Texas Tavern<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roanoke, Virginia<\/p>\n

One of the stops on my Arts and Festival Tour was Roanoke, Virginia. They knew how to put on a festival, complete with great entertainment. Since the festival was just blocks away from the Texas Tavern, which we had heard about, we just had to check it out.<\/p>\n

The nostalgia of it all was more than I could hope for.\u00a0 The diner was established in 1930.\u00a0 They claim that it seats 10,000 people (10 at a time).\u00a0 Famous for their Chili, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and Cheesy Westerns. I noticed, while sitting at the counter, even the metal pipe that you rest your feet on, had been completely worn through to the middle.<\/p>\n

By the readers of the Roanoke Magazine, Texas Tavern was voted the best for: Chili, Hot Dogs, Local Hamburger and Late-Night Diner.\u00a0 If you’re ever in Roanoke, stop downtown at 114 Church Ave.\u00a0 They are open 24 hours, 7 days a week.\u00a0You will be glad you did!<\/p>\n

Other Roanoke, Virginia places I have painted are:\u00a0 The Roanoke Weiner Stand;\u00a0 Agnew Seed Store and Billy\u2019s Ritz.<\/p>\n
