“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.“

“What a fantastic chain of restaurants. This is my third visit and first to a different establishment. It was JUST as good as my previous visits to other locations. Food is so very fresh, and fantastic. The staff are wonderful and helpful in every way. The place is bright and extremely clean. The music tends to be loud but they are accommodating to sensitive hearing visitors.

I can't sing enough praises about how good this place is. Extremely highly recommend!“

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

“The manager noticed that I needed help and came over to assist me because I wanted to order takeout but, I was at the main entrance. She escorted me over to where I could order takeout on the other side of the restaurant. That showed great customer service. Kudos to the management staff.“

“We have been here twice and the service and food are excellent! We enjoyed dinner and breakfast. This has become one our favorite restaurants. We really enjoyed the jazz music at the dinner service last night. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Food was amazing. Services was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“The food is well-prepared for what it is-- very crispy and nicely-seasoned chicken, smokey green beans, and proper cajun pintos. And the best biscuits available at any fast-food restaurant, bar none.

The leg and thigh in my 2-piece dinner were incredibly tiny, though. Not sure where they source their chickens, but I've never seen one in a grocery store with parts that small :-(

I used the drive-through, so I didn't check out the inside. The staff at the windows were very nice.“

“I recently ate at this location and was so impressed by the freshness of the food, the service from employees and the cleanliness of the dining room. I don't often eat at Bojangles, or fast food in general, mainly because increasing prices don't often match the service or quality of food, but this was an exception, and I'll gladly be back. Great job, Vinton Bojangles!“

“Love love love the fish sandwich! Every time I take my first bite I still say hm mm this mtf good but i will say yall getting smaller now with them. But keep the fresh taste great seasoning going. And..... I'll never buy another sandwich doubled bc the fish is smaller in size. I'll just go to Cafe express where the meat be meating every time BUT yall still got some good fish sandwiches“

“On July 27,2025 Schaeffer Memorial Baptist Church in Christiansburg, VA was the host of the annual joint worship service with Cambria Baptist Church. The 3pm service consisted of Cambria Baptist choir singing and blessing the congregation with beautiful songs. The Pastor of CBC delivered a powerful message of Christian unity. After the service SMB provided a delicious and tasty dinner.

Schaeffer Memorial Baptist Church had purchased over eight (8) pounds of pork bbq from Due South BBQ. The BBQ was a hit. Everyone spoke about how much they enjoyed the tender delicious bbq. Folks wanted to know where SMB had purchased the BBQ.
Folks raved about how tender, lean and tasty this BBQ was. Everyone throughly enjoyed the BBQ from Due South BBQ. I highly recommend Due South for the delicious food, desserts and the atmosphere is amazing. The new owners of 2 years have really taken Due South to a new level. In my opinion it’s the best BBQ in the Roanoke, NRV and Southwest Virginia. I highly recommend Due South BBQ. It’s definitely delicious 😋“
