The Cellar is one of those restaurants where you might wonder, "Do they have ...?" And the answer…read morewill probably be, "Yes, they do have that on the menu." They have gyros, meatball subs, pizza, burgers, crab cakes, kabobs, chicken parmesan and lots more. I get a little squinky when I see a multiple-page menu with lots of random foods on it. But I visited with a group, and so I was locked into this place, whether I liked it or not. A quick internet and Yelp search told me that the things to get at The Cellar are the Greek gyro and the pizzas. I didn't want a whole pie just for myself, so I ordered the gyro. The Greek gyro was really good! It is lamb and beef in a pita, topped with tzatziki, lettuce, onion and tomato. All of the veggies were super fresh, and the pita was warm and pillowy. It's served with chips and a pickle. They actually have quite a few Greek or Mediterranean-adjacent items on the menu. One of the people in my group ordered the Black & Blue Salad, which is basically a salad with steak and bleu cheese on it, plus lots of vegetables. It was huge! She ate a lot of it, and it looked like she barely made a dent. When she put the leftovers in the to-go container, she almost needed two containers! It became a running joke that day and for a couple of days afterward about whether or not she actually finished that salad. This is also the location for the 6Pak Bottle Shop, which is basically a liquor store but intensely curated. They have a nice selection of craft beers and wine. There is also a bar downstairs, which I didn't have the pleasure of visiting. Another great thing about The Cellar is that they are open late! Sometimes until midnight, and sometimes until 2 a.m. I guess that makes sense, as they are located basically right across the street from Virginia Tech.

We tried four different beers, with our favorite being the Coconut Migration porter. The bartender had great recommendations and was very kind and patient when we were figuring out what we wanted to order. The inside had a cool vibe I would describe as industrial meets greenhouse, with lots of board games to keep you entertained. The patio seating is also beautiful, and we sat and watched a storm roll in while enjoying our brews. We didn't try the food, but the table next to us seemed to really enjoy the food. We will absolutely be back to get a new flight (they have a large selection of beers to try) and a meal to enjoy at sunset in the future.

The beer is good, the non-alcoholic options are also good (I like their ginger beer & lemonade).

Last time we got some of their pretzels as an app, but they were more like pretzel sticks that you warm up from frozen. Not taste bad, but just not a big pretzel like I had expected. Overall, great space, inside and outside. Parking lot can get full so people often park in the street. Tucked in a scenic and quiet area.

They offer a nationally acclaimed menu that's been featured on NPR, Southern Living Magazine and even the ACC Network. They offer their own parking lot in the rear A huge rarity in a college area. It was clean and maintained. It was a treat to meet the owner in front of the tavern tending to landscaping needs. The historic homes facade presents beautifully. There is also outdoor seating. Our party of seven enjoyed a Sunday brunch while knowing little about the establishment. We were promptly greeted with a smile and menus and seated on the front room. Each of the four interior rooms has a fireplace and nostalgic photos adorn the walls. They also have a small bar with a focus on bourbon. The menu had one hit after another with authentic Southern cooking. The description calls it a "Traditional Regional Farmers Menu."No question the fried chicken is the hero. Five out of seven got the fried chicken. Others the chili and meatloaf. A plate of biscuits and cornbread were placed on the table after drinks placed. The history of the tavern on the menu is worthy of your time. The owner, originally from Blacksburg moved from California to restore for his own home. Later opening the restaurant. His goal to keep the structure original and true to purpose as a tavern. The owner himself comes from a family of tavern proprietors. I digress too long! The FOOD ALREADY!!! Well as you have probably already guessed it was impressive and exceeded my expectations. Every main, every side was a home run. From the mash potatoes & gravy to the macaroni & cheese, backed apples and green beans, to the rarely found succotash. All fabulous! Only starter was ham biscuits which were good. Mains of chili and meatloaf strong. But it was the fried chicken that brings local and tourist alike in the door. The chicken was cooked up to perfection and deliciously moist The breading was exceptional as well with no dripping grease and a medium crispy finish. The only desert ordered was the brownie & ice-cream. So yummy! The owner Daniel checked in on us before departing which made our experience even more special. The Blacksburg Tavern is a Southwestern Virginia gem that's a must to dine at. Checkout was efficient and prices affordable for large quality dishes. I will return later this year and hope to catch live music. Highly recommend.

Although they don't normally serve breakfast, our waiter, Garvin, was kind enough to accommodate his special order. Overall, we had a pleasant visit, and the service was great.

Located a short drive west of Blacksburg (in Prices Fork), this delicious and innovative restaurant is housed in a former school building (Prices Fork elementary school). The dining area occupies a former school cafeteria or assembly hall, but don't let that deter you. The food is delicious! Lots of pluses. First, parking is free and available in the back lot. Second, you place an order up front and then receive a card with a letter from the alphabet. Third, the service was quite good. A server came to refill our water and asked if everything was OK. Fourth, it has a nice family-friendly vibe. For shared appetizers, the Pimento with crackers was very good. But the Bang Bang Brussel Sprouts was outstanding and memorable. We also enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich. My wife found the endless summer salad to have very generous portions. Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

There are lockers in the entryway, and little throwbacks to academic life here and there. I could never get a glass of wine at my elementary school, though. So Feather Bone is way cooler. These guys have an interesting setup. You have to order your alcohol at the bar, separately from your food, and they will bring it to you. I can't tell if it's because the bar and the restaurant are two separate entities, or what. When I visited, it was with a big group, so we got a bunch of things for the table. I think the start of the meal was the pimento cheese board, which came with crackers, pickles and slaw, plus some colorful vegetables. I had never had anything like it! I'm not usually a pickled veg gal, but they went really well with the soft and slightly spicy cheese. Plus, this appetizer is very pretty. Equally impressive were the Bang Bang Brussels -- roasted Brussels sprouts with a chili crisp vinaigrette and sesame shallot crunchies on top. Leaves of Thai basil and cilantro covered the top. This dish went really fast at our table. Another star: the focaccia and miso butter. Sometimes, a simple slice of bread and butter will be just the perfect thing. This one is amazing. I got the fried chicken, because I heard that it is one of Feather Bone's specialties. It was super crunchy and deeply brown, and came with gravy and hot honey to dip it in. Other things that people at my table ordered that they loved: the pork chop (comes with apple sauce gravy and a fennel salad); the World's Best Cookie (not bad); banana pudding (good, but had too much stuff on it, like a caramel drizzle and cookie crumbs). Feather Bone is a fun place to find comfort food, and it's great for big groups.
