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.
Creative food that is delicious and super yummy and crafty cocktails

We went for restaurant week and had an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely delicious and our waiter was very attentive to us. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We had such a nice evening. Would definitely go back!

I made a reservation online and was able to walk in and be seated with no issues. I had the Reibekuchen, white stone oysters and an Aperol Spritz. Everything was delicious. The service was great as well. Thanks!

The food was really good and it was an interesting atmosphere. The service was a little slow but to be expected on a Friday night, I think. It was my first time going there based on a recommendation. I would go back if I'm ever in Roanoke again.

Our favorite date night spot! Great overall vibe in the restaurant, super kind and experienced staff, and amazing food. Best garlic aioli I’ve ever had, and I’ll always get their cauliflower au gratin as a starter.

Fantastic experience. Went here with my wife for a date night. First off our server Zac was excellent, just the perfect amount of attentiveness. Next the food was comparable to anything we had in Napa Valley. The duck empanadas were great, and the steak frites was cooked perfectly. Also a great whiskey collection with hard to find bottles like Wellers and Taylors.

We discovered The Side Car last year while traveling. Made sure to stop back again this year on similar journey! Amazing craft cocktails and food! Nice atmosphere and a fantastic staff that is welcoming, genuine and very detail oriented. Gabe took great care of us and his recommendations were spot on!! Highly recommend!
Enjoyed a date night here! Excellent service from Caleb! He elevated the dining experience with his charm and understanding of the menu items. I loved the Christmas decorations and the atmosphere of the restaurant. I would have liked for the portions to have been a bit larger, they did feel a bit on the small side for the Charcuterie board and mixed drink.

Everything about our dinner was great. Our server Stephanie was friendly and attentive. The happy hour oysters were fantastic and so were the seared scallops! The house made sausage also great! For dinner the sea bass which ended up being barramundi was cooked perfectly and the risotto also great.. would recommend this place to anyone. And if you are a bourbon lover, try the barrel aged black Manhattan! Very good..

We were excited to try sidecar when visiting Roanoke. The cocktails are creative and reasonably priced. The beer menu was great. The Foie Gras was very tasty and innovative. The Poutine fell short of expectations (I guess Canada still rules this dish), and the Steak and fries were good, but not noteworthy. The server was very helpful and attentive. We were surprised how quickly the food came out and did feel a bit rushed through the meal. Overall a nice place to eat.

This place has a lot to offer. Pros: Beautiful Ambiance: A visually appealing space that sets a great mood. Comfortable and Cozy: Perfect for relaxing with friends. Delicious Food and Drinks: A solid menu with tasty offerings. Cons: Staff Service: While the staff is acceptable, they could be friendlier and more attentive. Overall, it’s a lovely place to enjoy good food and drinks, despite some service shortcomings.

Honestly one of the best restaurants in Roanoke. The food is unique and delicious, the drinks are amazing, and the servers and bartenders are great. It’s perfect for a girls’ night out or a nice date night.
