Best Casual Restaurants in Roanoke

This is a hidden gem! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food is amazing. This is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or just stop in for a drink at the bar. Comfortable and Classic all at the same time! We will be back!

Overall Lucky is a GEM! We visited on the Monday before Christmas. While many restaurants were closed - because it was Monday, leadership at Lucky made the wise decision to be open. It was a busy night in downtown Roanoke and the restaurant was pretty full as a result. To my thinking it also gave the employees a chance to make some good Christmas tips. I suspect that the restaurants that were closed will be also be closed Tuesday and Wednesday as well because of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day respectively. That leaves the employees with 3 days with no pay or tips. Good job Lucky! With respect to food and service: The food and drink menus are inventive and inspiring. I was impressed by the quality, taste and presentation of the food. I think the prices are a smidge high but the quality, SERVICE, and ambiance certainly make up for it. Based on our one visit, I will say that Lucky seems to be a GEM in the Roanoke restaurant scene.

Beautifully decorated inside, staff was extremely pleasant. My overall frustration was not knowing that when we booked reservations for six people in the lounge that we would not be giving an actual table to seat at to eat.

Will go back but with a new understanding.

Service was good and server very attentive. Had salad with chicken and is was a good size meal. Other meals brought out to sourounding tables looked like generous portions
