    Salad from the cold bar at the buffet
    MaryLinda W.

    After hurricane Helene closed parts of I-40, we adjusted our route to and from South Carolina and we discovered Fiddler's on the way. It was conveniently located for us to stop for lunch on a Sunday. The parking lot was full, but we were seated quite promptly. The menu has multiple options, but we opted for the buffet which includes cold, hot, and breakfast items. The restaurant also has live music several times a month, and features different performers on the tables.

    Dining area with wall photos and string instruments plus the buffet bar.

    Arrived for a small breakfast and found a fully stocked buffet. This former Shoney's has been transformed into a warm and so very friendly restaurant. The walls are covered with pictures of the beautiful local mountains. Adorning the entire restaurant are string instruments used in performing Blue Grass Music and the music is actually provided on weekends. The breakfast food and service was very good. We will return when in the area. Special notice to the bi-wing model plane at the end of the buffet.

    Fried chicken, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy with mini blueberry muffins.

    The theme lends well to the name of the restaurant, and the light sound of country music helps.

    for 3 people, we ordered butter chicken and vindaloo (chicken option), both on a medium-hot spice…read morelevel, along with two garlic naans starting off with the garlic naan, i thought it was pretty decent it wasn't hard, but certainly could've been softer. it did have a good amount of oil on it, but i only got a little bit of the garlic flavor 2 garlic naan orders came out to four half-naan pieces, which was alright but not great the rice was also fine - nothing special both curries had essentially zero spice to them at all. the butter chicken might've had negative spice, and i found the faintest hint of some on the vindaloo. in terms of overall flavor, i think the vindaloo had a few more spices and tasted slightly more authentic, but out of the two i preferred the butter chicken's taste as it was a bit more pleasing. thankfully both curries weren't super oily i did like the chicken in both curries - it was cooked well and retained some juiciness. the vindaloo especially actually had a good amount of chicken in pretty large pieces. both curries had a pretty decent protein/gravy ratio due to the lack of spiciness and 'real' flavor, i wouldn't come here if you're looking for authentic indian food, but for a facsimile to display for non-indians, it's not the worst imitation i've seen

    I didn't know what to expect with Indian food in Blacksburg but actually had a pretty ok experience…read morehere! I came after game day and it was surprisingly quiet. I got the chicken biryani and shared some garlic and regular naan with the table. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was pretty good! The naan was pretty good too. My own personal main complaint would be that the servers weren't the most proactive with refilling water- they weren't very available and we had to ask. Also, the chicken tikka masala was not good- don't get it.

    I used to go here with my mom whenever we were in town and there were a lot of options. I stoped in…read moretonight because I wanted chinese and having been on the road all day with nothing to eat figured a buffet was the best bang for my buck. The selections were much fewer and a lot greasier than they had been in the past and despite being a fairly busy Thursday at peak dinner hours turnover was fairly slow and many items had been out for a while and not restocked. The place has gone downhill a bit from what it had been before what I understand to be changing hands several times. It filled me up but the food was nothing special and I dont think ill be going back unless something big changes. I miss how it used to be, it used to be a small hidden gem of a buffet but perhaps in this economy that just cant be expected to last. But the price was fairly reasonable and I may have just hit it at a bad time. Caveat emptor, but I wouldnt bring my friends here if tonight was an example of normal service. On the bright side, the hibachi chicken, general Tso's chicken and pepper steak were all surprisingly good, though the sushi seemed like it had been out for a while and i doubt my cat would go for it.

    Noticeably old, dingy, unkept building. Sanitation score was 92.5. Found many of the plates and…read morebowls were not washed properly, still had bits of food and residue stuck on them.. Food was less than desirable taste-wise. Decent selection. But would not come back.
