Shenandoah Restaurant

They frisked us stuck a gun wand over us and them asked for a 3 dollar cover charge to eat. Gotta watch out for those gangsters in roanoke.. Don’t go.

How did I end up here? I’m not completely sure. A friend and I were bored one day and decided to try this place since we both have passed by here numerous times but neither of us had the «cajones» to go in on our own.
We came in and sat at the one perpetually reserved table for a group of guys who I can only assume are Roanoke gangsters. That’s right, that’s how I roll… granted we kept looking over our shoulders and were eventually reassured by the waitress that they weren’t coming. Though, I did order the chicken salad platter that was named after one of them. It was a pretty decent chicken salad platter. Not bad. My friend ordered a chili cheeseburger with no bun that he thoroughly enjoyed.
This place is a good greasy spoon diner with everything from breakfast to standard diner dinner fare. They also serve alcohol. We were warned that this place gets pretty rough at night, although no one has died there in at least 5 years.
Service was excellent. This is one of those places that has character… and maybe an occasional stabbing. I’d go back… probably not at night.
