Vlore hash stack with cinnamon toast
Chris C.

Like you might not be the Captain Cook type, but if you take a little detour, you'll discover something great (but maybe not Antarctica great). I had the Vlore Skillet - hash browns, bacon, sausage, gravy, cheese and scrambled eggs - frickin' so good. Wife had the veggie skillet - she loved the black olives in every bite. Look, I know, it's a bit off the road, but I'm telling you it's worth it. Service was great. Place was clean and neat. Danville is tough, maybe a little sketch, but you have to stick with it to get here. You won't regret it. Have an adventure. You won't be the first to cross its path, but you'll be glad you did.

The Haystack skillet with added bacon n sausage.
Tim W.

Da-damn! So good! It's 20° outside and I was looking for something filling and warm...I found it. I couldn't finish my haystack skillet but it had everything I ever wanted. Great service too with a smile.

Really good home-like food. The restaurant might be small, but they have a good turnout for customers. Very clean and great staff.

Gilbert Street cafe - Chicken Fajita Skillet

Gilbert Street cafe

(76 reviews)

This spot was jumping this Sunday afternoon. Definitely a popular choice with the locals, and…read morethat's always a good sign! The parking lot was full, but we were able to be sat right away. We were taken to a booth and the seats and table were wet from the quick wipe it had just been given. It wasn't just wet, there were also lots of crumbs that had been left behind. As I looked around, I noticed that the floors were littered with trash and food also. Straw wrappers, napkins and bits of food were present under each and every table. I understand that during a busy rush, the staff probably can't take the time to sweep, but even after the rush nobody bothered to address it. There was a gentleman bussing tables who stayed "on patrol", though. He circled the dining room at regular intervals and made sure that dishes were cleared in a timely manner. I see you, sir! We were greeted right away and our drink orders were taken. That young lady was very kind and upbeat, which was quite welcoming. When she returned with our beverages, she offered to take our orders, but we weren't ready. And just like that, she ditched us! J/K, but kind of for real. A different waitress appeared and took over from there. She was efficient and took good care of us, but in a way, she wasn't as warm. She was no-nonsense and straight to the point. Our food was decent. My husband had The Special, which is a basic breakfast plate (eggs, French toast and bacon), I had the turkey club with fries, and my in-laws both had phily steak sandwiches with fries. The food didn't come out super fast, but that gave us time to settle-in and not feel rushed. It was quite nice and a change from what my husband and I are accustomed to where we live. We had a leisurely meal and caught up with old friends who wandered in and out during our meal. That was another clear sign that this place is a local favorite.

I'm in Danville for business quite often, and whenever I ask people where I should be eating in the…read morearea, they always mentioned Gilbert Street Cafe. I'm really starting to understand the "midwest diner", a large restaurant that always seems to be busy, friendly wait staff and a menu that has every classic American option under the sun. The food is typically done well, and that's why everyone recommends Gilbert Street Cafe. I've come here on three separate occasions thus far and my experiences have been quite consistent. My first visit I got their fried chicken tenders, with their vegetable of the day and a side of hash browns. The breading on the tenders were pretty good, but the chicken itself was missing some seasoning. The vegetable of the day (which seems to always be the vegetable of the day whenever I visit) was mixed veggies. It probably was the stuff you buy frozen in the bag, that was just okay as well. The hash browns were fantastic though, I would highly recommend getting breakfast items, they seem to do those extremely well! My next visit I order the chopped steak and I was very impressed. This one had a lot of good flavor, wasn't too dry and, did I mention that the portions here are super big? That's the midwest diner for ya! On my most recent visit I got the country fried steak with mashed potatoes. This steak was also huge, maybe even larger than the size of my face. It came with this delicious white gravy that reminded me of the gravy put on biscuits and gravy here in the south. It was full of pepper, just the way I liked it. The potatoes on the other hand were a bit disappointing, it was almost like it was powdered mash. Not even the gravy could save it from the texture and flavor. If you're looking for a place to take the family, look no further than Gilbert Street Cafe. It is a community staple, and if you've been around long enough, you'll be sure to find someone you know there. It truly is part of the beating heart of Danville.

Roma Italian Restaurant - Italian Sausage Parmigiana

We returned to one of our area favorites, and yet again, our tastebuds were tantalized…read more They have added several dipping sauces to the menu and for our first venture into these new additions, we tried the Olive Oil, Garlic and Basil sauce. It was brimming with fresh garlic, basil and capers. It was beautifully presented with a garnish of marinated basil leaves, tomato, green pepper and onion. We ordered a second basket of their delightful dinner rolls, just to continue enjoying the sauce. As great as the dipping sauce was, their Minestrone soup was one of the best of all that I have had the pleasure of enjoying. The pasta was comprised of penne as well as tortellini, the vegetables were likewise adventurous : artichoke hearts, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes (of course), onions, and capers (see the photo). The stock was rich and flavorful, accented by pieces of lemon , ever so slightly reminiscent of one of my favorite Greek soups, Avgolemono; yet definitely replete with the classic Italian mystique that is Minestrone. The Veal Parmigiana was awesome and their Limoncello Mascarpone was a good rendition of the classic Italian dessert. Our server was the best, and handsome to boot!!

I was saddened by the…read moreway it looked as I worked at the hotel back years ago when it was a Sheraton and the restaurant was 5 star. We almost changed our mind. We probably should have. While the service was great the food was not. The bread basket was good but the actual meal was disappointing. It looked like Tyson chicken patties and Ragu were used for the chicken parm and the stuffed mushrooms lacked stuffing. The hot coffee was cold! For being a place when it was the Burgundy Room and Bar that was top noch what it is now is sadly not worth it. Even the decor is tacky at best. It's fine to change things, that happens with time but this? This is a whole lotta nope. Really sad. I'd hoped for better. You are better off getting a loaf of French bread and chef Boyardee to be honest and staying home. You'll save a buncha money too as it is way over priced for what it is. I only am giving 2 stars because the service was good and the rolls were good otherwise I would leave just 1. If you do go I recommend alka seltzer when you get home. I had to stop at Casey's for some.
