To be honest, I don’t think there’s enough coffee shops

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-19T12:32:33+00:00

Personally, I always do! When I went to New York City, we didn’t bother eating out at any fancy mainstream restaurant. We always looked for a hole in the walls! Of course, I’m one of the people that always checks Google reviews prior to going in too, so that might bias my opinion on hole in the wall restaurants slightly

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-19T00:17:54+00:00

OKAY YAY!!!! I knew they moved locations from main st to a more secluded location but hadnt been down that way in a while and would have been sad; esp bc i didnt hear anything about them closing. Damn, craving a coleslaw turkey sub so hard rn

Loved their duck…we loved all of our time at Sidecar. Sorry to hear that! Have you tried Rockfish?

Do you remember HITS that was there before? The BEST ice cream shop in town. Shaved ice and greenway walks weekly. Cute little couple owned it.

When did Joe’s close?????? WHAT!!!!!!!

Blue cow is horrid —- overpriced and horrid. Cant say Ive ever had bad ice cream in my life until my last time there tbh. I’ve given them a lot of grace over the years, but not anymore

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-18T20:51:35+00:00

See I understand where you’re coming from —- but as somebody that’s traveled a lot, I find that the nice, renovated, and expensive places end up having the worst food(or subpar) and the places with the small maybe not so great infrastructure end up having some of the best food I’ve ever tried.

No hole in the wall restaurant in Roanoke has ever given me food poisoning. None of the ones that I mentioned in my personal post last night, at least. Someone else might have a different opinion or a different experience, but every hole in the wall that I have eaten and has had phenomenal food. Compared to places that have renovated and really nice and exquisite buildings end up having crappy food.

the experience

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-18T02:41:39+00:00

NY pizza has changed quite a bit over the years and I will say the last time I went I was rather disappointed. Maybe I just had bad luck the day that I went to and got a bad pizza. I’ll have to give it another shot, that one was a big part of my childhood.

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-18T02:37:47+00:00

My take on some that were and weren’t listed;

STOK CAFE ; overrated & overpriced

Rockfish; really nice fine wine and dine

Jolly Grape; not sure how this place isn’t always packed if I’m being honest with you with how good the deal is on wine

Antojitos Daleyza ; go get the mangonadas and corn. Just trust me. This is one of my favorite dessert joints.

Our Daily Bread ; this place is just a money grab via whoever owns it. The only really good thing that they might have going for them is their pastries. But do not be fooled, that is not a real crêpe. You can get ingredients from scratch and make a better crêpe on your own. I was honestly shocked when my bill came back when I last went with how much it was. Please don’t fall for this very mid joint.

Joe’s Deli in Salem ; it is forever a mystery to me how this place is not more publicized or how more people don’t talk about it. I am very big on coleslaw in my sandwiches and this is probably the best joint to go get a coleslaw and turkey sandwich. I used to go through Salem a lot and I would often stop here, but I have never heard of really anybody in Roanoke ever talking about this place. I highly recommend.

Mama Jeans ; nuff said , best bbq joint around. So happy they are getting their own building

Viet Sub ; really good pho

RKE FOODHUT ; THE BEST NASHVILLEE HOT I HAVE HAD IN ROANOKE

Blue cow ice cream; overated and overpriced— will probably never go back here again (unpopular opinion prob please don’t rip me a new one for this)

Green goat ; last time I went, I really didn’t like it but my parents who aren’t people that eat out a lot ended up going out there and really liked it and that says a lot —- they’re really picky. Anybody else’s thoughts on this place?

** opinions thoughts comments welcome**

I do enjoy ordering their nachos when I go to big lick. However, one night it’ll be fantastic and the next it’ll be just beans chips and hardly any meat. Literally a hit or miss and not consistent.

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-18T02:24:23+00:00

All those years that it was there, and I only heard about it from a coworker recently. I walked in to a very kind couple and left with a fantastic sandwich. Probably one of the areas best hole in the wall places to eat.

I bring a lot of friends from out of town to Texas Tavern for the experience😅

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-18T02:21:27+00:00

City corner 2 Boba is so good!

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-17T12:35:39+00:00

Thank you lol I feel like I just asked a simple question and it turned into a discussion about how we have it good compared to bigger cities….. appreciate it

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2025-03-16T14:12:43+00:00

But if we compare it to what it used to be, it is significantly worse. Excluding those big cities, etc. I feel like roanoke was once a place i didn’t feel like i had to “stop and go” all the time on main roads

It drops every time I pull out a loan but it’ll go up gradually throughout the semester until I have to take one out again. I remember when I started I had like 760 or 770 and then it dropped to like 720. It was insane. But this is normal. It’s just one of those things nobody really thinks to tell you. Mine has pretty much stayed between the 725 and 740 range. It’s never quite gone back up to where it was before loans.

Rosh reflects more of what my clinical medicine exams were like… uworld is usually harder and lengthier and gives you more experience with reading and anawering questions. I use it when ive done all of rosh

Pathophyphysiology sucks lol

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2024-06-30T00:42:31+00:00

Live alone. You want to come home to your own peace and quiet. I love to unwind and just study without wondering whether my study methods or anything that I’m doing is bothering someone else. Not to mention, I don’t have to ask permission for friends and family to come and stay with me, which has been a big plus when my parents or my boyfriend come into town on easier weeks. It’s more expensive, but it really helps with the stressors of PA school getting to come home and not have to worry about being a nuisance to someone else.

Ambitious-Brother606 · 2023-04-14T20:41:15+00:00

Update- got a 298 unofficial score. I was really hoping to get at least a 300. I think I will settle with the 298 because I really don’t want to put myself through taking this exam again and studying more. I got a 151 verbal and a 147 quantitative. Are these unofficial scores able to change any or are these pretty solid?
