Kristen,

I’m a little put off by Billy’s kitchen. I ate there a few times and it seems amazingly inconsistent except for using too much salt on everything. We have a glut of great dining options in Roanoke lately but Billy’s currently isn’t one of them in my humble opinion.

That being said, I love the physical space. I learned to drink in that bar when I was 18. You used to be able to sit in front and watch the prostitutes peddle their wares for prospective customers out on Salem Ave. I also remember a sign on the Market Building that said “No Spitting On The Sidewalk”. My, how the market has changed.

Kristen, yesterday was only the second time I’ve eaten there, but their pork BBQ sandwich on challah bread rocks. It comes with slaw and is delicious, as are their sweet potato fries. I tried the grilled teriyaki chicken yesterday and it was meh. It was okay, but wasn’t as good as I had hoped. I had grilled asparagus with it, it was also okay, but the best grilled asparagus I’ve had comes from Firefly Fare. They grill it to perfection and Billy’s just couldn’t compare.

LOL, pammala believes you can only be said to “accuse” if you use the word “accuse”. Sad.

Herb, having struggled to read your jabs for years now on The Round Table, I am more than sure that like your “boycotts” and other threats, you would “suit” me, the Roanoke Times, Dan, the RTEB or anyone else in a flaming second, if you could. Implied threats and insults are what you do. Go ahead and sue me so that the world will know the owner of your many archived posts. Please.

How was the food, Debbie? I’ve had various experiences and my friends have too. I really want it to survive if for no other reason than that outdoor area is so nice.

BTW I woke up in a great mood today. I took my mom to Billy’s restaurant for lunch today to celebrate her birthday. Great customer service there. When the waitress found out it was her b’day and that she loves lemon pie, she brought her a free slice of lemon cream pie. I just took a tiny bite of it, but it was delicious!

see how libbies spread stupid rumors? it only takes a small minded person to add its own opinion to what someone else says and makes it true…pity contra, but then it only confirms my suspicions.

I said RUMORS honey, which has nothing to do with me accusing someone, so sorry your comprehension skills are so messd up

Comment by pammala — January 12, 2013 @ 11:19 am

Your name was the only one Contra mentioned, so who exactly were you referring to in thiss comment, if not yourself? “see how libbies spread stupid rumors?”

My comprehension skills are just fine.

As for your other comment, I wasn’t dissing anyone for having a smart phone, I’m just saying if he is using a smart phone, it’s not living up to its name.

Get a sense of humor, pammala.
