The Great 611 Steak Company, Steakhouse in Roanoke, United States.
The Great 611 Steak Company is a steakhouse on Franklin Road in Roanoke, Virginia, serving a range of beef cuts. Every entree comes with access to a self-serve salad and potato bar included in the meal.
The restaurant takes its name from a Class J steam locomotive built in 1950 at the Norfolk & Western shops in Roanoke. That locomotive became one of the most recognized symbols of the city's railroad era.
The dining room is decorated with railroad memorabilia that reflects Roanoke's past as a major rail hub. Guests can look around and spot authentic pieces that connect the meal to the city's working-class history.
The restaurant opens at midday and closes in the early evening on most days, with slightly longer hours on weekends. Arriving early in the evening helps avoid a longer wait, especially on busy nights.
Unlike most steakhouses, the salad and potato bar here is included with every entree at no extra charge. This means guests can help themselves without worrying about the bill going up with each addition.
