Following…read morebehind two other gents, I decided to copy their order and got one of the ABTs with a brisket wrap. The wrap was okay, nothing special. Nicely loaded and assembled, more stuff than brisket. The winner here was the ABT, an Atomic Buffalo Turd. Absolutely appalling to look at but what would you expect with that name? A jalapeno pepper stuffed with cream cheese and pulled pork, wrapped in bacon and then smoked over hickory. It looks exactly like the name but it's still delicious. Friendly service and outdoor eating. Get an ABT. You'll thank me. [Review 13757 overall, 1078 of 2020, number 1192 in Virginia.]

Here's the elite version: One look at Mama Jean's handwritten chalkboard menu told me this was a place that lets the food do the talking--and the fried ribs backed it up. The fried-rib special was the undeniable star. Topped with Buffalo sauce, hot honey, Gorgonzola cream sauce, Gorgonzola crumbles and green onion, these ribs were an absolute revelation. They were fried hard--the right way--giving the outside a satisfying bite while the meat remained tender inside. Sweet, spicy, tangy, creamy and savory, it was a bold combination that somehow worked beautifully from every angle. The pulled-pork sandwich refused to be overshadowed. The pork was moist, tender, well-seasoned and piled ridiculously high on a soft bun. This was a serious portion of properly cooked pork--not a sandwich relying on sauce to carry it. Then came the collard greens, which unexpectedly became the star of the sides. I expected them to play backup, but they had enough presence to stand beside the barbecue. The mac and cheese was good, but those collards were the side I kept returning to. Mama Jean's is not a barbecue spot you want to miss if you're anywhere near Roanoke. The setting is casual, the portions are generous and the flavors are unapologetically big. If the fried ribs are written on that chalkboard, don't overthink it--order them before they're gone. Top-notch barbecue

My wife and I visited Wingstop on October 9, 2026. The parking lot was congested, forcing us to…read morepark further away, though we welcomed the extra walk. Inside, the restaurant was crowded, and I was surprised by how many employees they managed to fit into such a compact space. After deciding on our meal and placing our order, we found seating. While waiting for our food to be served, we spent some time observing the small interior and watching college football highlights on the television. Once the food and drinks arrived, we began eating. I was particularly impressed with the Louisiana Rub boneless wings; the flavor was so addictive it almost felt like eating candy. Since the restaurant has only been open for a few weeks, the facility still looks pristine. My only complaint was that our table seemed off-kilter, causing it to wobble consistently. Despite this, the staff was excellent and the food was superb. I highly recommend downloading the app and ordering ahead of time to avoid the congestion of the waiting area.

After two attempts to dine at the new chicken spot in the block in Roanoke, Virginia since its…read moreGrand Opening, with waiting times of over an hour long both times, I began to believe that there must be something of truth behind their slogan of "bringing bold favor to every bite." And today, I finally got to try it out for lunch, after making plans to be there at ten in the morning just as they were opening. I'm talking about the new Chicken Wings restaurant locally-owned and operated by Kevin Edwards, Wingstop. Located at the Southwest Plaza Shopping Center on Electric Road (next to Jersey Mike's), this casual counter-serve chain specializing in cooked-to-order wings (classic or boneless) with over 11 iconic flavors, as well as chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches, with sides of their hand-cut, seasoned fries, and other signature sides such as their Cajun Fried Corn and their Buffalo Ranch Fries. From the moment I entered the restaurant I felt the warm southern hospitality from the ladies behind the counter and also from the manager and assistant manager who welcomed me wholeheartedly, while I waited for my order to be freshly prepared. The place was clean and well lit with only around five small tables. Even though most of their orders were To-go, all of their tables seemed to also be always full. The backlit menus high above behind the counter were very well organized and easy to understand. I particularly liked their chart of sauces from Heat (Atomic) to no Heat (Hawaiian), illustrated with a colorful line from red, yellow, to green. I ordered their 5pc Crispy Tender Combo with their Hickory Smoked BBQ flavor sauce, a regular size side of their seasoned fries, and a regular 20oz beverage. Then after hearing of their Cajun Fried Corn, I had to try one also. As I watched into their open kitchen, I was very impressed with the teamwork and positive attitude from all their crew members. The manager did an excellent job keeping everything moving and bringing out the order bags to the Pick-Up counter. The assistant manager, a friendly and dynamic lady with a wonderful personality was also on top of things all the time. I filled my paper cup with ice and Coke from their softdrink machine and placed it at the table in the back to hold my place. They have an electric chart on the side wall of the ordering counter that keeps you informed of the status of your order. When my order was ready, the manager handed it to me in person inside a bag and I took it to my table. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality of their food. The Chicken Tenders were huge in size, with very tender and moist chicken and covered with the tasty Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce. The fries were just the right thickness, very well seasoned, and served hot, right out of the frier and bowl where they were seasoned. And the corn was amazing. Small pieces of corn on the cob full of flavor. Even the Iced Coke tasted wonderful on this hot and sunny day. In conclusion I highly recommend that you drive down here and make a stkp at this Chicken Wing new restaurant. I can assure you, after you try their food and experience their service, you'll be coming back for more.

I personally enjoy this place its right next door to my work employees and staff are niceread more

This was my very first time dining here, but after successfully purchasing a beautiful 2022 Lexus…read moreES 350 at Brambleton Imports, I sort of have developed an interest in many of the businesses located on Brambleton Ave. 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 Brambleton Deli in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. So today, I decided to have dinner here and try it out. Arriving a little before six, their front parking lot was already full. Luckily the parking lot continues around the side.of their building and into the back where it turns into an even larger parking lot. After parking my car in a safe spot, I walked to the front of the restaurant and entered through the front door after passing by their outdoor dining patio. There was already a long line of customers waiting to be seated. But with patience the friendly hostess got to me and brought me to one of the booths of the place. My friendly server Kelty soon arrived to greet me and take my order. To drink I ordered a Sweet Ice Tea. As an appetizer I wanted to have their Mini Corn Dogs but they were so many for one person that the server suggested I have the Kids Mini Corn Dog as appetizer and I did. For my main course I had their Pork Barbecue Platter, with Pit Cooked Pork, Cole Slaw and Onion Rings as side items. The 6 mini corn dogs were delicious, crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, and having them made the wait shorter. The BBQ sauce came on the side. While the food was cooking my server came by to check on.me and give me a refill of Sweet Ice Tea. I asked her about where the bar was and she told me on the other side.of the restaurant and that some nights they have live music there. I figured if it was so crowded today on those nights it must really be crowded. By this time the food was ready and brought to my booth. The Pork was fresh and juicy, and after I spread the BBQ sauce over it, it was even better, the Onion Rings and Cole Slaw were also very good. And the Reese's Peanut Butter Pie was outstanding. After I paid the bill, I went for a walk to see the bar and the area where they play live music some nights. On the other side of the restaurant and next to the bar, this other dining area is more elegant and stylist in part for the quality of the furniture and lighting treatment. Can't wait to come again some night with a group of friends to listen to the live music. I definitely recommend this place as somewhere to go and spend some quality time in a relaxed environment, with good food at reasonable prices and to top it off live entertainment.

When my friend and I carpooled from Rocky Mount to Roanoke on a Sunday morning in March 2026, we…read moredecided to look around the Tanglewood Mall area for dining options. We initially decided on Chili's, which was next door to this particular Popeyes location. My friend wanted Chilis, but my stomach was craving some fried chicken for a Sunday feast. When we were about 1/2 way done at Chilis, I looked out the window towards Popeyes and saw an opportunity. I only had a chocolate cake and a single order of a strawberry margarita. I still can do actual lunch, my stomach and brain agreeably says to me. And so, I confirmed the address of the Popeyes next door to the Chilis and put in a large mobile order. I did a family meal dinner and a special 3 piece chicken for $5, along with a medium drink. I thought that I could eat it all, because it was just chicken, right? I was wrong. Totally wrong. After leaving Chilis, my friend waited for me while I walked over to Popeyes to pick up my order. I had to wait 20 minutes because they were frying me up a new batch of chicken to satisfy my order. I ended up splitting my Popeyes order into 3 different meals. Lunch that day, dinner 5 hours later, and then the leftovers for the next morning's breakfast. I spent about $37, but split for 3 meals, it's pretty reasonable. It was worth the time and cost, since I didn't have to go anywhere after my friend dropped me off at the hotel nearby for the night. For the most part though, the experience here at this Popeyes Tanglewood Roanoke was good and fun. It was nice that I had a fresh batch of chicken waiting for me, but waiting for 20 minutes kind of sucked a little bit. If you're in the Tanglewood Mall of Roanoke Virginia and craving fried chicken from Popeyes, you know the deal. Come on over, they'd love to have you. The overall experience at this specific Popeyes location was typical and friendly, but the 20 minute wait was a temporary thing. Thankfully, I was on vacation at the time. The restaurant itself was practically empty since it was middle of the day on a Sunday in March 2026, when I was there waiting and eventually picking up my large order. Weather was alright and not raining. The dining area was clean and immaculate. I guess if nobody is dining in, minimal cleaning is involved, if at all. During my experience here, I got to watch the Staff filling orders and talking to their other staff about what to do and what orders where still left to fill. All this in 20 minutes and I finally receive my order. I sat on a nearby table while my friend waited with me. It was nice smelling the aroma of the fried chicken from the kitchen. It made me hungry while waiting for my order. The restaurant was clean and they had restrooms on site for its customers. The staff that alerted me to the wait time was nice and friendly. She also said that it'll be just a bit more. And after 20 minutes of waiting, I finally got my order and I was ready to go to town with my order. The chicken was good and delicious. I enjoy Popeyes over the other guys because it is seasoned and spicy versus just regular fried chicken. If you love fried chicken and love Popeyes, consider this location if you're in the Tanglewood Mall area of Roanoke, Virginia. This Popeyes location is situated in the busy area of Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke Virginia. It's physically located at 4304 Electric Road, Roanoke. They accept major credit cards and cash. They also accept mobile orders as well, which uses credit cards as well. The ambiance of the dining area was nice and quiet. I thought about dining in that day, but I'd have to walk to the Holiday Inn hotel nearby afterwards. Didn't want to do that lol. As far as parking goes, there is generous parking options next to the restaurant. Best bet is to get here early to avoid the crowds. 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. Fried chicken from Popeyes can delight just about anyone these days, myself included. While it's not the healthiest thing you can eat, it's there for you when you need it. Recommended if you enjoy having Popeyes fried chicken. If you're in the Roanoke area and love to get your fried chicken fix, come on over and they'll be glad to see you. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. The 20 minutes wait didn't matter that much. Just had to write it in for accuracy. Support local! A+
