Restaurants near George Washington National Forest

Billy’s is always consistent in quality. Our waiter was great but the wrong appetizers were brought to our table and that server just looked confused and almost knocked over my wine glass. We never received our bread service during the meal, which is usually included. It was Christmas Eve so they were busy and seemed to be handling things well.

Food was great - filet was cooked perfectly med rare, snapper was very flavorful, while lobster was fairly small, it was cooked to perfection. Service is always attentive. Best restaurant in Roanoke!

First time visiting the steakhouse. I had heard quite a bit about it and the experience did not disappoint. Be prepared to foot a large bill but for a special occasion it was worth it. The food was delicious. I ordered the Australian lamb chops medium rare and they were splendid. My wife had a filet that came out with a nice crust and a cool rare center. Just as she asked for. Our server was on point. Exactly what I expected from a restaurant of this caliber. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and like a ghost. We were never interrupted however all our needs were met seemingly out of nowhere. Just how I like my servers to be. Honestly, the food is a bit overpriced but I was paying for an overall experience and was not disappointed. I will definitely return for another special occasion.

Overall Lucky is a GEM! We visited on the Monday before Christmas. While many restaurants were closed - because it was Monday, leadership at Lucky made the wise decision to be open. It was a busy night in downtown Roanoke and the restaurant was pretty full as a result. To my thinking it also gave the employees a chance to make some good Christmas tips. I suspect that the restaurants that were closed will be also be closed Tuesday and Wednesday as well because of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day respectively. That leaves the employees with 3 days with no pay or tips. Good job Lucky! With respect to food and service: The food and drink menus are inventive and inspiring. I was impressed by the quality, taste and presentation of the food. I think the prices are a smidge high but the quality, SERVICE, and ambiance certainly make up for it. Based on our one visit, I will say that Lucky seems to be a GEM in the Roanoke restaurant scene.

Delicious as always! One of our favorite date night or couples dinner spots!
