    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Protein Bowl

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tall ceilings, modern decor, clean and fresh atmosphere with upbeat happy music playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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
    Tripti R.

    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.
    Lisa M.

    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. :(

    "Famous" corned beaf hash
    Kamuela O.

    So not sure why their hash is famous... the eggs were not cooked right, there was very little beef in the hash itself and it wasn't fully cooked. The other dishes, the blue crab egg scramble, was very bland. Eggs were watery not much crab and let much to be desired. It seemed like there was more onions than anything else. Rarely leave negative reviews but this one might be a skip if you can. The saving grace was the service was good and my tea stayed full.

    French toast with bacon

    We got there on around 1pm on a Sunday. 30 minute wait, but they text you so you can wait in your car. The service was nice and the food was really excellent. The breakfast bowl doesn't look like much, but the potatoes are well cooked and seasoned well, the eggs were cheesy and the gravy flavorful. I added some hot sauce and ate nearly every bite. Definitely will be returning, one of my new fav restaurants!

    My dining experience was incredible thanks to Tim, who made the Pineapple Upside Down Cake drink!

    There are times that you discover restaurants that you wish you had known since they first opened…read more You really feel at home in its clean and laid back environment. They treat you like if you're part of their family. And their food is like the one Gradma used make when you were growing up. What better compliment can you give a restaurant! 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 Uncle D's Take Out, in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. And it's not just for Take Out anymore. Word of mouth is still the most effective way of making your business known. And in this day and age of modern technology a review in the form of words and photographs is as effective or even better. As I was searching on my cellphone for a place to eat, Uncle D's caught my attention. Mostly positive reviews and very captivating photographs of their food. Yet the words Take Out and very few photos of the interior of this restaurant somewhat detracted from the desire to go visit it. Yet in the past I've found that oftentimes restaurants with high take-out orders are also the ones who have a high level of in-house customer followers. So I decided to go dine in and what I uncovered by experience was amazing news: Uncle D's is not just for Take Out anymore. Dining in is a wonderful experience in and of itself, alone or with family and friends. Located in a contemporary looking strip mall across from the Oak Grove Plaza Shopping Center, where popular restaurants like Wildwood Smokehouse and Highlander Pizza are located, you can find Uncle D's next to The UPS Store. Parking was very conveniently located and as I walked to the restaurant their sign high above spoke quality in its design and in the food of which it represented. Inside I found a nice size, clean and colorful little restaurant with Golf items decorating its walls, reflecting the importance that golf played in the owner's life and the love that he has for this sport he has now placed in this restaurant. I was greated by a friendly gentleman with a warm welcome that immediately made me feel at home. He talked to me about the restaurant and it's most popular items in the menu of which I had on the table where I was seated. A really nice and friendly lady, who was the cook, looked at me from out of the kitchen with one of those looks that only grandmas know to give in anticipation of watching you eat her food that she had prepared with much love. I ordered their Grandma's Pot Roast with a side house salad with Ranch dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, and added a side of Fiesta Corn. To drink a picked a can of Coke which I drank with one of those straws that bend for the convenience. The food was served in a reasonable time. The salad was made with fresh ingredients, was a nice size, and tasted wonderful with the Ranch salad dressing. The Pot Roast was amazingly delicious, soft, moist, and very full of flavor. The amount was more than enough to fill me up. I could go on and on but a picture is worth a thousand words. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of it all. For dessert I has a slice of their Coconut Cream Pie which was also very good. If you're ever in the mood for good hometown Southern Comfort food, I highly recommend that you visit this restaurant with family and friends. For the full dining experience is definitely worth while. And experience that I will never forget.

    My sister and I stopped at Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint in Roanoke after two ladies at the L&L…read moreshop downtown recommended it, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The place is small but quaint, with dim lighting, a full bar, and a fun mix of music genres that keeps the vibe relaxed but lively. I ordered the Gregg Brady, and my sister had the Doctor Gozo, both made with 100% Wagyu beef. You can taste the quality immediately. I added mushrooms and grilled onions for a small extra fee, and had my BBQ chips that come on it, on the side. We shared the crinkle‑cut fries, which came with their incredible house sauce. The sauce was so good I asked if they sold it, they do not, but the waitress sent me home with some samples for free. Service was fast and friendly. The waitresses were dressed in black tank tops, black shorts, and black shoes, and every one of them worked with a smile, like they were glad you came. The restaurant entrance itself is handicap accessible, but the bathrooms are not, they're very clean but also very small and too tight for a wheelchair to fit inside. One of the coolest things about Jack Brown's is their Beer Club. If you drink 100 different beers, you become a "Notcher." If you drink 1,000, different beers you become a "Saint." On Saint's Day, Saints get all food and drinks free, unlimited, with no tab. It's a huge part of their culture and adds to the fun, and a loyal community. Overall, the food was phenomenal, the staff went above and beyond, and the atmosphere made the whole visit top notch. I will definitely be coming back the next time I roll through this part of town. How to Become a Notcher (repeat for the Saints) To achieve Notcher status, individuals must follow these steps: 1. Visit a Jack Brown's location: Start by walking into any Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint. 2. Request a Notcher list: Ask for the Notcher list to begin your journey. 3. Try 100 different beers: Sample 100 different beers to reach Notcher status. 4. Join the community: Once you hit 100, you become part of the Notch Club, which includes various events and celebrations. This program encourages beer lovers to explore different flavors and styles while fostering a sense of community.

And this was not a fake promise like they tell you at other places to keep your hopes up. As soon as some customers left a table near by she went to clean it and set.it up for me. Last time I came here, I came with.a friend, this time I came along. And you know what, it didn't mind to her the size of the party, she treated everyone the same. With the same respect and caring attitude. And you know what. This is really what makes tje big difference in coming to eat here. In no time at all she had me seated at a 4 person booth looking over the menu and enjoying a Strawberry Saffron Tonic Mocktail which was the first thing I ordered. You know what, it doesn't matter what drink you have to enjoy yourself and have a good time, it's just a matter of attitude. Right then and there, you can sayI hadva great attitude of life. This is the kind of feeling this place brings out in their customers. More than customers, they see us as their guests. Even though I was looking at the menu, I already knew what I was going to have. A sandwich that ever since I moved to Roanoke, has become my favorite of them all in this Star City: The Ricky Ricardo of the Village Grill. Having been born in Cuba and grown up in Miami and Puerto Rico, I have learned to appreciate a good Cuban Sandwich. And this is not only one that comes close to it, but has perfected it with their golden touch and creativity, and yet maintaining it true identity. There is nothing greater one can say from an item from the menu. The fries that accompanied it were also amazing. My server Chelsea provided great service, coming by at the appropriate times to check on me. For dessert, I had the Cheesecake Du Jour that happened to be Peanut Butter, my favorite. What a Wonderful dining experience I had here. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place for its great ambiance, magnificent food, and excellent service. I can't say enough good things about it. I invite you to view my photographs that accompany this review and see for yourself, and then go visit this place and experience the magic.

    For a moment there, Garcia's Bistro had its regular customers heartbroken at the news that it had…read more"closed down permanently," but fortunately, not long after, the beloved spot pulled off a miraculous comeback, returning to the neighborhood better than ever before. This popular family-owned restaurant is well known for its blend of Mexican and American cuisine, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. It's amazingly designed menu has a very creative selection of entrées, like none that I've ever seen before in any restaurant. Its flavorful food is served in generous portions, by cooks dressed in black professional attire, that together wirh its elegant presentation, help create that unique "bistro" experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere with a diner-like feel. As soon as I found out the good news that the place had opened once again, I had to be one of the first ones to go visit and dine there. It seems that the two partners had split up. One stayed running this restaurant and the other chose to remain with their food truck. The only changes that I noticed were that some of the signs in front of the building were torn down and temporary homemade ones were put up. They had changed their business logo although their name remained the same, with the addition of the numbers 581. They already had menus with the new logo printed out, and their cooks remained the same, maintaining their elegant black professional attire. I was warmly greeted by a friendly lady employee as soon as I walked in. She remembered me from the last time I had dined there, and immediately detected my happy feelings of seeing the restaurant opened again. After being seated at one of the booths, she took my order. I had a Coke to drink, the Cancun Shrimp Chorizo Dip with Tortilla Chips as appetizer, and the California Burrito with added Chorizo as my main entrée. It was all very well presented and amazingly delicious, as always. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality of their food. The server did an excellent job checking on me to see if everything was of my liking and to see if I needed anything, including a softdrink refill. All the customers that came in expressed great joy at the re-opening of this well-liked restaurants. For dessert I had a slice of their Coconut Cake. It was amazing. At the end the owner who had stayed with the restaurant arrived and I expressed my gratitude and well wishes for the restaurant's future success. I highly recommend this Bistro to all. If I lived closer, I would be here dining more than once a week. It's that good!

    I have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world, but in none have I had such a wonderful…read moredining experience like I always do at Bernard's Gastropub & Eatery. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was 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 bring them to the attention of the public, but also to return to those special ones, that have made a difference in my life and highlight them, for the benefit of the public, so they too can have an opportunity to appreciate the qualities of a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience. And Bernard's Gastropub & Eatery in Downtown Roanoke, is a perfect example. Bernard's was born out of the love of two culinary aficionados turned professionals that in someway have managed to create a restaurant with an environment that transmits this intimate love to the hearts of their customers through the attention to detail in its extraordinary customer service and amazing culinary masterpieces. Today, I felt like dining at this restaurant, which I admire for its consistency in always far exceeding my high expectations of what a fine-dining restaurant should be all about. Not knowing if they would have a table for me at this late time on a Saturday early evening, I drove in my pearl white Lexus to the nearest private parking lot and gave them a call to inquire as if they could give me a reservation for the next ten minutes. A gentleman, who later I found out was named Matthew, and would be my server, answered the phone with a very polite and welcoming voice; answering my question of what was the special dish of the day and to come on down, that my reservation was assured. As soon as I arrived to the small, very elegant foyer in front of the Host's station, he came out to greet me and instantly recognized who I was. My only request was that he give me a low table because at my age seating at a high table was a bit uncomfortable. He went back to see what he could find and ended setting me up with what I consider one of the best tables of the house, and I was so appreciative of his last minute accommodation. The menu was already setup on my table. He poured water from a special bottle into my water glass and asked if I wanted something else to drink. I asked for a Mocktail and since he also was a bartender, he prepared me one of the best mocktails I've ever had. To dine, I started out with their Mussels Carbonara appetizer, which came in a bacon parmesan cream sauce that was simply amazing, and served with toast points. As my main entrée I had the Dinner Special of the Night, the Seafood Trio. It had a delicious, giant size crab cake in the middle, scallops, and shrimps, with parmesan risotto sautéed heirloom tomato, spinach, and nice size asparagus, with a burre blanc sauce. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the high-quality of their food and magnificent ambiance of the place. Everything was so delicious that only one word could ever describe them: priceless! For dessert I had their very famous Butterscotch Banana Pudding, which the chef makes at the moment ordered. It looked spectacular and tasted amazingly delicious: a culinary work of art. What a great way for the Gran Finale of an extraordinary dining experience!

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.

My wife's salad that came with her meal was dry, and the lettuce seemed old. Her chicken tenders were dried out and did not have a lot of flavor to them. I ordered an 11 ounce sirloin that I wanted cooked medium however, when it came out, it was well done. I sent a steak back and while I was in the bathroom, my recooked steak came to the table. The manager did remove my original fries which had no seasoning on them and brought me a basket of fries full of salt. He did not ask if the fries were unseasoned. The fries he brought were not edible as they were loaded with salt. The recooked steak was cooked to medium, but lacked flavor, and just didn't taste very good. I took most of it home with me. The highlight of the meal was my bowl of chili that came with my meal. I would expect better from Texas roadhouse. This is not the first instance we've had an issue at this restaurant. It's been a while since we've been out due to the weather and we were happy to be able to go out and choose your restaurant to go to. However, the quality of food fell extremely short of expectations.
