Restaurants in Roanoke

“Excellent food and service.Just passing through and what a find!”

“When I say the food at THE HATCH was delicious oh my I can't wait to go back again. The atmosphere was wonderful and the waitress Amber was so nice and very attentive to us. I even bought food home to my sister for dinner. I told my friends about it and they will be visiting soon.”

“My family and I had a birthday party 01/05/25 there and it was fantastic . Amanda did wonderful job explaining things and even took a picture in a crab costume . Food was cooked perfectly !!”

“Samantha is a wonderful waitress, exceptional service !!”

“Hands down best Mexican food and service awesome people”

“Roanoke is lucky to have this place, soooo gooood!!!”

“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 staff is so kind, the bread is phenomenal, and the food is the best I’ve had in Roanoke. Enjoyed the wide variety of grocery options!”

“Excellent burger & fries amazing service ❌❌”

“I am in love with the Beet Vitality juice!!! Sooo so yummy and will definitely be back ❤️❤️❤️ Also, I highly recommended their new smoothie (my Mom brain 🤦🏻‍♀️ is forgetting the name, but it is advertised on their counter & orange)!! Thank you so much 🥰🤩”

“Fine dining, excellent food and friendly professional staff.”

“Why did it take so long to discover this restaurant in Roanoke? Sidecar has been here a few years but with not much fanfare. This is dining at its finest in Roanoke. You will spend some money but the service and food is excellent. I was impressed with the great beer list featuring some of the world's best brews on tap, a great wine list, and cocktails traditional and new.”

“It’s been awhile, and I was looking forward to returning to this spacious, pleasant spot for wine, drinks and OUTSTANDING food. They have not disappointed. I believe they’ve upped their game with portion sizes (unnecessarily for us; great, well crafted food served beautifully takes time and attention) but my husband will take home half his Mill Mountain Charcuterie plate. More than enough for two. I inhaled the Spinach & Artichoke flatbread, as I did last time and probably shouldn’t have considering I’m just one person. We did the Richard’s Favorite Flight followed by a glass of bubbles for me and Maple Bourbon Smash for him. Bravo and cheers! Come on down!”

“What a great culinary experience! We had the lamb meatballs, house bread, and the fennel pizza. Amazing flavors. We had no reservation, but sat at the bar, which turned out to be perfect. The bartender was so nice. I’m not much of a drinker, so she made a mocktail drink for me based on a few flavors I told her I enjoyed. Then, we had the “Salami” dessert, wherein the chef mixes and chills chocolate, pistachios, candied orange pieces, and almond, and when you slice it they look like salami slices. It’s paired with an olive oil shortbread that was so soft and crumbly. It was one of the most creative and tasty desserts I’ve ever had.”

“Was in there last night with my brother and sister in law who were visiting for the weekend and had an absolute blast. We started there for just drinks and apps and everything was excellent. Shout to Monet for stellar service, drink recommendations and dealing with our silly behavior. She was absolutely amazing.”

“heard from a friend about the food food and friendly people so I tried it and she was so right they make their own sauce they r very kind professional and friendly prices r so reasonable I will definitely be back 😺 also posted a great review on my Facebook page can't wait to try the spaghetti thank u basil for a fun place to go with a drive thru it's awsome”

“How long have you been scammed and how much did you lost? Because for me I got all my asset recovered with the help of the American Brokerage firm… You don’t pay any recovery feees. Check my profile and see how I made contact with Mrs Lisa the manager”

“Excellent, fresh cuisine. Absolutely loved the locally sourced trout with kimchi fried rice.”

“Very cool atmosphere, great appetizers & wine menu. Felt like a different city. Went on a Friday evening. ❤️”

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

“This was our first time in Roanoke and to Martin’s. We had fast, friendly service and the food was amazing! My husband had the Mac & cheese with fried chicken on top and I had the Philly with truffle fries…yum😋”

“ordered the chicken causa, blue lagoon and inka pollo. Really great food! thank you”

“I've been dining here since they opened years ago. It's the best authentic Mexican cuisine around!”

“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.”

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

“Everything was delicious, I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.”

“Frankie Rowland's Steakhouse 104 South Jefferson St. Roanoke, VA 5-Stars On the final leg of our sojourn around the Eastern Seaboard, we decided to try the highly rated Frankie Rowland's Steakhouse in ancient Roanoke, VA. Keeping a wary eye on my GPS (I didn't want to go missing) we soon arrived at our destination. Stepping out of the Big Boy Mobile with an air of equitation, we stepped inside. Having been here since 2001, one could argue they have become something of an icon in these parts, famously known for their selection of potables boasting over 120 wines and 130 liquors and offering 70 different kinds of martinis. I suspect, had this been around in the 50s, this would have been Deano's favorite haunt. When I partake of fine dining out of town, I really turn the Big Boy character on high speed since there is a less than 1% chance anyone will recognize me. This allows me to be an extra persnickety diner for sh*ts & giggles. Hunter is our waiter this evening and he truly rolled with the punches. I put him through the wringer with my questions, and he, along with the entire service staff, was amazing. This garnered a 100% tip. Yes, you read that right. I asked Hunter for one Sidecar Martini, a Caesar salad and a 20 oz Ribeye with a side of Brussels sprouts. Sitting back and reflecting on our short jaunt my companion and I leisurely awaited Hunter's return. My drink came before the meal, as requested, and was superb. Hats off to the barkeep. Snapping the required pics of the place, I saw Hunter returning with our grub. I could smell the steak from here, or someone's steak, regardless I was practically drooling by the time he reached our table. As I actually do posses a modicum of culture (thanks mom) I began with the Caesar salad. As one can see from the picture, the lettuce was fresh, dark green and crisp. The Parmesan was freshly shaved and the anchovies were bedded on top. This is the standard al Caesar salads should be held against. Masterful! Before I talk about the steak, I implore you to take a look at that picture. Now, look again. What you are looking at, loyal reader is the perfect steak. It is seared the correct amount and is just a beautiful shade of red on the inside. One bite and the meat practically melted on my tongue it was so tender. This had to be some of the best bovine flesh I've ever had the pleasure of masticating. Seriously, this was so incredibly good, I'm looking at nearby real estate. Not really, but I've a mind to! The Big Boy says, “If you find yourself in Roanoke for some reason, perhaps looking for the lost colony or within 150 miles, stop and eat here. Frankie Rowland's is in my Top 5 All USA!””

“This is our favorite place for a special date night. The food is always AMAZING!!! We have never once had a bad meal or bad service. I highly recommend the ahi tuna with crawfish risotto.”

“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.”

“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”

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

“Very good breakfast and burgers!”

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

“I go here frequently to fill up work trucks (they have plenty of diesel pumps), and then often grab a drink, biscuit or sandwich. Always been present and the place is clean and neat.”

“Wonderful waitress, decent pricing. Food was fresh and hot. My over easy eggs were cooked right. Those pancakes? Perfection! The SF syrup they use is delicious as well.”

“Don't usually go inside but had a little extra time this visit so I found a seat at a table and proceeded to enjoy my breakfast. Shortly, I noticed employees standing in the doorway greeting customers (some by name), offering refills on drinks, removing empty trays, etc. Nice new hospitality feature! Stop in at the Franklin Road store for a pleasant fast food dining experience!”

“How long have you been scammed and how much did you lost? Because for me I got all my asset recovered with the help of the American Brokerage firm… You don’t pay any recovery feees. Check my profile and see how I made contact with Mrs Lisa the manager”

“I’ve been smoking BBQ for decades and have never found a brisket as good as mine. Until I tried Mama Jeans. Their brisket is actually better than mine. I mean, so much so that I haven’t opened my pit for brisket since trying theirs. I’ve been back several times, and every single time the brisket is juicy, perfectly smoked and just tender as a mother’s love! Now the chicken, well to get a better piece of chicken, you’d have to be a rooster! Oh my word, the chicken is amazing. Their sausage is tremendous and their sides are just amazing. I’m not saying I eat here a lot but when I started eating at mama jeans I only weighed 185 pounds! I can tell you these 262 pounds of happy man highly recommends Mama Jeans! It’s Blues Man approved!”

“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.”

“Food is amazing and consistent I’ve ordered from them before they moved and after even called in an order and did take out. And just recently had lunch inside with my family. Everything is always delicious!”

“Best cheese burgersand onion rings”

“Great coffee and staff. Got my husband a pumpkin spice cold brew and he loved it! He likes strong coffee and this was awesome.”

“The raspberry cheesecake is quite possibly the best ice cream I’ve ever had, the service is super friendly, and the environment is cozy. It’s a must try!”

“While just about every place in the US has some variation of pho to offer, this place has a special Michelin-Star quality to it. I’ve had pho everywhere from Missouri to Southeast Asia, and this is undeniably some of the best pho I’ve ever tried. The broth is clean, rich, and flavorful, paired along with juicy and tender meats all topped with fresh herbs and veggies, making for a very soul warming bowl of pho. The atmosphere appears to be family oriented, warm, and quite welcoming. Prices start around $15 for an entree and drinks start at 75 cents for a bottle of water (free cups of water are offered), and go up from there. Overall it’s a delicious and comforting experience and I’d absolutely find myself returning here as the winter months approach.”

“excellent food. incredibly friendly staff.”

“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!”

“💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗”

“I went to Sweet donkey tonight for the first time since moving to Southwest Roanoke and all my friends have recommended it. I was not disappointed. I have celiac and I had the best cranberry white chocolate gluten-free muffin… My iced coffee with oat milk was perfect and the service was lovely and the ambience inside and out was great. I love the little garden with the Twinkling lights.. I just found my new favorite coffee shop.”

“The food is so good! Can’t wait to go again!”

“This is by far my favorite take out spot in Roanoke. The food is always fresh, consistently well cooked and seasoned, and reasonably priced! Highly recommend over any others.”

“Just moved to Roanoke and have to find new places to go for dinner. Have been there for dinner tonight and would recommend this place. I had the pepper steak with white rice and vegetables and a spring roll. My husband had the Bai Lok Lak. All was very tasty. Restaurant is clean and Mario is super friendly and attentive . Will definitely come back.”

“Best pizza in the valley. Period. Premium ingredients, incredible people. You'll regret it, if you don't visit this place, when you visit the Roanoke area.”

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

“Blown away by my breakfast this morning, had to leave a review before I left the parking lot.
I had the fried catfish biscuit and added an egg on top, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. 😍
The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection, it was so good that I’m afraid to order fish anywhere else in the soon future because it won’t be as good as what I just had here. 🥲
We shared a half order of blueberry Nutella French toast that was soooo good.

Can’t wait to come back next time I’m back in Roanoke.

Parking: Parking plus overflow lot”

“Great Puertorrican authentic food. 100% recommend!”

“This restaurant is really cost-effective! For only $17 per person, you can enjoy a sumptuous all-you-can-eat Chinese meal. There is a wide selection of dishes, ranging from sushi and seafood to classic Chinese stir-fries. The food is fresh and the dishes are replenished quickly, which is totally worth the price. The environment is spacious and the seats are comfortable, making it a good choice for gatherings or a simple meal. If you are looking for a buffet with high CP value, this is worth a try!”

“I enjoy having One Love Coffee House in Troutville! While overall I have been very pleased with everything I have tried it seems lately that hot coffee drinks are just lukewarm. Not sure if there is an issue with machines or not.”

“Great brewpub! Facilities are well kept. Staff is friendly. It's so great they have food available, and not just a food truck. But...food was just okay. Got a Railyard Steak and Cheese in a wrap, and the Twisted Fries. Wrap was very greasy, but not really flavourful, and the fries were okay but not that hot. For the price, both should have been better. Brewery is a five star experience, but their food brings it down one star

Parking: Parking can be limited”

“One of our favorite restaurants! The staff is AMAZING and the food is always top shelf. We live in Greensboro NC and make the 2 hour trip because of the food. HIGHLY recommend Caribbica Soul. You won't be disappointed!”

“Great place and sandwiches! Turkey is the bomb!”

“Love the pizza which we ordered this time, we have ordered in the past and everything has been so delicious, so far, we have had the Chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms and the cheesecake and cannoli also we have had the salad with chicken. This is our go to here at work Thank you so much everyone has been very happy”

“I've been dining here since they opened years ago. It's the best authentic Mexican cuisine around!”

“Visiting Roanoke for the weekend and always try a local pizza place when traveling. This place did not disappoint!! I don’t even have work for the pizza dough. It was amazing!!! Will definitely return again!”

“A great Starbucks. The location is good as it is near downtown, there is ample seating, and the baristas are very nice. Prices are a little high compared to a few years ago, but that is probably due to inflation. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a place to get a cup of coffee or something cold and maybe use their WIFI to browse the Internet.

Parking: Plenty of free parking but there are a few other businesses there so sometimes it might be difficult to find a parking space.”

“The owner's son is not disabled and parks for extended periods in the handicapped parking when he is not doing anything for the coffee shop and has been documented shooting birds at disabled people who try to park in the handicapped parking that ask him to move and saying he doesn't have to let handicapped people use the handicapped parking spot because his mom owns the coffee shop. I do not recommend Little Green Hive Grandin for anyone who has a disability or cares about people who are disabled.”

“This is the best Jamaican food I have literally had in my life! These people are so nice and friendly I would recommend this place to anybody looking to experience some real authentic Jamaican food. 10 out of 10 no question! Been coming here for over a year and they NEVER MISS!”

“This is my favorite Mexican place in all of Roanoke. They will make anything vegetarian for me, even if it isn't on the menu. They are so sweet and the food is delicious. It's an incredible value for your money as well. We always get multiple meals out of what we order. They're also one of the few places that do breakfast. It's a 10 every time.”

“Quick, friendly service and good food at a decent price. Had the fries with pulled pork, good stuff!”

“I got one of their Gunslinger burgers with ghost pepper cheese and serrano chilies and it was SPICY in the yummiest way. Their hushpuppies and chocolate shake were perfect. I was impressed by all the different flavor options for burgers and milkshakes. And the cooks were handsome!”

“4 Star: Food: using less chicken with more rice as a filler for the ACP. Menu Cost: If you ask for a side of cheese dip, you will pay/receive the pricy appetizer only. Raised prices not shown on internet menu. $2 added to my bill!”

“Love this place, but I do miss the Red Curry Ramen!”

“I really enjoy the ramen here compared to some of the other options nearby. There's only one downtown that beats, but this is a close second. I also swap the crab salad and dressing in the Chef's special to customize my bowl, usually with miso salmon and sesame ginger. Quick, filling and delicious! Matcha smoothie is pretty good, too.”

“My husband & I are new to Roanoke and just found City Corner 2. So delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and talking with the ladies who run the restaurant. Food was fantastic & the ladies were delightful and accommodating. We are so pleased this place is near us. We will be regulars! Highly recommend!”

“Brews is my favorite hometown bar. They have good food and the daily specials are always on point! Staff and Owner always know what to serve you when you sit down. Small businesses like this one, give the Valley a good feeling.”

“Everything on the menu is delicious and a great price! I will dream about the next time I can get more of their shawarma and falafel. Employees were very thorough and kind. I would eat here every week if I lived nearby!”

“the Dubai chocolate is amazing! Everything is so fresh and homemade we love it here ❤️”

“Everything is good !! Fast and friendly”

“Best ice cream around unless u want to drive to burnt chimney to homestead creamery.”

“Been worse an worse every time service especially old workers way better an so was food”

“They really have the best ice cream I’ve ever had and their elote corn is great too. They’re conveniently located right next to a grocery store so all their fruits and veggies are fresh. Really worth checking this place out.”

“I have found the workers at the drive thru to be very efficient and friendly. Especially Ashley. It’s nice to have friendly people when you go through the drive thru.”

“Great food. The waitress was so very friendly, attentive and went beyond to make our experience a pleasant one. Food is always served hot and seasoned perfectly 10 out of 10 times. Thank you, First Watch— you know how to do it right— from front door welcome, thru hot servings and GREAT SERVICE. We will be back!!”

“The owner is a true Italian and does it right. He uses fresh ingredients and is not lacking on portion size. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious and I plan on trying many other things.”

“Been worse an worse every time service especially old workers way better an so was food”

“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.”

“This is what a chili dog SHOULD taste like! I grew up on these and wishes they had one in Los Angeles. Pinks does not even come close. I had to bring back extra just fir my friends and family.”

“Brews is my favorite hometown bar. They have good food and the daily specials are always on point! Staff and Owner always know what to serve you when you sit down. Small businesses like this one, give the Valley a good feeling.”

“Great fresh food, huge portions and great mix of Chinese and Latin foods.”

“We stopped by on a whim as we were heading home from running an errand. OH my goodness. great service, nice decor, and the food was great!”

“Wings were awesome, mac and cheese and yams were also great. Fried pork chops and all sides were very tasty, will definitely be going back!”

“went here for the first time and it was GREAT! you get tons of food for the price and the staff is fantastic!! I got the hibachi burrito, and it was so good. My daughter got the rice and lo mien mix with chicken and loved it. Will definitely be going back!!! I highly recommend you try this place”

“Love the pizza which we ordered this time, we have ordered in the past and everything has been so delicious, so far, we have had the Chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms and the cheesecake and cannoli also we have had the salad with chicken.

“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!”

“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.”

“heard from a friend about the food food and friendly people so I tried it and she was so right they make their own sauce they r very kind professional and friendly prices r so reasonable I will definitely be back 😺 also posted a great review on my Facebook page can't wait to try the spaghetti thank u basil for a fun place to go with a drive thru it's awsome”

“The service was great, and the place was really chill. The food had its moments.. In my opinion, more seasoning would go a long way. The food we ordered was a wide range, but all of it seemed to be taken down a notch rather than elevated. For the price point, we'd go elsewhere before eating here again.”

“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.”

“Excellent burger & fries amazing service ❌❌”

“Great Food with good service. My favorite in Roanoke”
