50 Best American Restaurants near Hollins

“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 !“

“We visited this restaurant two weeks ago, and it was so good we had to come back! I had the country fried steak, and it was absolutely delicious. We had the same waitress both times, and she was fantastic—attentive and on top of everything. Highly recommend!“

“Lucky has been one of our favorite restaurants for a long time. We love the vibe, the staff, the decor and the French-bistro style. With all that, the newish menu is a giant leap forward - it has the old favorite fried chicken and the steak, but some new entrees such as chicken and waffles that were absolutely delicious. My wife had the soft-shell crabs - one of her favorite dishes, and she said that crab was among the best she had ever tasted. If you have not been to Lucky in a bit - go!“

“Server was awesome, after we ate lunch, she offered to put in a bag of ice with our brownies, to take with us, since we had a few stops before heading back to Lynchburg. Stay away from the fried green tomatoes though!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Real people - cooking, serving, eating. Not fancy, but neither is my house“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“They have the Best Philly cheesesteak in town. I also highly recommend their homemade chili and vegetable beef soup. It tastes like mama soup“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“I went here today with some friends and was impressed with Wildflour’s red beans and rice with green onions! I highly recommend it!! Come on an empty stomach because the portion size is huge! My friends got a marbled Reuben sandwich and a black bean burger. They were very impressed with their meals.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“The food was good. The only complaint I have is that the biscuits were awful. Definitely not freshly made but frozen.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I go to this Golden Corral frequently. Pot roast, chicken livers, okra, and turnip greens are DELICIOUS! And, Mitzi is fantastic!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The best SWVA has to offer“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“I LOVE AMBER! she was so nice! The food was amazing, and so was the service! Love it, and highly recommended!!! ❤️😁“

“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!! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Delicious food and very quick service.“

“Ordered the bourbon glazed salmon and shrimp over rice with broccoli and loaded baked potato.got the carrot cake to go... The food was good just the broccoli was not firm enough.. The server was nice and knowledgeable... The croissant rolls are delicious...“

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