First, the overall service has consistently been lacking. The hostess at the front has never been particularly welcoming, and the service in general feels pretty disengaged. It's not necessarily outright rude - it just feels like there's no real effort, which sets the tone right away. We've noticed a big decline over the past 6-12 months. It used to be better, but lately it's just not the same. As for the food... it's simply not worth the price. We're talking $100+ tabs and leaving disappointed every time. This last visit really sealed it for us. I ordered something very simple, and my son got a basic chicken sandwich - chicken, bun, pickles, ketchup, cheese. It came out with a barely toasted bun and chicken that tasted like it had been fried in old grease. Not appetizing at all. We also ordered cheese fries, and they were undercooked and just drenched in queso - more like a bowl of cheese with fries tossed in, rather than properly melted, crispy cheese fries. This isn't a one-time experience either - we've tried several times hoping it would improve, and it just hasn't. If you're going for drinks and to watch a game, it might be okay. But for a full meal, especially at that price point, we wouldn't recommend it. Sadly, this last visit was enough for us - we won't be returning.

I ordered a burger and fries and my daughter got the bone in wings. Although simple, I thought the flavors of the burger and smoked wings were fantastic. It wasn't very busy on a weekday afternoon.

The food is really good for bar food, and the happy hour deals make it even better. My favorites so far are definitely the bang bang shrimp and the soft pretzels. I've also tried the mac & cheese bites, Gilroy garlic fries, hand-breaded pickle chips, and the 6-piece boneless wings that were part of the happy hour special. The Asian chili crisp flavor was really good, and my friend's lemon pepper wings were also tasty. For drinks, I tried the Purple Haze and really enjoyed it. They also have a solid selection of beers and cocktails, so there's plenty to choose from during happy hour. The service has always been friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes it a nice place to relax, catch up with friends, and hang out for a while.

When we arrived, we were told our only immediate option was to sit outside in 99-degree heat. Otherwise, we would have to wait another 20-25 minutes for an indoor table. That completely defeated the purpose of making a reservation. It was embarrassing because I had planned this celebration, expecting the reservation to ensure the seating I requested. If indoor seating wasn't actually available, that should have been communicated before we arrived so we could have made other plans. To make matters worse, the dark-haired hostess was dismissive and offered very little help. The blonde hostess at least seemed to understand our frustration and showed some empathy, which I appreciated. A reservation should mean something or if standard does not mean indoor, there should be an explanation. The hostess stated they can't see what you select as far as seating which doesn't seem to make sense. Unfortunately, this experience left us disappointed before our celebration even began. You lost 6 customers today!

Lots of games on the big screens and the food menu, albeit limited, is fresh and flavorful. Restrooms are very clean and well kept.

GREAT concept and HUGE outdoor area that also has events and live music often. Try the salmon and the Brussels sprouts. They were awesome! Good for large groups or just to chill and hang too. Outdoor seating is comprised of couches High tops, bar, and regular tables. Cool blend for dining and hanging out.

Burgers & Curries is hands down one of our favorite Indian restaurants--easily top three for us…read more It also happens to be the closest Indian spot to us, but convenience aside, we genuinely love it. The restaurant is locally owned and run by the sweetest family, and you can really feel that care in both the service and the food. The space is small, clean, and welcoming, located right off 114 near the IHOP/Wingstop area. Despite the ongoing construction on 114 (which has been a mess), they've stayed incredibly consistent. The food is always good--like, reliably good--and I honestly have zero complaints. I always order the paneer tikka masala, and it is so, so good every single time. My husband and my boys are obsessed with the chicken biryani and swear it hits every time they order it. If you're looking for a great, family-run Indian restaurant with consistently amazing food, this is absolutely one you should try--and keep coming back to.

Was happy to see a new(er) option in Roanoke that offers steak, and more specifically prime rib! I wasn't hungry enough for the prime rib when we stopped in, so I opted for the prime rib sandwich with fries. My wife had a tenderloin with veggies and potatoes. My prime rib was pretty good, perhaps more cheese would make it better, but overall the meat had good flavor and the roll was not soggy. My wife said the tenderloin was good and cooked to order (medium rare). Size was appropriate too. The sides were good too. Service was attentive and professional. They have large screen TVs throughout the location and a pretty large bar as well. Overall, I think this is the perfect balance between upscale dining and sport bar, especially on this strip of restaurants. I'd like to come back to try the prime rib sometime soon!

Horrible customer service!…read more We arrived with a group of people ready to eat, drink, play pool and listen to some good music. Loaded the Jukebox (cost money-it's electronic which is my favorite and lead us here). The Jukebox was paused and we asked for bartender to unpause it. Ordered a round of drinks and I kid you not their barback ordered this headbanging crap of music. It would be different if there were paying customers then it's a free for all...paying as in buying drinks, appetizers and playing pool. Addressed it with bartender and he literally could care less. Out the door we went. We were a group of 8, 3 had arrived 5 in route. Money walked right out of the door and if I'm the owner I'd be having a conversation with that entire crew!

This the is the kind of place where you walk in planning to stay for one drink (unless you are here…read morefor a show) and somehow find yourself checking your watch three hours later wondering where the afternoon went. This is not a fancy, pinky-up establishment. Nobody is going to explain the emotional journey of the chef or tell you where the lettuce went to college. What you will find is cold beer, good food, plenty of TVs, and a room full of people who seem genuinely happy to be there. The atmosphere is exactly what a Texas sports bar should be: relaxed, welcoming, and just loud enough to be fun without requiring sign language to talk to your friends. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and nobody acted like bringing you food was a personal inconvenience. The food is solid comfort food. Nothing on the menu is trying to reinvent American cuisine, and thank goodness for that. Sometimes you just want a good meal, a cold drink, and a place to watch the game without someone serving a deconstructed cheeseburger on a roof shingle. The best compliment I can give is that this place feels authentic. It's a locals' spot that actually likes its customers. Four stars because there's always room for improvement, but if you're looking for a place to eat, drink, watch sports, and forget about your responsibilities for a little while, the Mule Barn gets the job done. Just don't blame them if "one quick stop" turns into the rest of your evening
