    a plate of salad
    Josh D.

    Hidden little gem in the Clarion hotel! No idea it was there until I checked in and went to bar. The restaurant and hotel is new with gorgeous design and ambiance. The surprise was that the food is excellent. We ordered a few items including wings, Caesar salad, salmon, burger and pasta. My wife and I were impressed with everything we ordered and the food came out quick. The service staff was very kind and attentive. My only complaint would be that they need more of a wine (and by the glass) selection, and some kind of sign on the road so people know they are there! Otherwise - eat there!

    PBG Nightlife which is a plate with fried chicken wings drizzled in hot sauce and nachos made from Doritos chips

    I went into this place not knowing what to expect. This location inside the hotel has been somewhat cursed with a high turn over rate of restaurants. This area also used to be a pretty bad part of town although it seems the hotel at least has cleaned up and it shows. I went in for a very late afternoon lunch. It was almost empty when I arrived. Good atmosphere with pool tables. Looks like it would be a good spot to catch a game. My waitress was so friendly and on point I wish I could remember her name so I could give her credit. She even brought me free fresh chips and a dip made out of sour cream and guacamole while I waited. I had the PGB Nightlife, which was a plate of nachos and wings. The wings were okay. I liked that they were covered in hot sauce, though. The nachos I really liked. They were made using Doritos chips. I don't think they'd be for everyone, but as the name suggests, this would be an awesome late night food for when you are drunk and have the munchies, haha.

    We ordered and it took a long time to get our meals. The staff was good but I wouldn't go there again.

    The service was great and the food was delicious. My steak wasn't medium well, but was still great.

    Great Wings and More…read more Mad Flavorz is hard to describe. First and foremost, it's a wing shop - a very good wing shop. The wings are big, chunky, meaty, tender and smothered in a variety of unusual (and unusually tasty) Flavorz. I highly recommend the bone-in Mad Flavorz Bourbon Wings - a lot of flavor with a balance of sweet, heat and tang. I'm running out of adjectives, so I will simply say that these are some of the best Wings I ever ate. As the name would imply, it's also a Lounge with a full service bar, relaxed atmosphere super friendly service and extensive list of beers. It doesn't get much better than a pile of world-class wings and an ice cold Red Stripe. We were impressed with the diversity of the menu - everything from Burgers and Hoagies to Salads and Seafood. The Coconut Shrimp was institutional but delicious. The Specialty Sides are as good as the Wings.. The French Toast & Chicken Tenders Plate was a mixed bag. The Toast was disappointing (not restaurant quality), but the three good-sized Chicken Tenders were nicely done - crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Fish Whopper Sandwich lived up to its name. The very large filet was golden brown, crispy and served on a fresh soft bun. Add a side of perfectly fried Okra and you have a satisfying meal. The Jamaican Beef Patty - much like an oversized empanada - had a nice crispy shell filled with flavorful minced beef. It was extra tasty with a little of the Cajun Jamaican Jerk Sauce. My biggest issue with Mad Flavorz is that they are often out of several menu items and beers (Lobster Pops, Banana Pudding, Cheesecake, Red Stripe, Modello to mention a few). I hope this is a temporary situation. Having said that, I still very much enjoy eating at this somewhat quirky eatery.

    Best wings around! Always go extra crispy if you like em like that. Def recommend it!read more

We chose to sat outside out in the patio and many great customers that were also enjoying their time at bleachers. Ordered the buffalo chicken wrap it said fried but they let me know they could do it grilled, so I chose that. I upgraded to a side of fries instead of the house potato chips. The food was what you would expect as bar food. Not fine dining but definitely tasted good and got the job done, plus we didn't go in there expecting fine dining we went in and got exactly what we had planned on getting so I feel it was very fitting. The only thing I would say is for the fries, is if we would have had the malt vinegar and ketchup brought out. Everyone was enjoy their time and we met lots of nice people. The servers were kind and brought us some water out for the pup. The pup enjoyed himself and meeting everybody. He even made himself comfortable to take a photo and promote. Would definitely come back again!

    I had work travel this week to Pittsylvania County, VA. This is my 1st Danville, VA or even…read morePittsylvania County Yelp review. I'm writing this while back in Danville for my work travel specifically today Thursday, September 10. My girlfriend & I made more of a vacation out of this from Sunday, 9/6 to Sunday, 9/13. We spent one night at an old friend of mine in Raleigh, NC and got to her parent's Smith Mountain Lake house in Franklin County on Monday night. We drove through Danville on Monday evening. I wanted BBQ or southern, but it was Labor Day & some places were closed on Monday anyway. We drove by Ka Cafe, and they were closed. We didn't want to waste much time looking for another restaurant or drive that far as we were hungry. We saw River District had good reviews and just went with that. It's a huge brick building looked like an old industrial building in the past. I parallel parked behind someone else, but there were also plenty of spots in their parking lot. We were confused as we saw 2 entrances, but we followed another customer in. We asked the friendly host about the 2 entrances, and he said I'll show you. The left entrance we went in was by the standard bar area with a mix of high top tables, booths, & the bar itself. The right side had another bar with bar seating, bowling alley, & games. We chose the standard one as we figured the other side seemed like it could get hectic. I also asked him if they had any specialties like southern foods, and he said it's more of standard burgers, sandwiches, & wings. Although I had my heart set on southern food or BBQ, I settled as we were hungry and didn't want to waste more time. Our server was very nice and efficient. I saw that their specialties were starred on their menu. I asked her recommendations too. Per the stars, her recommendation, & my gut I went with the hot honey chicken sandwich fried and upgraded to sweet potato fries for $2 more. My girlfriend was craving a standard burger & got the standard fries. Wow, excellent hot honey chicken & sweet potato fries. The bun was nicely buttered for extra flavoring. I tried a bite of my g/f fries & she tried my sweet potato. We liked on own more. Likewise, a bite of her burger, which I could tell was good quality, but I liked my hot honey chicken more. And she thought mine was good but liked her burger more. She came around to check on us a few times, getting water refills. My girlfriend & I had a discussion of another restaurant we were just at 2 days earlier relatively close to home in Maryland. She said I bet she asks if we want dessert or need anything else before slapping the bill down, which the MD restaurant did. Server came around to ask if we needed anything else, which we said no. Then, she came back with the bill and went above & beyond asking if we wanted to go cups of water. Perhaps, we could tell we were travelers as we didn't have a southern accent and wanted to provide southern hospitality, which we don't really get back home in MD. Restaurant & restroom was also clean. Overall, this was an excellent choice as both host & server was friendly and great food!

    Came in on a Tuesday night with my best friend for the $5 burger deal, which is a solid start. Just…read moreknow you are getting their standard burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and fries. Simple and classic. We both made a few tweaks. She skipped the onions, added ketchup and mustard, and got a side salad. I kept mine simple with no ketchup or mustard. Food came out fast. Appetizer and burgers hit the table in just over five minutes, which was impressive. The burgers were good. Not over the top, but juicy and worth the price. The only miss was the bun. It was cold and could have used a quick toast or at least some heat. The house salad was fresh with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cheese, and croutons. I tried to swap my fries for sweet potato fries and ended up getting both, so no complaints there. Just know the sweet potato fries count as extra. Fries came out hot and stayed hot. The sweet potato fries had a nice balance, not soggy, not too hard. The corn fritters were the standout. Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet inside. Service from Amber or Shannon was great. Attentive, friendly, and helpful. The only slowdown came at the end. It took longer to get the check than it did to receive the food. The space is in a reclaimed industrial building with exposed brick and high ceilings. Very large and open with plenty of room for groups and events. There is a main dining area, a busy bar, and a separate section with bowling lanes. The crowd was mixed. Families, couples, groups, people at the bar, even a few on laptops. Plenty of TVs and music, but it stays at a manageable level. Accessibility is decent with a lift available. Parking is nearby street or lot parking. Overall, a fun, casual place with strong value, especially on Tuesday nights. Must order: Corn fritters Heads up: Buns may come out cold and sweet potato fries are an extra
