I love Mom and Pop's style places. This place is off Williamson Rd in Roanoke and is your typical little "greasy spoon" type restaurant. It is a blast from the past for me. Upon entering I was quickly greeted by the lady behind the counter. She was super friendly. The menu consists of what I would expect from a"greasy spoon" type establishment. Burgers, sandwiches, chuckwagons, hot dogs, fries and even soft serve ice cream. I ordered the chicken sandwich combo. This came with the sandwich, large fry, and a large drink and was around $10.49 plus tax. My food came was cooked fresh and was served piping hot on a paper plate. This is a no frills type place with great small town greasy spoon food. I would definitely stop in again

This very informal local restaurant located on the side of the road at 4405 Williamson Road NW in Roanoke, Virginia has been there for years selling among other things fresh hamburgers and foot long hot dogs with french fries and onion rings at reasonable prices, as well as soft serve ice cream. The owner, who is a lady Korean immigrant has been been running the place for years and many of its customers have also been eating there for a long time sustaining the restaurant in good times as well as in bad time. The decor of the place is nothing fancy and not at all modern, but the space is very clean and the food served is fresh and done very well. They only accept cash as payment but there is an ATM machine nearby in case you need to get cash to pay for your order. I arrived about 4:30pm and there already several customers eating there and taking orders to go but I hear that as closer to lunch or dinner time it gets the more people fill the place up. There is not a formal paper menu. The menu items are listed on signs above and around the ordering counter. On the right of it is a counter with benches where people can have a seat to eat. And on the left side there is an area with tables and chairs where you can enjoy a good meal. Like everyone else, I ordered from the counter a bacon cheeseburger, a footlong hotdog with everything on it, and a side of onion rings. For dessert I had an ice cream sundae with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. When the food was read I was called to the ordering counter and given the items ordered to take to one of the tables in the dining area of the restaurant. I was very impressed by the quality and freshness of the ingredients of my order. The hamburger and hot dog buns were soft and fresh as well as the meat and ingredients added. While eating, I had an opportunity to chat with two older friends who were members of the Plantation Road Baptist Church. They were very friendly and had been going to eat there for years. I enjoyed the conversation with them while I was eating and this made for a pleasant dining experience. I would recommend this restaurant to all of you reading this review for when you feel like eating great fresh American food in a clean hometown environment, at reasonable prices.

3/27/24. Here for a second time. Again the burgers were fantastic....the best. Ordered the super burger, fries and drink combo. $10.49 plus tax. Burgers are huge and very moist but not greasy moist. Lettuce, maters, ketchup and mayo. Buns are soft. This is definitely our go-to burger joint. Beats all the others in town. You will leave stuffed. We drive across town to eat here. Others say the hot dogs are great too...next time!

I drove by and did a U-turn to come back, seeing the parking lot full of assuming the locals. That's a good indication of a great place to stop. Traditional hometown Burger bar. BLT was comforting! Older couple stopped just for soft serve ice cream cone. Sweet place.
