    Posting again since it has been a while. The target audience for this restaurant is anyone over 60. They show up in droves. It is a gathering place for locals. The place needs updating. The booths are old, but still comfy. The food choices are varied. It isn't Michelin cooking but the food is decent. My guest had three fish options and enjoyed her choice. There are lots of vegetables and salads. The servers are wearing masks and I noticed that a few older people (like my guest) had trouble hearing everything. The portions are large and you can get a to go container (small plastic or large foam) if you don't finish. The French fries weren't memorable. The Mac and cheese and Lima beans were the best. One advantage to having a line is that you have a minute to look at all the options before you take your tray. When someone has a walker or wheelchair, the cashier rings a bell and an employee carries the tray for your guest. This is really appreciated. The separate to go area (directly beside the cafe) needs better signage. We almost walked in. The servers are so quick that they don't always linger when you need something. They staff stayed busy the entire visit.

    First walking in there is no signs telling you where to go, when you get through the door way there are even less information on what to do. You grab a tray and pick from what is on the hot plate, they have sides, main dishes like "stir fry" with choice of meat and desserts. The prices are listed for each item so you pay for each plate you ask for. Then you choose a drink. The air vents, every single one of them are EXTREMELY moldy. One of the booths had an employees empty lunch boxes all over it. My "stir fry" was SATURATED in soy sauce, my rice was swimming in it. My daughter got spaghetti broccoli and a roll, it was okay nothing too great. I like that the kids meals are just small portions of adult meals. Would I come back? No. Was it bad service? Also No. But the food was lacking and it doesn't seem very new customer friendly.

    The place is clean and large. Lots of seating spaces. However, very confusing where to go and what to do. They have a side door that we thought was main door. But it was a take out area that had no seating. We almost left thinking it was just a take out business (as we wanted to sit down and relax as we are). No one offered to help and direct us either. I sort of wondered around and found a hall way back to the main restaurant area. They had lots of food varieties, which was nice. However. most dishes were prepared like TV dinners style and canned goods type food. But, good sized portions served. For the price it was reasonable. They had items like several types of salads, jello, whipped sweet potatoes, broccoli, ribs, fried chicken, fruit, ham, spaghetti, pie, etc. It's not an all you can eat buffet. Though it's a buffet style place, you pay for each item you ask them to place on your dish. including sides, salads, main course, desserts, drinks. It's quick to be served, at least when we were there ( late lunch) too. Nice to have cloth napkins too. Main problem was that their bath rooms were out of service. Not a good situation for a restaurant. Forgot to get any photos but here are some examples from their food pictures (which is a good representation of the actual foods that can be ordered.)

    Well to start the food was mediocre at best. The baked chicken looked like it was fried. The sweet potato casserole needed sugar and everything else that makes it taste down home good. Chicken and dumplings, cabbage, mac and cheese could all be improved upon. As far as cleanliness goes, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned since it opened. The vents are filthy as is the carpet

    There are restaurants that you discover out of nowhere, just to become unforgettable. Ones that you…read moreused to drive pass them without realizing what you were missing. Until that one day that you decided to stop, and explore a whole new culinary world. After having been selected as number 4 of the Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at the Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, 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 found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Coach & Four Restaurant, in Roanoke Virginia is a perfect example. At first it was just a large colonial house turned restaurant on Williamson Road in Roanoke, Virginia. But once I decided to stop and explore it, it has become one of my favorite restaurants in Roanoke, Virginia. Its uniqueness lies not only in its colonial atmosphere and in its classic American cuisine, but primarily in its amazing staff that from the time you walk in begin to make your fine-dining experience one that you'll always remember and cherish dearly. Their refined behavior creates a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere that create unforgettable dining experiences. Today, after having gone through one of the worst snow and ice storms in years, I decided to not allow the icy roads to hold me back, and requested a Lyft to take me there for dinner. As soon as I arrived, the friendly host came out to greet me and take me to a table of my choice. My server from the first time I dined there, happened to recognize me and took me to the booth where I had dined the first time I ever dined there. We discussed a Mocktail for me to drink and she came back with an amazing drink, and a small meatball as an "amuse-bouche," designed to prepare ones palate for the meal. After studying the restaurant's extensive menu, I ordered their Bacon Wrapped Scallops as appetizer. For my main entrée I ordered the Prime Rib Combination that consisted of a generous portion of roasted prime rib served with a delicious lobster tail. For the two sides that came with my main entree, I had their famous tossed salad with their in-house made blue cheese dressing and a loaded baked potato. The scallops were not so big in size but big in flavor and texture. The salad was amazing, as always. The main entrée looked well at first, but when I cut into the prime rib it was too well done to be able to appreciate the flavor of the meat. But my server came by, as promised, to see if the prime rib was cooked to my satisfaction, and when I told her it was too well done for my original request of medium-rare, she gracefully apologized and took it back. Returning shortly with another piece of prime rib more to my liking. For dessert I had a slice of Pecan Pie a la mode, which by the way was amazingly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for one of the best fine-dining experiences of your life. And am looking forward to returning and ordering ahead of time their Baked Alaska to have for dessert.

After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to return to those special ones, that have made a difference in my life and highlight them, for the benefit of the public, so they too can have an opportunity to appreciate the qualities of a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience. And Bernard's Gastropub & Eatery in Downtown Roanoke, is a perfect example. Bernard's was born out of the love of two culinary aficionados turned professionals that in someway have managed to create a restaurant with an environment that transmits this intimate love to the hearts of their customers through the attention to detail in its extraordinary customer service and amazing culinary masterpieces. Today, I felt like dining at this restaurant, which I admire for its consistency in always far exceeding my high expectations of what a fine-dining restaurant should be all about. Not knowing if they would have a table for me at this late time on a Saturday early evening, I drove in my pearl white Lexus to the nearest private parking lot and gave them a call to inquire as if they could give me a reservation for the next ten minutes. A gentleman, who later I found out was named Matthew, and would be my server, answered the phone with a very polite and welcoming voice; answering my question of what was the special dish of the day and to come on down, that my reservation was assured. As soon as I arrived to the small, very elegant foyer in front of the Host's station, he came out to greet me and instantly recognized who I was. My only request was that he give me a low table because at my age seating at a high table was a bit uncomfortable. He went back to see what he could find and ended setting me up with what I consider one of the best tables of the house, and I was so appreciative of his last minute accommodation. The menu was already setup on my table. He poured water from a special bottle into my water glass and asked if I wanted something else to drink. I asked for a Mocktail and since he also was a bartender, he prepared me one of the best mocktails I've ever had. To dine, I started out with their Mussels Carbonara appetizer, which came in a bacon parmesan cream sauce that was simply amazing, and served with toast points. As my main entrée I had the Dinner Special of the Night, the Seafood Trio. It had a delicious, giant size crab cake in the middle, scallops, and shrimps, with parmesan risotto sautéed heirloom tomato, spinach, and nice size asparagus, with a burre blanc sauce. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the high-quality of their food and magnificent ambiance of the place. Everything was so delicious that only one word could ever describe them: priceless! For dessert I had their very famous Butterscotch Banana Pudding, which the chef makes at the moment ordered. It looked spectacular and tasted amazingly delicious: a culinary work of art. What a great way for the Gran Finale of an extraordinary dining experience!

This was where we were supposed to meet for the last class in one of my Graduate School courses. Yet after inquiring some more, I discovered that "Watering Hole" is a slang for a bar, pub, or other social gathering spot where people go to drink and socialize. 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, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, 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 found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And The Watering Hole in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. Located in Market Square North, a shopping center with a mix of retail and restaurants options, plus ample parking, in the Hollins area of Williamson Road, The Watering Hole Bar and Grill was established in 2010 as a gathering spot to meet with friends and enjoy comfort food with bar drinks, spending the time chatting and at times listening to live music in this rustic clubby space. If you explore their website first, the emphasis on its food could be deceiving. I arrived at the place on a weekend evening expecting to find the restaurant full and yet it was the bar that was full with baby boomer age customers drinking and enjoying chatting with each other. There was only one table with a family with two daughters having dinner. I looked around for a Host table with someone to take you to be seated at your table, but there was no one to be found. So I went and asked the husband of the only full table, and he told me that the server who is mostly at the bar had told them to seat at any table, and they were waiting for her to bring them the menu and take their order. So after hearing this, and still not seeing anyone showing up to greet me, I went and sat at a table. The decor of the place were some antique items decorating the walls. Up front it had a small open stage which later I found it was used sometimes for live music performances, Karaoke, or for a DJ to play music. In the back there were two pool tables. Which after a while, the DJ and the person who arrived with him to help setup, were the ones playing pool. A friendly young lady finally showed up and greeted me when she saw me, asking what I wanted to drink. When asked for non-alcoholic drinks, no mention of Mocktails, only that they had Pepsi products. I ordered a Dr Pepper, which she brought after some time with the menu. After studying the menu and waiting her to come back, another lady came to take my order with a smile. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp as appetizer and the Chicken Platter with a salad and fries as the two sides. Only one option of salad dressing was presented to me. When the food finally arrived, the shrimps were extremely small and not too fresh. The two chicken breasts were skinny and dry inside, and not plumpy and juicy inside as I'm used to having in my favorite Bars and Grills. After I finished eating I just asked for the bill and decided to have dessert elsewhere. I really wished that the food would have been better because the place was very cozy, though unorganized, and the servers were very friendly, and if you read the owner's message in their website, they have an excellent idea for a restaurant of this type. Where they are weak is in the execution.

The second dip was not hot and was still clumpy. It seemed like frozen spinach. I asked if the dish could be redone. The server said she would not charge us for the dip. That was nice, especially since it wasn't that great. The third dip was hot and the best effort of the three. The server made sure we weren't charged. My grilled cheese was only cooked on one side. The cheese wasn't fully melted. The second one was better. This location is perfect to bring company arriving from or going back to the airport.
