“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.”

“The staff is so kind, the bread is phenomenal, and the food is the best I’ve had in Roanoke. Enjoyed the wide variety of grocery options!”

“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.”

“Roanoke is lucky to have this place, soooo gooood!!!”

“Food was wonderful, service was excellent and fast. We will return for sure!”

“I walked in and was greeted with a warm smile and genuine friendliness. The best pizza crust (which is one of my main ways of rating a pizza), plus generous & fresh toppings (so tasty)! My favorite is the Margherita pizza! Service was quick and highly recommend!”

“Absolutely terrific! I highly recommend!”

“It’s been awhile, and I was looking forward to returning to this spacious, pleasant spot for wine, drinks and OUTSTANDING food. They have not disappointed. I believe they’ve upped their game with portion sizes (unnecessarily for us; great, well crafted food served beautifully takes time and attention) but my husband will take home half his Mill Mountain Charcuterie plate. More than enough for two. I inhaled the Spinach & Artichoke flatbread, as I did last time and probably shouldn’t have considering I’m just one person. We did the Richard’s Favorite Flight followed by a glass of bubbles for me and Maple Bourbon Smash for him. Bravo and cheers! Come on down!”

“the Dubai chocolate is amazing! Everything is so fresh and homemade we love it here ❤️”

“I was expecting the meal to be good, but not THAT good. Everything was outstanding. The chili crisp burrata was a must-get appetizer as well as the roasted olives which were so warm and buttery… chefs kiss. Both pasta dishes we got were perfectly cooked, brilliantly flavored, and proportioned beautifully.
Also a huge shoutout to the bar for having $5 mocktails! The bartenders made me the most delicious mocktail I may have ever had.”

“we ordered chilaquiles rojos with over easy eggs and a large quesadilla with tinga de pollo. the portions were generous and the food was quite tasty. we shared and this was enough for three people. they came with green and red salsa on the side. the chilaquiles came with fluffy tasty rice and delicious refried beans. we love the decor and the music: Marco Antonio Solis and other classics. we'll definitely be back.”

“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.”

“Very cool atmosphere, great appetizers & wine menu. Felt like a different city. Went on a Friday evening. ❤️”

“We had a long overdue quiet night eating slow and enjoying the moment. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is made for lingering. It's our first time, but Bloom is definetley our favorite spot in Roanoke. We'll be back, often.”

“The perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion! We made a reservation on a Thursday to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I have an (admittedly very annoying) food restriction that makes eating out difficult. I reached out to the staff prior to our reservation and told them about the restriction and they were able to make the dishes that I wanted without the allergen. Our service was incredible, our waitress was very attentive. I would come back just for the after-dinner coffee! Thanks Sidecar staff for making my boyfriend's birthday dinner so special.”

“Everything was delicious, I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.”

“This was our first time in Roanoke and to Martin’s. We had fast, friendly service and the food was amazing! My husband had the Mac & cheese with fried chicken on top and I had the Philly with truffle fries…yum😋”

“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”

“How long have you been scammed and how much did you lost? Because for me I got all my asset recovered with the help of the American Brokerage firm… You don’t pay any recovery feees. Check my profile and see how I made contact with Mrs Lisa the manager”

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

“Great food! First time trying and will def be ordering again!”

“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!”

“I've been dining here since they opened years ago. It's the best authentic Mexican cuisine around!”

“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.”

“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”

“Went to Ihop around 11pm and had an incredible experience with an amazing waitress- her name is Elizabeth and she was absolutely incredible.
The late night atmosphere and the fun laughs made my entire week”

“Don't usually go inside but had a little extra time this visit so I found a seat at a table and proceeded to enjoy my breakfast. Shortly, I noticed employees standing in the doorway greeting customers (some by name), offering refills on drinks, removing empty trays, etc. Nice new hospitality feature! Stop in at the Franklin Road store for a pleasant fast food dining experience!”

“One of Roanoke, Virginia corner stone has been providing jobs for the community for decades, making varieties of bagels and breads for the local stores in the nation.”

“Love the items on the menu. For us being in Virginia we should be in the conversation now on a state that has bbq.”

“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 coffee and staff. Got my husband a pumpkin spice cold brew and he loved it! He likes strong coffee and this was awesome.”

“The raspberry cheesecake is quite possibly the best ice cream I’ve ever had, the service is super friendly, and the environment is cozy. It’s a must try!”

“A big thank you to Mission BBQ of Roanoke for catering my son and new daughter’s wedding reception. We have always loved that they are strong supporters of the military and first responders and their food is consistently delicious. So many of their guests told us how much they enjoyed dinner and how good everything tasted. The staff was incredible and very helpful throughout the evening. They even kept the drink dispensers we brought with us filled without us having to ask. I had worked with two of the staff members at previous weddings and it meant so much to me that they personally requested to work my kids’ wedding. Seeing them there made the day even more special. Our menu included brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, cheesy potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans, cornbread, and rolls. We had plenty of leftovers that we were able to take home and freeze and everything reheated perfectly. I would recommend Mission BBQ to anyone considering barbecue for their wedding. The food was amazing and the service was excellent from start to finish. 😋 🍽️”

“Their Cuban food is the next best thing to being in Miami!! Everything we ordered was amazing. All our food was prepared fresh and the restaurant is super clean. The service is fantastic!!! A plus!! We can’t wait to visit Roanoke again just to eat at this restaurant!!!”

“If the weather is nice there is no better place to hang out and have a beer than their outdoor seating area. It's extremely nice, and the beer here is probably the best you're going to find in Roanoke. The staff is great, and their growlers are reasonably priced. They don't stay open very late, so be sure to get there early.”

“Just moved to Roanoke and have to find new places to go for dinner. Have been there for dinner tonight and would recommend this place. I had the pepper steak with white rice and vegetables and a spring roll. My husband had the Bai Lok Lak. All was very tasty. Restaurant is clean and Mario is super friendly and attentive . Will definitely come back.”

“Best cheese burgersand onion rings”

“Huge fan of this spot! I'm obsessed with their fresh noodles - they're always perfectly cooked, never overdone. I keep coming back for the black garlic paitan and spicy miso ramen, especially when paired with their fall-off-the-bone slow-roasted brisket and no bone in sight. It's the perfect combo! Service is always on point too. Already planning my next visit.”

“Definitely a good Viet spot in Roanoke. Will be back for sure. Pho broth was rich and flavorful, and the spring rolls were super fresh. Also, they give very good portions of meat in the pho.”

“Fresh fruit everywhere and delicious treats!”

“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 food is to die for! Everything is delicious! Definitely have to stop by with the family! Always a great time! This has been me and family favorite place to eat tacos!”

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Kevin and his team are friendly and nice.As Jamaicans, we finally found our spot.”

“Joe makes the effort to get to know his regulars. The food is always excellent and there's no concern about fixing your order the way you like it. There's a pride in that kitchen you won't find at any fast casual chain!”

“Grill and soup 10/10 went with friends and it was great! 👌🏼”

“What a lovely experience. Stopped in and had two fantastic cocktails. Dark rum and gin. Who ever is designing their menu has a varried pallet and knows flavor. Our bartender was kind and very engaging. I highly recommend stopping by while visiting Roanoke.”

“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!”

“Had dinner there recently and ordered Lasagna. It was so good, I highly recommend!”

“Great Thai food, curry, egg rolls, Thai beer and wonderful, friendly staff! Very accomodating with providing vegetarian options, too!”

“Freaking amazing and the food is 10/10!!!

Absolutely phenomenal — truly one of a kind.
This place is incredibly family-oriented, and you can feel the love in every part of the experience, from the food to the atmosphere. The staff is unbelievably welcoming; even while you’re waiting, it’s effortless to fall into easy, genuine conversation. They greet you with warmth, acknowledge you, and make you feel like part of their own family. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back, not just for the amazing food, but for the way they make you feel right at home.”

“I’m not gonna lie, the price at first made me nervous until I got the food. Big portions, tastes delicious, absolutely well worth the price. My god. Had a religious experience over a hot dog. This place is great and I will definitely add this to my list of regular spots to eat.”

“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!”

“Best ice cream around unless u want to drive to burnt chimney to homestead creamery.”

“HOY 01/03/2026 ME ACABO DE COMER UNA ORDEN DE SURRULLOS Y UNA ARCAPURRIA,Y EN VERDAD ESTABAN BUENICIMAS!!! RECOMENDAMOS LOS SURRULLOS Y ARCAPURRIAS,,DESPUES DEJARE SABER COMO ESTAN LOS PASTELES DE POLLO..💯🇵🇷”

“Absolutely fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and the service was fast and friendly. The fried rice and orange chicken were some of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely my new go-to Chinese spot”

“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Salem/Roanoke area. Highly recommend!”

“Great food. Great flavors. Awesome menu!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“I’ll start by saying we frequented BitS for many years largely due to convenience and price point. After awhile, we quit going in because of poor quality across the board. We are very pleased with the changes in the food and set up after a recent change in ownership. I prefer the ability to order from my seat vs standing in line. The buns are no longer soggy and fries are perfectly crispy. We received a warm welcome and excellent service this evening from a gentleman (uncertain of his name, but KD was on our receipt) despite a full restaurant. This young man is a valuable asset to the team and we will continue to return. Please give them a try!!”

“Fantastic pizza! Great service!”

“Great place, excellent food, small joint, but delicious homemade cinnamon rolls!!!”

“Love this place! Quaint, picturesque and good food and drink. Best red velvet cake in town,. Only one complaint: parking. Very difficult to park especially in the daytime. Nice porch, too.”

“I really enjoy eating here”

“best grilled cheese ever and so awesome for my celiac son.”

“My friend, our kids, and I stopped on our way home today and had the best experience. Everyone working was so friendly and kind and patient. The ice cream and chocolates are AMAZING. I had the lemon cheesecake bar ice cream. It was the best I’ve ever had. The sea salt caramels are soft and decadent. I’d go every day if I lived close by. We’ll stop in every time we go to Roanoke.”

“The food is so good! Can’t wait to go again!”

“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.”

“Amazing people serving excellent food”

“4 Star: Food: using less chicken with more rice as a filler for the ACP. Menu Cost: If you ask for a side of cheese dip, you will pay/receive the pricy appetizer only. Raised prices not shown on internet menu. $2 added to my bill!”

“The service here is always outstanding! Josh greeted me with a smile and handled a large, last‑minute order perfectly. This is one of my favorite Starbucks locations in town. I truly appreciate the entire staff—they’ve consistently treated me with kindness.”

“Best Chinese around I have ate at a lot of different restaurants this is the best. Everything on bars is fresh it has craw fish, crab legs .seven bars. Oh my I got to go again.”

“Love this place! Quaint, picturesque and good food and drink. Best red velvet cake in town,. Only one complaint: parking. Very difficult to park especially in the daytime. Nice porch, too.”

“I have to say I was disappointed tonight. I’ve been eating here for quite some time, but I must mention how awful the owner was to his staff. I overheard him belittle his staff on numerous occasions. He made a comment that if he had to be there, they were going to feel it. He called one of the staff junior a few times. A staff person brought him more of those little oil dishes, and he snapped that he didn’t need those. He seemed intoxicated by hugging on one of the cooks. There are plenty of other places to eat without having to watch this “show”.”

“Me and my girlfriend started coming here at Christmas time! We love the food. She and I love to get up and dance like we're at a dinner and a show. I highly recommend trying the garlic tater tots on the appitizer. OH MY GOSH they are the BEST tater tots I ever had. PLEASE try them if you like tater tots. We started coming here since after the start of 2025 to celebrate Christmas.”

“WOW!! I had not had Indian Cuisine in a long time. Now I know why I missed it so bad. TAAZA is AWESOME! The service was only 4 stars but the rest of the experience was 6 stars. The food was very fresh and SUPER TASTY! If you mistakenly over do the Spice level, eat the bread. It will allow you to breathe again!!!”

“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.

“Brews is my favorite hometown bar. They have good food and the daily specials are always on point! Staff and Owner always know what to serve you when you sit down. Small businesses like this one, give the Valley a good feeling.”

“Great fresh food, huge portions and great mix of Chinese and Latin foods.”

“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!”

“Love the pizza which we ordered this time, we have ordered in the past and everything has been so delicious, so far, we have had the Chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms and the cheesecake and cannoli also we have had the salad with chicken. This is our go to here at work Thank you so much everyone has been very happy”

“4 Star: Food: using less chicken with more rice as a filler for the ACP. Menu Cost: If you ask for a side of cheese dip, you will pay/receive the pricy appetizer only. Raised prices not shown on internet menu. $2 added to my bill!”

“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.”

“The staff is so kind, the bread is phenomenal, and the food is the best I’ve had in Roanoke. Enjoyed the wide variety of grocery options!”

“Lovely place. Enjoyed some beautiful jazz music with other lovely humans. The owners are kind and hospitable, food and drink on point. Great vibes!”

“Great people, wonderful food at a wonderful day.The taste was wonderful”

“First time there. In Grandin village. You sit down to a table with cloth napkins and a table cloth. The lady who waited on us was so helpful in explaining dishes. I ordered the ox tail meal and wife the shrimp creole. Both were great dishes. The gravy was so deep in its taste and flavor it was worth sopping up with the bread. We joined the clean plate club. The 2 dishes we had were the best creole dishes we have had in Roanoke. We will go back and try their other dishes”

“Incredible variety! Everything is very fresh! The staff is super friendly. The layout of the store makes it so easy to find what you like. The ambience is as sweet as the pastries.”

“Restaurant was very clean. Food was fresh and tasty. The menu is simple and easy to understand. I will go back for a breakfast bagel. Small local restaurant worth trying!”

“This little shop has great sandwiches! I had the teriyaki chicken sub lunch special delivered and it was fresh and hot. Good quality bread, white meat chicken. The fries are delicious—crunchy and not over salted. Definitely recommend!”

“Eggplant parmesan was delicious! Pizza was loaded with toppings! Everything was so good, Will be back!”

“A great coffee shop addition to the Roanoke area! It has quickly become a go to for our coffee outings. We love the historic house and the outdoor seating on the porch. The coffee is great and food is tasty!”

“I have been to this location three times. I have tried the boneless wings as well as the bone and wings and a chicken sandwich. Everything was hot and fresh, and the staff was very polite and went above and beyond to make each visit great. Definitely recommend.😊”

“Mac and cheese was banging”

“This was on DoorDash and I ordered for the whole office. The food was great and the cost was budget friendly. The food was packaged in a way that it stayed warm for an hour until everyone could eat.”

“By far, the best franchise sub shop in Roanoke. All establishments are clean, subs are consistent, and the service is clean and friendly. Subs are a bit overpriced but woth it compared to the other options.”

“I have to say it even though I love cookout and it’s probably my favorite fast food I can get in the area but this cookouts food is not the same as other ones I have been too it’s pretty close but it’s missing something it even seems to me that the burger patties are smaller or actually thinner and the ingredients where not as greasy or sloppy and loaded down, I even asked for double sides of cajun fries to go with my cheddar style big double burger tray and got what was in my opinion one side and also compared to the many many other times I have been to other cookouts. I also got the wrong toppings on my burger it was not cheddar style it was still pretty good and alright but not as good as usual overall and to a level that makes me not be so excited to go back again, but I will in hopes of an improvement or the magic ingredient they are missing right now to get mixed in. I also don’t know if maybe I hit them on a bad day or time but it was noticeably different because normally this is the best thing you can get and tons of it for around $10 and then less money if you want just something like a “walk-in taco” or a hotdog or quesadillas to fill you up. My favorite time to go is late at night when you are still up and nothing else is open too, but it’s got all sorts of comfort/country style food and it’s all normally really good and real ingredients cooked on a real grill and is a step up from your ordinary steamed fast food at other places. Also this location only has walk up or drive thru but two lanes of drive thru and it’s pretty quick to get thru, I don’t know what they are going to do when people really figure out that it’s here in this location because every other cookout every other time I have been to one of them usually has a line of cars stretching out the parking lot and there is no room for that here. Overall I think it’s still worth it and I would take a chance and go there again and that it will definitely be the way cookout has been at every other restaurant I have been to and the food will get it’s awesomeness, flavor and special style back the next time, I will be sure to write another review if it is subpar again but this experience was depressing and felt like loss, but if you have that experience or are worried there is another one in Roanoke that I can vouch for it’s place as best fast food to get at 2:00am or 2:00pm or any other time too”
