“The best SWVA has to offer“

“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.“

“great homecooked food, friendly staff. best kept secret.“

“A nice place to grab a good home cooked meal. The prices were reasonable and the food came out very quickly. The waitress was very friendly and brought the check out and a refill when asked for though it was a busy time during Sunday lunch.

Parking: Free parking but it was busy and if it was really busy might have difficultly finding parking.“

“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.“

“The fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and greens are out of this world. They give you enough for two meals. The chicken is fried to order and incredibly tender. The greens are delicious and are shockingly vegan! They use smoked apple cider vinegar for flavor. For an appetizer, we tried the Akara, black eyed pea fritters. So good! I had a pear and bourbon craft cocktail that was smooth and delish. So good I had two. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is great. It's a small place with nice decor. Great bar! The music is not too loud. Overall, one of the best in Roanoke. I look forward to returning and trying some new items. You cannot go wrong with that chicken!“

“Sit down and take it all in. You don’t go here for the food (it’s great). You go here for the spectacle of 2 AM. I dream about their cheeseburgers and hotdog chili.“

“Dinner was excellent, we will be back soon!!“

“I have now been here twice and each time the Greek food has been great!! This place is cash only but they do have an ATM on site. I wish somewhere on Google it stated cash only.

I have had a Gyro dinner and Souvlaki Chicken Dinner. Both are great! Served hot with salad and fries. Both of my meals were to go.

The baklava is probably the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot. It’s amazing!!

The woman who I guess is the owner is very sweet and welcoming. I will add this place into my rotation.

As for atmosphere, it gives mom and pop old school diner vibes.“

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

“Excellent Sunday brunch buffet! Highly disappointed that when i called ahead of time to ask if they had a dessert table, was told No. We had a party of 10 for a birthday celebration, so I brought a cake. When it was time to have our cake, i was told it would be a $1.00 a plate charge to have a dessert plate. Extremely turned off about that. Ruined our birthday celebration. Idk? Is this a thing? Never ever have heard of a plate fee.“

“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!“

“I had my first experience at Wildflour this weekend and it was far above and beyond my expectations! I ordered the eggs Benedict which were amazing! My husband ordered the French toast and it was so good I kept snagging bites of his! And of course I couldn’t go wrong with the bottomless mimosas lol. All In all, I wanna go back every Sunday!“

“Delicious and family owned! I love supporting small business. It reminds me of the diners in Massachusetts.“

“My husband and I first visited The Hotel Roanoke last year for a "mini-moon" after our marriage. This year, we revisited for our 1st Wedding Anniversary. To add to the festivities, we dine our first night at The Regency Room. The food is spectacular. The music is amazing. The environment is breath taking. The service is out-of-this-world! Would like to take a moment to thank the host for his hospitality, kindness and going out of his way to make each guest feel special. The second night of our trip he saw us walk by the dining room and followed us to the elevator to say "Hello" and to "Come see him again." I am still so impressed and touched by the gesture.“

“Great brews, great atmosphere, great location, and fantastic service! Evan was wonderful!“

“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“

“Love VG! As a vegetarian, I have to say that they have, hands down, probably the best black bean burger that I’ve had in the Roanoke Valley. The onion pedals as a side were fantastic as well, especially dipped in the queso :)

Service always amazing. We sat outside on a beautiful day.“

“Hair in the food!! Yuk! I ordered mushrooms for a side with my steak. As I was eating them, I looked down and there was a hair in them! They took them back and brought more. I had already lost my appetite by then. My husband also ordered a side of mushrooms, when he was finished, he looked in the bottom of the bowl, and yep! You guessed it, there was a hair in his too. When I brought it to the managers attention, he said it's probably just part of the mushroom. NO!! I know the difference between a hair and a piece of mushroom. We were only discounted ONE DOLLAR, and basically laughed at. We will never go back again!! Update, I was finally refunded 100% of my money.“

“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“

“This restaurant is one of our favorites and we visit frequently. The food is always good and the staff are always kind and attentive. The restaurant is also always clean and presentable, which we appreciate! Jess (the manager) is always so kind and is a pleasure to talk with. She made our family feel super special during lunch today and we really appreciate her kindness. Every time she is there she always has a smile and genuinely nice attitude. Thank you, Jess, and the rest of the Cheddar’s staff for always giving us a great experience when we dine in!“
