Texas Tavern This 96-year old 10 stool local landmark is known for its Chile, hamburgers, hotdogs, & Cheesy Westerns.
(2641)

On Feb. 13th, 1930 during the height of the great depression, I.N. "Nick" Bullington opened the 10 stool Texas Tavern and began serving its famous bowls of chile, hamburgers, hotdogs, and cheesy westerns. With a no frills atmosphere and the motto "Give the customer a fair shake" the Texas Tavern has become a landmark and a rite of passage for many locals and visitors alike. Known as "Roanoke's Millionaires Club”,
it is still run by the same family, now in its 4th generation of ownership.
