    Amazing food on the river
    Ashley O.

    They were able to accommodate our large party without a reservation on a Saturday during homecoming weekend. The service was on point and the food...AMAZING. Jessica our server, took exceptional care of us. Chef Dave was kind enough to come meet us so we could give him or compliments. We live all over the country and could agree that our 5 steaks were without a doubt the best we'd ever had. The views are breath taking and the outdoor terrace provided us with an intimate setting that allowed us to let our hair down a bit. Come give this hidden gem a try!

    This is not a place anyone can eat. Reservation or large party only. Its inside a lodge on a golf course full of old yippes.

The beer was solid and we drink a lot of beer. We didn't want to get too full so we ordered 3 appetizers and all of them were AWESOME. Not kidding. My husband was very satisfied. We got the Tenderloin Crostinis, Spinach and artichoke dip with chips, and peel and eat shrimp that was cook in their own beer. So. Freaking. Good. As for beer, I got the No. 4 Porter (loved it) and my husband got the 1/2 Shot IPA (loved it). Service was great. Our waitress was very sweet. As it's winter, we didn't get a chance to enjoy the back patio but the inside was very cozy. We sat in a booth and it was nice and secluded. You can even see into the room where the magic happens! If you're in the area, I definitely recommend. My husband already wants to come back on our way back down to Tennessee.

    We came in at 6:55 on a Saturday night when they are advertised to stay open until 8:30. We only…read morehad 4 adults and did not have a strict timeline on things being quick. They turned us away and told us they just had no help and were too backed up to accept any more customers. Meanwhile, the parking lot was more than half empty. No one waiting. No lines. Horrible impression. Horrible customer service. Won't be back.

    Great casual restaurant in the Hotel Roanoke. The lobby bar is also great and I had a terrific…read morecocktail there (Virginia Vardier, maybe?) with super service and a very chill vibe. This review will focus on the actual restaurant, where I had lunch with my husband and our friend. It was quiet the day we were there so we got a lot of personal attention. We started with unsweetened iced teas and then since we weren't starved, we ordered some appetizers to share. We had: -deviled eggs (good but the filling was too solid and cold...I like the yellow to be a little creamier and light); -fried cauliflower-the star of the show; it tasted almost like a sweet Korean fried chicken; -Butternut squash salad- also delicious, with nicely roasted butternut squash chunks and a really good dressing; -Pimento cheese dip- excellent dip served with toast. Pimento cheese isn't much of a thing in NYC where I live so I've been trying it every time I see it in Roanoke. We really liked everything we had and the service was so nice. The room itself is gorgeous and feels historic. I'm a fan.

I had the Reuben (lotsa meat) with a side of mashed sweet potatoes that was awesome.. we fought over that. Virginia Ground Burger was tasty, it is grass fed so a bit gamey compared to grain fed in case you're not used to that. The fries were fine & the fry sauce was yummy!

The menu is also very southern and tough to choose what get, but the fried chicken was amazing, pimento Mac n cheese was amazing, homemade biscuit/apple butter was amazing, Cole slaw best ever.

I was caught off guard when my friend walked up the stairs to the house because from initial appearance, I wouldn't have thought this was the restaurant! Upon walking in, the host greeted us and told us his name was Dan and that he was the owner of the restaurant! It was really cool to see that the owner is truly passionate about his restaurant and will show up to put in the work, even during the later hours. In terms of the food, I went with the Hungry Hokie which was a mashed potato bowl with with bits of meatloaf and chicken, green beans, macaroni and cheese. It also came with a biscuit or cornbread, I opted in with the cornbread. The food was absolutely hearty and had pretty good flavor! The one wish that I had was that it came in a bigger portion as it didn't fully fill me up. If I was in town again, I'd definitely consider going back to try the other items on the menu!
