The River and Rail is a small establishment so I'd recommend making a reservation no matter the size of the party or the day. The food comes out fairly quick, the menu is concentrated while still offering a large variety of options. The cocktail
Great cozy restaurant with excellent cocktails and food.
The clockwork cocktail was amazing. Also liked the chicken entree. Bartenders provided excellent service.
This is a high end restaurant with unique flavors.

Cocktails food service all good. Ambience also really pleasant. A go to when in Roanoke.
This restaurant is in a class by itself.
If you read my first review after dining there for the very first time you will clearly understand why. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing

3 couples and all of our meals (fishmonger pork chop and hanger steaks) were delicious. the skillet cornbread is amazing. Service was perfect and the atmosphere with the visible tiny kitchen is entertaining if you get the right table.
I really had a great date night at river and rail.
I made a reservation just in case and I'm glad I did. The drinks there were amazing and our waiter was very nice as well. The food that I ordered which included the fried oyster kimchi lettuce wrap was delicious! The vibe of the restaurant was

A dining experience!
The River and Rail in Roanoke is truly a dining experience. From the specialty cocktails to the variety of menu options finished off with the unique and flavorful desserts - we loved it! Fortunately, or unfortunately, I have a "selective"
Very good!
Visited for our birthday dinner and it was amazing! We had to make reservations and I can see why. The restaurant is not very spacious. It has a more personal feel as you can see the chefs preparing the meal. Our waitress was attentive and friendly.
Stop in, it’s great!
Was in Roanoke for some hiking. Came in after a long hike and ate an early dinner at the bar. Had the seasonal pork chop which is a large portion and cooked to perfection. Also had the shoulda coulda woulda mocktail….soooo yummy! Probably could

This is a good restaurant. Excellent ambiance, service, cocktails, and very good food. Chicken liver mousse was very good, as well as the oyster wraps. Others at the table enjoyed their crab, lobster, and pork chops. It's moderately expen

Excellent dinner!! My husband had the cheeseburger and he said it was the best one he's ever had. I ordered the hanger steak and it was so tender and flavorful. The service was top notch as well. We'll definitely be returning.
First time here.
This place was AWESOME. The food was incredible. Ordered oysters, ox tail, salad and dessert. 10/10!!! Every time I come back to Roanoke, I'm coming back to this place.
Best in town !!
We were a large party and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this creative and tasty restaurant. Away from the downtown hustle so parking right in front is easy and seemed much safer than downtown too. We had a variety of items, basical
LOVE this place for a cocktail at the bar or a nice date
LOVE this place for a cocktail at the bar or a nice date night. Intimate feel with such class.
This place is a gem in SWVA.
Not too many high end restaurants in this neck of the woods. I've been twice but because I've been living in Los Angeles for the last 25 years I've lacked opportunity. This latest time I had the Duck and my brother ordered the Ossobuco. Both deliciou
River & Rail has long been one of the premier restaurants
River & Rail has long been one of the premier restaurants in Roanoke and Southwest. The staff is fantastic. The food is always changing and very unique and delicious. Everyone there is top notch. A great date night. You won't be disappointed!
smooth and satisfying experience
This is a great place to have a meal! The dishes were inventive and well executed, the service was as efficient as could be expected, and everyone was friendly. We were a party of 8, and everything that comes with dealing with a larger group was han
This is a lovely gem of a restaurant.
My husband and I really enjoyed our meal. The menu is limited, the kitchen is open and very small. Reservations are hard to get. And it's "slow food" so don't be expecting your meal to come out fast. But this was some of the best food and w
My husband and I stopped here while driving through Roanoke.
The staff, service and food was perfect! If I lived closer I would definitely eat here all the time. Very friendly atmosphere and no wait for drinks, appetizers and food.
Close to the hotel gem
I read some of the reviews of this place. What a cool place to eat. The view of the kitchen and bar and friendliness of the staff are inviting. Wait until the food and drinks come out…..over the top! A recommended stop anytime in Roanoke, Va

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The River and Rail Restaurant Roanoke at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The River and Rail Restaurant Roanoke page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The River and Rail Restaurant Roanoke to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The River and Rail Restaurant Roanoke!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
