“We came here for the first time this evening. I ordered the shrimp in coconut sauce & my husband ordered the pescano relleno. Food came with two sides & a salad. My husband's dinner was loaded with crab meat stuffed into the filet. My shrimp was in a devine coconut sauce (they should bottle & sell). Portions were more than generous. We met & visited with the owners Don & Maria. You can truly tell they care about their customers experience. Highly recommend.”
“Good was better than expected. Service and atmosphere was excellent. The table side guacamole was huge but delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal and dessert greatly. Might be making this a weekly family dinner spot.”
“If you are craving tacos, I would highly recommend this place. Huge taco selection which is ala cart. They do have other traditional items as well but the tacos are killer.I sampled the fish, shrimp, and steak which were all amazing.They do have a small bar with margaritas as well.Go check the out, you will be happy you did”
“The staff here is great and it's the good waffle house food we all know and love. I only wish is that all waffle homes were larger so more folks can be seated without a wait.”
“Great food from fresh ingredients and superb service in an era of people not wanting to work. This is easily one of the best pizza places in the Roanoke Valley.Dietary restrictions: They have an entire halal menu.”
“My first time ate there! So impressive, friendly staff who tried to do his best to sign language to communicate with deaf customers which was so amazing!! We also ordered pizza and only waited for less 10 mins. Definitely had a good pizza. Appreciate it a lot, King! ???”
“Just had the best Thai meal I can remember. I am a fan of Thai food and found Nakhonthai in Roanoke by doing a map search and it is my new favorite. Very fresh and authentic! In addition to the excellent food we also had Outstanding service!”
“Great seafood! Got the shrimp and scallops with Old Bay and they were cooked perfectly! The potatoes and corn were also very good. Wife enjoyed the Shrimp Po Boy and crab fries. Server was great and the restaurant was very clean! We will definitely be back!Parking: Parking lot has plenty of spaces around the building.Kid-friendliness: Decent amount of kid food options and the restaurant is perfect for families.Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalks are low and make it fairly easy to navigate.”
“We had the jerk chicken, red beans and rice, cabbage and a beef patty. Everything was amazing…so delicious! The service was fast and the people are helpful and friendly! You should absolutely try it!”
“My wife and I visited Chris’s custard for the first time today it was very enjoyable even got to meet Chris great guy I also thought it was cool to see other people working there with a disability as well. It was also fast service and very friendly We will be going back there again for sure.”
“Food is expensive but usually very good. We're took some newbies but unfortunately the burgers ended up a bit more greasy then usual. But the deep fried oroes made up for it all!!!”
“The best barbecue in the area! Their Cubans are one of my favorite foods on Earth, and their pulled pork is always reliably moist and delicious. All the sides are great, too, especially the Brussels sprouts”
“Every time I come the staff is extremely friendly and the food is out of this world. A little cold for outdoor seating, so I just eat it in my car (I’m usually driving through and make a stop specifically for here). Fantastic options. I wish there was one in my city.”
“We decided to stop in Roanoke in the middle of a long road trip. Alexander’s ended up being a top highlight of our entire trip! From the service to the food, everything was top notch. The ambiance is sophisticated and relaxing with staff working as a team to make sure you enjoy every aspect of your visit. Every bite we took was delicious and you could tell was prepared with a high level of skill and passion. If you are in Roanoke, dinner at Alexander’s is a must!”
“Just, wow..in the best way possible... The worst part about coming to this wonderful establishment, will be trying to decide what you want to eat. I found myself ogling other folks' plates, as they were all so appealing as they came out of the kitchen. First off, I can't say enough about the people..just friendly as can be. Attentive...genuinely good people ❤️. I went with the fried catfish, and couldn't have been more pleased. The breading was perfect..crispy, flavorful, not greasy at all. The sides are equally loaded with flavor.. I went with the collards (and they are done right ?), mashed potatoes and gravy, and the mac and cheese..and sweet cornbread to boot (not overly sweet, and so moist). The ribs were/are equally delectable.. Solid southern comfort food, period. 10/10... spread the word, tell your friends..this place is a gem. I'm kicking myself for not having tried it earlier...had heard nothing but good things...and the reviews don't lie..can't say enough good things about these folks.. Thank yall so much, and can't wait to get back to try the rest of the menu. Oh, solid banana pudding, and next time it'll be the cobbler.”
“I absolutely love the freshness of their food, and this place has the best special guacamole I've ever had. The staff are welcoming and kind. I have nothing but good things to say. Every meal has been delicious. I'm glad it's so close to work.”
“My mother and I are traveling from NC to home in Pa. the hotel we are staying at recommended Hollywood's. the food and service was amazing. our server recommended all the food and after trying several things we know why. it was all delicious! our server Olivia was one of the best we ever had. (I was a server for many years so I know the hard work it takes to be one of the best and Olivia was the best) I hope when my mom and I left tonight we made Olivia's night. I recommend everyone try this place the food and service is AMAZING! if we ever travel this way again we will be visiting Hollywood's for sure!”
“Fortunato serves upscale Italian food in a pared down but trendy atmosphere. Yes, the semi/rustic style means diners either need to sit close together or shout to be heard. I was one of a weekday evening of a party of three all of whom love to try new food. Starting with the formaggi (cheese platter) to cannoli and semifreddo dessert, we were not disappointed. Each of us ordered a main dish. The vegetarian chose homemade pasta with a creamy cheese sauce; the meat eater, pork Milanese; and I, the roasted whole Branzino. I elelcted to trythis fish for comparison with similar dishes in a favorite Oriental restaurant. Fortunato’s Branzino preparation won hands down for me. The flesh was perfectly prepared - moist, tender, and almost falling off the bones. The side complimented the fish perfectly. I finished my cannoli accompanied by an espresso and a smile on my face.”
“Had the special today. Surf and turf shrimp and grits. I have had shrimp and grits from Key West to countless beach restaurants and it was by far the best I have ever had. Highly recommended!!!”
“Blue Cow is our go-to ice cream destination of choice with fun and unique flavors you won't find anywhere else! The atmosphere is cute and charming, but it can get quite busy and you might have a hard time finding a seat, but as long as the weather is nice there are plenty of spaces to sit down along the greenway! The only other thing to consider is the severe lack of parking. There are a few spots next to the building, but they are usually always full, and the business across the street does not take kindly to people parking in their lot.Parking: The parking is very limited and the lot across the street is not keen on letting people park there. Recommendation is to park and walk a little ways if you are able!”
“Very much a traditional family business. Absolutely service is there number one priority. Great owners I can tell from my own life experiences and there employees absolutely reflect the owners standards. If your looking for a great atmosphere and amazing food and service this is easily your first stop! Lol paid by life experiences and Noone else. All jokes aside a amazing place”
“We were taken to the restaurant whilst staying with new friends local to the area and to get to listen to the wonderful singer Annalyse Marie who was singing at the restaurant for the evening. - the restaurant Gusto is really wonderful with caring thoughtful staff but I have to say the food was truly wonderful ! I had the chicken bacon and Ranch Pizza and certainly never had this topping on a pizza before but thought why not give it a try ! I honestly with hand on my heart think this is the best pizza I have ever had in my life ! It was utterly delicious ! The right amount of cheese and sauce and a little messy but so worth it ! I keep dreaming about the pizza ever since ! I don’t think anywhere could beat how tasty this pizza was ! What a wonderful restaurant and if I wasn’t on a big trip I would absolutely return for more ! If you haven’t been to Gusto’s you’re missing out !”
“This was my first time at Rookies. It's hard to mess up cookies and ice cream. Everything was delicious and the service was great. I would recommend this place and I will definitely go back again.”
“We always have a Great Experience at Bernard's. Matt is Always so genuine he is an Amazing Server. We got our regular Butterscotch Banana pudding that is OMG delicious. We also got our regular order of BBQ wings they are so good also. We added Chicken and Dumplings this time and see we will definitely get it again, it is full of ingredients. Thank you to the Bernard Family.”
“We always stop by Joe's Deli when we travel through the area. The first thing you will notice about the sandwiches is how heavy they are in your hands and once you unwrap the sandwiches you will see the amount of goodness it is in each sandwich. You will not be hungry after the sandwiches (if you can finish it!!).We have tried various types of sandwiches and honestly they are all good and well made sandwiches. Highly recommend you stop by Joe's Deli for some hearty and tasty sandwiches!”
“Authentic Mexican Restaurant with good food I'd go back for. Service was walk up, but they brought the food too you quickly. Seating and tables were typical fast food style; clean and comfortable. I will go back for quick Authentic Mexican...”
“My husband I are huge Mission fans. They catered our wedding! Last night our food was subpar so I called over to explain the disappointment. Tony took care of us without us having to put up a fight! Needless to say, Mission will always get our business due to the stellar customer service!”
“Never been and rolled in less than 5 minutes before they closed. The staff was VERY friendly and fixed my 2 Star City dogs to perfection. Even cooked fresh fries too! The food was VERY good! Definitely going back to try more choices. If you like the Roanoke Weenier Stand and Texas Tavern, you need to try this place! Delicious. 5 stars!”
“Had an enjoyable evening out during a business dinner. Atmosphere was 5 star! Service was almost 5 star, however we did feel a bit rushed in getting our food order in before we were even served our cocktails. The food was very good and we will return on our next visit to Roanoke!”
“This place is so yummy!!! I’ve had the samosas the beef kept up platter. The garlic sauce is so tasty the sampler platter all excellent I just wish they made their own homemade hot sauce, awesome place.”
