Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Marion – 2024

Driving through Marion and found this delightful diner. Good food at great prices and friendly service! What more could you ask for!

Wow !!!!! Seriously what a gem. VERY clean. Folks here are soooo nice and friendly. My breakfast, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy were ALL fantastic. For real folks !! Treat yourselves !!! it’s like a two minute detour off I-81 and Unbelievably delicious.

Your classic country store. They can get pretty busy at times. The food is well prepared, and the service is friendly and typically delivered with a smile. Under new ownership for those who knew it as Littles. The burgers are still just as good.

We celebrated our son’s birthdays here last night and the staff was amazing. They really made it fun and special and Melba especially was great with her whipped cream application. Thank you everyone for accommodating oir large party.

Stopped for lunch driving through heading to the west coast. What a pleasant surprise! The food was absolutely delicious, some of the best outside of Mexico! Who would have thought you would find such a gem in Southern VA! My wife had Lunch special #10. The enchilada sauce was so tasty with just a hint of cinnamon. I had the Burrito Grande from the Lunch menu. The cheese sauce was so yummy! Please stop and have a bite if you're in the area, you will not be disappointed if you love authentic Mexican food! And a plus is it's very reasonable.

Wonderful stop! Everything was excellent! As a large family... Stops can be tricky sometimes... But they didn't bat at eye at our party of 7. We were seated quickly. Service was efficient.. Food was great. Staff was friendly. Price was affordable. Absolutely would go back!

The parts I didn’t like-they are minor things. There was a loud hum in the lady’s restroom. Sounds like it’s coming from the ceiling although there wasn’t a light over the stall so I’m not sure. Upon arrival around 2 pm on a Monday, there were 6 tables that had not been cleaned. I saw a couple of workers on break outside, perhaps they took a break after a lunch rush?? The good-AMAZING SERVER! They have an extensive menu: subs, pizza, hamburgers, calzone, pasta, wings and more. They have crushed ice in the drinks. I know, this is silly but for some reason, drinks taste better to me with crushed ice. The service was really friendly. There are many televisions in the restaurant. They have a bar big enough to fit 10 people or more. The restaurant itself has high ceilings which always makes a place feel extra roomy. I love that. I also love that they have closed captioning on the televisions. And they have a roll of paper towels and all of the condiments already on the table which helps the workers so much. The crinkle fries were good. They have a good seasoning on them but they need more. So much more seasoning because it’s good. The beef topped pizza was also good. The dough is a little sweet but I ate every bit of it. The cheese was plentiful. To me, the homemade chips were wonderful. They weren’t greasy or salty. The club sandwich’s bread was out of this world fresh and good. The sandwich was a little thin to me. I would have appreciated another slice of meat but the sandwich as a whole was good. The cheese was melted and tasty. The food was a little expensive but I guess everything is since 2020. Side note-the ice cream and fudge across the street at Hester’s Country Store is AMAZING! makes for a nice dessert after eating here.

I ordered the Juilene Salad large..very disappointing in size..the table next to me ordered a house salad and it was triple in size compared to what I was served...the sweet tea was so weak you could see through it..1st time here..and I shall not return unless the salad presentation becomes better...and the sweet tea needs more flavor..this restaurant came highly recommended to me..so I took the 45 minute drive to try it out on a Friday evening..

We shared a calzone here. We both thought it was delicious. Excellent marinara and ranch! Our server was super friendly and made the meal even better. Located directly on main street near shopping and Lincoln Theater. They also have live music.

I orders a super supreme pizza and when it was delivered it was still doughy and the veggies were raw I asked the waitress about it who said she would have to get the cook the cook came to my table after 5 maybe 7 minutes with an attitude I asked her about it to which she says I wasn’t being charged for it I asked could she take it and Cook it longer to which she said she could but would have to charge me for it I explained I had already been there waiting for 45 minutes she didn’t even care she never apologized for their mistakes when i went to pay the bill the same cook was there to take payment she was rude and yelled the total at me when I asked her for the ticket she got even more rude to which my sister tells her she didn’t have to be so rude that is when she started yelling at us to get out of the store this lady claimed to be a cook a manager all while wearing skull skin tight leggings and no Pizza Hut uniform or attire at all at one point she even stated she wasn't even on the clock I was calm And never yelled at this lady once I would request of Pizza Hut wants more business to get rid of this lady!

Always q hit. Best tasting even if sometimes te service isn't the best

Time machine Pizza Hut. We passed through and stopped here for a bite. Food and service was excellent, brought me back to when Pizza Hut was at its peak. Now most locations are carry out only and zero pride in the product. The pizza and breadsticks were amazing. Service was very good. Restaurant was nice and clean.

Burger was wet. It taste like it was dropped in dishwater. Fries double cooked. Wife and sons burgers room temp. Cold tots. Manager should be ashamed. Parking lot is a absolute wreck and dirty. Where did pride in ones job go?

September 2022 stopped at this Sonic Drive in on the way back home for a quick snack. Good location off the road. Got out of vehicle and sat outside. Lady worker very nice. Sonic has a large variety of milkshakes, slushie drinks, & good hamburgers, hot dogs, or chicken tenders. I ordered corndog, mozerella cheese sticks, & an "ocean water" to drink. The ocean water drink you can only get at Sonic. It's a mix of Sprite, coconut extract, blue food coloring, & water. I love it. So good. This Sonic is 5 stars in my opinion.

Stopped to get the wife some motivational fuel for her little tiny self because dang it I love that girl more than oxygen. I'm trying to thicken her up a little because, well... I like thick. She just wanted to get a sandwich because she never eats much at once and she decided on the new stack burger. It was splendid according to her. The girl at the drive thru was friendly and funny. We had a quick but enjoyable visit and I'll be returning.

Stopped here on our way home from The Smoky Mountains as it was only a few minutes off the highway. Took advantage of the great low 70s weather and ate outside from the bar area. The bartender was our waiter and was very personable and knew the menu like he knew his name. Gave suggestions of his favorites and the most popular. We ordered the Big Daddy (overloaded steak and cheese), Julius Caesar (chicken parm with mozzarella logs as the parm) and the Barnyard (fried chicken sandwich with cheese, LTO, and fried egg). We couldn't believe how much you get for what you pay. We each only ate half our sandwiches and half of the sides so dinner later. You can tell the food is made fresh. The fried chicken had the perfect crisp, the sliced steak was cooked so well it reminded us of a burger and the mozzarella logs are made in house. Would definitely recommend and come again if our travels bring us through.

Randy was our server and she was great. Food came out fast, hot and very tasty. Portions are more than ample for our appetite. Prices are reasonable. We are passing through town and will definitely come back when we are in the area.

I’m a certified cook so I know a thing or two about food preparation. Went in ordered a turkey Reuben with fries. It came out. It had cold turkey, sauerkraut on rye bread. I sent it back because it was missing Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. They remade it. This time with so much meat it was disgusting! The waitress was aweful. She brought out a refill drink right after taking our order which tells me she is lazy and won’t be back and I was right. I’ll never eat at this location again. Completely disgusted and I did pay for my meal.

From out of town and drove by several times and it was steady slammed. So I looked up the reviews. Definitely where we were going. Y'all. We got SO MUCH FOOD for SUCH a reasonable price. Like I cannot believe it. And *everything* was delicious. Housemade ranch. Fries, someone tell me how you got them so crispy. And my child ate more at one sitting than she's ever eaten in her entire life. Crazy. I might come back to Marion just so I can come back and try the pizza It was that good.

The service was very friendly and I never had to wait for anything. Got the Italian sub and some fries, very good! Will have to actually try the pizza next!

Here it's all about the food. The place looks like a run-down repurposed building from the 50's. The parking lot is a pothole mess with loose gravel and no real parking design. The lighting in the parking lot is poor. Then you step inside and it shows that most of the attention was focused here for the repurposing. There were plenty of clean tables and chairs and a large ordering/pickup window. We came at an extremely busy time, and there were about 7 people waiting to pick up orders. Our waitress was really nice and apologized for being super busy and stated that our order of an x-tra large pizza and 10 wings might take some time. It didn't. It was out and on the table in about 10 minutes. The pizza was super hot and fresh. It tasted amazing. Now I know why there were so many people here! The food is unbelievable! Then I tasted the wings. I felt like I was teleported to Buffalo. They were crispy with an amazing buffalo sauce. Even the ranch dip was great. We all know how the wrong ranch dip can ruin your pizza and wings. Great experience.

We visited on a Thursday evening in early November 2024. There was parking available on the street. We walked a block or so. The staff was super friendly and we did carry out. Took about 15 mins to prep all our food. The place was fairly busy and had many patrons at the bar as well. We ordered the Wooden Pickle Fries to share which were very good and a nice portion. We also order the Brewery Fries which were well seasoned and very good. We also got the Crab Dippers to share. They were also good. The mozzarella sticks we order for my youngest picky eater. I assume they were good as he ate them all. My wife ordered the Farm Burger and finished most of it but let our middle one have most. I didn't get a bite. My middle one ordered the Crabby Patty and did not like it. I had a couple bites and thought it was fine. Not sure why he didn't like it. My wife and oldest finished the rest of it. The oldest ordered the Confused Mac N' Cheese. I got a couple bites and 100% this was the best of all of them. I would go back just to get this one entree. The ghost cheese made it spicy and so yummy. On a whim we ordered the White-Chocolate Raspberry Bread pudding. While it was delicious we didn't realize how small the portion would be. It was a little disappointing (in size). Everyone got to try one little bite. For the price, probably wasn't worth it. We were staying at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion and if we were to stay in town again or even driving through on 81, we would definitely come back here again. Especially for that Confused Mac N' Cheese.

We enjoyed our lunch here. Cute, small place with great food. Friendly staff were helpful. Good menu with a wide variety of offerings. The Chicken Pesto Flatbread was great, as was the Caeser Salad. Downtown street parking can be crowded during peak hours.

Great spot! Great drink menu, awesome dinner menu. We had strawberry salad, caprese sandwich and turkey club.. fries were hot..sandwiches perfect size!

We were in the area and decided to try this place out for breakfast. The staff were polite and we really appreciated them special making an omelette to meet our needs. They brought out milk for my daughter. It was quiet on a weekday morning. So, definitely a great place for people looking for a quiet place to eat and relax.

Found this place on Google maps on motorcycle trip. Excellent service and delicious food. Lexington, our server was adorable and very friendly.

Food is great at breakfeast Edit: I feel like my review needs a revison. Casey's in my life is more than a diner, it is a lasting memory i will never forget. Casey's has been a diner i have at at with my grandparents dozens of times over the last decade and a half and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Ps: The food is great at all times of the day!

The fries were extremely fresh bc the lady that took our order cooked them for us to make sure they weren't soggy and cold. Another lady working there was wiping the tile down to ensure everything was clean before closing. Wonderful staff!!

I got robbed at the Arby's in Marion VA. I ordered and paid for 3 sandwiches, they gave me 2 with no receipt. When I looked in the bag and saw I was missing 1, I went back to the counter, asked for my missing sandwich - at which point they demanded the receipt they never gave me. Needless to say, there is no cure for stupidity. Save your time, sanity and money- eat somewhere else!

Everybody is always so nice here and the food always comes out consistently quick and consistently good!

Delicious food at a reasonable price. We enjoyed their dinner entrees and sushi to boot. Our 5 year old loved the chicken nuggets and fried rice combo. Highly recommend stopping for good food, excellent service, and unique decor in Marion!

Usually love this place, come here every time we’re in town. Our server tonight messed up an order and when corrected charged us for both items, after we finished eating nobody would bring us the check so we had to go to the front and eventually pay. A little frustrating but overall almost always a great experience. Try the crunchy roll it will not disappoint!

Awesome! Delicious food. Excellent service. Clean. Great atmosphere. Will be returning. Huge portions. We had hibachi chicken, $11.99. It came with soup and salad. Then, you pick 2 sides. I chose sweet carrots and fried rice. Come hungry.

The food is delectable, fresh, and homemade. The staff is courteous and friendly. There is a wonderful assortment of candles, clothing, and all sorts of gifts and decor available for purchase. It is certainly worth a visit.

Used to be a piggly wiggly but was eventually bought by a woman, who sold to her sisters but then kept part of the building for the other stuff you see being sold. It’s all family and it’s all local. The place takes great pride in the quality of their merchandise as well as their food. I went with the roast beef sandwich with the homemade potato salad - amazing melt in your mouth good. Service was great and the atmosphere was wonderful.

An unique cafe serving cafe( a very good espresso,that you would not find easy in US),food and deserts ,combined with hand made products. The food is amazing delicious,they offer special menus for lunch,the Rubin sandwich is must try.The staff is very friendly.

It’s just off I-81 (one of my least favorite roads in Virginia). That said, good grief was that a solid breakfast for lunch meal!! The service was prompt and polite. Food tasted like home cooking with a kick. (I could barely finish the breakfast plate and took the quesadilla on the road to make I-81 more tolerable). Looking forward to visiting again!

Great spot. Stopped for breakfast driving through NJ to AL. Can’t get sausage gravy like this where I come from! It was so good we stopped again on the way home.

Amazing; all of it. Perfect even: the staff was wonderful, the food was great, and it's vibe is so inviting. I really recommend it.

My first review of a fast food establishment!! I love places like Marion - you run into people like James who was behind the counter this afternoon. You won't find such folks in a "big city" like Roanoke Really this establishment is for locals, but go ahead and get off the interstate if you need a break and don't want to be complicated. It's "fast food", but they actually cooked everything we ordered while we waited, made an error, apologized and fixed it. Now my kid has a nuggets extravaganza! The folks here couldn't be nicer!!!

We stopped here passing thru hoping to get a "quick" bite to eat. The employees seemed like they were in a daze. Food took a long time to get out and when it did, one of the sandwiches was wrong. No bacon on the bacon cheeseburger. My husband took sandwich back to counter. Took 10 minutes for them to give him another one. No toilet paper in restroom. Good thing I had a tissue in my purse. Nothing like a "drip dry"! Don't go here if you want fast food, correct food and toilet paper in the restroom!

Absolutely terrible. We came for lunch. The only good thing I can say is that the fries were good and fresh, the rest of the food was subpar. They were out of Medium and Large lids out front and when I asked for lids for my daughter and I the lady at the front threw them on the counter with a huff. Another older woman who was in line right behind us had made a mobile order with salad, but they were out of salad. The lady working the front yelled at her, told her she had to cancel the order, and to figure it out herself. Eventually one of the other customers helped the older woman cancel her order in the app. They also lost the order for one of the people in our group, at which point those members of our group decided to leave for the nearby McDonalds. They were able to go there, order, and return to meet us in the parking lot before everyone who stayed received their food. I enjoy the Wendy's in my hometown but I strongly avoid anyone who wants good food or reasonable service to avoid this location at all costs.
