Between work, taking care of the kids, and extracurricular activities, sometimes preparing a homemade meal is just out of the question. You want something that everyone can enjoy, and you may not have the time or the appetite to wait on a home-cooked meal to be made or to make it yourself. That’s why Shakers, The Roanoker Restaurant, Local Roots, and Jack Browns are now offering fast and convenient curbside pick-up.
Shakers
Established in 1986, Shakers is prominently known as one of the best casual American restaurants in Roanoke. The excellent dining experience draws in business from students to business people to families. With a wide array of menu items to choose from like steak, chicken, rice, pasta, and fish, it’s easy to see why Shakers has become a staple in the community.
The Roanoker Restaurant
Founded by three friends on July 1st, 1941, Crafton Warren and his business partners started this restaurant with only $600. After WWII broke out, the partners were called to different areas, but Crafton and his wife continued the restaurant and cooked meals to support troops on long train journeys. Today, The Roanoker Restaurant still offers homemade buttermilk biscuits, pies, vegetables, meatloaf, and other soul food delights.
