I had a lentil soup as a starter. For my entree, I had the Jagerschnitzel, which was topped with a mushroom & onion gravy & was perfectly prepared. Dinner was served family style with spaetzle, sauerkraut, red cabbage & green beans. My service was splendid & my server's accent suggested a Bavarian heritage. The Black Forest cake & coffee made for a fantastic finish. Highly recommend if you're in or around Staunton, Virginia.

It was Katie's, and then Katie's moved upstairs, which granted that space available for Boscov's to move in and take reign of the Piedmont Mall once and for all. Until its eventual downfall in 2012. I guess it heard the end of the world was coming and decided to get on out before the going got tuff. Anyway, Dunham's doesn't really do it for me as pretzel joint. I've been to Katie's Pretzels when it moved upstairs into a little space on the corner across from Belk: my favorite location of them all in the Piedmont Mall. Here is where Katie's Pretzels really came into their own. I mean - WHAAT a location!! This ensured I would visit a part of the Piedmont Mall I would never have traversed otherwise. What even IS Belk ?! But all of the wonders of Katie's Pretzels could not have prepared me for what they would enact - and rightfully deserve - next: a name change. Monk's. Monk's Pretzels is a step into nirvana. Babylon. Pure, unadulterated bliss. A name change in conjunction with the name change of the Piedmont Mall to the Danville Mall. This is pure power, folks. This is as fine as it gets. Visit this place at once. 5 stars. Favorite item: orangeade. Medium please!

An industrial feel, this place is bare bones and based on its drinks. I'm not sure about the food,…read morebut I can say the beer is very flavorful and well thought out. As for the staff, they seem to know their stuff, but that does not affect my rating. For rating I would say it is a 4, bordering close to a 5. The bad marks are the location, the hours of operation and the lack of tvs, or other things to keep my mind from wandering. Still I suggest it if you can stop by, so a 5 is what I will base this on.

Normally not a big deal but something felt odd. No acknowledgement of mistake or apology and an annoyed look. Made me wonder if it was on purpose? 2) The tip screen doesn't have a 0% option. You have to select "other," zero & enter in order to avoid a tip. Most businesses have "no tip" on the first screen as they should when the person is literally just handing you something. 3) Most of my pretzel bites had ZERO salt. Only the first few on top did. None underneath had any. Is this some weird cost savings scam or something? Unsalted is NOT what I ordered. 4) Overall extremely disappointing for $15 worth of dough.

We enjoy visiting local breweries and decided to stop in at AFOG on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm…read moreafter calling and confirming their hours. The brewery was easy to find and we originally thought it was housed inside an old school building but later learned it was previously a health services building. In addition to AFOG, there are also residential apartments in the remaining adjoining part of the building. There is a large outdoor area where a birthday celebration was happening amongst a small group. We proceeded inside and were immediately greeted by Sam. She helped me identify the IPA options and i immediately chose their Millennial Serum, which is a hazy imperial style that I enjoy. We looked around a bit, snapped some photos and looked at their swag. I'm a big tie dye guy and I was happy to see they had a great selection of AFOG tie dye shirts in my size. We decided to sit at the bar while I enjoyed my beer and chatted about our day. We also enjoyed talking with Sam and learning more about the brewery. We learned they are soon opening their second location in Buchanan, Virginia. Great stop, we felt welcomed, the beer was delicious and I have a new tie dye that will remind me of our time in Roanoke.

This was fine for my needs, and indeed I like places with a narrow focus, but it might come as a surprise to some. The space was minimal. I was a bit surprised to see bagels packed in threes; I was expecting to be able to pick them out by flavor one at a time. I was also a bit surprised that the cinnamon rolls their website promised didn't seem to be there, though a few other intriguing baked goods were on sale. Ultimately, I took some mouthwatering rosemary and sundried tomato bagels along with some plain ones for comparison, as well as a chocolate babka cake. The bagels had that bit of sourness that makes them worthwhile, and a nice bit of browning. The babka cake, which I worried would not have enough chocolate, delivered satisfaction on a per-bite basis. What I wanted out of my baked goods is pretty much what i got.

I was already not in the mood for anymore drinking after spending a weekend in a major tournament in Lynchburg. Anyways, for a Saturday evening, this place was pretty packed both inside and outside.

Overall, a must see - especially for the view of the mountains if you decided to eat outdoors.
