Mama Jean's in Roanoke, VA – Reviews, Hours, and Contact Details

Their restaurant under a beautiful blue sky with white clouds.

The menu on the wall, with the ordering counter on the right and bar on the left.

The line started here. Lucky I arrived early.

The customers lined up at the entrance of the restaurant.

The bar on the left and the ordering counter on the right.

The bar is very well filled up with a large variety of bottles of bourbon.
