“Great little place with plenty of food, great service and good prices.“

“😀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.“

“After participating in the Sunflower Festival, we stopped by this unfamiliar restaurant on the way home. What we discovered was a hidden gem of great food, southern hospitable service, all at a very reasonable price.

The food options were plentiful and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive.

The only regret we have is that this place isn't closer to home. But I anticipate we will return as often as we are in the area.

We encourage you to stop by enjoy. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“My first experience was a great one. Very accommodating. Will definitely return.“

“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!“

“Kiera was wonderful but Lisa need a little improvement“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
