We found this place by accident when the breakfast restaurant we were looking for went missing (we couldn't find it).
The owners are very friendly, the food is great and the prices are straight out of the 90s.
You do need to know that this place is cash only, but they have an ATM right in the restaurant.
Make sure that you stop here for breakfast or lunch!

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!

What a gem! I'm not sure I've ever experienced a friendlier welcome and lovelier customer service. The egg and home fries plate was fantastic and when I saw someone's lunch come out I wanted to return immediately.

They are genuinely some of the kindest people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Their warmth and generosity shine through in every interaction, creating an atmosphere that feels more like being welcomed into a cherished friend’s home than simply dining out. This heartfelt hospitality is beautifully reflected in the food itself, each dish prepared with love and care that elevates every bite. This experience has truly been one of the most delightful and memorable I’ve had since moving to the area. The quality of the food is beyond compare, a testament to the passion and dedication of the cook.

Family owned and operated, this is a classic local diner from Roanoke’s post-war period, except it not only serves American breakfast and lunch, but also Greek fare. The stars I provide are for the overall authentic experience, the survival of the place, and the fact that I showed up a little before closing and they took care of me like family. I will be back to try the Greek dishes.

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.
Great prices (cash only) and an authentic diner atmosphere!

Went for lunch while in town visiting family. Quick service, delicious food. Dad and kids loved it. Cash only and street parking.

I’ve always loved Paul’s, and used to take my friend, Freddie Hale, there for lunch. Demos was always so good to him.

What do you need to know before you eat here is that they only except cash. But their food and service is phenomenal and for a great price. Their baklava is unmatched. 10/10 recommend
