Wine Bar • $$
“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!”

“Our server Ava was awesome she was attentive sweet have great advice on what to order. The food was beautifully presented ( don’t judge by our pics we had driven 10 hours and were very hungry lol. We had the clams and Barrata appetizers they were fabulous and the sauce from the clams was fantastic ( we took it home). The bread that came with it was soft and yummy.
For dinner we had Mafaldine and the Bucatini. I had the bucatini and the sauce was fresh and a beautiful shade of red, not overcooked with chunks of tomato. The bucatini was cooked to
Perfection and it was hot but not too hot.
The Mafaldine my husband got had big shrimp and it was very savory - had a very pancetta taste. Very good.
We will be back when we come to the area again!!”

“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”

Modern European • $$
“We’ve been coming here for years, and it’s still one of our favorite local spots. The atmosphere is always inviting, the service was excellent as usual, and the menu continues to offer some creative and delicious options.
This visit was a bit of a mixed bag. The Crab Louie was outstanding, with generous chunks of crab and great flavor throughout. The cocktails were creative and enjoyable, although they seemed a bit weaker than we’ve experienced in the past.
My only real disappointment was the frites. They’re typically one of my favorite items on the menu, but this time they were overcooked, and for the price, I expected them to be much better.
Even with a few misses, we’ll absolutely be back. Consistently good restaurants are hard to find, and this remains one of our go to places in town.”

“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.”
American • $$
“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 got the chicken fried rice which came with an egg roll and it was delicious!! My daughter got the generals and just wow! She said it was the BEST she had ever eaten!! I tried it and agree!! Let’s talk about the portions.. we ate so much and still took home two boxes that looked like whole entrées. I love the atmosphere. It was quiet around 3 PM in the afternoon. We just loved it so much. I don’t know how we had never tried it before, but we definitely will be back and we have told so many people they simply must go eat at Wok n Roll!!! Go!!”

Always a friendly smile and conversation from Kipper (the owner) and the rest of the staff. You can even bring your pup and get a free treat for them! Definitely worth the visit and you can bring the whole family and not break the bank. They even have a loyalty program ☺️”

Ramen • $
“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.”
Pizza • $
“My daughters and I randomly chose to try Blaze Pizza for the first time because it smelt so good when we were going to get our hair cuts next door. We were not disappointed! From the moment we walked in the door, confused about the process, we were greeted and helped. Issac was amazing from start to finish. He explained the different choices and worked with my daughter to build her perfect salad. He checked on us while we ate and helped us take what we didn’t eat to go. So top tier service. And the food, soooo good! No complaints except we didn’t have enough room to finish it all. Thank you again and we will be back very soon!”

The fried rice is perfect, the Szechuan beef was just the right level of heat, and the orange chicken was exactly what my son was craving. The quality and flavor was so good and it was just under $20 for lunch for 2 people.
The restaurant looks so unassuming from outside, but that’s where they hide the magic. Their lunch specials can’t be beat.”

“Here goes another 5 stars (seems like all this place gets)
First I loooooooove southern Indian food. We are from Richmond, so maybe this is super common in Roanoke. I’m not sure. But I’m so happy to have it to try. And it did not disappoint
And it did not disappoint! Dosas are the best! And they have a bunch of different southern Indian delicacies along with Indian sodas (also delicious! You should try).
The woman working was so sweet. So accommodating to anyone who’s first time it was.
They have a nice little spot right off the road. Quiet. A nice little covered area so you can sit outside and enjoy. All the tables and chairs are bright and there are little flowers everywhere. A great place for kids or dogs or larger groups.”

“I’ve frequented this establishment over the last couple years and I’ll have to say if you wake up hungry for breakfast this place is where you want to go!

“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!””

Evelyn is so amazing and really works hard to make the place what it is.

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.”

The Cashew Chicken, Massaman Curry, Teriyaki Chicken, and Panang Curry are all excellent as well! By far, the best Thai food in town! Check any of these meals out and I sincerely doubt you’ll be disappointed.”

The baked potato was perfect, but the ribeye was the star of the show! I asked for it to be medium, and it was spot on. One my friends got an appetizer of some sort of fried shrimp, and it was amazing! Best meal I've had in a long time, everything was wonderful from the moment I walked in the place!! Highly recommend!”

She is a perfect example of employee that chooses to perform at her very best no matter the situation. Employees like her is why the rest of the company gets to flourish. She deserves recognition for her dedication. Thank you Kay for serving us. Follow your dreams, keep on and continue that journey to get your degree. The Miller Family”

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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We love Jaybird's! Incredible pizza with very imaginative ingredients, friendly service, great location. The only downside is the size of the place, I have a big family so we always order it to-go. But the quaint atmosphere also adds to the great vibes. My kids are always excited when we say we're having Jaybird's for dinner.”

“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”

“My husband and I have supported this place since it opened. However on Google it says open, the signs on the door say open and when we arrived, it was NOT open. This is disappointing because this place is very far from my house and I have a baby so it’s equally inconvenient.
I just feel like hours should be updated or maybe they shouldn’t have signs that say “open come in”.
The food is great and always fresh to order. We were looking forward to having lunch here.”

And that’s not a diss I’m just saying for the amount I paid I wouldn’t be able to get anything half as good anywhere else. They are affordable and delicious.”
