The Regency Room at Hotel Roanoke, fine-dining at its best. Experience an opulent setting,…read moresophisticated ambiance, exquisite flavors, and refined service. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, 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 uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And The Regency Room in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. Hidden in one of the most magestic rooms of the historic Hotel Roanoke, The Regency Room is more than just a restaurant, it is a memorable fine-dining experience like none other. And once you experience it for the first time, you'll always want to return. In my case I made that come back this evening after making my reservation through OpenTable requesting my usual table. As a member of The Dogwood Club, they always honor my request whenever possible. If I would have brought my pearl white Lexus Luxury Edition I would have also had complimentary valet parking with the restaurant validation. But I preferred to leave my car at home and have a Lift drive me there. When I arrived, the long-standing Maitre d, Lowell, welcomed me with their signature AAA Four Diamond hospitality. I was so happy to see him, for in his position he sets the hospitable tone of the restaurant with his attention to detail and desire to make the dining experience of all guests a memorable one. He not only had my usual table setup for me, but also had the new chef de cuisine, Wells Selbe, come out to greet me. Growing up in the Roanoke area and trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, I was really looking forward to tasting his menu focus. I had read that he blended classical techniques with Appalachian flavors, local ingredients, and foraged items from his family's Franklin County family. Brittany, one of my favorites servers there and whom I had during my first visit, was my server and did an excellent job in explaining the new menu and dining events. She brought me fresh bread with whipped butter, a sign of a great restaurant. She help me choose The Summer Belle Mocktail. She also brought me a small bowl of She Crab Soup that was delicious. She then surprised me with an Amuse Bouche. To dine I started with the Stuff Squid a la Provencal. And for the main entrée, The Dry Aged Filet Mignon Au Poivre. Everything was amazingly delicious. And the Jazz live music playing in the background added to the the enjoyment of the dining experience. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to see the gastronomic masterpieces. For dessert I had a special dessert that the chef de cuisine made for me and brought out, explaining all the items it was made with. In conclusion, once again I had an extraordinary dining experience here today, and I highly recommend this restaurant for a fine-dining experience above all others.

Nothing spectacular and no imagination at all. Very overpriced for such a bland breakfast $40 a person. It was all buffet style. Service was not the best, had to ask for water multiple times, and the dirty dishes were taking up most of the table. We had to start stacking them. We had a table of four people so it was quite annoying. At one point our server said a large table was coming in after us and was about to be seated so he needed to take care of them before he could ask us our drink order. We had already eaten more than half our food before we ordered our drinks. There was plenty of parking cost $6 for up to two hours. Bathrooms and lobby were beautiful and very clean. I think I will stick to night time dining. At least i can check the Regency Sunday Brunch off my brunch list.

I had brunch on a Friday mid morning in March 2026 at this Panda Express location in Roanoke,…read moreVirginia. I was happy that I found this place after wandering around Valley View Mall. I enjoy having Panda Express due to its inexpensive options as well as its popularity across the United States. So to my surprise, I found a Panda Express here just outside the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, Virginia. I'm like, okay. At least it isn't McDonald's. And so, I walked in at around 10:15am on a Friday in March 2026. There was 2 people occupying tables but other than that, it was empty. I saw the lady behind the counter setting up and it was cool that I came here early enough so that things are freshly made and not sitting for too long. I ended up getting the bigger plate with noodles. Beef broccoli and orange chicken with string bean chicken was my order of the day. Along with a medium sized drink, the prices were decidedly competitive. It was delicious and typical Chinese American fare that many people enjoy. It was familiar to me as we have many Panda Express locations in Honolulu, where I live. I probably spent about 1 1/2 hours here enjoying my brunch and probably ended up refilling my drink cup 3 times before I departed. It was nice that they are okay with free refills, which made me happy as a clam. For the most part though, my time here at Panda Express was spent enjoying my brunch and being on vacation in Roanoke. It was a nice quiet time for me and definitely worth coming up here for a couple of hours. If you enjoy Chinese American cuisine and enjoy the aspects of quick and easy, you can consider Panda Express for your next meal in Roanoke. Definitely enjoyable and recommended if you're in the area and want to have something other than burgers and fries. Delicious and most definitely satisfying. The overall experience here at this particular Panda Express location was very good and quiet. It was nice that I came in on a regular Friday morning right after they had opened. No crowds or anything since I'd like to sit down and enjoy in a serene environment. The restaurant itself is fairly small but has enough tables to accommodate a small to medium size party and probably up to 35 people at any given time. What I liked about my experience here as mentioned before was the free soda refills at the self service drink machine. Definitely well worth the value for my money and I enjoyed that aspect of dining here. I enjoyed the comfort of dining alone during my time in this Panda Express in Roanoke. The service was good and fast. I even ordered my meal in Chinese and it was pretty cool. All in all, it was a delicious healthy enough meal. Everything was fresh and cooked with love. Definitely hit the spot when I was vacationing in the area. Panda Express really revolutionized the Chinese cuisine in America with its favorites options and the idea of having locations everywhere helped with my meal option that Friday morning in March 2026. I typically get the beef broccoli and the orange chicken with some type of noodles. Along with a drink, it's a nice way to have something light versus a bulky burger and fries meal. And so, if you want something as an alternative to the American burger and fries culture, consider Panda Express on your next trip to Roanoke. The ambiance was nice here and would come again, if future travels permit me to do so. This Panda Express location is situated next to the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, Virginia. Its physically address is 4809 Valley View Boulevard. It's right next to the I-581 and the Roanoke-Blacksburg regional airport is nearby. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's plenty of parking here since it's apart of the Valley View Mall complex. Best bet would be to come early enough to secure parking next to the restaurant to minimize the walking. If you are like me and love public transportation, bus route 15 will take you here from the 3rd street bus terminal in downtown Roanoke. It took about 45 minutes one way, which is not too bad and the cost was fairly inexpensive. Of course, there's always Uber and Lyft for your convenience and needs. And so, if you enjoy Chinese American cuisine and are in the Roanoke area, consider Panda Express as your go to spot for all things noodles and egg rolls, along other delicious favorites. Best thing you can do in Roanoke is party with egg rolls and noodles. And maybe some orange chicken and beef broccoli too. However you get here, get here fast and come hungry for sure. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Quiet ambiance and a nice self service drink fountain. Support local! A+

Even though I was not able to be there earlier for the official ceremony itself, I made sure to go as soon as I could in the early evening to have dinner there. When I arrived the festive environment was still there. As I entered the door covering my head from the outside rain, I noticed haven gone under a semicircle of red and white balloons with small yellow ones as well. And immediately after that the entire Panda Express started singing a welcoming song. One of their staff named Gian, from one of their stores in Pennsylvania, who has been with the company for over more than a year now warmly greeted me with a smile and handed me a leaflet that said if I downloaded and joined their app today, I would get a 20% discount on my meal this evening. I immediately did so and got in line to order as I viewed the menu that was hanged high above the ordering counter and the large TV screen featuring several of their menu item visually. When my time came up, another friendly staff behind the ordering counter took my order and as I was ordering he simultaneously was filling it. I ordered a Plate with Orange Chicken and Black Pepper Sirloin Steak as rhe two entries and Chow Mein as the side. Together with an order of Cheese Cream Rangoons, and a Medium Fountain Drink of Dr. Pepper. To my surprise, they also included a Fortune Cookie. I paid with my credit card, went and served my drink, and sat at a table to enjoy my meal. It was amazingly delicious. But it was the positive attitude and friendly engagement from all the Panda Express employees there that won me over to the brand. I highly recommend this place to all those reading my review. Quality food, cooked to perfection, and served by friendly staff, what else can one ask for?

This upscale Coffee Shop, authorized purveyor of Starbucks, named in honor of the iconic 611 steam locomotive, opens at 6:00am, and provides a take-and-go breakfast as well as has a counter seating area inside with complimentary Wi-Fi as well as a few tables and chairs outside to enjoy a quick breakfast on the way to a meeting, or to spend some early morning quality time in a relaxed atmosphere with family or friends, while enjoying some good coffee or tea, with breakfast sandwiches, fresh bagels with cream cheese, or bakery items. I arrived to have breakfast on an early morning of the most wonderful time of the year and after having won the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award a week earlier, was looking forward to reviewing this very unique Coffee Shop, Eatery, and more. First of all I was extremely impressed with the interior design of the Coffee Shop. It is by far the most beautifully designed Coffee Shop that I have evered visited. The attention to detail was evident even before one entered the place and even more after. It was evident in the design and quality materials used to create and house this Coffee Shop and more. I was very impressed with all the gift items exhibited there as well, such as cute stuffed animals, tumblers, and fine crystal items, to name a few. Second of all I was very impressed by the nice variety of coffees, other drink items, and exquisite foods, made available not only on the menu, but also inside beautiful display cases, elegantly labeled by name. And last but not least, I was extremely impressed by the extraordinary customer service provided by the young lady barista behind the counter, who was very knowledgeable about the Coffee Shop and all its available items. I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and a large Caffè Mocha. They both were wonderfully prepared and tasted amazingly delicious. I enjoyed them seated at the white marble counter facing the Christmas trees that decorate the Hotel during this Special time of the year. I highly recommend this Coffee Shop for a unique breakfast dining experience in a relaxed yet distinguished atmosphere, with wonderful food and drinks, and extraordinary customer service.

In receiving that generosity, I offered to treat him to lunch at this particular Chili's restaurant near my hotel at the Tanglewood Mall Roanoke. I wasn't feeling at the time and I knew Chili's was kind of pricey, but had delicious fare. My friend was hungry and I wasn't really at the time. We arrived here around 11:30am on a brisk Sunday morning driving up from Rocky Mount. The ambiance was as pleasant as I remember it to be. It was quiet and nice and away from the kitchen, where it is usually noisier than normal. We had booth seating with a window view and that was cool. The service was good, pleasant, and friendly. My friend and I spent about an hour here from start to finish. I basically ordered chocolate molten cake, since I loved these and is relatively inexpensively priced. It really hit the spot after finishing another 50km ultra marathon in Rocky Mount the day before and it was my reward for it. My friend decided to sample a sampler platter, where it looked pretty good and delicious. I also had a strawberry margarita with my chocolate molten cake just because it just made sense. It was a celebration of sorts and it just happened in this Chili's location in Roanoke, Virginia. I enjoyed these conversation and the overall time spent here. Too bad vacations have to end. It was a quick meal before my friend had to return the rental car and head to the airport himself. For the most part though, the meal was good, especially with the alcohol involved. I even got carded and being over 40+ years old. I guess I still look young or something. If you are in the Roanoke area and love to party, consider coming to Chilis, where the alcohol is good and their food is better. The chocolate molten cake is always a winner every single time. Check it out for yourself. The overall experience here at this Chilis restaurant at the Tanglewood Mall area of Roanoke, Virginia was typical in what you'd expect here. It was quiet on a Sunday since the NFL season was over after Ty Super Bowl. It can get loud but i was glad it was not. It is nice to have those restroom facilities to use on site as well. The restaurant itself was clean and had good air conditioning, even though it was mildly cool outside at the time (low 50's F). The strawberry margarita paired nicely with the chocolate molten cake that I ordered. It was smooth and definitely helped with the entire meal and conversation. My friend decided to have a 3 item simpler platter, which worked good for him. Everything was tasty and the service was good. At the end of the meal, we paid the lunch tab on the device on our table instead of having the server take the payment to a central pay terminal and do the transaction there. After hanging out and just enjoying Sunday morning in Roanoke while having lunch, we left and went our separate ways. For the most part though, it was a good meal with my friend. We both did the event in Rocky Mount the day before and coming to Chilis was a celebration of what the human body is capable of when we believe in ourselves. Hope to be back one day soon for another round of celebrations. But for now, it was definitely a nice time here at Chilis. If you find yourself in Roanoke, Virginia and want lunch or dinner, or possibly just drinks, consider coming down to Chilis here at the Tanglewood Mall. Quite magnificent and very nice on any day or night you might be here. This Chilis location is located at the Tanglewood Mall complex in Roanoke, Virginia. It's physically at 4212 Electric Road, Roanoke. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. I think they do mobile ordering too, but you'd need the app for that. As far as parking goes, you have a generous helping of parking spots since it's attached to the Tanglewood Mall. If you are a fan of public transportation in Roanoke, bus route 55 will take you directly here from the 3rd street bus terminal In downtown Roanoke. And of course, there is Uber and Lyft to get you here as well. Best bet would be to get here early enough to secure your favorite parking spot and walk on over. Or get here early enough to enjoy the food and drinks that you were looking forward to all week long. I definitely recommend the chocolate molten cake. I think it's been a signature dish of Chilis as far as I can remember and they have it at all locations, I think. Definitely worth the price for sure and with some alcohol, it's definitely worth every penny. At least for this experience anyway. If you fancy a good lunch or dinner, make it Chilis if you're in the Roanoke area. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B

However, one of the best features of their app is that you can join the wait list through the app and once you get to the restaurant, you'll already be closer to the top of the line. Today I got there at 3:20PM for a late lunch, early dinner, so there was no wait. As soon as I arrived a young, friendly gentleman took me to a table. There, it didn't take long for my server to arrive, greet me, and take my order. I ordered a lemonade to drink and one of my favorite dishes on the menu, the Filet Medallions, cooked medium-rare, to eat. This dish consists of three tender filets (9 oz.total) topped with their Portobello Mushroom sauce and served over season rice, with two sides. For sides I had a cup of their Chili and a House Salad with blue cheese dressing. I requested that the Chili and salad be served first, before my main entrée. As I waited, I enjoyed drinking my iced cold lemonade and eating their famous yeast rolls with their signature Cinnamon Honey Butter, which is a sweet whipped spread made from butter, powder sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Served freshly made, these rolls are a delight. The chili was delicious, served with chopped onion and graded cheese. The House Salad with blue cheese dressing was also very fresh and delicious. Shortly afterwards, but before I had finished my salad, the main entre arrived. Timing is very important in bringing out your order, but here they seem not to pay attention to this because the table next to mind also had their salad and main entrée out at the same time. My server noticed when I had finished my lemonade and brought me a refill in another glass. When the main entrée arrived, it looked and tasted delicious, however their season rice was over seasoned and for this reason tasted very salty and didn't allow the flavor of the Portobello Mushroom sauce to stand out. I didn't order dessert because I was planning on having it later at Blue Cow Creamery. Overall, if it were not for the very salty overseasoned rice, and the serving of the main entrée too soon, it would have been a perfect dining experience. I hope the manager of the restaurant reads this review and takes action to correct this, because it is the little things like this that make the big difference in the enjoyment of a meal.

Crowning touch? Walking back to the truck for something I forgot and realizing 2 spots over was an employees vehicle with fresh puke right outside the door. Either they puked and rallied and went to work recently, or they stepped in someone else's and traipsed it right into the restaurant. Almost didn't eat breakfast when it finally arrived after that. Honestly, if you're looking on Yelp you probably know not to go to Denny's, I hadn't been in 25+ years and it won't happen again. Only came in because we were ignored while waiting to order elsewhere and thought we'd give it a try.
