Yum Yum! I went here because the locals said I had to experience the fish and chips here. What they didn't tell me was that it's not just your traditional white fish and chips, there are three (or more .. I forget) types of fish you can get with your fish, you can also get several other seafood options. So I had to try the oysters and chips and I was not disappointed. The oysters were delicious! I thought that frying them would make them rubbery, by they were still melt in your mouth fresh.
If there is one complaint I could come up with it'd be that the chips weren't the best I've ever had, but I was there for the fish part anyway.
If you're in town you must not miss this place.

I went here for breakfast and had to order the sourdough pancakes because that's not something we seem to have near us. The first time I had them they were homemade over on this coast and this time they were pretty close to just as tasty! This is your basic diner-type restaurant with an extensive breakfast menu. My pancakes were very good and the service was prompt and friendly. I would gladly return for breakfast again.

I went here tonight because a local recommended the place. She had been there four times and was very pleased with everything.
I think I went on a bad night and they were so nice that I want to give a better review, but I can't. I arrived after the server and the owner had left, so two chefs had to do everything. They were very nice and very helpful, but the food was just okay and the soup was kinda lukewarm.
I thought I'd try the stuffed halibut, but it wasn't' actually stuffed, it was a filet with stuffing slapped on top. I'm thinking I might have had a better experience if I tried one of the sandwiches or fried options, but I wanted some fresh seafood (since the water is right there). The fish was fresh and tasty, the "stuffing" was not terribly good.
Overall a bit of a disappointment for me.

I went here tonight and was not disappointed. I should note that there was only one other table filled when I went to dinner so I did not have a problem with service as other people have noted. I was seated prompty, order taken and food arrived all in a timely fashion.
I ordered a soup, green tea, appetizer and two rolls. It was all delicious. The Kaki Shooters were amazing! I love oysters and the added sauce and spice made these oysters so much better - if I knew they were so good I would have ordered 12 of them and not the rolls - they were that good! The rolls were also tasty, but not terribly innovative. Everything tasted fresh and I may just have to go back again to get me more of those oysters if nothing else.

We went here yesterday and sat outside because it was so pretty out. The service was friendly and the environment great (like I said it was very nice outside). We ordered an appetizer and a bison burger. The shrimp appetizer was very fresh and flavorful! The burger wasn't cooked quite the way we asked it to be, but was also very tasty and fresh. Overall a great lunch and we will return.
We went here for brunch on Sunday and it was great. Our server was friendly and attentive, the brunch buffet was so big I actually missed an entire room where the signature peanut soup was hiding. After having a full plate of breakfast I had to go back there and try the soup .. and I'm so happy I did. Finally I finished off my brunch with a chocolate peanut butter cupcake that was pure decadence! I would highly recommend visiting Hotel Roanoke for the Sunday brunch.
I went here last night and was very impressed! I was greeted and seated by a friendly server. I ordered an oyster appetizer that was fresh and tasty and then for the highlight of the night ... the scallops and grits! It was amazing! Scallops are one of those things I always worry about ordering because it's not always cooked right, but these melted in my mouth and had an amazing golden sear on them. The grits (not being a southern girl with much to compare to) were also very delicious. If I wasn't so stuffed from dinner I would have tried a desert just because dinner was so amazing I can only imagine that it would have been perfect.

Went here tonight because I saw it while driving to dinner and just had to have frozen yogurt! The parking lot is a bit tiny and hard to navigate, but inside is full of yummy yogurt and toppings I had three flavors with a bunch of toppings like fruit and cookie dough. Everything was tasty and the price was great compared to places I've been in other states. Worth stopping in for dessert if you're in the area.
We went here tonight because of John L's review and it was well worth it! This is a tiny little place with 4 tables and a counter ... always the kind of place you find the most delicious food. We ordered and were served in less than ten minutes. The service was friendly and prompt. The food delicious and fresh! We will return.
