That’s what you’re craving when your really craving a good good good cheesesteak. Holy cow they’ve got the best cheesesteak in Roanoke. I’ve tried a few other places around town that supposedly specialize in cheesesteaks but now I’ll never buy a cheesesteak from anywhere but Lews again. My Hunt for my “cheesesteak place” is over. Lees will be receiving all my cheesesteak business for as long as I live in Roanoke, and they’re in business. I’ll take all my friends from out of town here as well, so that they can see what makes Roanoke better than any other city on earth, Lews. Thank

Did not fix our food as we asked them to we ordered takeout got there and three subs $39. The subs were not that big, Way overpriced for a place that looks like a hole in the wall. We will not return.

Waitress was very friendly and sweet. This was nothing like we saw online, and after we ordered, we were asked to leave because we had a 6 pound puppy in a kennel. Quoted health codes. While literally no one had masks on. 🙄. Also, after wolfing down my pastrami sandwich I specifically asked for no sauerkraut, because cabbage makes me ill, I realized it was mixed in with them pastrami. It's a sports bar. We were hoping for family dining. This wasn't it.

Service was good. Outdoor dining was appreciated. But the spaghetti pasta was overcooked and wasn't drained enough before adding the sauce, making it watery. Wife ordered a medium rare hamburger which was well done.

We visit this location often and both the food and service are great. Just an FYI for online & carryout orders: be there on time for pickup! Your food will sit on the counter getting cold if you're late. This is beyond their control as they don't have a warming lamp.

This is kind of a seedy, hole in the wall kind of place. Didn't seem very clean. Went here tonight on 7/3/2021. The server she was very nice and outgoing. The crew behind the counter were too busy socializing. The food was bland. The guy cooking (has curly hair) was goofing off and clearly laughing at and making fun of customers.

Excellent bar restaurant. Parking is limited next to the building but there is a good amount of street parking at this location. They have a bar with several beers on tap and some in cans and bottles. There is a good amount of seating in the restaurant but the bar seating is closed for Covid-19 protocols. There is a all outdoor seating area between the building and the sidewalk with umbrellas. The food was made to order but still was reasonably quick. The waitress checked on us frequently enough to take care of the table but not so much that we were bothered. The food was good without complaints

Get the Philly Steak burger or Philly Steak sub, with extra cheese! Their beer-battered fries are great!
The onion rings were ok. Not amazing. I also highly recommend the tomato basil soup!!!
The atmosphere isn't bad for a bar setting at all. We saw several families with kids. The waiters and waitresses were very nice and down to earth.
Seriously... Philly Cheese steak!
EDIT 01182020 the Full Monty which is their double burger is (grilled to medium per request) amazing. The perfect amount of tomato, and cheese on a well toasted bun. I could not finish the one pound burger!
They have deep fried

A great place to grab good food at a good price. If you aren't sure what to order, ask Brian. He will take good care of you. But trust me, add the onion rings. And get something and dip it in their in-house ranch dressing. So, so good.

Drinks came very quick. Menu full of decisions. Buffalo wings were hot, big, saucy an' flavorful. 14" thin crust pizza (large) was very good. Service was adequate. Beer an' ice water were cold an' plentiful. All in all a good, if not spectacular choice. A bit pricey, but who isn't these days

Went a couple of weeks ago with my partner for dinner. We went to the Walnut Avenue location in Old SW. Everything was delicious and we will definitely go again.

Service: atrocious, rude, condescending

6 tables were full. 2 tables came after us. 9 total tables. We got our food last. 45 minutes. Appetizer came after me. Server said "that happens sometimes" and walks away. She made an excuse about being busy. They were not busy. Server blamed me for not remembering the name of my burger and made multiple snide comments.

Food quality: we were served burned burgers that were somehow cold.

When I left, I was greeted in the parking lot by 4 employees on a smoke break. Par for the course I guess?

Verdict: should have gotten McDonald's

Nice place close to the highway. So many options under $10! I ordered their Avacado Burger. Cut into it and it was cooked throughout, nice medium and not dry. Onion rings were crispy and the sweet tea was solid. Only comment: the burger was bland. I sprinkled salt on it and it made a WORLD of difference. Overall a nice, solid place to eat.

We were looking for a nice place to eat not far away from I 81 N and found this cosy restaurant. Just 5 min drive from highway. The burgers were really delicious and side dishes were big enough.
