The Blacksburg Tavern,

103 South Main Street, Blacksburg, VA 24060

"Historic inside and comfortable. Food was hot and delicious. Recommend The Gobbler Bowl especially if it’s cold outside! Mac and cheese, apple butter and cornbread were tasty too! The owner sat us and welcomed us. Recommend reading the back story. House is the oldest house on Main St built in 1892. Highly recommend!"

"Eating here was one of the experiences I've ever had! I felt like I was sent back to 1850 when I walked in- old southern tunes were playing, everything was made of wood, and it just felt rustic. I came on a Sunday for lunch and it was very quiet. Service was quick and efficient and I ended up going with the brisket burger with apples. The food was great, with the exception being the cole slaw which I found too sweet. The brisket was some of the best I ever had though. Blacksburg Tavern isn't for everyone, but if you want an authentic southern experience, this is definitely the spot!"

"Daniel Riley, tavern owner, met us at door as maitre d. He is a gracious host, stopped by our table to chat. I don't have much to add to previous reviews. Highly recommend The Blackburg Tavern, we will definitely return."

"Quiet and quiet old Virginian style Southern food in a place where one can imagine great grandma cooking. Our service provider was excellent and the owner came by to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The AC was a welcome respite from Southern Virginia summer, even though there was outdoor seating. Wine list is small, but there is nice list of whiskey to drink. Will return for special occasions."

"Absolutely one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. The food was superb, the waitress was amazing, greeted at the door by the owner, and the renovated house is fabulous. We saw this restaurant on a Facebook post advising that they were going on vacation, so come see them. Along with this post was the most sumptuous looking plate of fried chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes. So, we decided to try it while we were out... and I do not regret that decision at all. I had The Gobbler, a bowl full of shredded fried chicken, topped with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy, pimento mac and cheese, and green beans. It was serendipity in a bowl - so very delicious. My husband had The Hungry Hokie, a bowl that starts out with meatloaf and topped with the same as The Gobbler. I love meatloaf and am skeptical to get it at restaurants, but I will definitely try the meatloaf in the plate version - the bite I had of my husband's left me wanting more. Oh... and the biscuits, light and fluffy, and the cornbread could have been dessert...like cake, so delicious For dessert, we shared the peach pie. It was my least favorite of the entire meal, but that could be because I had eaten so much of my meal (and had half to take home - that's how much it was - my husband did finish his). I think next time I will try the brownie with ice cream. We are already making plans to come back with our parents and trying the family style meal."
