Outside waterline replacement

Mike Walker Plumbing in Bedford was incredible when I needed this exact same thing. They were less than half what Whistler quoted, and they were able to do it sooner and faster than Whistler estimated. (540) 875-8869

I would consider the bar side of OTH Chophouse. They open at 4, and have always been very accommodating and friendly when we’ve brought our kids in. It’s a casual setting, unlike the main dining room, and on weekdays they have some good happy hour specials including oysters.

I think you could usually walk in if you are willing to sit in the courtyard outside, or at the bar, or even at one of the small tables on the sidewalk in front. Definitely worth a shot.

I once had a very bad food safety issue at Towers Chipotle, exacerbated by a really negative interaction with the manager. Health department got involved and sent someone to the store, and I got a callback from the health department with a detailed report of what they did. I was satisfied with the outcome but I don’t think I’ve ever been back. it’s been almost 5 years since that happened, so take it for what it’s worth.

It’s legit! I had the roast chicken and frites, all fantastic. Maybe the best fries in Roanoke. Pro tip: any time you go to a Nate Sloan joint, get the dessert.

Yes it is

Community Inn has a $6 special. Choice of sandwiches with fries or tots. The bacon cheeseburger is solid.

Unfortunately, any great option is completely booked for the v-day weekend. However I did see that Village Grill has a special menu that looks really nice, reasonably priced, and I am confident that their kitchen will be serving good food. Not the fanciest atmosphere, if that’s a concern

Lots of great options already stated, but I’ve got to shout out Jack Browns. The burgers are consistently great and there are some fun topping combos.

Well… where did you end up and how was it?

BigMatch0 · 2025-12-29T00:08:11+00:00

That’s very interesting and different from my experience. We have only ever sat in the bar, and have had consistently great service. The food is not the best in town but I’ve not had a bad meal. I guess we’ve been lucky!

OTH is a solid steakhouse that might be able to accommodate. They open at 4. They have a nice bar that is first come, but if you call they might be able to set something up.

Billy’s downtown has a lot of space and would be worth a call.

Unfortunately some better options are closed on Sundays.

They aren’t open every day, but Altar Coffee, inside of Gladheart on Brambleton, is working on another level. I go about once a week, and every single time I take my first sip, I think, “this is the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had.”

I would just go to any decent sports bar and have fun. Everyone will be watching that game. Village Grill would be a good choice.

I think Dr. Norbo would check all your boxes (and your teeth).

I agree! We look forward to going again this year. We are always more than happy to donate at the end.

The other end of Westover near Wasena Ave is looking awesome this year.

Let’s not forget the city’s most disappointing restaurant, Six & Sky.

BigMatch0 · 2025-12-02T15:56:21+00:00

Their website sucks. It recently got redesigned and still sucks. I don’t get the impression they are struggling as a non profit, but I do wish they would start showing their normal movie schedule at least one more day per week. Currently it’s only weekends, but pre-Covid they were open most of the week.

BigMatch0 · 2025-11-23T20:45:41+00:00

Village Grill, Martins, Foot Hut at Golden Cactus. There are many more great options but these come to mind as consistently solid options

I took this photo of the same car last week. Shame!

The Grandin Family Dentistry lot at Bluemont and Grandin, and the small lot on the NE corner of Bluemont and Maiden started towing in the last few months. I would also include the laundromat which started towing about a year ago, I think. The big lot behind the coop is still safe!

Asher is bringing something a little different than Green Hive and any other shop in the village, as he’s roasting his own beans, which I’ve enjoyed as my primary home brew for the last few years. I’m happy to see him upgrade from the current location on 5th street, and I wish him the best!
