Someone else commented about feeling unwelcome in the restaurant and this is the impression I get everytime I go. The first time wasn't bad. Food was okay, drinks were pretty good. We went again with a larger group and service was terrible. It was about two hours before closing. It was a Friday, but not busy at all. Our server was not pleased. We were sat at a dirty table. Before we got menus, she said "if you want drinks, order now." Great. Can we know what you have at least? We should have walked out then, but we didn't. I ordered the steak salad that had maybe 4 pieces of steak and was swimming in dressing. It was awful. Because Roanoke has minimal options after 9pm, we decided to give it a third try. Party of 6 adults. Another servicer who was absolutely rude. I ordered a drink, paid full price, but for some reason, my glass was half full. My entree was bland and cold. The general air of "we want your money, but not your business" is astounding. read more

We celebrated our granddaughter s 22nd birthday on Sunday. We had reservations at 6 pm. We arrived with the cake. The hostess suggested we let them refrigerate it, which was a great idea! Our meals came out exactly as ordered. The drinks flowed. (The bloody Mary is epic!!) Our server was so attentive. Going back soon for brunch.... and more bloody Mary s! read more

Great atmosphere, smooth service, and a menu that has something for every craving. We ended up trying a few different things -- each plate came out looking amazing and tasted even better. Everything was seasoned just right, and the portions felt generous without being overwhelming. What stood out most was how attentive and friendly the staff were without hovering. They made the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. It's one of those places where you can settle in, enjoy your food, and feel like they've truly thought through the dining experience from start to finish. Definitely adding this to our list of spots to return to -- next time we'll be trying even more from the menu. read more

Service and ambience were excellent. I had the mushroom and swiss burger. It was a small burger (? 1/4 lb) for the price and meat was overdone. I wasn't asked how I wanted it served and I neglected to tell them. Hubby really liked his Philly Cheese. read more

We went back late one night just to share the Poutine and the Apple pie. It was definitely a bar scene at the late hour. The poutine was good, but a bit spicier. The apple pie was the most disappointing thing. It was like someone had spilled the whole container of cinnamon in and on the pie. It felt like I was trying that cinnamon challenge. It made the pie inedible. I rarely send things back, but this was absolutely horrible. The waitress was kind enough to take it off the bill. I appreciate that, but I was really looking forward to that pie and now I'm unlikely to try to order it again. read more

Came here on Valentine's Day and I'm honestly just confused on how this place has a high rating. I understand that it can get busy on a popular holiday, but this was absolutely ridiculous. We waited 45 minutes for our appetizer to arrive and an hour for our main course to arrive. Our server was apologetic but it doesn't excuse the fact we waited for our steaks for an hour. Ribeye was fine, but the mashed potatoes didn't have flavor until I put a LOT of salt and pepper. The steak knives were dull and couldn't cut through my steak. On top of that, the tables were very shaky so while I was trying to cut my steak with the dullest knife known to man, my drinks were shaking and spilling. I need to reiterate that I know it was a busy holiday but for a whole 45 minutes, our server didn't check in on us and I don't think anyone should ever be waiting an hour for a meal, just for it to have no flavoring and be extremely bland. Problem was not the service, just the overall efficiency of the restaurant. read more

Cast Plates & Pints - American Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

The drinks taste like they have no alcohol in them and the service is horrible. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome in a business I was paying to be at. Do not come here, they clearly don't care about their customers. read more

Long day on the road just wanted a beer and a burger. The IPA was good but the cheeseburger lacked flavor and seasoning. the bun was cold and not soft and the Parmesan fries as advertised did not have any parm. To make matters worse it took 35 minutes to get the food - and that was after it took way too long to even order as the bartender was too busy chatting up the regulars and barely looked my way. The stool height to the bar height is way off - the bar is too high. Just a total bust and could not wait to leave. read more

Today I had brunch at Cast. I ordered Avocado Toast. I did not order the accompanying egg and asked for extra avocado. I had 2 pieces of toast cut in half diagonally. The bread was attractively overlaped. Cheese was sprinkled over the exposed bread. It was toasted. The dish l had 4 slivers of a of avocado equal to about a quarter of an avocado. I asked forore avocado.. I was given probably 2 slivers of avocado cut into small pieces. The extra avocado was served in a metal 'syrup' cup. The dish did have an attractive drizzle of sauce. Definitely not worth what I was charged. read more

I know their food is delicious, my husband had the Alfredo and devoured it. My mom ordered oysters and truffle fries, very delicious. I wanted to try something different and ordered the Poke Bowl.... It was terrible! the rice tasted like microwaveable rice. The bowl had no flavor, sauce. I'm not a big complainer usually even if I don't like something I'd still eat it but this was gross. I can't wait to go back and get something else. read more

Bland soup. Buffalo wrap tasted like fish... Left grossed out. Flatbread was a solid 4/10. read more

We went back today to cast after a very disappointing thanksgiving we are so glad we did our waitress name was Mallory she was pleased and efficient she took very good care of us It was such a pleasure experience food as always was excellent read more

$36 a person for a thanksgiving buffet is perfectly fine, except for one BIG thing! They forgot to offer gravy. Server said there is no gravy. They forgot to make it. So nothing for the mashed potatoes, turkey etc. IMO it ruined the meal and I would have just not eaten there, had I known. I did enjoy the Bloody Mary which was the one good thing I can say about my experience. read more

From what I had heard about this place I was expecting a bit more upscale ambiance. Still not sure if I'm disappointed or relieved. This is a more upscale sports bar that seems to specialize in higher quality plates. I was expecting more of a tapas vibe. Appetizers were ok. Mac and cheese bites were lacking in a lot of flavor. They came out crispy and the Mac wasn't overcooked but neither the pasta or breading had much flavor. The avocado ranch it came with was pretty tasty. Poutine was disappointing. Fries were overdone and tasted nothing of Parmesan garlic. The gravy was creamy but also lacking in a little flavor. Not sure what the smoked ham was seasoned with but I'm not a fan of smoky so I could have gone without. Curds themselves were cheesy and a nice consistency but overall just not what I wanted out of a poutine. Guess I was craving more cheese. Dinner was decent. Two of us got salads and they are a decent size for the price. I got the steak and blue and my steak tips were smaller than expected but plentiful and actually cooked to the correct temp! Two of my dinner mates got the tuna tacos and I didn't hear complaints. One wasn't a fan of the sweet potato tots because they were too sweet but I loved them. Dessert: I think this was the biggest disappointment. First, it took almost 30 min to come out after ordering. (Our waitress was pretty sparse the whole meal). Second, The peaches tasted ok although slightly on the overcooked side (over caramelized). The mini waffle was thin and slightly crispy yet malleable. Didn't really hold up to eating like a taco. Whipped topping seemed homemade and plentiful. Overall, it was very messy and not quite the cobbler I was expecting. If the taco shell was supposed to be the "topping" it just wasn't enough. TLDR: good enough to try again but won't rush to come back. read more

Food is great and service very good we keep going back. Would recommend for any occasion

Decent bar/American food. My husband and I came here for dinner on a Sunday night. Service was friendly and food was fresh. We ordered the poutine and Mexican street corn appetizers. The fries for the poutine had a nice crunch but still soft texture inside, ham and cheese curds were nice size and not too little or too much with the fries and gravy. The Mexican street corn had good flavor but I just wanted more of it on the whole corn. For our entrees I tried to order the Shrimp and Asparagus fettucine but was told they were out of fettucine, no problem tried to order the Shrimp and Grits and then told they were out of shrimp. The server was very apologetic about it and I wasn't super upset, just a bummer they were out of what I wanted to try. I ultimately ordered the Tuna Burger which was delicious and freshly made. I had requested it rare and it was a bit more cooked but still tasted really good. The side of fries was the same style as what came in the poutine so still crunchy outside with soft inside. My husband ordered the Country Fried Pork Chop that comes with mashed potatoes. I thought it tasted good and was cooked well but he didn't like the smoky flavor as much but did think it was cooked well otherwise. They have a good selection of local beer as well as usual favorites and looked like a good wine list. They are open later which is nice for last minute dinner plans. Atmosphere was busy but not too loud or chaotic. We will probably be back since we don't live too far away. read more

There are some nice contemporary restaurants popping up in reasantly new construction strip malls. This one in particular caught my eyes one day as we drove by the place. The impressive building construction and colorful name design motivated me to one day invite a friend of mine to go with me there for dinner. When we arrived, we were impressed with the entrance to the restaurant because of the highest wall construction in the strip mall located in a corner spot with an outdoor patio for outside seating and eating. As we entered the restaurant, the place was modern and clean, yet at the same time relaxed and cozy. The high ceilings helped expand the space, which was small and had its tables very close to each other. The host station was in the center as you entered, and the main seating area was on the right, while the bar and another seating area were on the left. The host quickly greeted us with a warm smile and took us to a table on the right. The menu had a short but very nice selection of dishes from which to choose and several that made you want to come back to try them. To start with, we chose the Poutine. As our main course, my friend ordered the Mushroom & Cheese Burger with a side of sweet potato tots, and I ordered the Cuban Panini with Cast Fries. The appetizer was a good size for two, very tasty, and filled us up. The main courses were not as large, and even though they filled us up, mine, in particular, was small and had very little meat inside. For dessert, we had the Peach Cobler Tacos. The hard waffle tacos were filled with cubes of peaches (but not peach Cobler) and covered with nice cold, fresh Whipped Cream. As we left, we both left satisfied even though we felt that the tables were a bit too close together and lacked privacy. I particularly liked the place and would recommend it as a place to meet with family or friends for an informal dinner in a modern yet relaxed ambiance. read more

the food is nasty. I've ate here a couple of times to give it a try but it makes me so sick every time I eat there. I've heard 'rumors' & by rumors I mean pictures from former employees of kitchen being nasty & not clean. 100% nasty nasty nasty. save yourself a trip. would give 0 stars if I could. if you can't run a clean restaurant you shouldn't have one. I don't usually go out of my way to leave a review but I'm not kidding I get deathly ill every time I eat there. read more

Got here and Justin took care of us. Very well. Lots of folks just sitting inside. Serververs eating lunch dinner/late lunch sitting in the parking lot eating. My wife and I were sitting outside talking and drinking. Then three hours later after I go inside and get drinks, Nicky walks out and brings a tray of waters to the folks siting behind us shows up. I guess some of us are invisible according to the tab, tip. Her loss. WTF. Tab mongers are the whole of how the servers make their money I guess. None of us normal patrons make a dent for them. Sad. She's going to get nada from these pretty people. read more

We frequently eat at Cast and have had nothing but great food. The filet is fabulous and burgers are great too. Stephanie S. is a fabulous server if you get the chance to have her. She frequently checked back with us and has always been kind when we are there. Highly recommend Cast! read more

Good food, i stopped by for lunch recently i got the mac n cheese bites and truffle fries as an entry with the guava cider! Very yummy and filling! read more

I have avoided this place because I thought it was crappy bar food just from the way it was advertised in the place. We ate in here once and it was absolutely fantastic so we came back again just to make sure it wasn't a one time deal and it was still just as good. The prices are very reasonable. The service was great. This is a definite winner. I got the Nashville, hot chicken sandwich and it was way better than a bunch of the places that I went to in Nashville. The steak tacos were fantastic and everything else we got in here was good. The fries were cooked really crispy and not soggy like most places. we got the sweet potato tots and they were fantastic. I've never had anything like it. read more

Wow! Let me just say I am blown away by this place!!! The food, the service, the AMBIANCE. Bon appetit as the French say. Let me set the scene: It's a Friday night, 6:03 pm. It's cold and I'm looking for a place to eat; to warm my stomach and my heart. Anyways I walk in and there's this little lady at the host stand. 16 maybe? Anyways, she's a very sweet and helpful (and also has lovely blonde highlights!! Where did she get those?) and showed me to my table promptly. Let's discuss this dining room for a second: it was so clean in there. Seriously. I could have eaten my food off of those chairs and left in perfect health. It was that clean. Good temperature, felt cozy, like my home down in Florida. Tables were made of quality wood, just like my tables in Florida! Now for my server, it was this little blond girl, obviously fake blonde but I won't hold that against her. It was great service truly. She was sweet and attentive; high praise blondie! (Her name started with a C, if you know her, tell her I appreciate her!) The food was great. Ordered an appetizer of those fried green tomatoes. Blew me out of the water! (Just like the waves do down in Florida!) I've never had a green tomato, nor have I seen the movie. But let me tell you, they were so good that I went home and watched it. (The movie was not as good as my appetizer...) As my entree, I got the shrimp and grits. Now I'm from the south, I know my grits, and I can tell the chef knows just as well as I do! Those grits dang bear brought me to tears! I mean seriously, my eyes watered. They were just divine. Tasted so fresh, so savory, so flavorful. I couldn't have gotten better shrimp even if I was at my home in Florida!! Compliments to the chef truly. Now, at the end of my meal I sure was full. But boy does this little girl know how to sell! She sold me on the homemade apple pie and that was honestly the perfect ending to a delectable meal! Not too sweet, crust was cooked to perfection, and the ice cream on top was a perfect choice! Seriously, unreal! I'm so happy I decided to spend my evening at Cast, boy do you all know how to run a restaurant! Highly recommend this place! As always, Johanna out. read more

FWIW, anytime a restaurant/bar serves me a salad in an oversized bowl, you're going to get an extra star because YOU GET IT. For a bar-kind of atmosphere I wasn't expecting much from a salad standpoint, but really enjoyed the fresh flavors. Everyone was really happy with their meals--we had burgers amongst the table and started with some wings, too. And fried mac n cheese. A good middle-of-the-road location that can please a family. read more

We had brunch for my daughter's birthday. Hannah , our server was great!! We were a little worried when she was sat another 10 top right after us. Hannah seemed to handle everything with ease!! Food was good! Everything was perfectly cooked! Downsides, very limited dessert selection. Where we were seated I could see into the booths , there was trash on the floor under all of them On the whole a very pleasant dining experience We will return. read more

Read the reviews and couldn't wait to try this place.. I should have waited. The food was extremely salty. Everything from the hot dog to the shrimp and grits, and not just your usual southern salty.. I'm talking country ham hanging up in the smoke shed salty. I could not even finish the meal.. but even overlooking the salt the food was not cooked very well. The grits were a bit dry and lumped together. The place was empty when I went in.. that should have been my first clue that the food wasn't good read more

10 out of 10........ a rare rating that I give a restaurant. Cast had it ALL- staff was amazing (hostess AND waitress) gave great cocktail and menu suggestions. I had a cocktail appetizer and meal(as pictured below). We were able to eat pay and be done within 30min. Which is AMAZING. Everything came out in a perfectly timed matter and each item was cooked to perfection. We will be back and I encourage you to give this place a try. I don't use the word PERFECTION often- but husband and I both left there and said "wow" they know what they are doing! read more

This did not look like my kind of place (country music playing, located in a strip mall, pretty empty) but the food and service were surprisingly good. I had the Korean ahi tacos with asparagus (subbed for fries) and it was really good! My husband had the beef filet sandwich with sweet potato fries. He also really liked his food. Our server was super nice and the food came out quickly. read more

The service was terrible. Waited over an hour for our food. The music was too loud to speak with in our group. The food was average at best. read more

I've come here twice. The music gets pretty vulgar. I've requested that they change the music but I'm told that the owner controls it from his phone off site. I just can't sit with my wife & listen to it. Grab my "dick" open your mouth put it in my face. Just a one line example of what they play. Really can your customers have a better atmosphere than this. read more

This restaurant is awful!! I gave ordered twice here and both times my order was wrong and nonexistent. I called the manger both times to no resolution. Manger lied and stated that he will send me a gift card via email. That was a lie! read more

One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Food, drinks and service is always good. Reservations recommended on weekends

2nd time visiting last night. Just as good as the first. Get the steak tacos - you won't regret! Every component perfect - steak well-seasoned, corn salsa adds a nice touch, avocado perfectly ripe, aioli brings a smooth heat. And the fries are fantastic. Wife had the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread. Really good as well. Great service, too! So happy to have a restaurant in this side of town with such a varied and high quality selection. Place is clean, food comes out at the right pace, and COVID precautions were what you'd want to see. Can't wait to go back and try other things! read more

So I'm getting this place a four stars right now because we did not get to try their food. We actually went there to grab a beer. the place is absolutely cute and we do plan on visiting and I will update my review Once I try their food. Their bathroom was clean which was a huge plus for me and their staff was friendly which is also a plus. It's so close to home which means we will definitely be back to check out the food they offer here. read more

What a great place! My husband and I have been mourning the loss of Founders' Tavern at this location for some time, and Cast Plates & Pints comes very close in the quality of its offerings and in its staff. Excellent menu and good craft cocktails. I had the filet sandwich with asparagus as a side, and my husband and I shared a macaroni and cheese bites appetizer. Both were delicious. I am thrilled that a place worth stopping in to has been reopened at that location -- Mr. P's disappointed relentlessly. The decor at Cast is not as cozy as that of its predecessors -- it's actually a bit stark, much of the oak paneling and stained glass are gone. But the overall vibe and the food and drink more than compensate. This will likely become one of my new favorite places. read more
