Mel`s Place in Roanoke

Best crab cakes you've ever had! The food was seasoned perfectly! The staff was very friendly and efficient!!! Can't wait to go back!

The food was very good. My wife had the seven cheese macaroni and I had the triple b burger (bacon, blue cheese and blueberries). It was fabulous. The taste combination is very good and the burger itself was good. Tasted like high quality beef.

Nice service staff and enjoyable outdoor dining; however, my food was terrible. A simple burger order of cooked medium was rock hard, dry, petrified well done. Not very palatable but I ate it because I was very hungry after going 10 hours without food. The service was slow and food took a long time to get to the table. I’m not sure I will be back:(

Real cozy place, fairly new. It will be interesting what they have planned for the future.

BEWARE of new management. We came in after seeing happy hour advertising on Facebook, and were informed that they no longer honor those specials. We ordered food to go anyways, and the quality (especially the pizza) is a fraction of what it used to be. The new manager appears very entitled and will surely turn what was an extremely successful neighborhood restaurant into something that won't last. I am very disappointed at what this place is about to become - Food Fanatics has lost 3 regular customers, much like the 4 that walked out before us.

Nice food, nice staff, great overall experience.

Friendly and fast service. Responsible outdoor seating. I recommend the triple B burger!

Would not deliver to me because I live to far out. I live 3 minutes away. They must not need business. I’m sure another local business will happily take my money.

Excellent food, prices, and service. We will definitely be back when we return to Roanoke.

We ordered three small pizzas and split them in our group and each one was amazing!!! Each time you took a first bite of one, it became your new favorite!

Food, service and price This place has such unique flavors. Bravo.

Delish! Fresh! Yum! Wish they had draft beer.

FABULOUS! Get the best nachos in the Roanoke valley right here! Sorry other places, but these nachos are delicious! Amazing pizza! We also tried the Ratatouille. Delish! Superb quality and excellent service in a fun, casual atmosphere. Very reasonably priced also. A fabulous addition to Roanoke. It's our new favorite restaurant!

Absolutely off the hook ! a complete unexpected suprise , every thing we tried was perfection .. all fresh all, home made prices were extremely reasonable and the service was excellent . easy parking , great cozy place where you can bring the family or get together with friends , this will be your meet up for dinner place . Will return soon ! P.s ..if its busy and you do have to wait a few minutes ... its worth it ..trust me. have a drink and relax while they get your food , take the time to converse with the person you came with ! .. a real roanoke gem or the place woudnt stay packed . A++

Yum and the family that owns this are great!

Nice atmosphere and service. Reasonably priced and good choices of food. Would like to go again 😊

Under new Management as of a week or so ago. Great food & fast, friendly service.

Absolutely my favorite restaurant ever!! The owner is so nice.. He knows what drink I order (captain Morgan and coke) Everyone is nice and friendly. Had my birthday party there and it was amazing.. Great food, great drinks, great service and Brian is the best waiter there (but there are no bad ones) Best pasta outside if Italy.. And the pork on pork is great! Pizza is awesome too!! My only complaint is they arent open later on weekends!!! Love this place 13 out of 10

Great presentation, beautiful restaurant, but the food lacked seasoning.

Neighborhood local restaurant. Great food, burgers and pizza. Seafood bisque is very good and rich

The triple B burger is the best I've had in a long time. Bacon, blueberries, and blue cheese. Excellent. The bacon wrapped pork belly is good as well.

Fabulous ... Will be back

Wonderful dish. Blackened pork loin with pineapple chutney.

Wonderful food! All dishes in our party were wonderful, perfectly prepared. Service is excellent. A little too many stations on the different screens for me... over simulating a bit. But decor, vibe is very nice. Wonderful date spot.

Awesome environment, very clean, excellent customer service . Food more than perfect, highly recommended!!!!!

Good happy hour. Very busy, but you could tell that the staff love their jobs. Good service.

Service was great. Pizza was good.

Really good food ..fast service reasonable price....do again for sure

We are from out of state and stumbled upon this place. The atmosphere is so cute and the food is absolutely amazing! The prices are reasonable and the portions are great. Highly recommend and I’ll be back again before we leave town!

This is one of the most exciting restaurants that we have tried in our area in a long time! The menu isn't overwhelming but a large variety. It's like an exotic twist on American dishes. Pizza is very good. Fresh ingredients and good balance of the toppings. Their idea of a large is not a pizza place large and is priced accordingly. The Indian pizza menu is not too far out in unusual flavors for those that might not be an adventuresome foodie person.

We were here for Valentine's Day and tried its prix-fixe menu. Everything we had was delicious. The Bacon on Bacon and crab cakes appetizers were phenomenal. The lobster ravioli and steak were pretty darn good, although the steak could have been seasoned more. Loved the desserts - macarons, chocolate mousse, and chocolate-dipped strawberries! My absolute favorite though was my drink - blueberry basil martini. ❤️ I can't wait to go back!

Really delicious food. Had the chicken tikka pizza and it was awesome. Order the large, it was the perfect amount for an average adult. Wait staff is a bit lacking, waited the whole time for a water refill and never got one. This is probably since it is a new restaurant, and I imagine it will get better with time.

Everything was incredible. From the wings, to the burgers, to the pizza, and the dessert. My wife and I loved everything. Staff was friendly and service was quick. We will definitely be back!!!!

Begin with a cold drink of your choice, excellent selection of tasty beverages to choose from. An order of Bacon on Bacon appetizer, and once your vision clears from your eyes rolling into the back of your head, try a superb pizza selection from the extensive menu of possible combinations and favorites listed on the menu. We ordered the Meat lovers on gluten free crust ( thank you very much!) . Outstanding. Finish with the Flourless Chocolate Tart. Strong black coffee completes a magnificent dining experience for two in Downtown Roanoke. Five stars.

Great food, cooked well...I highly recommend checking this spot out! Their menu is huge so there is something for everyone. I had the jerked pork chop which was flavorful and cooked very well. I also had the Bacon Marmalade pizza and it was out of bounds. They should bottle and sell that marmalade. I will be revisiting.Only con was not being given a steak knife with my bone in chop. Not like it was hammered or anything, but using essentially a butter knife is not conducive to a bone in piece of protein.

Great service! Tim is wonderful! Great food & prices!

Great before and after concert stop. Jefferson within walking distance even on a cold rainy day!Food was great, service outstanding (worthy of good tip), will return!

Lamb Tangier was very good as well as the lemon tart. David was an excellent server.

Nice dining room. Friendly staff. Food is good.Ordered the woodfired pizza. Nice crust and flavorful toppings.

Tried the Indian fusion eggplant pizza, the bacon on bacon, and the flourless chocolate cake. Everything was so delicious! The service was great too, will definitely be coming back!

Best fettuccine alfredo I have ever had. It was extremely creamy and thick and the garlic bread that went with it was just tasty!

This place is hidden in the southwest neighborhood of Roanoke Virginia right behind the Kirk's YMCA yes. The food was awesome the crab bisque soup was out of this world. I also had the cheeseburger and chicken wings they were wonderful.

Went for Restaurant Week 2020 - Bacon on bacon was delicious - we had the garlic roll ups and they were good! Very friendly and helpful staff - atmosphere is great! Will be back for sure.

Purchased several pizzas last night for carryout. The menu online fails to tell you that they are flatbread style. Had the menu properly described, we would have gone elsewhere. Minimal toppings on flatbread. They advertise as a wood fired pizza kitchen. One of the pizzas was a straightforward pepperoni, hard to screw up. I've had better out of the box from grocery store. This is a big " nope" for me. $$ for several joke pizzas. I never take the time for reviews and don't want to harm anyone's business during this point in time, but this was just that bad!

Great food and great service

Dinner was excellent and the weather was perfect to dine Alfresco. For appetizers my spouse and I shared the crab soup and the fried brussel sprouts with honey bacon dip, delicious. For dinner I ordered a crab cake sandwich and a Greek salad, both perfect my spouse had the hamburger and loved the french fries. We shared a piece of bourbon chocolate pecan pie and will probably not get that again. It was more chocolate than pecan a little disappointing ,still a great meal. Oh, can't forget, the service was excellent.

We tried a little bit of everything. Burger, pizza, wings, and dessert. Everything was INCREDIBLE. We will 100% be back. Can't wait to try everything else!

Six of us each had a different dish. Two different pizzas, crab cakes, swordfish, steak, pasta. All of us were very pleased. A couple of us have gluten free needs. The staff was very helpful in meeting those needs - gluten free pizza crust and pasta available. The staff was friendly. Dining area and bathrooms were clean. We are putting Food Fanatics on our "Must Frequent Regularly" list.

Lamb pizza was superb!
