“Went here with my dad after the car show, the food was outstanding. Rotisserie chicken for me was the best I've tasted, very aromatic and juicy, chocolate cake was phenomenal. Please try this place, our waiter Chase was very attentive and took great care of us.”
“We came on a Sunday. Was not to busy, our plates came fast and the food was great. Cookie skillet was Fantastic!!!”
“Excellent service at the bar! The steak Cobb salad was excellent and you must order the fries!”
“Roanoke in Chicago is an absolute win from start to finish, especially if you appreciate great food, great service, and the perfect atmosphere. The double patty burger is the star of the show: juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with rich, savory flavor in every bite. It’s indulgent in the best way and easily one of those burgers you’ll be thinking about long after the plate is cleared. The experience is elevated even more by the awesome service from Isaiah at the bar. Attentive, personable, and genuinely engaging, he made the visit feel relaxed and welcoming while keeping everything running smoothly. It’s the kind of service that makes you want to stay for just one more drink. Add in the wonderful moody vibes, lighting, warm tones, and a polished yet cozy feel, and Roanoke becomes the perfect spot for a laid-back night out or a casual date. If you’re in Chicago and craving an excellent burger with top-tier bar service, Roanoke is a must-visit.”
“This was my first time at this restaurant, and I had a great experience. The place is super nice, clean, and very spacious. We had a lunch reservation, but it wasn’t very busy at the time, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. Our server, Jorge, was excellent—very friendly and helpful, and he made some great recommendations. I ordered the protein salad, and it was amazing. The portions are very generous, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and size of the meals. One thing to note is that the restrooms are located on the second floor in the hotel area, but overall it didn’t take away from the experience. I’d definitely recommend this place and would come back again.”
“Only had drinks in the Marriott.. on the second Floor..Very chill spot and low key..Bartender was cool and it was not busy on a Sunday night.”
“Went here for a pre-show dinner with the family. I was here previously. Both occasions were very similar the food is very good and the wait staff is experienced and knowledgeable. I would return.”
“Got the lamb hummus and the green circle rotisserie chicken with a group of three. Lamb hummus was definitely better than expected. The green circle rotisserie chicken was good, not great. I'll give them credit - the chicken was juicy and not dry. Truffle mashed potatoes and and the veggies were solid, but the carrots weren't that tender. Drinks were solid. Got the French alexander and the espresso martini. Roanoke is right behind my work. Overall, this place is much better than I expected.”
“The food was disappointing. We ordered a cheeseburger that was very plain and a salad that didn’t taste good. The waiter also had an attitude from the beginning, which affected the experience. We expected more based on the reviews.”
“Excellent service! Everyone was welcoming and attentive. I’ll definitely be back.”
“An impressive dining experience with incredible flavors from start to finish. The rotisserie chicken stood out as one of the best I’ve had, with a wonderful aroma and tender, juicy texture. The pita hummus starter was fresh and satisfying, while the chocolate cake was a rich and delicious finale. The busy atmosphere added to the excitement and showed how much people enjoy this place. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food.”
