We have dined here several times now but on our last visit we were presently surprised by the fish entrees. Truly better than most seafood restaurants. Service is always good and they are so nice to our sometimes rowdy toddler. Definitely will be back read more

Very nice meal! I'm in town with my dog for a few days and was happy to find this place. service was great, covered outdoor area was lovely and the food was really good! read more

We ate here with our kiddos while traveling through Salem. I had the Eggs Benedict. The ham had a nice quality and crispness, the grits were creamy and wonderful. Overall a solid breakfast with appropriate portions and nice presentation. The waitstaff was friendly and prompt. I know this is a newer place and I would recommend trying. read more

Angelle's Diner - Southern Near Me - Salem, Virginia

Did not come with the toppings as they "ran out". i started eating the sandwich and it was completely raw. The waitress was really apologetic and sweet and asked if i would like another or a complimentary slice of cake. I kindly declined. She said she would take it off the bill which I expected nothing less. The place was very empty and quiet; I now understand why. Avoid at all costs. Unless you enjoy raw chicken and salmonella. read more

Very small portions for the price, I had a Togo order and when I got home I had to finish cooking my fries. I most likely wont be returning. read more

I was excited to pull into this diner when I saw the cute fleur de lys black railing because I'm from Louisiana. The food was good and service was also good. My suggestions to improve would be to offer more authentic Cajun and southern food. There was no remoulade and you can even buy remoulade at the Walmart these days so what is the excuse for that? I was also sad that there was no eggs Benedict on a Sunday. For the cocktails try offeeing a Sazerac, vieux carré or French 74 instead of the sugary offerings on the menu. Desserts looked good but not very French. Crème brûlée cream puffs and éclairs aren't that hard to make. Get your French on, Angelles. In the meantime a nice place for a hamburger and chocolate layer cake. read more

Great value. Delicious food. Only regret it is too far from home, but when we come back this way, we'll make sure to come back

We are traveling from New York to Georgia, and read the review for this restaurant. We decided to try it, and it was well worth being here. We had fish and chips and the shrimp basket. The coleslaw was amazingly sweet and good. The hush puppies were the best that we have ever had anywhere. Great french fries, fish, and shrimp! Perhaps the best part was our waitress, Bridget who was a delight! read more

My dad and I went here for breakfast a few years ago and I liked it. So, when in town again, my son and I went here for lunch, this week. (I didn't know that this place apparently is relatively new - the Google Maps 2018 street view shows the building looking differently.) My son had a burger and crinkle cut fries, and Pepsi, which seemed good. I had a grilled chicken sandwich, with green beans as my side. The bun was actually delicious - soft and flavorful. The chicken was charred and moist. My sandwich had lettuce tomato and mayonnaise on it, I believe. Very yummy. The green beans were tasty, too. Unsweet tea was good. Service was friendly. I can tell that lots of friendly locals come here (b/c I see them saying hello to each other) -- and that adds a cozy feeling. The restaurant interior is comforting, classy and clean. The menu had lots of things I'd like to try if I ever get back to Salem, VA. read more

The service was excellent and we used outdoor dining. The cheeseburgers are very tasty and I loved the crinkle fries. The Philly Cheese steak sandwich was very good. I will go again. read more

Is a nice place, good food, good service. Burger was great but If they're taking any criticism they should really toast their buns to avoid them being soggy when they make these bigger burgers. Otherwise it was a good experience read more

Angelle's Diner - Cowboy burger without lettuce / tomatoes / onion - Southern Near Me - Salem, Virginia

This place is fantastic. Good food at a great price. Bridget takes great care to make sure that you have a pleasant experience as well as Pat and the rest of the staff. I tell everyone about Angelle's. You have got to go here to eat your tastebuds will thank you. read more

We stopped in for dinner on a whim, and WOW! I had the hickory bacon cheeseburger and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive and the restaurant was clean and looked nice. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem! read more

I just had the best burger of my life. The photo looks like it's staged, but this is exactly how the meal showed up to the table. Very impressed! read more

Angelle's Diner - Southern Near Me - Salem, Virginia

Not Impressed. Took forever to get our food, portions were small and didn't really taste all that great. Prices too high for what you get, not a good value. Our server...well let's just say, I have rocks in my yard that have more personality. Would not recommend to others. read more

Friendly, prompt service. Excellent quality and pricing. We came as a recommendation from the Hampton Inn which is within a mile. We also received a discount for our mention of Hampton. Just traveling through and it's nice to find a friendly diner. It's just off I-81, Exit 137. Give it a try. read more

Dined here twice. Both times wonderful friendly service. The food was delicious and fresh and served in a timely manner. Best food I've had eating out in a while! read more

Angelle's Diner - Open Roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. - Southern Near Me - Salem, Virginia

upscale Diner with a great menu and atmosphere. Outside space was very nice. Owners obviously care about making a super impression with what could otherwise be a boring place. read more

My husband and I travel from Charlotte to DC often, and Salem is a great midway place to stop for lunch (Exit 137 off I-81). We discovered Angelle's one Sunday when our go-to Chick-fil-A was closed. It's particularly good because we travel with our dog and the patio is nicer than most for outdoor eating. On this most recent occasion, I tried the barbecue basket and was surprised at just how good a pulled pork sandwich can be. The bun that it came on was toasted to the point that it gave a satisfying crunch when I bit into it. The pork and sauce were perfect. I chose fried okra as a replacement for the French fries normally served with the sandwich. That and the cole slaw were excellent. My husband ordered a new item on the menu called a Strawberry Spinach Salad. He ordered it with the optional grilled chicken, and he was very pleased. Our waitress was cheerful, helpful, and polite, which has always been the case when we dine here. I highly recommend Angelle's! read more

Our first, but certainly not our last, time here. Really great food, great service, and great prices. I had the gumbo that was the closest thing to Cajun cooking in these parts and my wife had the chicken and broccoli Alfredo with homemade sauce- both dishes were delicious! Sarah was our server and was prompt, pleasant, and personal. The restaurant was immaculate with spacious seating. Would have loved it if the two fireplaces would have been going, but the food is great as is the service. Give yourself a nice treat and eat at Angelle's. It will become one of your favorite places in Salem. read more

Food was amazing. Corinne is a wonderful server, one of the best. It is very difficult for me to get my meat cooked to my liking, but Mike cooked my steak EXACTLY the way I like it!! Can't wait to go back. Great atmosphere. read more

Amazing food and nice staff!! Super quick service good stop if your on the road. Would recommend.

First time going, not familiar with the area but the service was superb. Within 45 seconds of being seated we were asked what to drink. Appetizer came out within four minutes. One of us ordered the bbq brisket; the flavor of the meat and bread was good but there wasn't much meat on the sandwich. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy. To my surprise the shrimp was fried. Some of the pieces tasted double fried, the shrimp flavor was lost and it was very crunchy. However overall, the experience was positive because of the exceptional service and food was mostly excellent. read more

We had an overall good experience at Angelle's last night. Initially I wanted to leave before we were even seated because the host sat a party of 4 and a baby that arrived 10 minutes after us before sitting us but I'm glad my family talked me into staying. My husband and I both ordered burgers that were huge and delicious with fries. My mom ordered the Reuben and my dad ordered the steak sub, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and we all said we would return. The food runner had her hair up and gloves on which I appreciated and our server who was also the bartender was extremely busy but did an overall great job considering she was running the bar and had a few tables as well. We will definitely return to Angelle's! read more

They took the old shoneys building to a whole new level. With great food and amazing service, our experience was amazing! I honestly can't say anything bad about this place. Our server Sam even gave us a thank you note. Very thoughtful in my opinion. I will definitely come back!! read more

We had a family gathering at Angelle's and I can't say enough positive things about this place. The restaurant was so clean and inviting. The food was phenomenal everything was hot and delicious. The wait staff were friendly and very accommodating and the manager made sure all of our needs were taken care of. Please give this place a try it is a hidden gem.

The food and service was amazing. Bridget provided great service. Be sure to stop by for their brunch.

absolutely terrible!! disgusting food!! disgusting service!! there was hair in my food and my server didn't care. the manager came out and talked to me like i was a 2 year old. dont recommend!! read more

Service was excellent & the restaurant was clean. Loss 1 star because the steak was bland.

I would give this place a 1 star. Me and my boyfriend went friday night 9-27-19. There was 3 cars in the parking lot. Was not busy had 3 other customers. We were seated and waited for a waitress to come and wait on us but 10 minutes went by still no waitress. Then we seen some customers were seated behind us and within seconds a waitress waited on them. We were very upset that NO ONE bother to wait on us. There were 3 waitresses at the bar area doing nothing but talking, 3 more over at the counter 1 biting her nails. Will never go back. Didn't get to try the food but the SEVICE SUCKED. This is the Salem va location. read more

We were traveling from Delaware to Tennessee (7/5/21) and happened to stop in Salem looking for a restaurant to eat at. The building caught our eye because it was newer, clean looking, and nicely decorated with an outdoor patio. There were also a decent amount of cars in the parking lot. When we pulled up my husband took the kids out and walked around for a couple minutes while I got everything we needed ready (we have a 1 year old who needs cups, plate, utensils, etc.). My husband took the kids 8 &1 on the patio to look at the water fountain. While up there a woman came out with a highchair in hand and said are you eating outside or coming in? My husband told her he would have to check with me; she politely said that's fine just let me know. I decided to eat outside and she was our waitress; her name is Corinne. We had PHENOMENAL service she was completely on top of things, so kind and patient, accommodating and offered to clean my sons dish so I didn't have to take it to the ladies room to wash it off. The food was really good and extremely well priced. We were upset we weren't able to hold out and stop there on our way home (the kids got too hungry). I would totally recommend anyone stop in an have a good meal, great service, an nice atmosphere. Make sure to ask for Corrine!!!! My daughter said she deserves to be the head manager!! read more

Before they shut down for Covid last year, they served the best breakfast in town (great grits, wonderful Eggs Benedict, etc.), but when they opened back up, they STOPPED serving breakfast (except a "brunch" only on Sat. and Sun.) When you inquire if/when they will start serving breakfast again, they always have an excuse: can't get help, not enough business, you can go to our other location (17 miles away!), it will start again when we can get more staffing. Other local restaurants have started serving breakfast again, but not Angelles. I've given up on them and we go to other local restaurants about three days a week for breakfast. We would do much more lunch and dinner there if they also had breakfast, but for whatever their excuses, we have been disappointed too many times by their not bringing back, even to the point that we had invited out of town guests to go with us twice. read more

Ate there today - lunch. The food was good - our waitress, Amanda - very friendly and helpful. I heard it was once a Shoney's - could not tell - nicely redecorated - very nice bar. Would definitely go back there again. read more

This is one of my favorite spots. I love the New Orleans style décor. I always order a hurricane when I go here hoping they will make one like Pat O'Brien's They taste a little different each time but still good. I've eaten here many times and never been disappointed in the food. Will definitely be back over and over. Also last year (2020) they had it decorated during Mardi Gras. Loved it! Also love the patio! read more

Ate there a few days ago. Sandwich was skimpy on filling and hot insides were on ice-cold roll. Son's sandwich also skimpy and lacked enough sauce. Service left much to be desired - waitress came over and put elbows on table to lean in and ask how our food was then came back about 2/3 of way through eating to bring us check. I really wanted this to be a go-to place but we won't be going back. read more

So I came here last Saturday with my gmaw for her birthday I ended up getting the NY Strip cooked med rare with Mac n cheese & mash potatoes took sweet tea was terrible and when the food came my steak literally had no pink or anything I was gonna tough it out but it was $17.99 so I showed to waiter who was very nice she agreed and I got another about ten to twelve minutes later when it came back it was literally exactly the same ‍ I ended up smothering it in steak sauce and just eating it I've been in the restaurant business for ten years And have my fair share of knowledge and experience when it comes to working in the kitchen for a med rare steak 3 minutes on both sides and throw it on a plate it's not that hard!!!! but I will be back to give it another try my sides were great and my gmaw enjoyed her food read more

While driving through Virginia, we thought it would be nice to stop at a casual dining establishment. Our meal took 2 hours because they didn't know how to run the kitchen, service tables properly, and then the credit card machine was out of order. This establishment had mediocre food and even worse service. I would not suggest stopping. The least they could've done was to somehow compensate us for our meal, given the fact that service was so poor, but they didn't even do that. I would have given this establishment zero starts if it was possible !!! read more

Hostess was not very attentive to customers as they came in. Service was very slow, it took about an hour and 15 minutes to be seated and receive our order. Food was not hot, but it was warm. Waitress was not very attentive and never addressed the delay with our food order. But, I would be willing to give it another try once they have been opened a little bit longer. read more

So many things went wrong last night , though our waitress smiled her way through it. Bar couldn't get a glass of house wine to her in less than 20 minutes, dinner took over 45 to get to table after ordering. I would never order the BBQ platter again, the brisket was shaved thinner than bacon and very tough. Pulled pork it was hiding was ok. Wife's salmon was dry and overcooked like it had been sitting most of those 45 minutes. read more

My wife's and I dined Thursday's evening at Angelle's. Great food, great environment, great service. Ribs, briskets, greens, Macaroni and cheese delicious. Ribs only on Thursday, my wife enjoyed her bacon burger, french fries and carrot cake. Recommend the bacon burger and carrot cake as well. Great experience!! read more
