The Great 611 Steak Company

Parking lot was nearly full. Plenty of shape on the inside. Don't that a full lots keep you from trying this place.
The steak was very good.
The salad/potato/taco/dessert bar is very nice. I have not seen a slad bar this big since we'll before lock downs.
Service was friendly and fast.

The great 611 train memorabilia was a sight to see especially the wall mural. Nice atmosphere, moderate prices, but the food was below average.

A surprisingly great place to eat near the mall! Fresh rolls are served as soon as you sit down, our waitress was super friendly and seemed to enjoy being there. It's a quaint place with plenty of Roanoke memorabilia inside, good for tourists or just lovers of the city. Food is just right, the BBQ ribs are the best I've had in a while! There's even soft-serve ice cream cones at the buffet bar. Just remember that food from the buffet can't be takeout, just the entrees. You won't regret a visit!

My favorite place to eat in Roanoke because they have a model train running around the interior. Kids of all ages will like. Salad bar is good, maybe could use a few more selections, I don't know. It just doesn't seem like it has a lot. Nacho/Taco bar, salad, and other prepared salads with a dessert bar. I can't put my finger on what's missing so I'm not going to downgrade a star.

All kinds of cool train decor on a restaurant centered around a restored locomotive that sometimes calls Roanoke home.

The food was great! My fiance ordered the 1lb sirloin and I had the 9oz. The price for his with the buffet was like $25 so it was a great deal. The place was packed (Friday night) and we had a large party, and there were several other large parties so there was a bit of a wait so we got our money's worth on the buffet. They had spaghetti and tacos and a baked potato bar, soups, salad and dessert. I appreciate that they provide gloves to use at the buffet. Overall our meal was very good and we are looking forward to coming back. The rolls put the roadhouse to shame!!

Always know what you're getting when you come to 611. Tonight - the food was well prepared and well stocked on the lines. Wasn't too crowded for a Thurs dinner which was surprising but that's hit and miss week to week.

I loved every minute of this restaurant. The food, drinks atmosphere and the employees were awesome! You can tell the employees enjoy their jobs and did a great job serving. Will be back!😁. Shout out to Penny and Chicken Liver man.

Had a late lunch with family. We had a rough day already so we wanted something easy. Our server was stellar and cute as a button. I can't remember his name but he had dark brown Bieber hair. :) The food was good and had enough bar items. I was able to make a meal and fill up on just the bar. Reasonably priced. Nothin' fancy but sometimes that's just right👍Good job 611! 👏

We were a group of 18 and the waitress was awesome handling that large of a group. The food was excellent (Rib eye/Grilled shrimp)and the price was great for this type of restaurant. I would highly recommend

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.

Super busy night but the service and food were top notch!

Great steak and a good salad bar. They looked super busy but the service was still very good. The flavor of the steaks is just solid here and also it is an incredible value. I highly recommend this place!

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 is my favorite place to eat. The food is so good and service was excellent. Those yeast rolls are addictive 😋😛😋

I haven't been here in years and was super excited when we went for my friends son's birthday (staff didn't know, he didn't want the happy birthday song lol young adults). Get to the host stand, little fella had his back turned towards the door and leaning against the podium. No problem, guessing long night, after all it was right at 7pm 🙄, they close at nine this said night. Finally get seated. Wait staff was busy, we get it, we work in the industry as well. Took her a bit to get to us for at least the drink order but by this time we all know what we want, no biggie. She gets to us, takes drink and food order, you know we got the bar too, fabulous as always, food fresh, cold is cold and hot is hot. But what WE DIDN'T KNOW IS THE BLUE GLOVE THINGY!!! We had No Idea because our wait staff didn't tell us and we aren't that observant. So we sit after our round to the bar and was shocked by this, would have used one if we knew and Nope we didn't Pay Attention either 🤷‍♀. Second round we covered. As our food came to us it was Not our waitress but another, no biggie, others run food all the time BUT she's the only one to ask us if we needed anything. Our waitress never came back to our table. Another staff member got us more rolls as well, you know you can't have one basket and that's it. However we observed her sweeping her section and doing her side work, again were in the industry and know what she's doing. We understand that this is part of her work too and we whole heartily understand that but customer service is first and foremost. Neglecting your tables isn't customer service and when your table has to flag you don't to check out because this said neglect is horrible customer service. We still tipped her 30% as we understand what she does for a living. Most wouldn't have tipped her at all being the service we had gotten. We'll eat there again though.

Awesome hybrid buffet, where you can order an entree and side, salad bar, or combination of both entree/salad bar option--with an add-on tater option. The salad bar menu is wothy of a meal on its own.

Beautifully themed for the 611 train.

Biggest shout for Michael. Excellent service and personality. Always around and ready. Definitely a reason to return.

This is a frequent and favorite place to eat in our family. Steaks are usually cooked perfectly. The 'salad' bar has great variety. It's affordable, consistent quality and pleasant.

Met a family member and was impressed and surprised to see a big crowd. Didn't have to wait to long and it's always worth it !!

Great staff and friendly server !!

You wouldn't know there is a supply chain problem and nothing ran out !!! Not even the rice krispies treats !!!

Can't wait to come again !!

First time visit for me tonight. This is a VERY well ran establishment. The food and service was OUTSTANDING. You can't go wrong here for a good, quick bite to eat.

I had the 14oz Ribeye special that came with a baked potato and salad bar for $19.99. The salad bar was FULL and FRESH and the steak was cooked PERFECT. I come to Roanoke often for business. This will definitely be a regular stop for me from now on!

Edit:

Returned this past week and this place remains GREAT! Keep it up!

Fresh Bread and honey butter are worth the visit alone. Food is great, salad bar is huge and prices are reasonable. But bring your appetite because portions are big
