care (and lard-the right way). The grits were creamy, well-seasoned, and exactly what you hope for in the South.

But the food isn’t the only reason to stop by. The staff treats you like you’ve been coming in for years.

If I lived in Roanoke, this would be a regular place.“

“Ordered Philly Cheese Steak and it was edible....kind of like a dry roast beef sandwich. Couldn't taste or see green peppers, onions and CHEESE which is what a Philly CHESS steak is supposed to be.“

“It will suffice until Roanoke gets a Raising Cane's.

Food is pretty good but the quality of the tenders tend to vary. Sometimes they're really good, other times they're a little rubbery. Their fry seasoning is pretty elite, and the chicken bacon ranch loaded fries are probably my favorite thing on the menu.“

“Great food. The waitress was so very friendly, attentive and went beyond to make our experience a pleasant one. Food is always served hot and seasoned perfectly 10 out of 10 times. Thank you, First Watch— you know how to do it right— from front door welcome, thru hot servings and GREAT SERVICE. We will be back!!“

“was my first time there tonight and Mike and Adrienne made it fab! had a group looking for pool and pizza and we lucked out with them!! will def be back!! ❤️“

“Delicious food and very quick service.“

“we had a wonderful experience from excellent service to amazing food. the woodfire grilled pizza was a family favorite!“

“Food seemed really good since it was my only meal of the day. But the salad ranch dressing seemed OK. I questioned it myself but server said its their homemade. Well 4 hours later when I got home I lost it all. Kept me all night and still suffering; now I'm thinking the dressing i tasted wasn't as fresh? Or something in the pot pie which I only ate part of it and took rest home. I don't have issues or food allergies either and this doesn't happen to me. But something surely didn't go as planned. 😳“

“We have been here twice and the service and food are excellent! We enjoyed dinner and breakfast. This has become one our favorite restaurants. We really enjoyed the jazz music at the dinner service last night. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Great brews, great atmosphere, great location, and fantastic service! Evan was wonderful!“
