    The GOAT Tavern in Roanoke has a solid neighborhood tavern vibe and is an easy place to stop in, especially if you're solo. I came by on a Saturday around 1pm, sat at the bar, and one thing I genuinely loved was that it wasn't packed at all. Plenty of seats were available, and the atmosphere felt relaxed instead of hectic. *WARNING* Parking here is going to be a pain, but it's nothing the restaurant/bar can do, just be aware if you are not local and are prepared to deal with it. The bar has a handful of on-tap options and your basic mixed drink choices, so it checks the box if you're just looking for a straightforward drink with your meal. If you're coming in to watch a game, you're covered, plenty of TVs are mounted throughout the place so you can catch whatever sports event is on. Food-wise, it was a mixed bag. I started with the bottlecaps as an appetizer, but they lacked breading and flavor. It felt like they were just cut and flash-fried. I ended up putting them on my burger since the sauce was forgotten, and honestly they worked better as a "fix" than as a standalone appetizer. Big bonus points too for fresh-cut jalapeños in the appetize For the main, I ordered their signature "GOAT Burger," and the burger itself had a great taste. You can tell the patties are hand-made, which is a big plus for this area and really should be the standard. So thank you for making a burger the way it should be!! A couple things kept this from being a higher rating, and they feel like things that can improve with time: kitchen speed and quality checks before food goes out. My order was simple, one burger, and the sauce somehow didn't make it onto the burger at all. On a named/signature burger, that sauce is part of the point. Overall, I'll be back to try them again as they get the groove going. The foundation is there, and with a little more consistency in the kitchen, this could easily move up a star.

    The GOAT Tavern opened last week and they have it dialed!!! I've been in three times already, yes, it's that good. I've had the gyro, the burger, and the wings, all delicious. The bartenders and waitstaff are super friendly and remembered my name when I came in the second time. Really made me feel welcome. They have all the games with their 15 TVs and the music is great! Highly recommend this spot!!

    This place rocks! Food was fresh and delicious! Kelly the bartender was super nice. Love the vibe and all the tv's. Also very clean.

    Love this new addition to Roanoke! Food was delicious and very fresh. Lots of tv's and great music in the background. Prices super reasonable and servers very friendly.

    Well, let me tell you...THIS place is really nice. Mother's Day, my daughter and I visited another establishment, first, for celebratory Bloody Mary's, and it was cringy and more like watching paint dry, out come out drinks, which were horrific... We left after 1, and on the way home, stopped by The Goat, more out of curiosity, needless to say, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Tiffany, the bartender, made awesome drinks, and had a wonderful personality! The establishment is new, nice, clean and inviting. We will be returning soon to check out the food, the bingo and the bands! 10/10

    Open face cheeseburger is in the secret menu

    Food is good. Solid 8.5/10 bar food which is what I was looking for. Onion rings are 11/10. My issue is with mgmt and online ordering. Online ordering is via Slice. Email and text alerts stated food would be ready bw 739-754. I arrived at 7:40. Food wasn't ready; no problem. At 7:54 noticed a message that came in moments earlier stating my order was ready at 7:51. About that time the manager asked if I've been helped. I showed him the message saying the order was ready. His response, "oh that's through Slice; it will be a few minutes." Then walked away. For a new restaurant trying to get a foothold in a competitive area, I at least expected an apology. The server I initially spoke to (who was great) told me the kitchen was backed up and just got my order. Food was ready by 8:04. I guess they were in a rush to get it out and left a bun off my burger. If you order takeout, you may want to call in vs order online. I'm chalking this up to new restaurant hiccups. The food is good enough to return. I'll update the review if they remedy online ordering.

    Tilapia special

    Ambiance was nice but music a little too loud. But maybe because we were sitting right under the speaker. Greek salad was nice. Fresh lettuce and just the right amount of dressing. My tilapia special had good simple taste. My only complaint is it was too small. Whenever I go out to dinner, I tend to have leftovers this time I was left feeling a little hungry still. Fries of my meal were very nice. Crispy n warm. They seem to have really nice lunch specials. I will try that next.

    Combo#3... the food was delicious and service (Kelly) was great!

    This the is the kind of place where you walk in planning to stay for one drink (unless you are here…read morefor a show) and somehow find yourself checking your watch three hours later wondering where the afternoon went. This is not a fancy, pinky-up establishment. Nobody is going to explain the emotional journey of the chef or tell you where the lettuce went to college. What you will find is cold beer, good food, plenty of TVs, and a room full of people who seem genuinely happy to be there. The atmosphere is exactly what a Texas sports bar should be: relaxed, welcoming, and just loud enough to be fun without requiring sign language to talk to your friends. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and nobody acted like bringing you food was a personal inconvenience. The food is solid comfort food. Nothing on the menu is trying to reinvent American cuisine, and thank goodness for that. Sometimes you just want a good meal, a cold drink, and a place to watch the game without someone serving a deconstructed cheeseburger on a roof shingle. The best compliment I can give is that this place feels authentic. It's a locals' spot that actually likes its customers. Four stars because there's always room for improvement, but if you're looking for a place to eat, drink, watch sports, and forget about your responsibilities for a little while, the Mule Barn gets the job done. Just don't blame them if "one quick stop" turns into the rest of your evening

    Nice staff. Good drinks. They bring in some decent acts. The problem is that the sound is…read moreabsolutely terrible.
