    Easy to see sign in small strip mall

    Came here for a late lunch after flying in from L.A. The decor and ambiance are really fun, quirky & nostalgic items all over the walls, ceiling. Very much had a TGIF restaurant vibe (if anyone remembers that chain). Service was horrible. Took us forever to get the menu and then more time to get our orders in. It's VT graduation week so you'd think restaurants would have more staff but since it was an off-hour, they only had 1 waitress for our area of the large restaurant. There were tons of menu items to choose from, mostly sandwiches. Everything tasted fine, nothing to rave about. My graduate said the service is always slow regardless of time or season. Macado's is probably better as a bar than as a full-service restaurant. But all the kitschy objects & items around the restaurant will keep kids enthralled & occupied during the long wait for food. Not sure I'd go back.

    From the outset, you might think that this is an old college dive bar that has been around forever and seen generations of Virginia Tech students. You would be right. I stopped by on a Thursday night to grab a quick dinner while in town for a job interview. The only reason I can't give this place 5/5 stars is because of the service: I stood for nearly 10 minutes at the hostess station waiting for someone to seat me. Multiple staff members walked by, clearly saw me, and didn't do anything to offer a table or even say "please hold on, we'll be right with you." I was finally able to get a seat at the bar and even there, I sat for a few minutes before the bartender offered me a menu or to get a drink. Besides this, the rest of the experience was positive. Macado's menu is massive! If you love sandwiches, this is the place for you. I ordered the Ziegfield's club, which included hot pastrami, corned beef, salami, swiss cheese, coleslaw, tomato, and Thousand Island dressing on three layers of rye bread. It was a warm, savory, juicy, delectable mess that I would order again instantly. I got the potato salad as my side which was filled with big chunks of potatoes and the perfect ratio of mayonnaise. Because it was a Thursday and they were doing a half price special, I got 20 boneless wings (half spicy Thai, half bang bang sauce). The flavors were so good and I liked all the extra blue cheese dressing they provided for dipping. I washed it all down with two pints from the local Three Notch'd Brewing Company. The food was fantastic and I had more than enough to bring home. I can see why Macado's is such a local treasure and I would not hesitate in the least to stop in again.

    Came here with my family on a Friday evening - there were people for sure, but it wasn't too crowded. Service-wise, I have absolutely no complaints. My server was great - orders went in quick; my mom's continuous requests to have her hot water mug filled up were done very promptly, and the food came quickly. However, the food was quite average, and probably below average. I got the Big City Jazz, which was a sandwich that had bacon, turkey, avocado, and some vegetables. I felt like the sandwich wasn't seasoned well, even though it had so much on it. The portions were about normal. Pricing was quite fair, however. Macado's isn't a bad spot, but I didn't have a great time and probably won't be back (for food at least).

    Buffalo chicken wrap

    Visited a few weeks ago when I was back in Blacksburg and while the food is always great, the service was really slow. It took us almost 10 minutes to be seated and another 10 minutes to order drinks. The food was quick but paying took a little while too. We visited during the summer when school was out so it was not busy at all. I did order the buffalo chicken wrap and it was very good and the fries were excellent, I just wish we got faster service.

    Macado's is a great place to take someone visiting Blacksburg. From the decor to the massive menu, there's truly nothing else like it in Blacksburg. The menu may be overwhelming to some, but it also means that there's something for everyone. They recently started offering gluten free buns which is exciting because a lot of their menu is served on bread or buns. While their kitchen does not have a devoted gluten free section, they were careful in making us aware of possible cross contamination. I chose to get the Gibson girl grilled cheese on gluten free bread. I was disappointed that the bread was not grilled, but I'm assuming that was to limit cross contamination so I appreciate it. The bread was more of a bun, so next time I am going to get a more hearty sandwich (or a burger) so the bread doesn't overpower the toppings.

    Macado's definitely was not what I was expecting tonight. They had their Sunday night .39 cent wings which is a complete steal. However, it only applies to boneless chicken, and they are not very good. Honey BBQ is probably my favorite flavor but too much of it will get pretty sauce heavy. The wings are somewhat small and just do not taste very good. We also had to wait about an hour and a half for the wings but we were told before hand we were going to have to wait for about an hour so not a problem there. Would not come again unless you want some cheap wings that don't taste the best. Maybe I should've gotten traditional.

    The Milk Parlor - Ice cream sandwich

    The Milk Parlor

    I'm a fan of The Milk Parlor…read more In terms of food and drinks, they're known for having an array of "gourmet grilled cheeses" and somewhat obscure drinks and shooters (i.e. White Russians, Picklebacks (pickle juice + whiskey), etc.). I tried the Fungus Among Us -- it was a little greasy, but that's to be expected with grilled cheese; overall, a tasty sandwich. I think where it really shines is the ambiance (note: I haven't been since February 2020, pre-COVID). The Milk Parlor has a really great casual, underground (literally) atmosphere, and they host lots of events during different nights of the week. They continued the tradition of Salsa Nights on Wednesdays that Sycamore Deli had, there are Comedy Nights every other week, and the occasional open mic. The events I've gone to have been really fun, and a cool way to meet and support others in the community. Would recommend if you want a chill environment, reasonably priced food/drinks, and good customer service.

    The manager is objectively just awful. Yelled "why are you whispering" when I ordered despite me…read morescreaming over the band, and then left out a portion of my order after we had back and forth talked about what exactly I wanted (it was literally just a koozie that she decided the price on on the spot). After the interaction, two other customers that saw it mentioned their bad experiences with her that night. Then she proceeds to give a koozie for free to a guy. Also will straight up ignore you and not serve you if she decides she doesn't like you. Get a real job if you don't want to bartend as a manager at YOUR understaffed bar.
