Boneless wings
Crys F.

I'm still thinking about the chicken fried steak! It was so tender and flavored just right! We will be back next time we are in town.

Loaded fries

Food and service were great! We are from Kansas City and we just loved it here. If you want a good Chicken Fried Steak!

Kids chicken tender meal

Inside of the building was empty. Almost didn't look open. Everyone was outside on the patio. We were given a menu & told to sit anywhere. We headed out to the patio and discovered 1 table was about to fall over. Moved on to the next & all of the chairs had spiderwebs. We ordered water & our meals. The food took absolutely forever to arrive. The kids meal was supposed to come with fries and a cheese stick but it was just 2 tenders & fries. My kiddo quickly inhaled them. I ordered a side salad & boneless wings. My side salad came out first and then I had to once again wait on the wings. I was told they had messed up the order so they were correcting it. I'm not knocking the food- it was delicious. I had to go inside and ask for a box and then once again go inside to ask for ticket to pay. I was never given an itemized receipt. Also seemed like they were short handed because I had to wait on the waitress/hostess to appear from the back each time I needed something. It was a nice change up from the restaurants I typically visit when I'm in town but I can understand why some of the reviews are not the best!

The trash I had to clear to an empty table that was never picked up.

I love this bar, and both bartenders i've seen multiple times are not only great at their jobs but beyond friendly.

If you're into Southern Home Cooking then The Blacksburg Tavern In Blacksburg, Virginia is sure to…read moreknock your socks off. 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.

We were greeted by Dan the owner and our server was excellent. Homecoming weekend at Virginia Tech…read moreis this weekend and I recommend anyone visiting Blacksburg to put this on the list. Fries Chicken is the best I have had, and that is saying something when one considers the pounds of chicken I have eaten. Masked potato's better than Mom makes (don't tell her).
