Dove Creek Cafe

Tried this place after ten years on the ban list. Service is better though the hostess was MIA for about ten minutes while folks queued up at the front door. Food came quickly and looked ok, but was overly dry like it had sat on the corner of the griddle to stay warm for a while...strange because I was a table for one. Same with the English muffins, as they too were dried out and showed no signs of butter or having been on the griddle. The patrons consisted of confused, disappointed tourists and old-timers that had been ordering the same thing for fourty years. Bummer, because I live in Roanoke and love to support local businesses, but I'll go wait in the queue at Old West in Denton instead.

Amazing diner right off main street Roanoke. We weren't expecting much but boy were we surprised! Fantastic service and great food. Diner food is 'simple' so it has to be done right; and Dove Creek does it very well. Husband said the chicken fried steak was the best he's ever had and we are major foodies. Don't expect 'gourmet' brunch but if diner food is what you're looking for - check this spot out. Last but not least, the service was really awesome. Everyone was friendly and more than happy to help! We'll definitely be visiting again soon.

We have eaten here several times, lately. I've had the french toast and omelets, and both are delicious. My partner always gets the chicken-fried steak, and says it's really good. Coffee is hot and strong; bacon is crispy; everything has always tasted good. My only complaint is that this is a "seat yourself" place, and that means sometimes you have to wait a while for a server to notice you and come over; I really don't like that. I would rather be seated so I know the server has been informed we are there (well, they should be, if they're not). The place is always packed, but sometimes service is rather slow due to this and due to a shortage of servers (or so it appears, anyway). Overall, a really good breakfast place. I also ordered one of their burgers delivered one time, and it was tasty as well, but other than that, I can't speak to their lunch menu. We'll be back, for sure. 🙂

We decided to go to Dove Creek Café for lunch after visiting with our daughter and her family. This is a lovely traditional café serving breakfast and lunch. The prices are very reasonable and you get plenty food with your order. Husband had chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. That chicken fried steak was huge. He almost finished it. I order the cheeseburger and fries with a side of chili for my burger. Everything was very good and I ended up bringing half home as there was just so much I could not finish it. I really wanted to try their desserts as my husband said they were always good. I just didn't have any room left for any. Our waitress was Josie and she was very sweet and attentive. While we were there for lunch the place was packed. Yet everyone seemed to be getting all the good service you would hope for. I expect that we will be going again. My husband has been there many times as he used to work nearby. This was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing service and amazing food. I pulled into the parking lot to turn around and decided to stop and grab a bite, best decision I've made all week. The ladies working were super friendly and quick, when I asked for a reccomendation I got a quick response as well as a new dish that I've never seen anywhere else. ( biscuits and gravy with chicken and eggs on top ) The place has a very homey feel where anyone is welcome and I look forward to coming back.

My mother and I ordered a Togo order about a month or two ago and they informed us the estimated time that it would be ready. When we get up there I am barley acknowledged and I am waiting an extra 20 minutes to get my food. Once we head back home we get a call from the restaurant that they forgot some of our food so than we have to head back to pick up the rest of our food that is when a lady that works for the restaurant apologizes and says that she will put our name on a list to get 1 free meal. By the time we got home our food was cold. Well today I called in and I talked to weekend manager and she can not find my mothers name on the list for the 1 free meal that was promised and can not give any “discounts”. Just over all very poor customer service and that stinks because honestly the food is pretty good.
