I stopped in by myself tonight and sat at the bar — and it was honestly the kind of night I didn’t know I needed. The vibe was super casual and welcoming, easy to feel comfortable eating solo but still fun and lively. The bartenders were awesome — really friendly, knew their stuff, and made great drinks. The food and dessert were both amazing. From start to finish, everything just felt relaxed, enjoyable, and taken care of. I’ll definitely be back!

We walked into B this restaurant after 10 pm on a Friday night and they were serving their limited m menu at the time. We ordered crab meat dip and a couple of sausages with Brussels sprouts shared side! The food was soooo good and the server was even better! Definitely would recommend this place.

The only thing better than the food was the server, Rainy. Made us feel like a million bucks. Drinks were done of the best I've ever had.

Our family got rejected on a Saturday evening 5pm. Restaurant was completely empty and they said they were booked for the evening.

We went to Lucky's around the corner.. a much better option! Lucky's is the spot to go!

What a wonderful, beautiful and elegant 😍 experience. We just had some small bites but we can not wait to have dinner or lunch. We came a bit late but our bartender was the best. Actually everyone behind the bar was fabulous. Thank you! Xoxo ♥️

I like the environment and most of the dishes are ok. However, I'm giving one star because I've literally got the worst oysters served raw in my whole entire life. I ordered a petite seafood platter which included 6 oysters. Not only these oysters are quite small and the meat was quite thin, they weren't fresh and washed properly. I complained this problem to my waiter. Although he went back to kitchen and replaced the remaining 4 oysters, they weren't better in terms of quality and freshness of the meat but only a bit bigger. After I returned home, my stomach was so upset that eventually I vomitted badly. This is from a person who rarely vomit at all. Additionally, I got diarrhea, too.

A Memorable Night at Side Car
We had an incredible dining experience at Side Car. The meal was absolutely outstanding, the lobster was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the charcuterie and fromage board was a beautifully curated selection that paired wonderfully with our drinks. Speaking of drinks, the beer selection was excellent, and the cocktails were both creative and delicious.
What truly made the night special was the exceptional service from Stephanie. She was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
Side Car delivers on every level, food, drinks, and hospitality. Highly recommended when visiting Roanoke.
Cheers the Australians

The food was good but not particularly good value. Staff seem distracted...or disinterested.

This is by far one of the nicest places to eat in the area. Unless you want to sit at the bar, make a reservation.

The service, ambience, food and speed of food delivery are all outstanding.

Come for happy hour 5-6 for really good deals, and Thursday has a martini happy hour from 5-8.

This would be a great place for a special event like a birthday or anniversary.

I liked the food, atmosphere, and service but everything was so expensive. They have a large drink list but I didn’t think there were enough options that were basic for non-adventurous folks (me). The bathrooms were immaculate. I wouldn’t come back solely because it’s so expensive but richy rich people would most likely enjoy this place.

We were just passing through Roanoke, an overnight on our way to Raleigh, when we stopped. The place was hopping so we sat at the bar to eat and drink. This place was a great choice. Terrific atmosphere, the bartender was attentive and good at his job - I can recommend the white linen cocktail if you're a gin drinker! But the food was the high point. Small plates are always a good choice for us since we like to sample things. We had oysters, duck pastrami, scallops, a funky salad (funky good) and the mushroom dish. All were excellent.
