My wife and I DoorDash regularly, and this location has consistently been one of our favorite places to pick up from. The staff is always friendly, professional, and respectful. More importantly, delivery drivers are acknowledged and treated like valued partners instead of an inconvenience, which we truly appreciate. I especially want to recognize Siah in the drive thru. She is one of the most motivated, compassionate, and genuinely kind employees we've encountered. Every interaction we've had with her has been positive. She treats people with respect, has a great attitude, and genuinely seems to care about the people she interacts with. Employees like Siah deserve recognition because kindness and compassion can make a bigger difference in someone's day than they may ever realize. From management down to the frontline employees, this location is consistently well run. Orders are usually ready on time, communication is good, and even when they're busy, everyone works hard to keep things moving. The food has also consistently been fresh, hot, and made correctly. Whether it's chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches, fries, or Texas toast, we've always been happy with the quality. In a time when genuine customer service can sometimes be difficult to find, this Zaxby's continues to stand out. Great food, hardworking people, and employees who still understand the importance of treating others with kindness and respect. A special thank you to Siah for being amazing and compassionate every single time. Please keep being the person you are. It does not go unnoticed. Highly recommended. God bless you all

When I arrived at Zaxbys for an early dinner I had no idea how it would be. All I had seen had been…read moretheir commercials on TV, but this would be the first time that I actually would be visiting and eating there. From the outside, the restaurant's building looked clean and inviting. Cars already were driving up to the drive through window and putting in their orders. And a few people were dining inside as well. I noticed that the windows and the glass door were very clean, and this fact gave a nice first impression of the restaurant. Once inside, I noticed the cleanliness of the place and contemporary, comfortable furniture: booths as well as tables and chairs. The color combination of gold and black made the place look elegant yet relaxed. The decor was minimalist with a wide screen color TV and a few signs decorating the walls, and a nice lighting treatment that came down from the black ceiling above. When I arrived to the ordering counter, I noticed all the employees were working very motivated and with a purpose, all doing their assigned duties enthusiastically. A young lady up front greeted and welcomed me with a smile and seemed very happy to hear that this was my first time here. She gave me some time to review the menu that was placed where all fast food restaurants have them. I ordered the Zaxseas Surf & Turf combo, and a Chocolate Chip Cookie for dessert. The order was efficiently taken and I paid with my credit card. It contained 3 Chicken Fingerz, 8 Shrimp with Zaxtail sauce, Texas Toast, Crinkkle fries, and a small drink of Dr. Pepper. Everything in the order came out so fresh and hot. The Chicken Fingerz were crunchy in the outside and juicy and tender in the inside. Same with the Shrimp. The Fries were also very well fried and freshly served. And the sauces were amazingly delicious. As I was leaving, I saw who seemed to be the manager seated at a table interviewing a young lady. I didn't want to interrupt, otherwise I would have told him how well he was running this restaurant. I just had an amazing dining experience here and this was only my first time. I highly recommend this place and am looking forward to coming back soon in the near future.

I've had my hair red, ginger, fire-engine red, since July. The hair in the bowl was black. Similar to the managers (just a reference, not accusatory). I was only offered a refund after I said I was leaving a review... overall disappointed. Very unprofessional. Definitely needs more training. Not only is she rude to the customers, but also her employees. As I was choosing my sides, she comes to the front and says to the girl making my bowl, "why are you using that many toppings, it's only one spoon. You should know this by now.". Then rolled her eyes and kept working. There's a Chipotle and Qdoba within 20 feet, that are notably less expensive, so I'll just give those a try next time. Plus they don't skimp on toppings! Imagine charging $13 per bowl, to only give out teaspoons worth of the sides. We literally get offered more sauces than sides . I only tried this place because it's newish and close to my job. The house-made drinks were good though. Overall, pricey for the value, poor customer service, wouldn't recommend. Especially with current management.

The Roanoke Weiner Stand is a classic family restaurant that has been around since 1916…read more Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Roanoke, right next to the Center in the Square, and the Roanoke City Market, this place is full of local history and mystic. After all, hot dogs are deeply embedded in America's food culture. After hearing so much about this local family restaurant and the important role it has played in the lives of the people of Roanoke and its visitors throughout the years, I decided to go visit for myself, explore the restaurant, taste its food, study its interior design and ambiance, and experience for myself a taste of the famous Roanoke Weiner that everyone is talking about. First of all, I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and how it managed to mix the old with the new in its contemporary interior design, furnished with new but furniture design from the restaurants of the 60's, and souranded with artworks and photographs relevant to the long successful history of the restaurant and it's founder. Branded as the Hot Dog King and Roanoke's Oldest Restaurant, customers of all ages will have memories of the time when they visited their old location and soon to be new customers as they visit this new location with a historic resilience. All focused on one simple but delicious American cuisine item: the hot dog. When I entered the restaurant for a late lunch it was already full of customers eating there; some arriving and others leaving. Some even mentioning how they have been customers of the place for years. Above the ordering counter was a large menu for one to study while the customers in front ordered their food. When my time came up to order, a young lady greeted me and took my order. I ordered a hot dog. A sloppy Joe, french fries, homemade banana pudding and a small drink of Iced Dr. Pepper. As the lady took the order, a gentleman prepared and brought it to the counter. I went to sit down at a table where I could see the inside of the restaurant and at the same time view through the front window the Historic Market Building. The hot dog was a quality yet simple hot dog served in a fresh and soft bun with mustard, chili, and onions. The French Fries were crinkle cut. The Sloppy Joe Sandwich was served on a Hotdog bun. The hot dog and fries were delicious. The chili was a bit too salty for me as well as the sloppy Joe. I would also have appreciated it in a burger bun. The Banana Pudding could have used more sugar. But the dining experience was very unique and worthwhile. And I discovered a great place to enjoy some time alone or with others.

I still have no idea why it took so long for us to get the order. I've been to many cool outs and this was the worst service. I was hoping it would be nice since this is the first time I've seen indoor dining. No thanks. Parking for disabled is caddy corner to the drive thru so be careful.

I made lots of friends in the outdoor dining area since I have my sweet dog. My new friends recommended hamburgers & the BLT. I decided to strike out on my own & ordered the Country Fried Steak with white gravy. Now I'm from Texas & I love CFS, so when I tell you it was good, that means something!!! It was fresh & hot! Fresh okra that you can tell was hand breaded (amazing, my first of the season since we've had so much rain in LA)! The onion rings were also awesome. The ranch was a little runny but it tasted great (I just would have liked more sticking to the ORs)! Patty was great!!! Super helpful & attentive. She brought my pup water & then brought him refills. That has never happened to me before! Doggie owners, I felt welcomed. All that plus a really nice fruity cake for dessert cost $23.58! I feel weird giving my meal a 10 (since I'm from TX & the food is a Texan staple) but it's well deserved. Great ending to a very long day driving!

I had brunch on a Friday mid morning in March 2026 at this Panda Express location in Roanoke,…read moreVirginia. I was happy that I found this place after wandering around Valley View Mall. I enjoy having Panda Express due to its inexpensive options as well as its popularity across the United States. So to my surprise, I found a Panda Express here just outside the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, Virginia. I'm like, okay. At least it isn't McDonald's. And so, I walked in at around 10:15am on a Friday in March 2026. There was 2 people occupying tables but other than that, it was empty. I saw the lady behind the counter setting up and it was cool that I came here early enough so that things are freshly made and not sitting for too long. I ended up getting the bigger plate with noodles. Beef broccoli and orange chicken with string bean chicken was my order of the day. Along with a medium sized drink, the prices were decidedly competitive. It was delicious and typical Chinese American fare that many people enjoy. It was familiar to me as we have many Panda Express locations in Honolulu, where I live. I probably spent about 1 1/2 hours here enjoying my brunch and probably ended up refilling my drink cup 3 times before I departed. It was nice that they are okay with free refills, which made me happy as a clam. For the most part though, my time here at Panda Express was spent enjoying my brunch and being on vacation in Roanoke. It was a nice quiet time for me and definitely worth coming up here for a couple of hours. If you enjoy Chinese American cuisine and enjoy the aspects of quick and easy, you can consider Panda Express for your next meal in Roanoke. Definitely enjoyable and recommended if you're in the area and want to have something other than burgers and fries. Delicious and most definitely satisfying. The overall experience here at this particular Panda Express location was very good and quiet. It was nice that I came in on a regular Friday morning right after they had opened. No crowds or anything since I'd like to sit down and enjoy in a serene environment. The restaurant itself is fairly small but has enough tables to accommodate a small to medium size party and probably up to 35 people at any given time. What I liked about my experience here as mentioned before was the free soda refills at the self service drink machine. Definitely well worth the value for my money and I enjoyed that aspect of dining here. I enjoyed the comfort of dining alone during my time in this Panda Express in Roanoke. The service was good and fast. I even ordered my meal in Chinese and it was pretty cool. All in all, it was a delicious healthy enough meal. Everything was fresh and cooked with love. Definitely hit the spot when I was vacationing in the area. Panda Express really revolutionized the Chinese cuisine in America with its favorites options and the idea of having locations everywhere helped with my meal option that Friday morning in March 2026. I typically get the beef broccoli and the orange chicken with some type of noodles. Along with a drink, it's a nice way to have something light versus a bulky burger and fries meal. And so, if you want something as an alternative to the American burger and fries culture, consider Panda Express on your next trip to Roanoke. The ambiance was nice here and would come again, if future travels permit me to do so. This Panda Express location is situated next to the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, Virginia. Its physically address is 4809 Valley View Boulevard. It's right next to the I-581 and the Roanoke-Blacksburg regional airport is nearby. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's plenty of parking here since it's apart of the Valley View Mall complex. Best bet would be to come early enough to secure parking next to the restaurant to minimize the walking. If you are like me and love public transportation, bus route 15 will take you here from the 3rd street bus terminal in downtown Roanoke. It took about 45 minutes one way, which is not too bad and the cost was fairly inexpensive. Of course, there's always Uber and Lyft for your convenience and needs. And so, if you enjoy Chinese American cuisine and are in the Roanoke area, consider Panda Express as your go to spot for all things noodles and egg rolls, along other delicious favorites. Best thing you can do in Roanoke is party with egg rolls and noodles. And maybe some orange chicken and beef broccoli too. However you get here, get here fast and come hungry for sure. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Quiet ambiance and a nice self service drink fountain. Support local! A+

Today was the Grand Opening of the new Panda Express restaurant on Valley View Blvd in Roanoke,…read moreVirginia. Even though I was not able to be there earlier for the official ceremony itself, I made sure to go as soon as I could in the early evening to have dinner there. When I arrived the festive environment was still there. As I entered the door covering my head from the outside rain, I noticed haven gone under a semicircle of red and white balloons with small yellow ones as well. And immediately after that the entire Panda Express started singing a welcoming song. One of their staff named Gian, from one of their stores in Pennsylvania, who has been with the company for over more than a year now warmly greeted me with a smile and handed me a leaflet that said if I downloaded and joined their app today, I would get a 20% discount on my meal this evening. I immediately did so and got in line to order as I viewed the menu that was hanged high above the ordering counter and the large TV screen featuring several of their menu item visually. When my time came up, another friendly staff behind the ordering counter took my order and as I was ordering he simultaneously was filling it. I ordered a Plate with Orange Chicken and Black Pepper Sirloin Steak as rhe two entries and Chow Mein as the side. Together with an order of Cheese Cream Rangoons, and a Medium Fountain Drink of Dr. Pepper. To my surprise, they also included a Fortune Cookie. I paid with my credit card, went and served my drink, and sat at a table to enjoy my meal. It was amazingly delicious. But it was the positive attitude and friendly engagement from all the Panda Express employees there that won me over to the brand. I highly recommend this place to all those reading my review. Quality food, cooked to perfection, and served by friendly staff, what else can one ask for?
