    Breakfast Sandwich with sourdough, sausage, over medium eggs and potatoes
    Virginia T.

    Such a great breakfast spot! We met up with family here before heading out on our road trip to NC. The service was friendly and spot-on quick, attentive, and everything came out just right. A big thank you to the staff for giving us the space and time to catch up with loved ones I hadn't seen in over two years. It meant a lot to start our day with good food and even better company!

    The building where the restaurant is located.

    From the very first time I was Googling "best places to have breakfast near me" and I ended up with the Famous Toastery as one of my results, I was wanting to go try it out. Even before visiting the restaurant, I was attracted by the beautiful new construction building structure, both inside the outside ans in the inside. By their clean, we'll organized, and neatly arranged interior design and seating area. And last but not least by their extensive menu with quality items for breakfast and for lunch. The 3 items I read about that interest me most were: 1. The Huevos Rancheros, 2. The Peach Crepes, and 3. The Maine Lobsters. The last two only offered on weekends. So one day I decided to go visit this restaurant and see for myself if all that I had read and seen of this restaurant from their website and reviews were actually true. I arrived in Keagy Village, the outdoor mall area where the restaurant is located, on a beautiful Wednesday, early Autumn morning, during the time when the leaves were starting to change colors. From the beautifully designed entrance sign of this outdoor mall to the architectural solid design of the building structure where the restaurant was located, to the beautiful interior design with the use of the color yellow in several tones, and nicely placement of lights to create a very pleasant lighting treatment, this restaurant stood out as a one of a kind, lovely place to have an amazing breakfast or lunch. As soon as I entered the place, the host welcomed me with a smile and warm greeting and took me to one of the medium size tables centrally located in the restaurant. I very much appreciated this greatly because there is nothing worth than being seated at a small table when the restaurant is hardly full. She also handed me the menus which I quickly began browsing and enjoying. Soon after I sat down, a friendly server with a great personality came by to see what I wanted to drink and answer any questions that I had about the menu. I ordered a cup of coffee, and when she told me their orange juice was freshly squeezed, I ordered a glass of orange juice as well. For breakfast I ordered their Huevos Rancheros: Two eggs over medium, with fresh avocado, pico de gallo, and cilantro served over a bed of smashed black beans, cheddar, feta, and crispy tortilla strips. I also asked her to add two portions of chorizo extra. When the food arrived it looked like a culinary masterpiece and tasted amazingly delicious. I enjoyed every bit of it and my server came by at the appropriate times to see how I was doing and refill my coffee. After having this exquisite breakfast I wanted to end with something sweet so I asked if they had the Peach Crepes, but she told me they were only made on the weekends. So instead I had a Cinnamon Roll: Puff pastry swirled with a rich mixture of cinnamon and brown sugar, topped with cream cheese glaze. Needless to say, it was simply different than any other that I had ever had, and simply delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant as a one of a kind place to enjoy unique breakfast and lunch items, in a relaxed environment with extraordinary customer service.

    The food was delicious. They have gluten free options which is so refreshing and they actually taste good! The service is quite nice. I would highly recommend checking this place out! Just keep in mind that they do have gluten options and that cross contamination is always a risk when eating out.

    I have been here several times and it never disappoints. Great breakfast and great cocktails.

    Decided to try this place for New Year's Day breakfast although it was a drive for us, there aren't a ton of breakfast places on the outskirts of Roanoke and I didn't feel like driving downtown. This resturant is located in a strip mall type layout so parking is limiting but we had no issues. There is a bar area and the layout was open. Tall ceilings, modern decor, clean and fresh atmosphere with upbeat happy music playing. We were told we'd have to wait 10 minutes even though there were multiple tables open but it was less than 10 minutes before we were called so no big deal. There are a few wooden benches to sit on while waiting. Our server promptly greeted us, brought drinks and took our orders and then disappeared for most of the rest of the time. We didn't need anything dire but it would have been nice to have the dirty dishes cleared to deter my small children from playing with them. We ordered the kids flap jacks, fruit, egg and bacon which was all very tasty and visually appealing. I ordered the protein power bowl which was not only beautiful when it came out but very tasty. I was apprehensive about the balsamic glaze painted on my eggs but it sort of worked. Coffee was okay, probably not the freshest pot and had a slight char taste. The service was the least appealing part of the experience which is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. The quality of the food for the price was outstanding. Only $33 for a family of 3 with drinks isn't bad for breakfast. All in all a win. Famous Toastery is worth your time, try it out.

    Orange juice

    One of the best brunch spots in Roanoke! We came here on a busy Sunday morning, but didn't have to wait since we got on the waitlist online. We were seated pretty quickly. I tried the Huevos Rancheros. Our table also got the fresh juices ( I tried the orange). Both were delicious and very filling. Parking is pretty easy since they have a large lot that wraps around the back. The one minor downside I noticed was that the service was a bit inconsistent. We had multiple different servers and had to ask for things like water and silver ware multiple times. Not a big deal overall but wanted to point it out.

    Famous Hash with diced corned beef and potatoes, two eggs over easy, gluten free Hollandaise sauce, and gluten free multi grain toast.

    Updated on March 3, 2024, because we managed to eat in, and I remembered to take pictures this time. My son and I drove through Roanoke and stopped to dine in. We arrived at 1:00 p.m. and were told there would be a 20-minute wait. We were seated almost 30 minutes later, and I asked the host Jordan if the Hollandaise sauce is gluten free. I have a medical issue and must avoid gluten. She asked and let me know that it is gluten free. We were promptly greeted by our server Thad. We ordered water, and on a whim I ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice. They have a counter top automated juicer. My son ordered the French Toast and Bacon, and I ordered their Famous Hash. The hash is diced corned beef and potatoes with two eggs any style on top with Hollandaise sauce and toast. While we briefly waited for breakfast, I noticed that my glass of OJ separated (picture attached). I used my straw from my water to stir it, and it was fine after that. Breakfast was delivered quickly, and we immediately started eating. In addition to the meals being served, the runner delivered our check. My son enjoyed the French toast and bacon and finished quickly. I really enjoyed the hash as it was hot and flavorful. The Hollandaise was okay, and the toast was good. Although there were plenty of jelly and jam options on the table, I would have liked to have some butter for my toast. Perhaps if there had been time when turning over the table for the next customers, they could have refilled the little dish with pats of butter. I really enjoyed the food, and we left about 2:00 p.m. Service was quick and efficient. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On February 25, 2024, my son and I stopped by for a takeout order. We would have eaten in, but we were in a hurry and the place was packed. My son ordered French toast with a side of bacon, and I ordered the Reuben on GF multi grain bread. The hostess Jordan took my order and understood the precautions that needed to be taken for my gluten intolerance. She ensured that the kitchen was verbally notified in addition to noting it in the order. The Reuben was delicious, and safe for me to eat. My son's French toast was cooked to perfection and consisted of 6 triangles lightly dusted with powdered sugar and syrup on the side. He would have preferred more powdered sugar but otherwise enjoyed it. The three strips of bacon were thick and flavorful. When we have more time, we would love to sit down to enjoy the service and atmosphere.

    Crab omelette with sour dough toast and potatoes
    Jill B.

    We visited this place with family. We had 9 people and only had to wait a little while for them to push some tables together and then we were sat. My kids loved the waffles with whipped cream and berries. (Sorry I forgot to take a before picture of the waffle).) I got a special: crab omelette with sour dough toast and the potatoes. The omelette was delicious and the toast with butter was good. I asked for the potatoes to be well done because I like the sides to be crispy but they were soft and the same as someone else's order so they didn't do anything special. My husband liked his food and added chorizo to it. Overall we would go again. I would order fruit or something else for my side though. I tried two potatoes and didn't eat the rest so they got wasted unfortunately and I am not a fan of wasting food. :(

Yet never in my wildest dream would I have imagined that it was designed by a kid, the nephew of the owner. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants 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 Subshack in Salem, Virginia, is the perfect example. After arriving to this Sub Shop located in a small strip mall in the middle of nowhere, in Salem, Virginia, the friendly owner of the place, who has a wonderful personality, gave me a warm welcome and immediately, in a nutshell, told me the story of how this place came to be. Born and raised in New York and having lived for many years in North Carolina, the opportunity of opening up this business here in Salem, Virginia came up and he literally went for it. And aren't we lucky he did because it is an ingenious little Sub Shop, a product of two persons who let their imagination run wild and then worked hard to see their dream of owning a little restaurant come true. And don't be confused by its name, it simply means a small place where large Subs are made for people to savor and enjoy. Thus we have: the "SUBSHACK." This restaurant is mostly for orders To-Go, yet outdoor, in front, it has a picnic table, for customers who would enjoy eating there during the warm Seasons of the year. They bake their own Sub bread in-house daily, and also have daily Specials. Today's Special was: "BUY ANY LARGE SUB GET A FREE DRINK & CHIPS." So I ordered their large Italian Sub. The Sub bread was gigantic and their Deli meats were also quality and huge. On top of this there was a large list of ingredients you could add to the Sub. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review and see for yourselves. Besides Hot and Cold Subs, they also serve Paninis, Desserts, and Milkshakes and Smoothies. I can't wait to return and try their Cuban Panini. In conclusion I definitely recommend this Sub place as a very unique place if you're looking for good food, prepared in a welcoming and friendly environment, by a warm and kindhearted individual.

Located in a standalone building next to a 7-Eleven/Gas Station at 206 Apperson Drive, Cafe Express is a small, family-owned and operated New York Style Deli, run by a husband-and-wife team who immigrated from Nepal years ago and for 18 years have worked hard to make this small, unasuming deli, one of Salem's most precious culinary hidden gems. At first I didn't think nothing of it. Its storefront and location are not that impressive, but after driving by it many times, one day I just had to stop and try it out. From the very beginning, after parking in a space right in front of the deli, I was very impressed by its cleanliness. Its front windows and glass door were so clean and shiny that they were like mirrors reflecting their surroundings which in part was the gas station. But don't be fooled by this. In the past I've discovered exceptional eateries located at gas stations small strip malls. Once inside, I was fascinated by what I saw. There were three beautiful wooden relief carvings on the walls, framed magazine articles of the deli and its owners, framed Award Certificates including one from Yelp, a Buddha artwork on a plate, and a beautiful oil painting, painted by none other than by the owner himself. Both Prakash Malakar and his wife Sarojani gave me a warm welcome and made me feel at home. Eager to learn about their place of origin and culture I ask them about this.The owner explained how they came from Nepal, which is located in between China and India. Afterwards, his wife showed me the menu and the Specials written in colorful chalks over a chalkboard. I was attracted to their "Pastrami Royale and after she explained what items it had, I went ahead and ordered it along with some fries and a fountain softdrink. Not exaggerating, it was one of the most delicious sandwiches that I've ever had. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its amazing high-quality food. For dessert I had a small bowl of their homemade rice pudding. After I finished eating I paid with one of my credit cards via my Google Pay which they accepted and left them a nice tip. In conclusion, I highly recommend this place for its warm and comfortable ambiance, great menu, exquisite food, and remarkable customer service by a kind and friendly couple.

And Joe's Deli, in Salem, Virginia, is a perfect example. Located right next to the City of Salem Farmer's Market and its parking lot, where you can conveniently park for up to two hours, enough time to park and walk across the street to Joe's Deli to have something to eat.While I was walking, I noticed a mural with a rendition of people eating at Joe's Deli painted on the side of the building, which I found very interesting. Once inside, during around lunch time, the restaurant was modern and clean with a minimalist decor. The dining area had both regular size and high tables and chairs, and also a small bar counter with a large screen TV and a framed American Flag under it. On the wall leading to the ordering counter there was a poster with a QR code to be able to skip the line by ordering online on their website. Next to this there was another poster with the Roanoke College Wrestling schedule for the season. The atmosphere here was incredibly warm and inviting, making for a really comfortable experience. On top of that, this was by far one of the cleanest delis I've ever visited; it's clear they take take great take great pride in their space. I waited in line as a lady in front of me was making her order at the ordering counter and a gentleman was waiting standing up for his take-out order. While I waited I took a menu brochure from the counter and planned what to order. When it was my turn to order, a friendly lady greated me at the ordering counter and answered some questions that I had about what I was planning to order. I ordered a Reuben Pastrami that came on a white rye bread, and included a bag of chips. To drink I ordered a Pepsi since they carried Pepsi products. When my order was ready they called my name and I went to pick it up. The sandwich came wrapped in a nice, heavyweight waxed sandwich paper. When I opened it at my table, the sandwich was humongous, filled with a generous amount of quality Pastrami, Swiss cheese, Sauerkraut, and Thousand Island on a white rye bread, and was toasted. It was amazingly delicious! So much so that I went back and complimented the owner and chef of the restaurant, in person through the window that led to the kitchen.

While we opted not to explore the drink menu, we were eager to see what the kitchen had to offer. The menu itself is concise, focusing primarily on wings, sandwiches, and pizzas, supplemented by a few small appetizers. ​The culinary style is quite eclectic. They feature several unconventional toppings and flavor combinations that might seem a bit eccentric at first glance. ​The Culinary Experience ​I decided on a flatbread-style pizza topped with: ​Smoked chicken ​Pickles ​Peppadew-style peppers (which resembled small cherry tomatoes) ​A tangy, zesty sauce reminiscent of an enchilada base with an extra "zing." ​My wife opted for a "build-your-own" pizza featuring red onions, pepperoni, and bell peppers. Although she realized too late that she had forgotten to request light sauce, she noticed the oversight immediately upon the dish's arrival. ​Service Observations ​The service was a bit of a mixed bag. Our waitress was professional but remarkably brisk. She lacked the usual pleasantries or "small talk" one might expect, focusing instead on efficiency. While her haste felt a bit impersonal, I couldn't complain about her attentiveness--she was incredibly prompt at refilling my iced tea the moment my glass was empty. Make sure you bring your pocketbook this pizza brings a sting at the register.

It's the typical thinner crust that restaurants serve in the area with the difference that it is perfectly cooked . Not dry at all! Will definitely order again and try to their other dishes .

When I got there, they were dead, but by the time I left, they were packed. So, clearly it's a popular joint. The staff was helpful and very friendly. Prices are decent there too. They offer a nice mix of Venezuelan and Italian food... seems like an odd combo, but they did a decent job with the items I tried. I love arepas, so I ordered a Pabellon Arepa and a small veggie pizza. The food came up pretty quickly; the pizza was perfectly hot. The crust was the right thickness and had plenty of cheese and fresh toppings on it. The only issue was there was hardly any tomato sauce on it. I asked for a side of tomato sauce to dip into. The sauce was very thin and lacked much tomato flavor. The arepa was packed full of meat. The beef was seasoned perfectly and tasted great. The bun though was kind of tough, sort of like it was stale. The venue is small, but clean and welcoming. Their menu is loaded with many options too. Overall, it was a nice dinner.

    Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined such an extraordinary Grocery and Cafe that opened…read moreits doors in 2019 after quality extensive renovations to Tinnell's Finer Foods, when it closed its doors after 82 years of serving the South Roanoke community. When I came to visit this place for the first time I had no idea that it had a close relationship to the River and Rail Restaurant which I reviewed last year, giving it the highest rank of my Five Star reviews ever. When doing my research for this review I found out that the long-time Roanoke residents, Whit and Lauren Ellerman, the owners of Crystal Spring Grocery, are also the owners of the River and Rail Restaurant, located on the same block as Crystal Spring Grocery. The Ellermans clearly have an eye for recognizing the possibilities of vacant buildings and the talents of others and a vision of how they can come up with something as wonderful as this establishment. Gourmet grocery store and Cafe is a short definition of what Crystal Spring Grocery Company is all about. But I must go more in depth of what makes it so special and unique beside being gourmet. First of all I was very impressed with the interior design of the building space. Simple yet beautiful in its simplicity. I particularly loved its shiny whitish gray floors, and the green furniture and design, throughout the Grocery as well as Cafe. Also, I was very impressed with the windows and lighting treatment of the place. Second, I was very impressed with the quality and organization of the food items and wines, in the Grocery area. Third, with the menu items and quality of the food coming out of the kitchen of the Cafe. I had an Iced Sweet Tea to drink, and a Chicken Sandwich with Fries to eat. Everything was amazingly delicious. And last, but not least, I was highly impressed with the quality of your employees; with the ones behind the counter up front and the ones taking the orders and handing them out in the Cafe area. They all were so friendly and welcoming and at the same time so knowledgeable and organized, providing exceptional customer service individual and working as Team players. I highly recommend this Grocery and Cafe to everyone reading my review and viewing my photographs accompanying this review. This place is another gem in the this neighborhood.

    We ordered and over 9 people got their food before us. I talked the manager , some lady named…read moreRosa,, was nasty when I asked why other people have been served. Her excuse was that they take online orders as well. That is not my problem. Then the next excuse was that the bagel melt had to be put under the broiler. She and another man were talking about me and I told them if they had something to say it to my face. To think that the owner came down to GA to learn from our friend and owner of a bagel shop. I am appalled that the Roanoke staff had more people and about over double the space and they take three times as long. Two people were standing around not doing (a guy and a girl) anything but talking and laughing. There was even a little kid in the kitchen. He could have only been around 8. That should not be allowed and I am going to the labor and restaurant laws to see it is legal. Where I work, everyone picks up the slack. Piss poor service and Rosa needs to not make excuse and should in my opinion be fired. I did lose my temper but don't tell me one excuse and then another. The last thing she screamed at me that it had only been 12 minutes. I got a couple other receipts from people and their wait time was ten minutes after us. Rosa should be fired and the man with the beard should be reprimanded and even fired. Lastly, most restaurants require something on their hair and beard and NO was wearing them. No hair nets. Rosa had on an Aunt Jemima style wrap but she wasn't work hard either. So sad because we loved the fact that one of our favorite bagel shop from GA was coming here. Update: there is a law that said restaurant staff has to cover hair and beards. The link to the law in VA. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title12/agency5/chapter421/section240/

I assume it's staffing issues but the inside was slow my most recent visit at 8:30. Also, I really want to support local so I am hoping this comes across as constructive criticism. The dining area in the morning is not kept up or organized, chairs are everywhere and workers seem consumed with to go orders instead of the restaurant. The bagels have great flavor and the cream cheese is always perfect, but please toast the bagel. A warm bagel is not a toasted bagel it's almost seemed microwaved. Maybe I'm ordering wrong, but I want a toasted bagel that's browned. Lastly, is 8 dollars for bagel and coffee the right price? National average is 6 and it's 8 in NYC or Seattle.

    Today, just only two weeks after opening, I discovered a very unique family-owned business by two…read morevery friendly and unique husband and wife partners. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new shops and restaurants 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 7 Stars Lounge in West Downtown Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. 7 Stars Lounge is a very unique business indeed. It's a combination of a Cigar Lounge, Bar, and Cafe. After retiring, Larry the co-owner with his wife Mini decided to open a business that embodied the things that they enjoy most in life. The husband enjoys smoking a good cigar, relaxing in a leather recliner, while watching a large screen TV or talking with friends. So originated the concept of a Cigar Lounge. In their business, this lounge is located in a separate adjacent room with leather recliners, side tables, large screen TVs, and two pool tables. Just outside of this room is a humidifier room where they have a great variety of quality cigars for sale. While other Cigar Lounges make you pay for a membership in order to enjoy the place. Here, as long as you purchase any item from the Cigar store, Bar, or Cafe. You have the right to enjoy the Cigar Lounge for free. The wife's, who is a Chinese native, and co-owner of the business, favorite food is the Chicago Hot Dog. So they decided that the Cafe specialty would center around the genuine Chicago-style Hot Dog, with autentic Vienna Beef Hot Dogs. This hot dog is inserted into a soft poppyseed bun and topped with mustard, Chicago-style relish, chopped onions, half-sliced tomatoes, a pickle spear, and a sport pepper, to give it that extra crunch and flavor. Besides this, they also have other Hot Dogs like the Chili Hot Dog, the Kraut Hot Dog, and the Original Hot Dog. As for me I like a good hot dog, so I welcome this new addition to the culinary lineup in the Star City. The menu also includes some Sandwiches, Breakfast Sandwiches, Bakery items, Salads, and authentic Fried Rice cooked by the wife. She is also planning on cooking freshly made donuts from scratch. The Bar they plan to have will only have beers (draft brews like Stella Artois and Heineken plus bottles and cans) and a selection of wines. The restaurant's space itself is a nice size and furnished with quality wood tables and chairs. They already plan to hold a group party their which will consume a selection of items from their menu. Today, I ordered two Chicago style Hot Dogs and a can of Dr Pepper to drink. And they tasted amazingly delicious. Specially the quality of the Vienna Beef franks, which is known for their signature snap, that you don't find in many other hot dog places. And the fresh and soft poppyseed buns that topped off the favor and texture of the dogs, not including the other wonderful ingredients. I'm not a smoker so one of my concerns going to eat there was if the smoke of the Cigar Lounge would reach the Cafe, and I can assure you it didn't. The door that devides the two is very tight. My other concern was the parking situation. But in front of the business they have several parking spaces for the exclusive use of their customers. I highly recommend this place for those who enjoy the different items I've written about in this review. The owners are so friendly and nice that we should give them our support. I'm looking forward to returning one morning to have breakfast there, and to trying out their homemade donuts and fried rice.
