Wasena City Tap Room & Grill - Roanoke

Very friendly and packed with family and kids. I ordered a Hard wood grilled chicken burrito which was very good. Black beans, rice, chicken hint of lime. And an order of Angry fries which is cut fries, jalapeño bits, pimento cheese with a side of habanero dipping sauce ( Shhh! was not really hot at all). All in all it was good food, great service, good price and great atmosphere.

Good beer selection, great Sunday brunch, nice patio that is dog friendly, near the Roanoke greenway so great place for a beer or drink after a walk/run/bike ride. Great service.

I read a majority of the reviews before we came to eat here. Most people said the food was either great, mediocre or too expensive and the service was awful. My boyfriend got the buffalo chicken pizza and we thought it was pretty good. I got the fish tacos...not so great. My fish was tough and I didn't care for it. My beer was awesome! I got the one that attracts gnomes and makes friends envious! It was a little pricey but hit the spot. As far as the service...not over the top customer service but when we started conversation with out server he spoke back. He as actually kind of funny when he started talking too. The real question is would we go back? ...and the answer is Yes! See you next time :)

I decided to wing it and give this place a try this week. The vibe was that of a typical micro pub. Standing room only at 7:00 pm.  waited only about 15 minutes for a table though. The staff was pleasant and not pushy as I looked it over carefully.  I started with the appetizer of shrimp. These were spot on! 6 big juicy ones that had some house made beer batter. The dipping sauces were very good but possible I could have done without it as the batter was so good. The shrimp was done just right golden brown with no heavy areas that were too dark. I moved along to the entrée of pork tacos. The tacos were served on soft taco shells and stuffed with smoked pork. The inside was also layered with lettuce and tomato. The sauce along side was the same as with the shrimp. Sweet and almost reminded me of shrimp sauce at some Asian restaurants. The meat was very well done and juicy . The entrée typically come with beans and rice but I switched to sweet potato fries for the slight upcharge. The sauce then became my ketchup and I was set! Quite nice for a date night.  Will be back at some point in the future.
