    We stopped at this location after reading several good reviews. We've been traveling on the road for quite a while. My husband had the fish basket and I had the shrimp basket. The hush puppies were to die for amazing! The baskets came with more than enough, french fries a little cup of coleslaw and a few of those delicious hush puppies. The service was spot on, and Barbara Jean was an amazing server. Attentive, willing to give advice, and so friendly. I highly recommend stopping at Angels diner. They have two locations, one in Troutman, and the other in Salem, Virginia, not far from each other. We went to the one in Salem. We will go there again. By the way, there was a lovely pie case with amazing cakes in it, but we were too full to partake this time. Check it out.

    Air conditioning was dripping so not great ambiance on the day we were there. Okay food and good service. A local alternative to a chain like Cracker Barrel I guess...

    The chicken smothered in cream sauce
    Steven V.

    The food sucked but, hey the service was nice. I noticed that my stomach started hurting around an hour we left and I've been eating fairly well so I'm positive it was because of their food. The atmosphere was very chill and lowkey. Also their tap water tastes very sour somehow.

    French martini- sweet and smooth!

    Stopped by to eat after a long day of travel. Right off the highway 81 and easy to find, ample parking in front. Got seated right away. Waitress was very helpful and pleasant. Drinks were good- $5 beer & martini. Ordered the country fried steak- tasted like it was frozen and then deep fried - and the hamburger steak w/onions & mushrooms- (better than the country fried steak). Two sides come w/ entrees and we were satisfied- martini was extra smooth too!

    Bertha chicken sandwich
    Mark W.

    Late lunch and was seated immediately. Super friendly staff and good options on the menu. Ordered the Bertha chicken sandwich and a side of fried okra. The okra is fresh and was very good. They used soft bread on the sandwich and really good tomatoes. You can get the chicken with different sauces, but I just added mayonnaise. Will return when in the area again.

    Onion Rings!!! OMG Good!
    Denny K.

    Highly recommended by our hotel clerk and having seen decent reviews on Yelp. we stopped in. Our take on it: pretty traditional restaurant and food, but not exceptional except for one item. (Read on....or, if you're bored already, it was the onion rings.) Service was prompt and staff was polite. Food came out hot and was served all at same time...so no one had to wait for their entree or whatever. Plain wings - crispy outside, tender and moist inside. Fish - tender but coating was limp and bland. Fries - good. Onion rings ....now, these WERE the standout. Hot and crisp and sweet! Other sides - steamed - restaurant style run-of-the-mill; greens no oomph. (Hot sauce helped).. Recommendation - sure, stop in if you're not in a hurry and are looking for simple traditional fare at a reasonable price.

    So we came here our last night in Salem. We had heard good things about Angelle's and actually came with a friend who had been here before - repeatedly. Xavier was our waiter and you should ask for him. He was really nice and offered great service. Hubby and friend both went with the meatloaf - hubby got slaw and mash potatoes (no gravy) - friend doubled down on the slaw. Slaw is the creamy kind which we prefer - not the vinaigrette style. And I - of course - went with the chicken salad. Our food came out in good time. The meatloaf looked like a small portion but hubby said it was about right and was tasty. Potatoes and slow were both very good, too. And my salad was a very good - not quite excellent - but a nice amount of chicken which was moist and tasty. A fair amount of fixings and a good ratio of stuff to greens. AND they had oil and vinegar. I gotta give props to restaurants which offer salads AND have oil and vinegar. It is such a simple thing to have and it would pretty much make anyone happy who was looking for it or an Italian type dressing. So I highly recommend Angelle's for a quick, casual and fairly priced restaurant with good service. Super convenient location - near the hotel - closest of all the places we ate at. And if it was good enough for our friend (MOX), the restaurant connoisseur, then it was good enough for us and anyone.

    Patio area, fabulous Nina
    Shelby T.

    Excellent - from a spanking' clean patio, restaurant and rest rooms, to friendly, attentive service, to delicious lunches. It's clear the staff has a lot of pride in their restaurant. By the way, the chili was awesome! Thank you Nina and team for everything!

    After being ranked 4th among Yelp's Top 50 Most Prolific Elites of 2025, a distinction recognizing…read moremy consistent community engagement and high-quality contributions, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to go back and write follow-up reviews on those restaurants that impressed me the most during 2025, and The River and Rail Restaurant located in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example of one of them. Going back to this restaurant after the great honor that I had received from Yelp, made me recall the first time that I dined here. I invite you that after reading this review, you go back and read that one, and view my photographs accompanying it, because it's one of which I am most proud of, and an experience that I will never forget and forever cherish. I arrived at the restaurant on time at five o'clock sharp and as I waited for them to open I had an opportunity to meet and chat with a couple who had been loyal customers of this restaurant for years since it first opened. They, as well as I, were aware of the beautiful location of the restaurant on one of the most exclusive neighborhoods of Roanoke. As soon as the doors opened, I allowed them to enter first and then when the host came back she gave me a warm and friendly greeting, welcoming me back, and took me to an ideal table, where I had a perfect view of the entire restaurant, from their open kitchen, to their bar, to the entire dining room and entrance, allowing me to capture in photographs the real feel of the ambiance of this cozy, yet elegant, upscale Southern, New-American restaurant known for its scratch-made dishes using locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients, including house-cured meats and pickled vegetables, as well as very creative cocktails. Shortly after I was seated, my delightful server Caroline arrived, and after a warm greeting took my order. To drink I order their Strawberry Fields Forever Mocktail. As appetizer I ordered a half dozen Oysters together with their famous Oyster Wraps. And as my main entrée, the Painted Hills Filet, cooked medium-rare. All the staff seemed so happy to see me and the manager came by to say hello and congratulate me for my outstanding Yelp accomplishment of 2025. My excellent server made sure that my order was well-paced, came by at the appropriate times to fill my glass with water and see if all was to my liking. Everything tasted amazingly delicious. Starting from the unique taste of my creative mocktail, to my flavorful appetizer, to my exquisite Filet main entrée that was so tender and cooked just right. The chefs in this fine dining restaurant are amazing and the quality of their meats is top notch. For dessert I had one of my favorite desserts, since I first had it there, their Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta. This dessert is absolutely mouthwatering. What an extraordinary dining experience I once again had there. Fine dining at its best. For those very special occasions, I highly recommend this restaurant. Or you can always make any day special, by dining there.

The food comes out fairly quick, the menu is concentrated while still offering a large variety of options. The cocktails are good, though neither of us ordered from the cocktail menu, they have a full bar so you can order whatever you please. Service could be a little more vocal/communicative but it seems staff is perhaps limited? It was good but there's room for moderate improvement for sure. The Chicken Liver Mousse was absolutely amazing and I'd return again and again specifically for this dish (go ahead and order extra bread to come with it)!!

He confirmed that we had enough plasticware, sauces, seasonings and helped me carry my order to my car.

Inside, it's all worn wood tables, checkered paper, and the low hum of conversation over country music. The walls might have a few local photos or license plates, but nothing fancy--this place lets the food do the talking. The pulled pork sandwich is the star. It comes piled high, the meat slow-smoked for hours until it practically falls apart. Each bite hits with that perfect balance--smoky, tender, just a little crispy on the edges. Then there's the sauce situation. You've got options lined up on the table--sweet and sticky and tangy vinegar-based. Half the fun is mixing and matching until you land on your perfect combo. On the side, golden hush puppies arrive hot and crisp--crunchy on the outside, soft and slightly sweet inside. The fries are perfectly salted, and just begging to be dipped in leftover sauce. And dessert? Banana pudding, served cold in a simple cup with layers of creamy vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, and soft vanilla wafers that have soaked just enough to melt into everything. It's rich without being heavy--the kind of dessert that feels like it came straight from someone's grandmother's kitchen. It's not fancy, it's not trendy--but it's exactly what you want when you're craving real, honest BBQ.

My second go to, as well as my girlfriend's is the hot honey fried chicken biscuit. Portion wise that thing is hugeee, most of the items are so they are absolutely worth what you pay!

The lucky cube drink was creative and tasty. Brussel sprouts were also unique with a tahini sauce on top and perfectly crispy chickpeas. I'd seen "Smoke in Chimneys Trout" on a few menus in Roanoke this trip but never heard of that before. Looked it up and learned something new. They are trout that are local and prized for living in a lime stone aquifer rather than a river. Giving them a clean light slightly sweet taste, no essence of mud that can come with other river fish.
