We were super hungry so was very thankful there was no line and we got sat immediately. The only reason I am giving this a 4 star and not a 5 is because our waitress kept taking forever to get to us.

1 STAR -- $3.99 Wasn't the Problem. The Way I Was Treated Was. I've been eating at Cracker Barrel…read morefor years, and breakfast/brunch has always been one of my favorite reasons to go. I've visited multiple locations and have generally had great experiences. Unfortunately, today's experience was so incredibly disappointing that I feel compelled to share it. I ordered one of the new fall menu items. My waitress, Karmen, asked how I wanted my eggs and then asked what kind of breakfast meat I wanted. I asked what my options were, and she listed them, including ham. I said ham would be great. She then asked what kind of ham I wanted and gave me the choices of sugar-cured or country ham. I chose country ham. My breakfast was fine. Then the bill came. There was a $3.99 charge for the ham. I asked Karmen about it because I was genuinely confused. She was also confused and took the check back to find out why I had been charged. Enter the manager. Instead of simply explaining the charge, acknowledging that there had clearly been a misunderstanding, or even saying, "I'm sorry, our server gave you incorrect information," this manager approached me with an attitude that was nothing short of condescending and insulting. Her tone and comments made it very clear that she thought I was somehow too stupid or "illiterate" to understand that there was an additional charge. I explained multiple times that I had been told by my waitress that ham was an option included with my meal, and that the waitress specifically asked me which type of ham I wanted. Her response? Essentially, "It's your responsibility to make sure your waitress is correct." Excuse me? Since when is a customer responsible for correcting a restaurant employee who is explaining the menu and taking the order? If your employee gives a customer incorrect information, that's a training issue--not a customer's intelligence issue. The manager continued arguing with me and eventually said she would see what the male manager could do. When the male manager came over, I told him something very important: This wasn't about $3.99. I would have gladly paid $3.99 if I had been told there was an additional charge. What bothered me was being treated like I was stupid for questioning a charge that resulted directly from what I was told by their own employee. He apologized for her behavior and told me she was "going through a rough time" and had stepped away. I'm sorry, but having a rough day does not give someone permission to humiliate and disrespect paying customers. I asked for her name because I fully intend to let Cracker Barrel know exactly how I was treated. Interestingly, he wouldn't give me her name. So apparently, I leave knowing that I was treated horribly, the manager responsible simply walked away, and there may not even be any accountability for her behavior. I've worked with the public. I understand that customers can be difficult. I also understand that mistakes happen. What separates a good business from a bad one is how those mistakes are handled. This could have been a 30-second conversation: " I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding. The ham carries an additional charge." Instead, I was made to feel like I was stupid, incapable of reading a menu, and somehow responsible for an employee giving me incorrect information. That's unacceptable. Cracker Barrel, you can keep the $3.99. What you should be concerned about is the fact that someone representing your company thought it was appropriate to speak to a customer this way. The $3.99 didn't ruin my breakfast. Her attitude did. And if this is how management treats customers when they ask a simple question, I can find plenty of other places to have breakfast.

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.

In receiving that generosity, I offered to treat him to lunch at this particular Chili's restaurant near my hotel at the Tanglewood Mall Roanoke. I wasn't feeling at the time and I knew Chili's was kind of pricey, but had delicious fare. My friend was hungry and I wasn't really at the time. We arrived here around 11:30am on a brisk Sunday morning driving up from Rocky Mount. The ambiance was as pleasant as I remember it to be. It was quiet and nice and away from the kitchen, where it is usually noisier than normal. We had booth seating with a window view and that was cool. The service was good, pleasant, and friendly. My friend and I spent about an hour here from start to finish. I basically ordered chocolate molten cake, since I loved these and is relatively inexpensively priced. It really hit the spot after finishing another 50km ultra marathon in Rocky Mount the day before and it was my reward for it. My friend decided to sample a sampler platter, where it looked pretty good and delicious. I also had a strawberry margarita with my chocolate molten cake just because it just made sense. It was a celebration of sorts and it just happened in this Chili's location in Roanoke, Virginia. I enjoyed these conversation and the overall time spent here. Too bad vacations have to end. It was a quick meal before my friend had to return the rental car and head to the airport himself. For the most part though, the meal was good, especially with the alcohol involved. I even got carded and being over 40+ years old. I guess I still look young or something. If you are in the Roanoke area and love to party, consider coming to Chilis, where the alcohol is good and their food is better. The chocolate molten cake is always a winner every single time. Check it out for yourself. The overall experience here at this Chilis restaurant at the Tanglewood Mall area of Roanoke, Virginia was typical in what you'd expect here. It was quiet on a Sunday since the NFL season was over after Ty Super Bowl. It can get loud but i was glad it was not. It is nice to have those restroom facilities to use on site as well. The restaurant itself was clean and had good air conditioning, even though it was mildly cool outside at the time (low 50's F). The strawberry margarita paired nicely with the chocolate molten cake that I ordered. It was smooth and definitely helped with the entire meal and conversation. My friend decided to have a 3 item simpler platter, which worked good for him. Everything was tasty and the service was good. At the end of the meal, we paid the lunch tab on the device on our table instead of having the server take the payment to a central pay terminal and do the transaction there. After hanging out and just enjoying Sunday morning in Roanoke while having lunch, we left and went our separate ways. For the most part though, it was a good meal with my friend. We both did the event in Rocky Mount the day before and coming to Chilis was a celebration of what the human body is capable of when we believe in ourselves. Hope to be back one day soon for another round of celebrations. But for now, it was definitely a nice time here at Chilis. If you find yourself in Roanoke, Virginia and want lunch or dinner, or possibly just drinks, consider coming down to Chilis here at the Tanglewood Mall. Quite magnificent and very nice on any day or night you might be here. This Chilis location is located at the Tanglewood Mall complex in Roanoke, Virginia. It's physically at 4212 Electric Road, Roanoke. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. I think they do mobile ordering too, but you'd need the app for that. As far as parking goes, you have a generous helping of parking spots since it's attached to the Tanglewood Mall. If you are a fan of public transportation in Roanoke, bus route 55 will take you directly here from the 3rd street bus terminal In downtown Roanoke. And of course, there is Uber and Lyft to get you here as well. Best bet would be to get here early enough to secure your favorite parking spot and walk on over. Or get here early enough to enjoy the food and drinks that you were looking forward to all week long. I definitely recommend the chocolate molten cake. I think it's been a signature dish of Chilis as far as I can remember and they have it at all locations, I think. Definitely worth the price for sure and with some alcohol, it's definitely worth every penny. At least for this experience anyway. If you fancy a good lunch or dinner, make it Chilis if you're in the Roanoke area. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B

The Cellar is one of those restaurants where you might wonder, "Do they have ...?" And the answer…read morewill probably be, "Yes, they do have that on the menu." They have gyros, meatball subs, pizza, burgers, crab cakes, kabobs, chicken parmesan and lots more. I get a little squinky when I see a multiple-page menu with lots of random foods on it. But I visited with a group, and so I was locked into this place, whether I liked it or not. A quick internet and Yelp search told me that the things to get at The Cellar are the Greek gyro and the pizzas. I didn't want a whole pie just for myself, so I ordered the gyro. The Greek gyro was really good! It is lamb and beef in a pita, topped with tzatziki, lettuce, onion and tomato. All of the veggies were super fresh, and the pita was warm and pillowy. It's served with chips and a pickle. They actually have quite a few Greek or Mediterranean-adjacent items on the menu. One of the people in my group ordered the Black & Blue Salad, which is basically a salad with steak and bleu cheese on it, plus lots of vegetables. It was huge! She ate a lot of it, and it looked like she barely made a dent. When she put the leftovers in the to-go container, she almost needed two containers! It became a running joke that day and for a couple of days afterward about whether or not she actually finished that salad. This is also the location for the 6Pak Bottle Shop, which is basically a liquor store but intensely curated. They have a nice selection of craft beers and wine. There is also a bar downstairs, which I didn't have the pleasure of visiting. Another great thing about The Cellar is that they are open late! Sometimes until midnight, and sometimes until 2 a.m. I guess that makes sense, as they are located basically right across the street from Virginia Tech.

The Cellar has a basement bar. We snagged a few bar seats. The bar server was great. He provided us waters. He quickly took our cocktail orders and made some very delicious cocktails. My sour apple martini was so good that that a second one was in front of me quickly. One of us ordered a full sandwich meal and that sandwich looked humongous and full of meat. We also ordered sides of curly fries. These were fried fresh. It's somewhat of a dark speakeasy vibe. The crowd was tame compared to some of the other bars down the street. We hope to try the full restaurant in our next visit.
