“ This place was great for Thursday (or Friday) lunch - awesome food and great-priced beer! Must really be jumpin on the weekends. Worth the stop, worth a trip! ”
“ Excellent food. Truly excellent. Homemade pizza is worth the wait. Fried jalapeños, Mac n cheese bites delicious. Everything the tabled ordered was delicious. Service was attentive and decent. Family friendly. It's be nice if there were more restrooms-but if that's your only complaint about a place you're in a great place. We're not from the area-and this was probably the first time I've visited Lanark in 30 years. This place is a gem and a reason to come back! ”
“ First off, Robert V is a knucklehead. He obviously had one too many drinks. I'm sure he was just mad because his wife had to take him home before he made a fool of himself. The food at the Crooked Roof is fantastic! The drink selection is huge and the musical talent comes from near and far. I love the Wassup burger and fries. The pizza is delicious (great sauce and sausage). I've had the baby back ribs a few times and they were sooo good. I know of a few beef farmers in the area that really love the steaks there. I still haven't tried them 'cause I really love their burgers and I'm a creature of habit. Which reminds me, the blue crumbled cheese burgers are also amazing! You might want to call ahead to make sure they have room, because they can fill up pretty quick on a nice day. By the way, Hokie F, wraps are for people who say they are on a diet, but don't want to eat like they are on a diet. There is and never will be anything fancy about a wrap. ”
“ Great food, pricing and staff. Highly recommend! Eat there everyone we're in town. Ribs and steak are great, all you can eat fish fry on fridays! ”
“ You can always count on being happy here! Great vibes, good food, live music, great service. Whenever we are in the area we stop here for a burger and a beer or two. Put this on your list! ”
