Heard about 611 from a friend. Was gonna be in Roanoke for the day so made plans to eat here. When I pulled into the parking lot I saw the sign said “hiring smiling faces”. That’s catchy I thought. It’s Sunday at 5:40. The parking lot is packed and people are standing all over waiting to get in. We go to the hostess stand, give our number and are told, “it won’t be too too long”. We figure what the heck, let’s give it 30 minutes. 5 minutes later we’re being shown to a table. So far so good. A minute later our waitress Kayla appears. And she had the biggest most genuine smile I’ve seen from a waitress in a very long time! And I eat out ALOT! Guess the sign was right. They hired at least one smiling face. Service was impeccable and the food was plentiful and very tasty. We all know this isn’t a 5 star restaurant but it offers delicious food and extreme value. I would go back a lot more if I didn’t live 40 miles away. But rest assured when I’m in Roanoke I’ll be eating here again! 5 stars!

611 Steakhouse is your typical steakhouse with salad buffet reminiscent of the ones that began to disappear in the early 2000’s. The food is good and the service has always been friendly. Some of the items on the salad buffet tend to sit out a little longer than need to be, so just be aware of that, especially lettuce and pastries.

First time ever eating here and the food was amazing the atmosphere was great everyone was pleasant and nice. I would recommend trying this place out if you are ever in the area of Roanoke Virginia they have all kinds of food you can choose from we will definitely stop by again when ever we are in the area again. Try it at least one time.

Warm and friendly service by Nicole, complimentary warm, Hawaiian-style bread and creamy butter, plenty of seating, a salad bar that including tacos, potatoes, desserts (and salad)! The salad bar alone would be enough to satisfy guests, but the steak was also cooked to order with 2 additional sides. The steak was good, and cooked as ordered, but although was not at the fancy-pants-steak-house level. Wow, if you like to eat, this is the place for you. Don’t expect cloth napkins or uppity servers, but you will leave full.

We had the best experience here the other day. If you go, we HIGHLY recommend you ask for Ms. Ashley!!! She had the best attitude & got things for us without asking & prompt service. She was so nice & sweet!! It made our experience enjoyable.

ALWAYS a great time @ 611! Whether it be dine in or take out, my expectations are always met and/or exceeded! Super friendly & attentive staff, THE BEST food, fantastic location, and all around great/enjoyable atmosphere. Restaurant and bathrooms always clean. Buffet always fully stocked & bursting with flavor & immaculate variety. Additionally, it doesn’t matter where you sit in here, there is TONS of fascinating & historical trains & items to look at around the restaurant! This has been my son’s favorite place to eat since he was old enough to say it! Even kids of ALL ages have great time!

The food was good. I wish they would have mashed potatoes again. I am vegetarian, and I can only eat certain things, but their salad bar is amazing. Son loves the steak, chicken tenders, and hamburger. Ice cream is great and the waitress we had last time was amazing and funny.

Our server tonight was friendly and our orders were delicious. I particularly enjoy the buffet, though I wish they offered more options like black olives. In terms of COVID safety measures, customers are required to wear disposable gloves that are provided at the buffet when getting food. However, none of the servers were wearing masks tonight, and the tables are too close for social distancing norms. I would feel more comfortable if the tables were spread out more.

This must stop if you will be in Roanoke. Just like during the Steam locomotive days Roanoke was a must stop destination. The atmosphere will take you back to those days. The food is good. The salad bar and the other bars are top notch. The wait and kitchen staff are quick and dependable.
