I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with chicken nuggets, hush puppies, and Cajun cheese fries. My son ordered a double cheeseburger with nothing on it, fries, and chicken nuggets. We also asked for honey mustard and barbecue sauce for the nuggets. When we got back to our hotel, we were disappointed to find only three small nuggets in the tray and no barbecue sauce. While the sandwiches were good and they did give us honey mustard and some type of special sauce we didn't care for, the biggest letdown was the Cajun cheese fries. There was no Cajun seasoning at all, and the cheese tasted terrible--like it came from an old can with a chemical or off taste. The cheese was so bad I had to throw the whole order of fries in the trash. Overall, while the sandwiches were decent, the missing items and terrible cheese fries made this a disappointing experience.

While in town visiting my college student we decided to go to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in…read moreChristansburg, Va one morning. We were super hungry so was very thankful there was no line and we got sat immediately. The only reason I am giving this a 4 star and not a 5 is because our waitress kept taking forever to get to us. Took forever to get our drink orders, took forever to get the drinks, and took forever for her to grab our order. Thankfully our food came out quickly and hot.

1 STAR -- $3.99 Wasn't the Problem. The Way I Was Treated Was. I've been eating at Cracker Barrel…read morefor years, and breakfast/brunch has always been one of my favorite reasons to go. I've visited multiple locations and have generally had great experiences. Unfortunately, today's experience was so incredibly disappointing that I feel compelled to share it. I ordered one of the new fall menu items. My waitress, Karmen, asked how I wanted my eggs and then asked what kind of breakfast meat I wanted. I asked what my options were, and she listed them, including ham. I said ham would be great. She then asked what kind of ham I wanted and gave me the choices of sugar-cured or country ham. I chose country ham. My breakfast was fine. Then the bill came. There was a $3.99 charge for the ham. I asked Karmen about it because I was genuinely confused. She was also confused and took the check back to find out why I had been charged. Enter the manager. Instead of simply explaining the charge, acknowledging that there had clearly been a misunderstanding, or even saying, "I'm sorry, our server gave you incorrect information," this manager approached me with an attitude that was nothing short of condescending and insulting. Her tone and comments made it very clear that she thought I was somehow too stupid or "illiterate" to understand that there was an additional charge. I explained multiple times that I had been told by my waitress that ham was an option included with my meal, and that the waitress specifically asked me which type of ham I wanted. Her response? Essentially, "It's your responsibility to make sure your waitress is correct." Excuse me? Since when is a customer responsible for correcting a restaurant employee who is explaining the menu and taking the order? If your employee gives a customer incorrect information, that's a training issue--not a customer's intelligence issue. The manager continued arguing with me and eventually said she would see what the male manager could do. When the male manager came over, I told him something very important: This wasn't about $3.99. I would have gladly paid $3.99 if I had been told there was an additional charge. What bothered me was being treated like I was stupid for questioning a charge that resulted directly from what I was told by their own employee. He apologized for her behavior and told me she was "going through a rough time" and had stepped away. I'm sorry, but having a rough day does not give someone permission to humiliate and disrespect paying customers. I asked for her name because I fully intend to let Cracker Barrel know exactly how I was treated. Interestingly, he wouldn't give me her name. So apparently, I leave knowing that I was treated horribly, the manager responsible simply walked away, and there may not even be any accountability for her behavior. I've worked with the public. I understand that customers can be difficult. I also understand that mistakes happen. What separates a good business from a bad one is how those mistakes are handled. This could have been a 30-second conversation: " I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding. The ham carries an additional charge." Instead, I was made to feel like I was stupid, incapable of reading a menu, and somehow responsible for an employee giving me incorrect information. That's unacceptable. Cracker Barrel, you can keep the $3.99. What you should be concerned about is the fact that someone representing your company thought it was appropriate to speak to a customer this way. The $3.99 didn't ruin my breakfast. Her attitude did. And if this is how management treats customers when they ask a simple question, I can find plenty of other places to have breakfast.

A blast from the past. For a few years, this Danny's was on our (very) regular rotation, so it…read moredefinitely brings up a bit of nostalgia. The experiences here have been mostly great, but there have been times where I was bewildered at the undercooked pancakes (and it was always the multigrain pancakes). Staff here have mostly been friendly but then again, there have been times when certain staff dropped the ball such as slow service and not checking on our table once. I've always liked the retro music played here, and the casual bright 'yellow-red' vibe is what I've come to expect. Long live Denny's.

Gravy is literally the most plain white gravy with sliced up sausage links. Neither had any flavor whatsoever. Glassware was dirty, silverware was still wet when it was rolled and the whole set and napkin was wet when we finally got it. Needed it about 10 minutes earlier to stir my husband's coffee, but there is no hustle in this place whatsoever. Looked like the whole crew needed an IV of B-12. Got to hear about how one waitress got new star tattoos all over her face and got the f bomb from the kitchen back to a different waitress when BOH couldn't read and order and shorted the order 3 eggs over easy. Crowning touch? Walking back to the truck for something I forgot and realizing 2 spots over was an employees vehicle with fresh puke right outside the door. Either they puked and rallied and went to work recently, or they stepped in someone else's and traipsed it right into the restaurant. Almost didn't eat breakfast when it finally arrived after that. Honestly, if you're looking on Yelp you probably know not to go to Denny's, I hadn't been in 25+ years and it won't happen again. Only came in because we were ignored while waiting to order elsewhere and thought we'd give it a try.

Great food, welcoming service, and a bright, friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good breakfast in Blacksburg!

We actually tried eating here a few months prior but the wait was nearly 2 hours long. This go around we had no wait. We were immediately sat and our drink orders were taken. Both my daughter and I chose apple juice. We also ordered a small appetizer b/c she was starving. The appetizer was yummy, can't remember what it was called but it was basically like doughnuts without the caramel it comes with. Our server was a young man and he did a fantastic job. He was very attentive to our table and our needs. The food was amazing, now I see why there was a 2 hour wait last time. I rarely eat other people's grits but these were pretty tasty and cooked just right. When I got my check I was in total shock though. Two apple juices (with no refills mind you) were approx. $5 a piece. WTF, why so expensive? I could have purchased a large jug of apple juice from Kroger. Yeah, I know I sound cheap. Nope, that the case just shocked at the price of a small glass of apple juice was with again no refills. We will definitely return next time I visit but we won't get apple juice again, we will stick to water.

I parked and walked in, and when I came out to leave, I couldn't get out because I was blocked by drive-through traffic. There's a huge parking lot next door for a Food Lion; if it's a peak time, I'd suggest parking there so you don't get stuck like I did. Good place. I'd recommend.

I can say it's the best kept secret of the Town of Vinton, in Roanoke County, and it's about time that it no longer be a secret. I am determined to go try it out and spread the word. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those young established ones that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And HCK Hot Chicken is the perfect example. Located off East Washington Avenue, in one of the most beautiful areas of Vinton, near William Byrd High School, this restaurant is located inside a long standing convenience store, "Vinton Tobacco & Grocery," and in the same location of a bp gas station, but don't let this fool you, it has its own entrance on the side, its own parking lot, and a drive-thru lane for ordering. Besides this, its owner has done a great renovation job, that this is one of the cleanest gas stations/convenience stores that I have ever been to, and because of this it in no way detracts from the clean, bright, and contemporary ambiance of the restaurant itself. Founded in 2020, in Woodbridge, Virginia, the first HCK (Hot Chicken Kitchen) Hot Chicken restaurant had as its Mission: "Unity through Food." Recognizing the power of food to bring people together. Their belief is that "food unites us and can lift people up." There menu features succulent Nashville-style chicken sandwiches, classic and boneless chicken wings, chicken tenders, chicken and Belgian waffles, loaded fries, loaded mac and cheese, coleslaw, fried pickles, fried donut drops, and more. The owner of the restaurant who warmly greeted me when I arrived told me that all of their dishes are gluten and allergen free. With no MSG and no peanut oil.The chicken is farm-raised, fed only vegetables and grains, with no use of growth-boosting chemicals. When one enters the restaurant, it is nicely designed (with the colors red, black, and white), and with hardwood floors, wood tone tables and chairs, a well organized ordering counter, and a well lit menu high above the counter, as well as with large pictures of menu item just below the menu sign. The very friendly and knowledgeable order taker took my order from behind the counter. I ordered a Nashville Style Chicken Sandwich Combo with the mildest sauce they had. It came with their seasoned krinkle kut fries, a side of good sauce, and a drink. Not bad for $14.49, especially after you taste the food. The chicken was the plumpiest, juiciest, and tastiest chicken that I have ever eaten in a sandwich. The fresh toasted artisan potato bun complimented its flavor. The fries were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, seasoned to perfection. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review and see for yourselves because a picture is worth a thousand words. The welcoming and hospitable owner came to see how I had liked the food and I told him how amazing everything had been and that I looked forward to returning to try other menu items such as the Fried Donut Drops. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant for a very unique and wonderful chicken dining experience. Amazing food, clean and comfortable environment, and excellent customer service.
