Hollywood's Restaurant & Bakery
Reviews
I go to tech and whenever my parents come to visit I make them take me here. Excellent food. My favorite place to eat near school. Amazing fried fish and fried green tomatoes.
Hollywood is everything you want a diner to be. A large menu usually isn't a good sign of a quality restaurant but we had no complaints. My grilled salmon salad didn't only look really good, it was also fresh, tasty and a good serving size. Hubby's cheeseburger was cooked perfect and very tasty, with a side of perfectly cooked real French fries. Service was phenomenal, fast and friendly (our glasses of soda were never empty). It is a few miles away from I81 exit but you get off one exit and get on the next, very easy. Loved this place!
Have always enjoyed the company of Mark and Chris (The Owners) and absolutely love the food. Catfish Matrimony is to DIE FOR. Happy to provide them with Google Maps Business View. Check out their virtual tour!
My wife and I are locals. We visited the restaurant for the first time since moving into the area, and after hearing so many positive testimonials we were unpleasantly surprised. While my food was very good, my wife's was not. She ordered one of the most expensive items on the menu-- the Ribeye-- and she ordered it medium well. Despite it, the first steak she received was still cool and bright red in the center. We sent it back, and a few moments later we had what seemed to be the same steak in exactly the same condition. We sent it back again. This time, the waiter returned a newly cooked steak and explained that the first was oddly cut. Upon cutting into it, the steak did appear to be a little more done on one half, and the other half was just as undercooked as the first. Another lady -- the manager, I believe -- checked in shortly afterward at which point we explained that the steak was still not what my ordered but that she'd eat it. The lady seemed satisfied with this, and it was the last we heard from her. We were, of course, a little dejected by the apathy. We are not the kind of people who like to complain without very good reason, and after sending the steak back twice we were skeptical that anything would get fixed anyway. After dinner, a few people from our table ordered desserts. We were given our checks after placing those orders, none of which reflected the dessert orders, and we had to inquire twice with two different people just to straighten it out, and by then it was almost like we were inconveniencing them by trying to buy additional food. After the issue with my wife's steak, we were both unimpressed. We will not likely return or recommend to anyone else.
I eat there every time I come to Roanoke. The food is consistently good & the service is friendly.
