Old Stan looks like he’s wanting some payback for the black eye that Chick-Fil-A gave him in Salem huh?

I would like to see a Noodles & Company Restaurant move into the Roanoke area. Has anyone eaten at the Noodles & Company? If,so what do you think of this restaurant?

Not a fan of PF Changs or Macaroni Grill. A new diner opened on 122 near the lake. Hope’s Diner. The old AJs/Marcellas. Good food at great prices. Burger and fries $5. Dinner entrees $7. Two lightly battered fried catfish filets, fairly large house salad with homemade dressing, baked potato = $7. Crazy. They say everything is made in house. Two visits and so far, so good.

@RP – I believe that Pei Wei is a owned by same people that own PF Changs. Pei Wei is like a smaller and faster PF Changs that has the same quality of food. A lot more casual as well. It would do great here.

Never heard of Pei Wei, but I’d love a P.F. Chang’s

For those asking about Cracker Barrel, I spoke with Philip Thompson, Deputy Director of Planning for Roanoke County. He said he’s not aware of any plans for a Cracker Barrel in Roanoke County. I’m still waiting to hear back from the South Peak developers. (And Chris, Thompson said he’s heard nothing on Bonefish. Sorry!)

@Susan: I’ve heard that Chipotle is looking for a second Roanoke location, but that’s all I know.

Is Chipotle expanding in Roanoke with a second location? Also Christiansburg, Lynchburg, and Radford are on the short list of this fine establishment.

Thanks Amanda. I’ve always thought that South Peak could bring in something a little better than Cracker Barrell i.e. Pei Wei, Macaroni Grill, etc.

P.S. I also hail from the Buckeye state too, but am not a “Buckeye”. Go Blue
