8 Best Southern Restaurants near Troutville

“Real people - cooking, serving, eating. Not fancy, but neither is my house“

“The food was good. The only complaint I have is that the biscuits were awful. Definitely not freshly made but frozen.“

“I go to this Golden Corral frequently. Pot roast, chicken livers, okra, and turnip greens are DELICIOUS! And, Mitzi is fantastic!“

“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 our first time eating at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, and we stopped here while on a road trip. We had never tried this restaurant chain before, but after this visit, we would definitely eat here again.

I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. The country fried steak was really good and had a nice crunchy batter on the outside while still being tender inside. There was plenty of gravy over the steak, and the mashed potatoes and gravy went perfectly with it. The portion was also huge, so you definitely aren’t leaving hungry.

My wife ordered the steak and shrimp with green beans. Her steak was cooked well, the shrimp had good seasoning, and she enjoyed her meal as well.

One of our favorite surprises was the croissants they bring to the table. They were warm, sweet, buttery, and almost tasted like a dessert. We loved that the first ones were complimentary, and honestly, charging about a dollar each if you want more afterward isn’t bad at all. They were good enough that I could see ordering extras.

The service was also very good. Our food and drinks came out in a timely manner, and we never felt like we were waiting around for anything. Everything from sitting down to getting our food went smoothly.

Overall, this was a great first experience with Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen. Good food, large portions, good service, and reasonable prices for what you get. Since this was just a stop during our road trip, we didn’t know what to expect, but we were glad we gave it a try.

We would definitely visit Cheddar’s again, and when we get back home, we’ll be looking to see if there’s one nearby so we can try some other things on the menu.“

“I tried this place out and it was so good, it is seat yourself and you have to walk up up to the counter no wait staff like you would think, friendly staff clean dining area/kitchen 20/10 will be back“

“This particular Bojangles is a place where Spanish is spoken 100% of the time, and that makes it unique. I have often seen the employees subjected to constant harassment by white people simply because they are Latino, but let me tell you, the genuine humanity found here is incredible; I go there often to grab a bite, and I am always met with a smile from the staff—something I don't see in places staffed only by white workers. Latinos have a wonderful way about them.

Almost all the reviews for this place are terrible, but let me tell you, it’s simply a matter of discrimination; 90% of the employees here are Latino, and I constantly witness the extent of that discrimination—from the way people speak to them to the way they toss money at them. So, don't let the negative comments put you off; go see for yourself and enjoy your meal—you'll see it's not a bad place.“

“Bos is always a good go-to. Never have any issues with the food. The workers are also friendly for the most part. This trip I tried a couple newer menu items- Peach Iced Tea and Blackberry Cobbler...both were delicious and you can't beat the price ($2 ea). The only thing I wish this Bos had was online ordering and/or an app. It's hard when you can't see the menu until you drive up to the speaker and then there is usually someone behind you and you don't want to take a long time looking at the menu and ordering.“
