After watching many, short but to the point, Bojangles TV commercials, I decided it was time for me…read moreto go visit one of their restaurants and try them out. After all, their official slogan is "It's Bo Time" Although the Bojangles southern chicken franchise began serving food in 1977 in North Carolina, this Bojangles is located on Hardy Road in Vinton, Virginia and opened in 2012. One of the first things I noticed when I arrived at this restaurant in Vinton was the simple but fun architectural design of their building and the use of the color yellow on the awnings of the building and on their outside parking lot sign with their logo. Yellow is the most attractive of all colors, and so each time one drives by the restaurant, your eyes can't help it but to gravitate to the restaurant and read the red fonts with their name Bojangles. Also interesting to mention is that the name of Vinton is found written on the logo itself, detail that brings out that the company emphasizes giving back to the communities they serve. Once inside, the interior design was in the minimalist style with a huge open-space dining room with many large windows to bring in the light and the few walls were covered with placks giving recognition to local sports teams with their Team group picture on them. Another sign of the company's commitment to the communities for which they serve. Then what also caught my attention was the short wall labyrinth to help large number of customers line up in front of the ordering counter to wait for their turn to order. As soon as I reached the ordering counter, one of their friendly employees, wearing their red t-shirt uniform, warmly greeted me, answering all my questions about the menu, and taking my order. I ordered the #10, Bojangles' Chicken Sandwich Combo. With the Season Fries and a drink. And two Blueberry Cookies for dessert. I paid with my credit card and was given my receipt. I didn't have to wait much for my order to be served at the pick-up counter. The first thing I noticed was the bun so soft and fresh, a little thing but a sign of a good restaurant. The chicken inside was so plumpy and crunchy with just the right seasoning. The fries had just the right cut to help bring out their flavor. And the cookies tasted homemade and delicious. Even the drink from the machine was very refreshing. I ended having a refill. As I was eating I noticed other customers coming in and dining feeling like at home, many cars being served at the drive-thru, the employees showing teamwork and providing exceptional customer service, and even taking the time to dine themselves before the rush time arrived. I was so impressed with the food and service that I received, dining at a Bojangles for the first time, that I did my research and found out that Bojangles considers its people to be their number one asset. They emphasize developing and training their team members, recognizing their importance to the company's success.

There is something special and satisfying about a Burger King Whopper. Maybe it is that I've been…read moreeating it since I was a kid and love the taste of it. That unique broil flavor is something else. Or maybe it is the toppings that come with it: the lettuce, the tomatoes, the onions, the pickles, the mayonnaise, and the ketchup, of course. But the Whopper wouldn't be that good if it weren't for the people behind the counter that prepare it our way. That is why I've been coming to this Burger King restaurant in Vinton for a while now, and it's one of my favorites. The employees there are always very welcoming and friendly. They cook the burgers and fries at the moment they are ordered so that they are hot and fresh. The hamburger buns are always soft and fresh, as well as all the tomatoes, pickles, and all the other ingredients inside. And the fries are always so fresh and hot. All these little things really make a big difference when it comes to eating in one place rather than another. And this place is also always so clean and organized. Everything is in its place. You feel relaxed to be here and therefore better enjoy the eating experience. The only improvement I would suggest to the management of this place is not to put less lettuce in the Whopper than they should nor any of the other ingredients that make the Whopper what it is. It is not worth it depriving a customer from a complete Whopper to save a few pennies. Follow this advice, and this restaurant surely deserves a five-star rating. I totally recommend this Burger King, and my congratulations to its employees for such good work they do to maintain the good quality and service that Burger King has always been known for.

Texas Tavern is one of those rare dining places that has become practically a historic icon in the…read moreCity of Roanoke. This dinner is housed in an old but well maintained tiny building on Church Ave SW in the heart of Downtown Roanoke. Opened 24 hours, 7 days a week, it is one of the few places where you can go have breakfast, lunch, or dinner, any time during the day. For this review I decided to wake up early in the morning and go visit it while it was still dark outside. You know turning an everyday event like having breakfast into a one of a kind adventure. As I arrived I was impressed to see this old, small, brick building, very well maintained, painted white, and very well lit all around and highlighted with a red neon light all around it on top. There were two men talking in the corner outside and one inside talking to the employee there and who was just about to leave. The decor of the restaurant was that of an old American dinner. After all, it first opened in the 1930's, but very well kept throughout all these years, and extremely well clean. Even the counter and ten red stools had that antique look, but nice and clean. It was like stepping back in time, very surreal, with even a working Coke machine inside. Here they only take cash as payment, but to remind you of the present, it contained an ATM machine inside a corner inside to help you have access to cash. At this time there was only one employee working there, but he was so welcoming and with such a nice personality and positive attitude in life. He started working here 5 years ago, around the time of covid, after having to change jobs, but has loved and enjoyed this job ever since; and it showed. The dinner was full of signs on the walls, including the menus. One of my favorites was a cartoon that said "Texas Tavern HOME of the CHEESY WESTERN." Another said: "Since 1930 we serve only H&C Brand Coffee. They also had for sale some souvenirs of the place, including a book with the title of Texas Tavern Four Generations of Millionaires Club by Shari L. Dragovich. It was $23 and signed by the author. For breakfast, I ordered from the Club Breakfast Menu, 3 Eggs over easy, Bacon, and White Toast with Butter, and a cup of coffee. The eggs were small but had the yellow color of fresh farm eggs and tasted the same, and their white toast was fresh and soft, from Flowers, with butter spread on them that made them taste just wonderful. Sometimes it is the simple things in life that bring the most joy. The cup of coffee with cream and sugar was nice and hot and tasted amazing. I enjoyed talking with Ryan, the employee, while having my breakfast, and am looking forward to return to have their famous Cheesy Western, Hotdog Chile, Hotdog, and Burger. In this little hometown restaurant I had one of the best breakfast dining experiences of my life. Very memorable indeed. I highly recommend this place to all of you reading my review. You will not be disappointed, and it will be an experience you will always cherish and never forget.

Today I was about to go to this Pizza Hut in Vinton but I called ahead of time and found out that they only do Take Out or Delivery, so I placed an order through Door Dash from home for a large 14" Supreme Pizza. It included pepperoni, seasoned pork, beef, mushrooms, green bell peppers and onions. It was set at Hand-Tossed Pizza Crust, with Classic Marinara Sauce, and Regular amount of cheese. And had it hand delivered. While I waited I noticed that they had other options of crust such as the Original Pan Pizza, the Original Stuff Crust, their Thin 'N Crispy, and their Tavern Pizza. They also had their Personal Pan Pizza. When the pizza arrived, it was delivered in a modern design box that was sealed with a sticky label up front. It arrived hot and had a lot of ingredients but lacked cheese and sauce, and I found the crust to be on the sweet side. Once at one of their now extinct Taco Bell / Pizza Hunt restaurants I had a Pepperoni Personal Pan Pizza (the only one in the menu) and I seemed to like it better than this one because the crust was not so sweet and it had more cheese and sauce and this made the spicy taste of the pepperoni stand out better. In conclusion, this pizza from this Pizza Hut in Vinton was good, but not as enjoyable, and I think I would have preferred their Original Pan Pizza.

The Roanoke Weiner Stand is a classic family restaurant that has been around since 1916…read more Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Roanoke, right next to the Center in the Square, and the Roanoke City Market, this place is full of local history and mystic. After all, hot dogs are deeply embedded in America's food culture. After hearing so much about this local family restaurant and the important role it has played in the lives of the people of Roanoke and its visitors throughout the years, I decided to go visit for myself, explore the restaurant, taste its food, study its interior design and ambiance, and experience for myself a taste of the famous Roanoke Weiner that everyone is talking about. First of all, I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and how it managed to mix the old with the new in its contemporary interior design, furnished with new but furniture design from the restaurants of the 60's, and souranded with artworks and photographs relevant to the long successful history of the restaurant and it's founder. Branded as the Hot Dog King and Roanoke's Oldest Restaurant, customers of all ages will have memories of the time when they visited their old location and soon to be new customers as they visit this new location with a historic resilience. All focused on one simple but delicious American cuisine item: the hot dog. When I entered the restaurant for a late lunch it was already full of customers eating there; some arriving and others leaving. Some even mentioning how they have been customers of the place for years. Above the ordering counter was a large menu for one to study while the customers in front ordered their food. When my time came up to order, a young lady greeted me and took my order. I ordered a hot dog. A sloppy Joe, french fries, homemade banana pudding and a small drink of Iced Dr. Pepper. As the lady took the order, a gentleman prepared and brought it to the counter. I went to sit down at a table where I could see the inside of the restaurant and at the same time view through the front window the Historic Market Building. The hot dog was a quality yet simple hot dog served in a fresh and soft bun with mustard, chili, and onions. The French Fries were crinkle cut. The Sloppy Joe Sandwich was served on a Hotdog bun. The hot dog and fries were delicious. The chili was a bit too salty for me as well as the sloppy Joe. I would also have appreciated it in a burger bun. The Banana Pudding could have used more sugar. But the dining experience was very unique and worthwhile. And I discovered a great place to enjoy some time alone or with others.
