One of our favorite Restaurant's around Roanoke is The Homeplace Restaurant. We've had our GWRRA District Rally in Roanoke for several years and this is the one place we take a group each year. You select whether you want 2 or 3 meats and they bring everything including all sides to the table and keep bringing bowls until you are done. It is an old farmhouse made into a restaurant and is out of town a ways. Really nice ride to it and back through the hills approximately 13 miles from the hotel. 4968 Catawba Valley Dr Catawba, Virginia Phone: (540) 384-7252 Here is their link if you use facebook they do not have a regular website: https://www.facebook.com/The-Homeplace-Restaurant-115564841808913/Dan & Trish |

We really like the Olde Liberty Station Restaurant in Bedford, VA. This is 35 miles from the hotel and has a Railroad theme. http://www.oldelibertystation.com/515 Bedford Ave, Bedford, VA 24523 540-587-9377 Write up from there web page Great Food in Downtown Bedford While the newly restored station house has a rich and colorful background, its present-day use as a full service restaurant showcases the history of the building and of the Bedford, Virginia area. Our menu of delicious American fare, created with the best ingredients available, will satisfy the appetite of travelers and locals alike. Best of all, our guests can complete their meal with a slice of Harry's Famous Cheesecake - in any of our tempting flavors that will leave you wanting more! Dan & Trish |

Restaurant we would go to for breakfast, but serves good good all day, is called The Swinging Bridge Restaurant, we just call it The Paint Bank. Its 40-50 miles from the hotel through the mountains depending on your route. Good food, nice old fashion store and a great ride.
16071 Paint Bank Rd
Paint Bank, Virginia 24131
(540) 897-5099
Intro from their web page:
Welcome to The Swinging Bridge Restaurant!
WITHIN THE PAINT BANK GENERAL STORE
Celebrating over 10 years of bringing you homestyle good cookin’ with a Southern gourmet flare. What! You haven’t tried us yet? Our unique dining experience is well worth the drive over the mountains and through the woods.
The Swinging Bridge offers a cozy setting in front of a raging fire (seasonal, of course!), with décor that reflects the beauty and splendor of nature, brought indoors. Sit down, relax, and have something good to eat!
Our Menu features a variety of buffalo dishes, as well as delicious, mouth-watering BBQ ribs and chicken, perfectly prepared on our own locomotive smoker. For the traditionalists, we have Sunday Dinner - Pan Fried Chicken - and many other family favorites, like our Blue Plate Specials (Fridays) and Prime Rib Saturdays.
When the weather is fine, you can dine on our screened-in back porch that overlooks historic [Tingler’s Mill]. The Big Wheel’s turnin’ and the mill is open for visitors. If there is a short wait for your table, enjoy some outdoor game time with horseshoes or corn hole, and work up your appetite!
On most Thursday nights during High Season, local musicians play great country and bluegrass music for your entertainment. After your meal, go upstairs to stroll across our real swinging bridge, check out our wildlife display and visit the Paint Bank General Store & Gift Shop.
Dan & Trish

About 5 miles... And the wise words of Lyle Lovett come to mind - Never eat Mexican food East of the Mississippi or North of Dallas... |

I was really looking forward to eating at The Homeplace Restaurant while in Roanoke but not going to happen. We arrive Sunday for the early meet & greet cookout and will be leaving on Wednesday.  Homeplace closes at 6pm on Sundays and doesn't open again until Thursday.  Son of a gun! Thanks for the list Dan  |

Yes we have always gone on a Thursday or Friday. One time in the fall we made the mistake of going on a Saturday afternoon and did not realize it was just after the Virginia Tech football game had completed. We ended up with a 2 hour wait.

Hey rnfwp! If you're in Greenville, the best shawarma place I know of is The Pita House on 291 across from Greenville Tech... packed every day! Chicken Shawarma Over Hummus is the plate I get, it has a cucumber and tomato salad on it that they call tahini salad that is the best stuff in the universe. -Mike |

The falafels, hummus, kabobs and homemade lemonade are also good. oh, don't forget the deserts in the counter. Ross |
