The first Macado’s restaurant was opened in 1978 by Richard Macher in downtown Roanoke, Virginia. It soon became popular for its eclectic ambiance of cartoon, antique, and local nostalgic decor, as well as its wide array of hearty yet modestly-priced sandwiches, subs, and entrees.
Popular with the college crowd, the restaurant opened additional locations near Virginia Tech, Radford University, and Roanoke College. Locations were added at the rate of one or two per year, including those in neighboring West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Macado’s just recently opened its newest location in Winchester, Virginia.
Regional chain serving stacked sandwiches amid pop culture memorabilia. Based on 245 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.7 stars. Price $$

Our waitress “wrote down” our order. Then came back 4x to ask what we ordered over the next 20 minutes. Brings our food out and my order isn’t even the sandwich I ordered and she is long gone. Wait for her to come back and inform her this isn’t what I ordered, she acts offended. At this point I’ve told her at least 3x at this point what I wanted and no tomato. 15 min later when everyone else is almost done eating I finally get the right sandwich, covered in tomato.

The food was okay. The totchos came with liquid “cheese”. The selection of sandwiches is extensive but not much there for vegetarians. Our server was inattentive and unapologetic for further delay after messing up our order.

This place is great when you can actually manage to eat here. I’ve tried eating here twice the last month within the posted business hours and the doors have been locked each time. The hours and days open should absolutely be updated because at this point I’m not convinced they’re in business at all.

We went there with a large group and the service wasn’t great. They weren’t busy so it shouldn’t have been that hard. They do have a great menu with lots of selections. The o ion rings and the pretzels were good for appetizers. I’m on a low carb diet and they were very accommodating for my special requests. The atmosphere is unique and inviting.

This was a great place to stop and have lunch. We have two girls that needed to get out of the car on our way to Tennessee. They have a nice outside area to eat. My girls where able to play corn hole games and make friends with the other couple that had two girls as well. The food was delicious. The people that work there are genuinely nice. This is the perfect place to stop and catch a breath. Waiting on the food was no big deal. I ordered a burger well done. I know that takes time. The people who say there food did not come fast enough…should shut their mouth and enjoy the scenery for a few while they wait on the yummy food they ordered. Oh…and by the way…there was one fellow that threw his cigarette off the patio into a pile of leaves. I walked around the gazebo and made sure to put it out. Kudos to all the workers there. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling through.

Service was good but the food was not. Had to wait a good while to receive our lunch and it wasn’t hot. Don’t order any burger. It is not fresh and has little taste. The chicken in the “Diablo” was overcooked. Cheese sticks and hot wings were delicious though and that is why I give it 2 stars.

My first and last visit! It wasn’t very busy but still had to wait for more than 20 minutes. Once we got our food the burgers were burnt on the bottom the fries were greasy and my egg was over cooked! The waiter was the best thing of the night.
