Default Restaurants in Roanoke

Where is a really nice place to take a date in Roanoke? I'm talking a quiet, baller place. Like really nice.

Chuck E. Cheese is among the favorites.

Depending on the atmosphere you could also give the library or kabuki a try. Kabuki may be a bit more entertaining then you are longing for though.

If you're looking for baller place, then try the Library. You'll need to dress up like hell just to get in the door, and there are no prices on the menu, but its pretty baller.

A more fun place to go is the fork in the alley, they have pretty awesome pizza and a more college type atmosphere.

I second Fork in the Alley. Tis' the shit.

The Library is alright but I have much better. There really isn't a 100% true "baller" place around here.

It doesn't have to be REAL baller. Just really nice. So we have the Library... Anywhere else? I have been to Kabuki's and Montanos... Both nice but not what I am looking for. Someone mentioned Carlos'?

You bastard. I was going to suggest that!

I ate there last week. Or maybe it was the week before..

I used to really enjoy the Ye Ole English Inn but they have closed down and sold..... Miss that place! Always extremely quiet, dim, and relatively low key. Great steaks, and relatively well priced in terms of "expensive restaurants."

The Library was pretty cool....

Frankie Rowlands downtown.. Good food! Four Nineteen West on Franklin.. So so, but I like the atmosphere. Uhh.. Hotel Roanoke, but I'm not really a fan..

You also have Metro downtown. I've never ate there, but I heard it was pretty cool.

........ummm...............................

Carlos...

I'll keep updating when I think of more places.


OOH, by the way... the new Mexican restaurant at the mall looks SICK! I can't wait to check the inside of that place out! Seriously. What a sick looking place. Looks like a nice club or something from the outside! haha

Abuelos or however it is spelled at the mall is alright for mexican food. It's a nice place on the inside but the food is alright. Not great and not bad. I went there yesterday and was not that impressed with the food. The inside is pretty cool though. Not first date material though in my book.

I thought it was supposed to be classy Mexican? Heh.... Nevermind. I just thought about what I said.

I hadn't heard anything about it other than the fact that it was supposed to be nice, but haven't heard anything since they opened. What did you get, if you don't mind my asking sweet cheeks?

What else are they opening over there? Lots of new buildings from the looks of it.
