Yard Bull Meats is a small butcher shop located at 2203 Crystal Spring Ave in Roanoke, Virginia,…read more next to The River and Rail Restaurant. But don't let its small size fool you, this is Roanoke 's only Whole Animal Butcher Shop and it specializes in the best custom cuts & roasts, dry-aged steaks, sausages, deli meats, seafood; and they have the best pork loin chops and tenderloin. When I discovered it and went to check it out, I was amazed at the number of people entering this small space to purchase quality cuts of meats. One after another couples came in, while others couples went out. And they all seemed to be steady customers. The place was very clean with its brick walls painted in white, beautiful light color polished hardwood floors, and its refrigerated display cases, furniture, and equipment was so well maintained that they all looked new. But what impressed me the most was the friendly and knowledgeable staff who provided excellent customer service. They pride themselves in having the best steaks in town, such as the 35-day Dry-Age Bone-In Strip Steaks and Ribeyes - Deep, rich flavor with the perfect amount of funk. Their prices might not be the lowest, but with their superior quality and wonderful treatment provided, you definitely feel your getting above expectation value for your purchase. I highly recommend this Butcher Shop to all those who love quality meats and seafood. And to be given the red carpet treatment while they are shopping.

I ordered some chickpeas and bread, not knowing the chickpeas already came with bread. That said, the thin, grilled, potato-filled bread is delicious when done right, which it was here.

It's the sort of family run place where the kids were hanging out (perhaps a snow day for them). I could imagine them offering more on the market side, but the food I got was a good deal and I saw enough vegetarian options to be worth coming back.

For some time now, I've been looking forward to eating here because I've been hearing many good things about this restaurant, that had been open for less than a year now. When we arrived it was already dark outside, but during this time of the year it gets dark early. The restaurant was well lit from outside and its sign on the small parking lot was lit from inside and had photos of some of their food. It also mentioned that their food was Halal quality. This means that it did not contain pork. Inside, the place was clean and decorated very simple with large size poster prints of photos from some of the cultures of the food and cuisine served here. The dining room was on the left of the building and had booths along the left wall and two persons tables and chairs as well. The owner and host came out and greeted us with a warm welcome, handing us copies of the menu which was very well designed with glossy photos next to the food entrées listed there. This was very helpful because it gave a visual sense of the food, of which many I didn't know, making it easier to order. To drink there were some large display refrigerators full of different drinks for us to reach and get one. To start with since this was our first time eating there, the owner brought us bowls of their Chicken Soup from thebAppetizers section in the menu. This soup was amazingly delicious. Simply the best Children Soup that I have ever had. I urge you to view the photographs that I took to accompany my review and you will get a better sense of it deliciousness. For it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Then we decided to get several dishes to share among all of us imitating the culture of the cuisine. Among the entrées we ordered were: The Fresh Lamb Tikka Kabab, the Bulani kachalo, Chicken Beryani, the Qurma Potatoes, Chick Pea, Eggplant, Salad Afghani Style Plate Mix, and some Special bread. All the food looked wonderful and tasted even better. For dessert we had the Sherpayra (Milk Fudge) and Afghan Mixed Cookies with a cup of a Special Tea. Afterwards we took a tour of the Grocery, on the right side of the building, and observed all the items available, from foods, to rugs, to jewelry, to an indefinite variety of Afghan items. I highly recommend this restaurant as one of a kind, of its kind. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, the food was amazingly delicious, and the service provided was very welcoming and friendly. I definitely think we should all support this new restaurant and tell our friends about it. I know I will enthusiastically.

The quality is good for the price and offers much more value than most fast food places. My wife and I are foodies and we have enjoyed everything we have ordered from them. They have mastered the consistency of their food, every single bacon egg and cheese sandwich tastes exactly the same, I know what I can expect when ordering. What really drove me to leave a review is how impressed I am with the cleanliness of the kitchen! All of the appliances look brand new, even if you peek under the tables and appliances, it's clean! It shows me that they really do care about the end product. Solid kitchen! The food is great but I dont want to take away the fact that the staff is very helpful and professional too. Nobody looks as if they are forced to be there. I believe it is a family owned business and it feels like it! I have no affiliation with Owen's, I am just very happy with the quality and consistency with Owen's. It's worth checking out if you are in the area. Oh, I can also get my propane tanks filled there so thats a plus in my book lol!
