    Black and Bleu Burger with steak fries
    Ada B.

    No reservations needed for two people on a Wednesday around 6:00pm . First time trying this restaurant. We had a very friendly waitress, Kristina. She had a great attitude and that always makes dinner more enjoyable. The restaurant is big and the booths are comfortable. Noise level was medium . The fried mushrooms are very good, the Black and Bleu burger accompanied by steak fries was tasty and the Sirloin steak was mediocre. I had to add pepper and salt to make it better . Tasted like a frozen steak, but still edible .( not worth $25.99) The Ultimate Chocolate Cake was very good and it was perfect to split between two . Although they don't sell bottled spring or sparkling water , I Will definitely return and look forward to trying other items on the menu.

    Reuben sandwich - not pictured was the garden salad, which was very good.

    Our waiter, Aaron, was very attentive and didn't hesitate to share the hits and misses on the menu. Our fried mushrooms hit the spot, though very boring. The horseradish sauce was rather tame. The salad was fresh & delicious. The Kendal Calzone (w/pepperoni) was huge! It was excellent, be sure to ask for extra dipping sauce. It's definitely a 3 person meal (or 2 very hungry people). The Rueben was very full of meat and sauerkraut, the bread was tastey. The only down side was that one side was nice and crispy and the other side was not. This lead to a soggy sandwich by the end. I summary, service 5, the atmosphere 5, the food 4

    Huge pretzel and order of garlic knots

    It's everything we expected and more. Everything about this place showed it was a major part of the fabric of the neighborhood. Great local spot with large portions at amazing prices. There are a lot of people bustling around. Service was very fast and friendly. This was our second time and it didn't disappoint. It will be a regular spot for us as well.

    Jalapeño meatloaf. Fried mushrooms. Fish & chips.

    Good experience- we'll be back. A lot bigger than it looks. Tons of seating & tons of tvs to watch the game. Service was friendly & fast. Food was good. Fish & chips - fish was greasy (press on coating, grease pools). Dip that comes with fish is delicious! Meatloaf was good - too much gravy on mashed potatoes (ask for it on the side).

    This is one of my favorite spots in the Salem and Roanoke area. Great local spot with a large diverse menu, great service, and really impressive beer taps. I had the Katie salad for lunch and it was excellent. Great local sports bar vibes

    I'm sorry but this place was just ok for me. Ordered the Sirloin steak and the burger. The burger was supposed to be medium and was way overcooked. It tasted like a frozen bubba burger. The steak was cooked to temperature but was extremely salty. I was passing through from New Jersey on my way to Memphis. Our hotel was in the area and we stopped in for a quick bite after a long drive. To their credit the fries were very good but our dining experience was underwhelming.

    Returned to Mac N' Bobs recently with my dad for lunch while we were in Salem. I came here for the first time about a month ago with my dad and we were both more than satisfied with our experience. So when we were back in Salem, we knew we had to return with a doubt! The service is on point here. It is very friendly, personable, accommodating, and welcoming. The restaurant has a great vibe about it, with plenty of sports memorabilia from around the area. It is clean, with a nice variety of seating. We were quite hungry and ended up ordering 2 appetizers to split, before our entrees! Even our waiter doubted our ability to finish all the food. To start, we ordered the fried mushrooms and large pretzel. The mushrooms were plentiful and came with a horseradish dipping sauce. They were fried to perfection and the mushrooms still had a juiciness to them. The pretzel was massive and heavenly. Served with their AMAZING beer cheese and spicy brown mustard, this was a great appetizer. The pretzel itself had a slight butteriness to it and was baked to perfection. After our appetizers, which were large enough to be entrees, we each ordered a sandwich. My dad went with the Reuben and steak fries. While I was considering either the pesto chicken sandwich or the chicken avocado BLT. I inquired about which one our server recommended and she told me she knew without doubt and I would just have to see. I ended up receiving the grilled chicken avocado BLT, and man was it good. The bread wasn't too heavy, the grilled chicken had a nice char to it and wasn't dry. There was a nice balance between the bacon to avocado ratio and the basil aioli enhanced the sandwich. My dad's Reuben was also really, really good. It had tons of meat and was super flavorful. And of course, the steak fries were fried to perfection, yum! We spontaneously ended up ordering dessert. Our server was more than shocked with the amount of food we already had put away. We ended our meal with the brownie ice cream sundae. The brownie wasn't super heavy and the vanilla ice cream was rich. Nothing too special, but not disappointing either. Overall, we had another great experience at Mac N' Bobs. Our server was really great, she had a nice personality and joked with us. Everything we ordered we were satisfied with and really liked. We love coming here and look forward to the opportunity to return whenever we are in Salem.

    The ALLSPORTS CAFE in Salem, Virginia, is a nice size restaurant housed in a building full of…read morebooths and tables and chairs in a festive place with a relaxed environment. It is decorated with a huge number of framed sports memorabilia tightly filling all its walls, as well as with many large screen TVs in front of a long bar located on the left side of the restaurant as you go in. The dark color painted walls and black ceiling give the place a cozy feeling and the open well lit space provides a comfi atmosphere in which to enjoy a comfortable meal with friends and family. I arrived there with a friend on a Tuesday, the day after we were hit with a snow fall and icy weather. It was hard to find parking. We finally drove around and found a two hour parking space in front of the sidewalk that led to the place. The sidewalk however was full of ice and snow, and I couldn't imagine how in a City like Salem it had not been cleared up either by the merchants located there or by the City. We had to be very careful walking towards the restaurant on a sidewalk in this condition. When we left, we also had a hard time pulling out of the parking space because of the ice and snow under the car. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and taken to one of the booths in the back area of the restaurant and provided with a copy of its two page menu. Both of us ordered iced water to drink and the Joe Gibbs Burger accompanied by a huge load of thin fries to eat. I also had a side of coleslaw. This burger had the Tennessee Bourbon sauce, bacon, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato & mayo. It was very fresh and juicy and the thin cut fries were amazingly delicious and plentiful. When we were finished and asked for the dessert menu our server told us that they didn't have dessert. I could not believe this and wondered if she was about to get off duty and wanted us to just pay so she could go home. So I inquired how come how could a place like this with a comfortable ambiance and great food didn't have any desserts. She then told us that they usually had one dessert a month, but the January dessert had not yet arrived. This was hard to believe but we paid and took off. I hope that when management reads this review they take action to fix this depending on what the real truth was and to train the servers on how to handle situations like this one. Overall I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and the food was amazingly good. If they would just fix the dessert issue I would definitely recommend this place and enjoy coming back again.

He really loved the wings! He says we found our spot for wings now! Service was great our server was super sweet and the food came out pretty quick! Will be coming again...not as a big group again but, well you know! Try them out!

    Today was my first time eating at this restaurant and although I love their Downtown Roanoke…read morelocation one, and have giving it 5 Star reviews, this one I feel deserves only 2 Stars at best and that's giving it too many because I feel it's one of the worst Seafood restaurants I've ever eaten at. From the time I arrived at their parking lot that where I parked was not even paved but full of rocks and dirt, I started questioning in my mind, how would it be inside. When I entered through their back door, it was their bar area and some high tables and chairs for people to eat in that area, but I didn't see anyone to greet you nor a sign to say "Seat Yourself." So I kept walking forward. There were a couple of pool tables along the way with customers playing pool. When I reached up front, the Host wasn't at the Host station but as I waited there standing up, one of the servers came by, greeted me, and took me to one of the booths. She handed me a copy of the menu which you could tell were run down around the edges. Only the Summer Food Specials one was in good condition. To drink I ordered a Sweet Iced Tea. It tasted watered down and had no lemon slice in it. Yet the server was so nice that I felt sorry for her because she had nothing to do with the quality of the drinks nor the food prepared there. The ambiance of the place was Ok, but not as nice as the one in Downtown Roanoke. I didn't like that other than the booths all their tables and chairs were the high kind. Another thing, my favorite item in their Downtown Roanoke restaurant menu was not even in their menu here. I invite you to read and view my photographs and video of their Downtown Roanoke restaurant to see the difference. For food I ended up ordering the Piggyback Scallops (bacon wrapped Scallops) and as the main course, their Seafood Platter with fried Jumbo Golf Shrimps and Cod Fillet, with rice pilaf and onion rings as side, and it also came with two Hushpuppies. My server goes back to put the order and next time I see her she is bringing me my main course and forgetting about my appetizer. When I mentioned it to her she tells me she'll go put the order in now. To be brief the Cod Fish was the only item that looked and tasted fresh. The shrimps where somewhat soggy, the onion rings looked awful, the rice pilaf was lukewarm and the Hushpuppies were burnt outside and raw inside. The scallops didn't taste fresh wrapped in mostly raw bacon. I asked for tater tots as a replacement for the onion rings, and even them were not cooked well. And if this wasn't enough, my Keylime Pie I ordered was not fresh. It was mushy like if it had been left out for a while. I invite you to view my photographs because a picture is work a thousand words. After I paid and was leaving and walked by the kitchen I glanced in and it didn't look that clean to put it nicely. Then when I went to the restroom to wash my hands it was also not very clean. I felt I wasted my money there and wouldn't recommend this restaurant nor plan to return.

Macado's slogan "Just to be there" is meant to highlight Macado's welcoming, highly social atmosphere; suggesting that this restaurant is more than just a place to have a meal.

Macado's Salem was established in 1990 by the Macher family to bring Macado's signature blend of hearty sandwiches and eclectic decor to the heart of the City of Salem. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also 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 businesses, 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 this Macado's in Salem, Virginia is a perfect example. Today I visited this restaurant for the first time to experience first hand this beloved hangout place and see for myself if it's living up to its reputation and if it's really worth the trip. I invite you to besides reading my review, view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place, its one-of-a-kind ambiance, and high-quality food and drinks, not to mention its extraordinary customer service. From the time I arrived in my pearl white Lexus and took my first photograph of the front of the building which originally was the site of the Malibu restaurant (receiving a total face-lift from the Macher family after purchasing it) and checked-in with my Yelp app with that photo, I started receiving likes from all my Yelp friends, and felt mesmerized about the place and eager to finally walk in. Inside a friendly young lady greeted me and took me to my table. After a warm welcome she took my drink order for an Iced Dr Pepper and went to get it while I studied the extensive menu of which I enjoyed looking at the caricature of this gigantic tall hamburger. When my server nicknamed Bean arrived with my drink, I ordered the Wild Bill Burger. It was described in the menu as having cheddar cheese, smokehouse bacon, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, and topped with beer battered onion rings. All sounded so delicious that set my high expectations for the burger which I chose to be accompanied by their fries which I had yet to taste. My server mentioned that this was a great choice and went to put in the order. When it came out, the burger looked gigantic and marvelous, and tasted amazingly delicious. And the fries light and crunchy. One of the best fries that I've ever had. I asked my server to give my compliments to the cook for such amazing food cooked and displayed to perfection. While I was earing my very kind and efficient server came by to check on me and see if I needed a refill on my drink. For dessert I had an Original New York Cheesecake and a Single Scoop of Vanila Ice Cream. It too was amazing. I made sure to ask for and pay for the bill before it was time to change shifts to make sure my server got her tip. In conclusion, I highly recommend this cozy and friendly establishment not only to have a lovely meal but also to spend some quality time with family and friends. It far exceeded my highest of expectations. And I'm looking forward to returning ... Just To Be There.

And today, right…read morebefore this year's end, I decided that it was time for me to go visit and have dinner there. Located in Grandin Village, one of the most popular neighborhoods of Roanoke, Virginia, it stands alone in a modern looking, white and gray, wide, architectural design, building, on 2326 Grandin Road. I arrived as the sun was beginning to set and parked in one of the spaces of their ample parking lot in front of their building. As I entered their main door, there was a small foyer with a framed collection of beer bottle caps, and a Christmas tree since we were in the Holiday Season. Then I entered a second glass door which on the right was the regular bar and restaurant and on the left, behind another glass door was another bar with a smaller dining area for smoking customers. Although with an ugly color carpet, the type that is installed with square pieces, the restaurant looked clean and presentable, with a bar that consisted mostly of draft beer and no hard liquor. Next to the bar they had a refrigerator with bottles of beer, and their Coke products machine must have been inside the kitchen. There were large screen tvs all around and the walls were decorated with sports memorabilia. The lighting treatment made the ambiance cozy and friendly. There were no employees around to greet me when I arrived. Only two gentlemen drinking at the bar. I waited for a while looking around until I saw the Welcome Seat Yourself floor sign. I went and sat at a table looking over the menus that were there. Finally a friendly, young server came out and took my order. To drink I ordered an Iced Coke. Then, I asked her to first bring me a half House Salad, and afterwards for my main entrée The Joe Gibbs Burger that came with their fries. She left without asking me what dressing did I want for my salad, nor how did I wanted the burger cooked. Their prices were reasonable. Their burgers were 1/3 lb Certified Angus ground chuck, made daily, according to the menu. Another long time of waiting and my server was nowhere to be seen. She never brought me the salad first nor never gave me a refill of my softdrink. After a long wait a gentleman comes out with both my salad and burger at the same time. By the time I ate my salad, which only had two tiny pieces of tomato, the burger had gotten luckwarm and the fries had cooled of that made them no that much appetizing. And they were the skinny fries, my favorite. Then after a long wait my server brings me the bill and I ask her is there time for me to have a slide of their Peppermint Cheesecake from the Christmas menu. After another long wait, she brings it. I then go to the restroom that was dirty and smelly, to wash my hands and go up to the kitchen entrance to ask for the bill. All the employees there were really very nice and welcoming to me, what I think they need is a whole lot of more training on restaurant operation, timing sensitivity, and customer service. I hope if the owner of the restaurant reads this review, and works with management to see that this happens.

    Arrived a few minutes after 2pm. Restaurant basically empty. One bar customer, a couple two tops at…read morethe bar and that is about all that was in the building. Waited at the host station with my two hungry kids and wife. Staff looked at us. Bar looked at us. No one came to help. We waited and waited . Eventually after several minutes we gave up and hunted down a server to get seated. Floors were super dirty. Staff just standing around. Really poor service . It felt like no one cared. Our actual server was nice and attentive . A little pushy at first asking what we wanted to eat while taking the drink order before we could even look at the menu. Still she checked on us continuously and was very nice. Food came out super fast and was really tasty. The bartenders could act like they cared as they stared at us several times with nothing to do but never offered to help. Same with service . Good food, bad service . Three stars for the great food and good server. .

    There are many Applebee's but after visiting this one today I discovered the special qualities that…read moremake it one of my favorites. First of all it has ample complimentary parking all around the building of the restaurant.The building itself has a very modern and beautiful exterior red brick architectural design, as well as an elegant yet comfortable interior design. The interior was very clean with comfortable booths and dining tables and chairs. It has a wonderful menu, very well designed and organized with photos of some of its most popular item. But what really makes a restaurant shine are its people, and its food. And here I was very impressed with both. When I arrived, a young and friendly gentleman opened the door for me at the entrance. This gesture would be normal in a high end restaurant, but here it definitely stood out. He then asked me if I preferred a booth or a table, and then he took me to the one of my preference, and asked me if that one was to my liking. It is in these attention to details that provide by actions a welcoming environment and the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. Then came into the scene, my server, Tiarra, a very friendly lady who immediately gave me a warm welcome and friendly greeting. She was very knowledgeable about the.menu and was able to help me in choosing the menu items for my meal. I started off with a Mango Smoothie to drink, that was listed under the Non-alcoholic Drinks menu page. For my main entrée I ordered the Whole Lotta Bacon Burger. The large size and generous amounts of ingredients clearly justified the high price of the item, that came with nicely cut fries. Everything was amazingly delicious, and the burger had a juicy all-beef patty with three extra slices of Applewood-smoked bacon. While I was eating another gentleman came around to see if everything was to my satisfaction as well as the Host. To culminate this amazing meal I ordered the new sizzlin' Cookie Dough Pie on a skillet. It came with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. My server brought me a glass of iced water when I finished my Mango Smoothie. What a relaxing and great dining experience. I definitely highly recommend this place and look forward to returning in the near future.

    Probably the last remaining Applebees in the Roanoke area. We love the restaurant chain, but this…read moreone is the worst. Cranky wait staff, orders take at least 20 min. to be filled. Don't think it will be around much longer - don't waste your time and money. Sad.

    Four Nineteen West is a Traditional American Restaurant located on 3865 Electric Road in a…read morebeautiful contemporary architectural design red brick building. It offers the perfect combination of upscale and casual dining experience with an exquisite menu of steaks, seafood and American grill, with items such as 8-ounce Filet, Wood Grilled Diver Scallops, Grilled Seafood Trio, and Mahi Mahi, just to name a few. It offers Brunch every Saturday & Sunday from 11am to 3pm and Live Music every Thursday from 7 to 9:30pm, among other Special dinners such as their very popular Thanksgiving Family Style. The restaurant has one of the most beautiful interior designs, with an open kitchen and a modern style lit dome in the center of the dining room. It is such a popular restaurant that the week before today, I had made a reservation through Open Table, and when I arrived, I couldn't find a parking spot for my Lexus, even after driving around their parking lot in circles for a while, and ended canceling the reservation because of this. Today, I arrived early, in time for an early dinner, and to avoid the crowd. As soon as I entered the Host gave me a warm welcome and took me to one of the booths. Not long after my server, a friendly young lady by the name of Amber, greeted me and took my drink order of a Blackberry Sangria Mocktail. For dinner, I ordered a Fried Calamari appetizer, followed by a House Salad with Balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and as my main entrée an 8oz Filet medium rare. Amber provided excellent customer service but her shift ended before I had began my meal, so I was assigned another young gentleman server by the name of Zeke, who also did an awesome job in providing me with an exceptional customer service. The Filet was a bit small for 8oz but it was very tender and cooked to perfection, medium rare, as requested. Zeke forgot to hand me the steak knife, but the manager quickly noticed and immediately brought one to me. So this was not at all an inconvenience to me. For dessert I had a Crème Brûlée. This was the largest size one that I had ever had. And I enjoyed it to the last spoonful. I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful fine dining experience with exceptional customer service.
