40 Best American Restaurants near Troutville

“Always outstanding!“

“😀My wife and I loved the waitstaff, and our waitress was super. Enjoyed our meal.“

“This restaurant had fresh interesting flavors in the different dishes we tried. Friendly service.“

“We came through Roanoke and ate at Hollywood Restaurant & Bakery. Food and service were fabulous but I want to rave about their customer service after we left. I called a few days later because I had left a jacket on the back of my chair. I asked if I could pay to have it shipped to me. They offered to ship it for free. It arrived at my home in Chesapeake, VA in great condition. Thank you so much. That is true customer service.“

“What a wonderful surprise on our travel day near Roanoke! The outside of the building is nothing notable, but the food is absolutely worth the drive to enjoy a fresh, tasty and filling breakfast. I ordered one egg, biscuit and grilled ham. The egg was cooked perfectly, the biscuit is by far one of the best I have ever had (even in the deep south), and the thick slices of ham were delicious and very plentiful. That biscuit was fresh, soft, tasty, and a good size. I had to get another on for a take out, and my husband did as well... though he added chicken to his biscuit. He ordered 2 pancakes for his breakfast, and they are thick, tasty, and the size of a dinner plate! He couldn't even finish them! I highly recommend this place, and Mary was a very attentive and friendly server/waitress/hostess. My husband said he will drive the 45 minutes there (each way) any morning just to have breakfast!“

“Some probably have already been here, but this was my first time eating here on the restaurant side. If you haven’t already, be sure to swing by and give them a try! That salad was HUGE but all those veggies were probably the freshest I’ve ever gotten anywhere! And those season fries/chips were made to order, so hot and fresh, and cooked right! The server was working both the restaurant side and the bar side. There were like 2 birthday parties happening over there. But she managed to work both sides, not feeling overwhelmed (or at least she didn’t let it show) and was always friendly and was smiling. What a great personality! If you’re looking for some place different, y’all swing by Don Ho's Restaurant & Lounge and give them a try!“

“Today, was my first visit. The customer service and food was remarkable! The price and portion was very satisfying. I will be visiting again. Thank you!!“

“Horrible experience. The descriptions on the menu are inaccurate. I went and had lunch with my 86-year-old mother. We ordered salads. She ordered Cobb salad and I ordered the fried chicken salad, because the description says it's served on a bed of "mixed greens". I hate iceberg lettuce. When my salad came, I ate the fried chicken tenders, but complained, because the salad was nothing but iceberg and romaine lettuce. The young, so-called manager, named TJ, was very rude and unapologetic and told me that lettuce is mixed greens. He told me if I wasn't happy, I could go to cooperate, in which I did. I was truly embarrassed by how I was treated in front of my mom. Update: I spoke to the owner Bob, he was super apologetic and embarrassed at how his employee treated us. He said the menu has been the same way for 30 plus years. We discussed how lettuce and mixed greens are NOT the same thing, and is misleading on the menu. I know after speaking with him that he will do the right thing.“

“the service was amazing and the wings were fantastic! 10/10“

“Great place for a beer and a dog, or other bar food. Staff is super nice. Food is very good, and the beers are reasonable. Plus, Mich Ultra on draft for $2 all day every day. I love this place.“

“I've been to Pollard 107 in Vinton several times, and the food is always great! The staff are consistently pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“The food was great the service was great had a great lunch“

“Today’s buffet at Smiley’s was absolutely delicious! The food was all seasoned well, hot and just so good. The desserts were amazing!! I wanted to eat more but I just couldn’t eat another bite! If you haven’t tried their Sunday buffet….you should.“

“Venus was absolutely sensational. She made our 58th anniversary totally memorable with six of our ten children and their spouses and ten of our thirty grandchildren. Thank you again for a most wonderful evening.“

“Great food Rodney cook it as ordered, All ways, each time, as ordered, Great service even though the restaurant was busy Our waitress was great“

“Ordered Philly Cheese Steak and it was edible....kind of like a dry roast beef sandwich. Couldn't taste or see green peppers, onions and CHEESE which is what a Philly CHESS steak is supposed to be.“

“was my first time there tonight and Mike and Adrienne made it fab! had a group looking for pool and pizza and we lucked out with them!! will def be back!! ❤️“

“Had a delicious meal with family last Friday. The fried chicken and hot veggies were awesome and we had exceptional service. All 5 of us enjoyed our food and even had some leftovers due to the large portions.“

“Needed to grab a quick bite and you can always count on Zaxbys providing good food. Lavern was welcoming and attentive as she took our order. We told her we were influencers that like to travel around & review places as we go with positive vibes. Cookie was fresh and delicious.“

“So happy we found this restaurant after a very lengthy overly delayed flight\ngetting here. Could not have asked for a more diverse menu. If you can not find something on their menu then you are not hungry. You can even eat healthy if you chose! That said they have so many wonderful things to splurge on. Onion rings, chicken tenders, burgers etc.. we had grilled fish and steak that were very good!! We will be back as we visit family here and will tell all extended family haw nice it is. Do be prepared for a wait as it is quite popular obviously with locals too.“

“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!“

“This was my first visit. My bartender helped me with my order of a great tasting Imperial Peach Cider along with chicken wraps and fries. Everything was great! I really liked the fries. I'm not a huge fan of thick fries. These fries were cut in a unique way where is was slightly thick on one end and thin and crispy on the other. I'm definitely going back to try more food and drink.“

“Great southern cooking for breakfast and excellent from Gail!“

“I give Lew’s Restaurant Southwest 💯💯💯💯%on everything. Great service, good food, and definitely not too expensive. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. I’ll definitely be back“

“I want to say how good the catering was for my wedding!! I appreciate everything you did!!! Great food and was set up perfect!!!“

“Stopped in for the "best wings" in Roanoke and they didn't disappoint! Customers and staff were so friendly. Can't wait to visit again.“

“This place is perfect for a big dinner party or a romantic celebration. I have never left hungry or disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing - make sure you try the Escargot!“

“Great food and super friendly service! One of our favorite stops in Roanoke for breakfast!“

“I have eaten here for decades. I have never gotten a bad meal or bad service. The patrons here are mostly families and senior citizens...just good folks. This morning one of of those good folks anonymously paid for my meal. I teared up with gratitude. The fact that the person/persons did not want to be identified said a lot about his/her character. It also says a lot about the fact FA attracts Good Folks...not just for food and service but also there is good Karma here.“

“the very worst management you'll ever encounter.Ask me how I know.“

“I’m giving this all around good review mainly due to the fact I had an issue and Mark Myers was able to correct everything not sure if he is the GM or owner but I know he’s a good person and will take care of you the food was perfect place was clean too.“

“Always fast service and server always knows what we drink and brings to table as we get seated“

“Very good breakfast and burgers!“

“Always enjoy Sunday breakfast at Dennys on Orange Ave. in Roanoke, Va. The food is great and served exactly as I custom order. Employees are friendly and remember me. Sabrina is often our waitress and I could not ask for a better server!! Give it a try.“

“Good afternoon. I’m really not trying to be disrespectful in any way but I’ve been a regular at this location since I moved Roanoke in February 2025. I’ve noticed in the last month that the crowd is really falling off. I’ve also noticed that the AC has been out for about the same length of time. Now you guys thrive on older people who are regulars. Old folks just ain’t gonna do that heat. I also noticed that you guys relined parking lot. Problem is most days is not but a dozen cars in the parking lot. Now my thoughts are if you can’t afford to fix the air conditioner, but you can redo the parking lot. You really don’t care about us old folks. Hopefully you guys can get it resolved soon because I really do like that little restaurant.“

“Good food and great service!“

“good food fast. friendly service, just love it when they all say hello as I walk in“

“I've been eating at Crown's Chicken for years. As an honest review I will say I do not like the chicken. As others have comnented, it has a tough texture and not a whole lot of flavor. I'm assuming it's under heat lamps for aby amount of time. However, the double cheeseburger is absolute fire. The Gyro is really good too. The fries are always hot and unsalted (though typically the drive through guy asks if I want salt + ketchup on the side. The staff is nice although I really only have interacted with the drive through operator. It's been a pleasant experience. The prices are very competitive. Id rather spend my money here than a national fast food chain.“

“Best one we have been to.. waitress was very friendly. Food was great..“

“Me and my mother went to the Red Robin located in Roanoke, Virginia. Our waitress named Bambi or however you spell her name. She got my mother's order wrong after she stated what she wanted twice! She hardly checked on if we needed anything else but checked on other around us. Very very late with serving us. She was off talking to some other man that was sitting not too far with us knowing we needed service. She was also seen by me drinking alcohol and sticking it behind the bar. When she walked by and she smelt like straight alcohol, can't tell what specific but it was just terrible service. I normally have amazing service going there but after today I WILL NOT be going back for a while!! PS: she did not get a tip from either me or my mother.“
