Loved the Series, so we just had to travel to Roanoake from Minnesota to see Mike and the Shop! What a great place for all things salvage, unique creations by the team and the local artist items! Mike in the yard was such a great help with a great attitude. It was so fun to meet everyone! Thank you for taking the time to greet us! Definitely a must stop!

How cool is this place?! Love the oddities and VA artist support… and all of the people who work here are beyond helpful and super sweet. Wish we had a place like this in NJ!!

Black Dog Salvage in Roanoke, Virginia, is an absolute gem! My wife and I were traveling from Western Massachusetts to Florida for a winter getaway and stumbled upon this incredible spot while searching for interesting places to visit in the Roanoke area. The night before our visit, we decided to check out some episodes of their TV show to get a feel for what the place was like, and we were already excited. But let me tell you—seeing it in person far exceeded our expectations! We were thrilled to even spot a couple of items we remembered from the show, which made the experience even more special. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the unique charm and creativity of this architectural salvage and reuse company. It’s so much more than just a salvage yard—it’s a treasure trove of history, art, and inspiration. The space is filled with an eclectic mix of reclaimed architectural pieces, vintage finds, and quirky "doodads" and "whatchamacallits" that you never knew you needed but suddenly can’t live without. What really stood out to us was the support for local artists, whose work is beautifully displayed throughout the store. It’s clear that Black Dog Salvage is not just a business but a community hub that celebrates creativity and sustainability. We spent hours exploring the aisles, marveling at the craftsmanship and imagining the stories behind each piece. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. If you’re passing through Roanoke or even planning a trip specifically to visit, Black Dog Salvage is a must-see. It’s a perfect blend of history, art, and fun—highly recommend stopping in! We left with unique souvenirs and unforgettable memories. Thank you, Black Dog Salvage, for making our trip even more special!

If I could give them more stars I would. I ordered this beautiful teakwood tree and it arrived very quick. I was worried about it getting ship and broken but let me tell you they wrapped it very well with burlap sacks and peanut Styrofoam. I am so happy with it and so happy to say they take pride in what you order. Thank you so much Black Dog Salvage. Definitely recommend them. I will definitely buy from them again

Wow! I love the skill and creativity of this place. It’s refreshing to be here after living in the DC area where new developments feature mass produced designs with materials that lack essence. Most things here are hand made with elemental materials of wood, glass and metals or reused – leaving a feeling of connection and harmony with man and nature. Really lovely to experience this very playful and creative place. Hope to be back again and take some items home!

Very cool spot. We enjoyed wandering around and checking out every part of Black Dog Salvage. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out if you are in Roanoke.

Had to check the #3 thing to do in Roanoke during a recent visit. Huge place with lots of indoor space that was perfect for a sweltering summer day. Wandering is encouraged! Interesting mix of vendor goods set beside salvaged goods. As many have noted, this is not a place to find a deal, but it's a great place to find something unique. And if you love the idea of making something cool, but don't have the skills, there are lots of neat constructions. Great place for ideas. Don't miss the fine art upstairs!
