Fodor's Expert Review The Roanoker

Fried chicken isn't on the menu every day, but when it is, the smell entices you from the parking lot. This local gathering place has been serving homestyle fare since 1941, from pancakes and chicken salad sandwiches to blue-plate specials. The choice between corn sticks, biscuits, or wheat rolls can be a tough one, but listen to the locals and go for the famous biscuits.
