The food here is great, spent a week down in VA and TN and this was easily the best meal. Country fried steak with gravy was excellent and my wife had the meatloaf which was also great. read more

Delicious southern style menu. We have never had a bad meal here. Service is quick and friendly. There is a full bar with several TVs to watch the game. The restaurant side has both tables and booths and would be good for small groups. The ambiance is casual but the open kitchen and bar makes it feel more upscale than it is. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want a meal that feels home cooked. read more

As we arrived to Angelle's Diner and I read the logo right under its name: "A Taste of Southern Hospitality," I recalled the restaurant's beautiful website that was one of the reasons that made us want to come and try it out. Surrounded by several hotels around the area, Angelle's Diner building was nice and welcoming. As we entered, the host/waiter quickly greeted us with a big smile and took us to our table which happen to be one of the first booth near the entrance of the restaurant. The inside decor was simple yet clean. The booth was a bit tight to seat at and located near the door on a cold and windy evening, we got hit by the cold breeze every time someone opened the door. Besides us, there were probably three to four other parties, and the clientele seemed like local families who wanted to enjoy a homemade Southern in a relaxed ambiance. At the entrance was a display case with a few desserts for the day. No dessert menu per se. The waiter took our order. I ordered the Country Fried Steak with brown gravy and onion rings and coleslaw as sides. My friend ordered the same but with white gravy and onion rings and cooked apples as sides. The order came out nicely cooked and served in modern square plates. The portions were a bit small but cooked very nice and served hot. The waiter was very hospitable and came to check on us several times. The bar of the place seemed to give it an air of a hotel by the way it was arranged. The bathroom seemed like it had been renovated reasantly because it had marble floor and looked more upscale than the restaurant itself. For dessert we both had a slice of Chocolate and Caramel Cheesecake. It was amazingly delicious yet very small size. And when the bill arrived, it was the type that you scan with your cellphone and pay with the information of your credit card. It also gave you the option of splitting the bill and paying with two different credit cards. Summing up, I greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and the taste of the food, especially those onion rings were amazing. And the dessert was very rich and delicious. I would recommend this place if you feel like eating some very good Southern food served with a Southern Hospitality, in a relaxed and comfortable ambiance. read more

I travelling south to South Carolina and stopped for the night right next to Angelle's. The hotel staff recommended Angelle's so I walked over for dinner. I got a grilled catfish special they had going on with fried okra and rice. When my meal came, EVERY ITEM was steaming hot! The food was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed it after a long day of driving. Then, since the dinnereal was so good, I decided to try their breakfast. They weren't very busy on this Sunday morning around 7:30 AM so I was seated right awayby a smiling and pleasant hostess named Malena. This day, I chose a ham and cheese omelet with hash browns and biscuit. Once again, when the food came, everything was perfect in taste and temperature. I loved every item I ordered here over the last two meals. This is a great little find. read more

The food was better than what we had in the South (MS, TN, and AR)! The staff was attentive and friendly and the it was clean! The portion size was good as well! read more

Great breakfast experience. Came on a Sunday morning and was seated immediately. The waitress was very friendly and great at her job. She gave us a few suggestions for things to do around town since we were just visiting. The food came out fast and was delicious. The place had l9ts of options for breakfast and was reasonably priced. I would definitely come back again. read more

We stopped here while traveling. It wasn't busy at all. The prices were fair enough. It said southern food but it really wasn't. My husband got chicken fried steak and it was like the premade frozen kind. I got chicken strips and I think they were too. They tried but it was just not a good product. It was fine for a pit stop. But I probably would not go there if I was local. read more

Meatloaf was on point. Lots of people there for dinner which should say something about the establishment. I noticed there was a bar, so drinks are served as well. Very clean. read more

I was in town visiting my brother for the day and he made the recommendation that we eat here. He informed us that this is the second location for Angelle's, and was newly opened. He said that he and his wife had been a few times and everything they have tried was great. We were a party of 6 and arrived after the typical lunch hour, we had no wait and were served by Pat, who was friendly, patient, and spoiled us with an abundance of unsolicited refills, which I appreciated because it seems like in Richmond I always need to ask. I had the "Double Down Special ". A philly cheesesteak with double the meat and double the cheese and a side of fries. It did not disappoint. The roll was heaping full and it was juicy and delicious. No wonder Pat had brought extra napkins. I would have to say it was one of the best cheesesteaks I have had. And while I'm not usually a fan of crinkle cut fries, these were actually pretty good. Light on the inside and crispy on the outside and not overcooked. Others in our party had salmon (a picky teen gave it two thumbs up), a regular burger, meatloaf, bbq/brisket, and the highly anticipated "The Ultimate Cheeseburger", which Pat was really excited that was ordered, she said it had 5 cheeses plus macaroni and cheese. It came out cooked to order (medium rare) and piled high. It was demolished by my boyfriend, he said it was one of the most amazing burgers he has ever had and he would definitely get that again. Then came the desserts. We hadn't had much of a breakfast so we had a little room for a few sweet treats. Wow. Pat explained that the desserts are locally made by the owner of the now-closed Willow Pond Bakery, she is only doing commercial business now. Wow. Mike and I shared a huge slice of peanut butter cake, it was one of the biggest slices of cake I have been served in a restaurant, it was very rich and very good, though for my taste it lacked sweetness and that peanut butter punch I was hoping for. Still very good. Haley had chocolate cheesecake and said it was the best cheesesteaks ever, I had a taste and I might just have to agree with her. Sherry had the Dutch apple pie, apparently she looks for it when they go here, so it must be great. We all enjoyed our food and hanging out together at Angelle's. They took an old Shoney's and cleaned it up and added some nice character to it, a cute bar, not a lot of frills, added some really nice outdoor seating for those not so opressedly hot summer days. My only "complaint " would be that there are too many TVs. I expect that in a sports bar or sport restaurant, but not really at a diner. It was kinda distracting, but not a dealbreaker. I can for sure say that this is a no-brainer family friendly restaurant. They have a very good selection of food, sure to please all. When back in the area visiting, I know where I will want to go! read more

Great service. Food was very good and portions were big. My chicken parm was levels above the "authentic" Italian place down the street. We couldn't finish it all. Diner atmosphere but has a bar as well. Would definitely return. read more

Wonderful! Fabulous alternative to the franchise eateries. Service is great and food freshly made!!

Food and service was quite nice. Menu was about what one would expect in a diner. I will go back when near there again

Sometimes a southern vegetable dish hits the spot. Angelle's has a good selection to choose from. My favorite choices are usually the fried okra, mashed potatoes, turnip greens with vinegar, and fried apples. The Taste of New Orleans with Southern Comfort, peach schnapps and pineapple juice went well with the vegetables. I come here regularly. read more

Would have given this place 5 stars but for being forced to watch those hypocrites from LBurg preaching! Breakfast skillet was a belly bomb. And eggs were perfectly cooked to order. No doubt would be a perfect spot for an outdoor lunch when it's not raining cats and dogs out. We'll definitely be back. read more

We are on a trip from Georgia to Pennsylvania and stopped for the night in Salem, VA. We decided to give Angelle's a try and we were so glad we did! Our server Xaviar was outstanding! He was personable, knowledgeable and attentive to our every need. He is certainly a plus to this establishment. Our food was delicious, with generous portions at a great price! My husband got the bbq pork chops and I got the vegetarian Alfredo pasta. We will definitely be back anytime we are passing through!! read more

Recommended by hotel. The food was excellent - as was the desert and the small bar even had a good single malt scotch. Great service from our waitress Corrine read more

Great food, super clean and appropriate prices! Our server (Kayla) was one of the best servers we've had in at least a year. She was friendly, spent time with us chatting but left us alone once we were eating. None of that "I see you just took your first bite, tell me how it is so I can disappear for the next 15 minutes". She left us alone but was near and in the area and walked by several times in case we needed her. My biggest pet peeve by far is leaving trash on the table, (creamer cups/sugar packets/straw wrappers) and she removed them every time she came by! I'll add more to this review later, but know this place is awesome!!! Update: Best fried okra I've had since moving from and growing up in Texas/Alabama! I'd NEVER had "greens" before because... we'll look at them! They look gross and smell bad. Well our server talked me into them and they are AMAZING! I come here about once a week and order them every damn time! Whats funny is I forget how good they are every time and when the food comes out I always think to myself "Why the hell did I order greens, that cup could be full of okra... OKRA!" But first bite and I remember who I got them again. read more

Have had lunch here on several occasions, stopped in for some appetizers before a show at the Civic Center. Informed waitress we were on a timeline, and she did a great job of getting us out and to the show on time!! Food has always been good! read more

Service is questionable, but food is usually very good. Waitresses and host are poorly managed.

A nice southern style dinner. The food was a little under seasoned, but overall pretty good. I really enjoyed the hush puppies and the grilled fish. A nice place to stop on a trip. read more

Angelle's Diner - Pork chop, mashed potatoes with gravy and collard greens. - Southern Near Me - Salem, Virginia

Simply THE BEST comfort food anywhere on the 81 corridor. This gem in Salem VA has the best food. Atmosphere is relaxing and service is friendly and accommodating. I visited here a year ago and had the sausage gravy for their brunch. I was hoping they served breakfast all day when we were passing through again this year. But unfortunately they were not and only served it on weekends. Hopefully that will change because EVERYONE MUST try the BEST Sausage gravy in the world!! The manager saw my disappointment and went out of their way to supply me with a pint of the gravy to go!! I simply love this place. If you happen to find yourself in Salem VA you MUST stop in and grab a bite to eat at Angelle's. read more

If Waffle House could get better the buck stops here. All the delicious home cooked breakfast essentials of Waffle House without the cr*ckhead around the corner. This is the Cracker Barrel adjacent but 5/5 always. The staff are always incredible making it feel like home. read more

Walked in with 2 customers in shop at 6:32. Now 7:24, still no food. At least 8 parties have been seated, eaten dinners and departed. Ordered BBQ so not something being cooked custom. Cannot comment on food, 1hr long enough to wait. read more

Excellent food and service! Our group enjoyed salmon, hamburger steak, shrimp and grits. Corinne was a great waitress. She was friendly, helpful, and sincere! Hilda Adams read more

I really love this place. The burgers are great (ohhhh that bun!) I had the chicken tenders a few months ago and they seemed hand battered and perfectly fried. However, on 6/30 I sat at the bar (7pm ish). I ordered the chicken tender meal and my wife the tender basket. We waited and waited. The guy that finally brought our food put it in front of us and said, "we forgot about you." The tenders were over cooked and the inside "meat" separated from the breading. The "meat" look like compacted cotton balls and tasted about the same. We were extremely disappointed and grossed out. I had better nuggets at my high school cafeteria in 1995. The sad thing is, we live 2 miles away, not passing through via 81. Oh well. Saving money means loosing customers I guess?!?! read more

Went tonight for dinner, first time eating in about a week due to illness. First we had a wonderful waitress, Amanda. She was Wonderful, Friendly and so helpful. I hadn't been able to eat and since we were already in Salem, we stopped here. The food was wonderful and I tried their coleslaw which came with my meal. It was one of the best coleslaws that I have ever had. I told Amanda how much I loved it, explained that I hadn't been able to eat for about a week, and she went and got me another little cup of it. When I wasn't able to finish all of my chicken tenders and fries, I asked for a to-go box with a lid for my honey mustard. She asked if I would like another coleslaw and I said, Yes! So to end my review... Amanda is one of the best waitresses and the food is delicious! read more

Server Tish got us to our table with no delay. Good beer and wine choices and a complete bar. Great menu, beautifully served and prices very reasonable. Worth a long drive...which we had done...great spot. read more
