Food Fanatics Kitchen 551 Marshall Avenue Southwest, Roanoke, VA 24016

"We've eaten there a few times and it's ranged from empty to packed but service is always bad. We've had a different waiter each time and they always say it's their first day. I guess a lot of turnover. My wife has nut allergy and they had no desert available during restraunt week without nuts. And wouldn't sub. The kids cheese pizza had no cheese it was all sauce. My steak medallions were great."

"My original "glowing" praise review for this restaurant is from 4 years ago. We've eaten there many times since then. Recently though, it is obvious they have change hands. Our last visit a couple weeks ago was far okay to serve to someone. Sad to see another restaurant go down. 4 yewrs ago - Six of us each had a different dish. Two different pizzas, crab cakes, swordfish, steak, pasta. All of us were very pleased. A couple of us have gluten free needs. The staff was very helpful in meeting those needs - gluten free pizza crust and pasta available. The staff was friendly. Dining area and bathrooms were clean. We are putting Food Fanatics on our "Must Frequent Regularly" list."

"First time here and tried the breakfast on a Sunday. Saw they had curry chicken and waffles and decided to give it a shot with the curry on the side. I was disappointed to see it was just two chicken tenders and mini waffle pieces and not a belgian waffle that typically takes up most of the plate. My wife got bacon as a side and it wasn’t even cooked completely. Floppy, greasy bacon isn’t good. Service was really slow as well and they weren’t busy. $70 for 3 people was ridiculous."

"I decided to try this restaurant since I live in the area and hadn’t been before. The staff were respectful and nice. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed. And the burger had to be one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. Who ever decided to put pimento cheese on a burger had a great idea. I’d recommend trying this place at least once if you’re in the area. I’m sure I’ll return there."

"New stop for us. I googled best Chicken Ceasor Salad and Food Fanatics Kitchen was 10th on the list. I should have taken the hint then. We arrived and got the 1st booth as you entered. Our server did not come to our table for 10 minutes. We asked if they had BBQ Sand because they offered a BBQ pizza. Her answer was, and I quote, " We are an upscale establishment, and we don't have finger like food."....... ok..... Then she repeated the statement again with an ! That this is an upscale establishment. Ok..... she went to get our drinks. Another 10 minutes went by. Drinks arrived, and we ordered. Food arrived by another server but was not prepared as requested. I gave her back my chicken to get it cooked done. Chicken had no flavor at all. Then it happened..... could we get some more tea and water, please? We knew when she returned that this was an upscale joint. Just check the picture. Can you see it "PLASTIC CUPS"!. Yeah upscale. Waited on check. Paid with CC server brought back check, put it down, and walked away. No card.... my husband had to chase her down. She left it on a table. Great.... if you decide to go to this upscale restaurant, " Food Fanatics Kitchen"...... be aware I warned you. I posted our bill. The 5 pieces of chicken were $9.00 bucks. My ceasor was $19.00 plus..... also no coaster water everywhere from our glasses"
