Restaurants in Roanoke

“Excellent food and service.Just passing through and what a find!”

“When I say the food at THE HATCH was delicious oh my I can't wait to go back again. The atmosphere was wonderful and the waitress Amber was so nice and very attentive to us. I even bought food home to my sister for dinner. I told my friends about it and they will be visiting soon.”

“My family and I had a birthday party 01/05/25 there and it was fantastic . Amanda did wonderful job explaining things and even took a picture in a crab costume . Food was cooked perfectly !!”

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

“Samantha is a wonderful waitress, exceptional service !!”

“Tried your product at my company picnic.Excellent product”

“Bernard’s has consistently excellent food and libations. Great service and pleasant atmosphere!”

“We came through Roanoke and ate at Hollywood Restaurant & Bakery. Food and service were fabulous but I want to rave about their customer service after we left. I called a few days later because I had left a jacket on the back of my chair. I asked if I could pay to have it shipped to me. They offered to ship it for free. It arrived at my home in Chesapeake, VA in great condition. Thank you so much. That is true customer service.”

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

“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!”

“service and food were great. unfortunately they do not recognize any vet discount which is normally funneled back to wait staff.”

“I am in love with the Beet Vitality juice!!! Sooo so yummy and will definitely be back ❤️❤️❤️ Also, I highly recommended their new smoothie (my Mom brain 🤦🏻‍♀️ is forgetting the name, but it is advertised on their counter & orange)!! Thank you so much 🥰🤩”

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

“Why did it take so long to discover this restaurant in Roanoke? Sidecar has been here a few years but with not much fanfare. This is dining at its finest in Roanoke. You will spend some money but the service and food is excellent. I was impressed with the great beer list featuring some of the world's best brews on tap, a great wine list, and cocktails traditional and new.”

“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!”

“This was our first time at Fortunato. We were dining before a show. The service was prompt, but not rushed, so that we could have plenty of time to enjoy our meal and get to our show on time. Well done!”

“The fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and greens are out of this world. They give you enough for two meals. The chicken is fried to order and incredibly tender. The greens are delicious and are shockingly vegan! They use smoked apple cider vinegar for flavor. For an appetizer, we tried the Akara, black eyed pea fritters. So good! I had a pear and bourbon craft cocktail that was smooth and delish. So good I had two. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is great. It's a small place with nice decor. Great bar! The music is not too loud. Overall, one of the best in Roanoke. I look forward to returning and trying some new items. You cannot go wrong with that chicken!”

“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😋”

“heard from a friend about the food food and friendly people so I tried it and she was so right they make their own sauce they r very kind professional and friendly prices r so reasonable I will definitely be back 😺 also posted a great review on my Facebook page can't wait to try the spaghetti thank u basil for a fun place to go with a drive thru it's awsome”

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

“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”

“ordered the chicken causa, blue lagoon and inka pollo. Really great food! thank you”

“This is our favorite place for a special date night. The food is always AMAZING!!! We have never once had a bad meal or bad service. I highly recommend the ahi tuna with crawfish risotto.”

“My husband and I first visited The Hotel Roanoke last year for a "mini-moon" after our marriage. This year, we revisited for our 1st Wedding Anniversary. To add to the festivities, we dine our first night at The Regency Room. The food is spectacular. The music is amazing. The environment is breath taking. The service is out-of-this-world! Would like to take a moment to thank the host for his hospitality, kindness and going out of his way to make each guest feel special. The second night of our trip he saw us walk by the dining room and followed us to the elevator to say "Hello" and to "Come see him again." I am still so impressed and touched by the gesture.”

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

“Dine on 12/22/2022. Prepared perfectly, presented attractively scallops with bok choy. Fresh oysters with tasty sauce. Highly recommend.”

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

“Frankie Rowland's Steakhouse 104 South Jefferson St. Roanoke, VA 5-Stars On the final leg of our sojourn around the Eastern Seaboard, we decided to try the highly rated Frankie Rowland's Steakhouse in ancient Roanoke, VA. Keeping a wary eye on my GPS (I didn't want to go missing) we soon arrived at our destination. Stepping out of the Big Boy Mobile with an air of equitation, we stepped inside. Having been here since 2001, one could argue they have become something of an icon in these parts, famously known for their selection of potables boasting over 120 wines and 130 liquors and offering 70 different kinds of martinis. I suspect, had this been around in the 50s, this would have been Deano's favorite haunt. When I partake of fine dining out of town, I really turn the Big Boy character on high speed since there is a less than 1% chance anyone will recognize me. This allows me to be an extra persnickety diner for sh*ts & giggles. Hunter is our waiter this evening and he truly rolled with the punches. I put him through the wringer with my questions, and he, along with the entire service staff, was amazing. This garnered a 100% tip. Yes, you read that right. I asked Hunter for one Sidecar Martini, a Caesar salad and a 20 oz Ribeye with a side of Brussels sprouts. Sitting back and reflecting on our short jaunt my companion and I leisurely awaited Hunter's return. My drink came before the meal, as requested, and was superb. Hats off to the barkeep. Snapping the required pics of the place, I saw Hunter returning with our grub. I could smell the steak from here, or someone's steak, regardless I was practically drooling by the time he reached our table. As I actually do posses a modicum of culture (thanks mom) I began with the Caesar salad. As one can see from the picture, the lettuce was fresh, dark green and crisp. The Parmesan was freshly shaved and the anchovies were bedded on top. This is the standard al Caesar salads should be held against. Masterful! Before I talk about the steak, I implore you to take a look at that picture. Now, look again. What you are looking at, loyal reader is the perfect steak. It is seared the correct amount and is just a beautiful shade of red on the inside. One bite and the meat practically melted on my tongue it was so tender. This had to be some of the best bovine flesh I've ever had the pleasure of masticating. Seriously, this was so incredibly good, I'm looking at nearby real estate. Not really, but I've a mind to! The Big Boy says, “If you find yourself in Roanoke for some reason, perhaps looking for the lost colony or within 150 miles, stop and eat here. Frankie Rowland's is in my Top 5 All USA!””

“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”

“Great food and super friendly service! One of our favorite stops in Roanoke for breakfast!”

“Very good breakfast and burgers!”

“good food fast. friendly service, just love it when they all say hello as I walk in”

“I go here frequently to fill up work trucks (they have plenty of diesel pumps), and then often grab a drink, biscuit or sandwich. Always been present and the place is clean and neat.”

“Wonderful waitress, decent pricing. Food was fresh and hot. My over easy eggs were cooked right. Those pancakes? Perfection! The SF syrup they use is delicious as well.”

“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!”

“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”

“Delicious! Grabbed the birria tacos while driving through town. Totally worth the detour. Great seating for good weather. Since it was raining when I stopped by, I opted to eat in my car.”

“Venus was absolutely sensational. She made our 58th anniversary totally memorable with six of our ten children and their spouses and ten of our thirty grandchildren. Thank you again for a most wonderful evening.”

“This place is amazing, I used to live in South Florida and it made me feel like home!! Can’t wait to go back!! We had a Cuban Sandwich and fried Yuka. It was so delicious 😋!!”

“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!”

“Best cheese burgersand onion rings”

“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.”

“While just about every place in the US has some variation of pho to offer, this place has a special Michelin-Star quality to it. I’ve had pho everywhere from Missouri to Southeast Asia, and this is undeniably some of the best pho I’ve ever tried. The broth is clean, rich, and flavorful, paired along with juicy and tender meats all topped with fresh herbs and veggies, making for a very soul warming bowl of pho. The atmosphere appears to be family oriented, warm, and quite welcoming. Prices start around $15 for an entree and drinks start at 75 cents for a bottle of water (free cups of water are offered), and go up from there. Overall it’s a delicious and comforting experience and I’d absolutely find myself returning here as the winter months approach.”

“excellent food. incredibly friendly staff.”

“If you’re ever in Roanoke this is the place to get the best coffee and pastries. Such a cute place, the staff is super friendly and the coffee delicious. We were there to be with our dad in the hospital. It’s so convenient to the hospital.”

“I really enjoy eating here”

“We specifically came for the Dubai chocolate covered strawberry dessert and it did not disappoint!! My other daughter got the bananas con crema and she loved it as well!! Y'all need to support this business!!! 10 out of 10!!”

“My husband I are huge Mission fans. They catered our wedding! Last night our food was subpar so I called over to explain the disappointment. Tony took care of us without us having to put up a fight! Needless to say, Mission will always get our business due to the stellar customer service!”

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

“Best pizza in the valley. Period. Premium ingredients, incredible people. You'll regret it, if you don't visit this place, when you visit the Roanoke area.”

“Today was my first time eating here. My Switzer burger was delicious as were the onion rings! I wish I lived closer to you than Bland County! I'll find an excuse to be back!❤️”

“This is by far my favorite take out spot in Roanoke. The food is always fresh, consistently well cooked and seasoned, and reasonably priced! Highly recommend over any others.”

“Dinner was excellent, we will be back soon!!”

“Been worse an worse every time service especially old workers way better an so was food”

“Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum”

“I have now been here twice and each time the Greek food has been great!! This place is cash only but they do have an ATM on site. I wish somewhere on Google it stated cash only.

I have had a Gyro dinner and Souvlaki Chicken Dinner. Both are great! Served hot with salad and fries. Both of my meals were to go.

The baklava is probably the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot. It’s amazing!!

The woman who I guess is the owner is very sweet and welcoming. I will add this place into my rotation.

As for atmosphere, it gives mom and pop old school diner vibes.”

“Hair in the food!! Yuk! I ordered mushrooms for a side with my steak. As I was eating them, I looked down and there was a hair in them! They took them back and brought more. I had already lost my appetite by then. My husband also ordered a side of mushrooms, when he was finished, he looked in the bottom of the bowl, and yep! You guessed it, there was a hair in his too. When I brought it to the managers attention, he said it's probably just part of the mushroom. NO!! I know the difference between a hair and a piece of mushroom. We were only discounted ONE DOLLAR, and basically laughed at. We will never go back again!! Update, I was finally refunded 100% of my money.”

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

“First time there in over 15 years! So much different & BETTER! The food & drink was so tasty! Our waiter, John, was super. We will definitely come back!!!”

“Great Food with good service. My favorite in Roanoke”

“Fantastic pizza! Great service!”

“Great Puertorrican authentic food. 100% recommend!”

“bad people working there who acost customers, and make 🐂💩 accusations. As you can see most of the recent good reviews are scams and spam good figure.”

“Blown away by my breakfast this morning, had to leave a review before I left the parking lot.
I had the fried catfish biscuit and added an egg on top, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. 😍
The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection, it was so good that I’m afraid to order fish anywhere else in the soon future because it won’t be as good as what I just had here. 🥲
We shared a half order of blueberry Nutella French toast that was soooo good.

Can’t wait to come back next time I’m back in Roanoke.

Parking: Parking plus overflow lot”

“Not only was my jerk chicken meal incredibly good. The portion was huge and it was a great value. I can't wait to come back to Reggae Grub! Will have the Ox Tail next.”

“This is my favorite Mexican place in all of Roanoke. They will make anything vegetarian for me, even if it isn't on the menu. They are so sweet and the food is delicious. It's an incredible value for your money as well. We always get multiple meals out of what we order. They're also one of the few places that do breakfast. It's a 10 every time.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“I really enjoy the ramen here compared to some of the other options nearby. There's only one downtown that beats, but this is a close second. I also swap the crab salad and dressing in the Chef's special to customize my bowl, usually with miso salmon and sesame ginger. Quick, filling and delicious! Matcha smoothie is pretty good, too.”

“Great food. Great flavors. Awesome menu!”

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

“They really have the best ice cream I’ve ever had and their elote corn is great too. They’re conveniently located right next to a grocery store so all their fruits and veggies are fresh. Really worth checking this place out.”

“I had the pleasure of eating my breakfast here! The coffee, great! My scrambled egg/ham quesadilla was so good! Great atmosphere, the restaurant was hoppin' and never lacked for service. I highly recommend this establishment. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Best pizza in town, even better staff!”

“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”

“This restaurant is one of our favorites and we visit frequently. The food is always good and the staff are always kind and attentive. The restaurant is also always clean and presentable, which we appreciate! Jess (the manager) is always so kind and is a pleasure to talk with. She made our family feel super special during lunch today and we really appreciate her kindness. Every time she is there she always has a smile and genuinely nice attitude. Thank you, Jess, and the rest of the Cheddar’s staff for always giving us a great experience when we dine in!”

“I have found the workers at the drive thru to be very efficient and friendly. Especially Ashley. It’s nice to have friendly people when you go through the drive thru.”

“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!!”

“The owner is a true Italian and does it right. He uses fresh ingredients and is not lacking on portion size. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious and I plan on trying many other things.”

“Been worse an worse every time service especially old workers way better an so was food”

“I've been eating at Crown's Chicken for years. As an honest review I will say I do not like the chicken. As others have comnented, it has a tough texture and not a whole lot of flavor. I'm assuming it's under heat lamps for aby amount of time. However, the double cheeseburger is absolute fire. The Gyro is really good too. The fries are always hot and unsalted (though typically the drive through guy asks if I want salt + ketchup on the side. The staff is nice although I really only have interacted with the drive through operator. It's been a pleasant experience. The prices are very competitive. Id rather spend my money here than a national fast food chain.”

“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.”

“went here for the first time and it was GREAT! you get tons of food for the price and the staff is fantastic!! I got the hibachi burrito, and it was so good. My daughter got the rice and lo mien mix with chicken and loved it. Will definitely be going back!!! I highly recommend you try this place”

“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”

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

“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.”

“This restaurant is really cost-effective! For only $17 per person, you can enjoy a sumptuous all-you-can-eat Chinese meal. There is a wide selection of dishes, ranging from sushi and seafood to classic Chinese stir-fries. The food is fresh and the dishes are replenished quickly, which is totally worth the price. The environment is spacious and the seats are comfortable, making it a good choice for gatherings or a simple meal. If you are looking for a buffet with high CP value, this is worth a try!”
