“My husband and I went in to try some lunch one day and it was absolutely delicious. We went back the next day to try the breakfast and it was hands down the best breakfast. We've now taken our family with us and every time we ask the kids where they want to eat, they always pick Chip and Jo's. Great food, great service. It's hard to find good food and good service like this anymore. We highly recommend!“

“Greeted with a genuine smile, rare these days. Southern charm palpable in the atmosphere. Busy, but attentive servers. Olivia offered a local ale, which was awesome. I had 2. Fried green tomatoes and chicken were crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. Just how I like it. The spice used on all items was more tasty and precious than on DUNE.Parking: Best is to park in either of the parkades“

“This is the kind of place you’d find in a bigger city! There are very few other restaurants in Roanoke at this caliber. Top 3 in the area for sure. Definitely recommend calling in for a reservation ahead of time - they don’t have long hours and fill up quickly. Cocktails are creative, and typically on point. I absolutely LOVE their Chicken Liver Mousse and my husband said the Oyster Rockefeller some of the best he’s ever had. The small plates are alright, but the entrees and dessert definitely don’t disappoint!! Love the cozy, intimate vibe - great for special occasions and date nights ❤️“

“My husband and I made a reservation after Valentine’s Day to eat dinner here and made it a month in advance. This is an extremely elegant fine restaurant never requires a dress code of suit and tie or evening gown. This is definitely not a restaurant that you can wear blue jeans, boots, and a T-shirt to.Our dinner was $240 but that is to be expected for a fine dining restaurant inside of a Hilton Hotel.“

“2/9/2024 Overall, an amazing experience! Brother Mike got "fancy nancy croissant sandwich" he said he was expecting more of the variety of ingredients that usually are in it, and I had 3 scoop plate(fruity fran, cranberry kelli, and dixie chick). I really appreciated the huge leaf of lettuce on the plate and would recommend that all the people who don't eat bread are to get extra pieces of lettuce to eat the scoops with. Now i have another idea with 13 different scoops to choose from, all 13 flavors on 1 plate and plenty of lettuce leaf to indulge in all CHICKEN SALAD CHICK has to offer. $24.78 for the 2 of us, we had water to drink. Place is clean, staff was friendly, spacious seating, plenty of parking.“

“Judging this only from the Easter buffet and not normal hours or menu, it was pretty good. The stuffed flounder was awesome, the pork roast was tasty, but not as tender as I would have liked, however please keep in mind that's just my opinion. The brussel sprouts were delicious and awesome! Salad was a little too fancy for my liking, since I'm a fan more of iceberg lettuce than fancy leaf lettuce. Overall I rated a four out of a five.“
