Shark Juice drink
Ethan B.

To start, this place has a very large menu with options that can fit just about any craving you may have. There are also a lot of drink choices for those of age. We went with the 20% off boneless wing deal for Sundays, where we got a large and did half regular bbq and half garlic bbq. We also ordered a basket of fries, which is big enough to share between 3-4 people. The food here is always amazing and the wings have good flavor and a good amount of sauce. We also ordered the Shark Juice drink, and it was amazing! Very reminiscent of an island drink with a lot of coconut/fruit taste. This place has a great bar setting with a lot of TVs to watch any game you want. It's a little dark during lunch hours but other than that the ambiance is great. Service has always been amazing and I have never had a bad experience with any waiter/waitress!! Overall I would rate the food a 9/10, the drink a 9.5/10 (very sweet which we like), and the service a 8.5/10. I would highly recommend this place to any families in town visiting!

Boneless Wings
Mara M.

Cannot believe I haven't reviewed Sharkeys yet. Dare I say my favorite bar in Blacksburg. Great happy hour 4-9pm with nicely priced drinks. Also their food is pretty good especially at night. You can get a free drink glass on your birthday and the outdoor space is awesome for hanging out when the weather is nice. If I could change anything about the establishment, I would add 10 more girls bathroom stalls as line gets long at night.

Chicken Avocado Dip Wrap
Eva H.

You can't go wrong with a Sharkeys wrap! These are paired best with happy hour drink too! Our server was super accommodating and got us a table right away. Ambiance is basic college bar scene but great for watching sports and sharing a drink with friends!

Fried Mac & Cheese Wedges
Jenna A.

The grilled bacon cheese (no tomato) and fried Mac and cheese were to die for! The Hawaiian Punch drink is also super yummy and sweet. Definitely one of my new favorite places to visit in Blacksburg!

Philly Cheese Steak Wrap with Seasoned Fries
Kevin P.

Probably one of the best places around town to get good food and cheap drinks. I gotta say their wings are really good but they aren't that spicy. Even their hottest sauce, 9-1-1, packs a punch, but could be less spicer than some jalapeños. The Philly cheese steak wrap was great and I would definitely come here again. Drinks: Long Island Iced tea (Good Classic), Tropical Iced Tea (Good for a fruity taste), Blue Motorcycle (Good drink in general), Hokie Crush (Eh, not bad)

Charging a cover of $3 on a Wednesday at 5:30. Why do I have to pay $3 to enjoy a meal. Awful

Just had the most rude service from a waitress named Ashley. Asked about the special and she told me very rudely to look at the menu online.

It's a college bar but I have to say they have excellent wings. Great place for what it tries to be and recommend stopping in.

This was a rare gem! A gem that we really enjoyed. Our hostess was the best. She quickly seated us…read moreand told us about the "Tuesday Half Price the Entire Menu" day. Our group had been studying the menu prior to our arrival. We enjoyed nearly every cocktail on the menu along with one of their "special shots in an animal head shot glass". There was a little "show" with almost every drink. Even though we had already eaten, we couldn't resist sampling a few snacks. Each snack was unique. The baked potato skins had a spinach artichoke topping and the dumplings had a cayenne dust. The mini pizza was just ok. The service was the highlight of our experience. Our server was always there to make sure we had everything we needed. We hope to visit again when we are in town.

I wanted to share feedback regarding our recent dining experience to celebrate my son's graduation…read morewith family and friends as it was unfortunately very disappointing -- especially considering the price point and expectations presented for your restaurant and event reservations. First, the menu was extremely limited for both food and drinks. While the cocktails were enjoyable, the food quality and portions did not come close to justifying the $300+ we spent. We ordered the shrimp and wagyu skewers expecting thoughtfully prepared dishes. Instead, the shrimp appeared comparable to pre-made shrimp cocktail shrimp placed on a stick rather than freshly grilled seafood. The wagyu skewer lacked the quality and presentation expected from a fine dining establishment and honestly tasted more like beef stroganoff without noodles. I also ordered the lobster bisque, which was served lukewarm and tasted as though it came from a can. The Caesar salad with smoked trout was acceptable, but the trout resembled salmon more than smoked trout, and the dressing tasted bottled rather than house-made. What made the experience more frustrating was the lack of transparency regarding the menu prior to the event reservation. For a restaurant that strictly enforces reservations and cancellation fees, customers reasonably expect a much higher level of quality, preparation, and overall dining experience. Our server was kind, attentive, and did their best throughout the evening, so I truly appreciate their effort. However, much of the remaining staff appeared stressed, overwhelmed, and unwelcoming, which added to the uncomfortable atmosphere. Overall, the experience felt far from the fine dining experience being advertised. The drinks were honestly the only standout part of the evening. I also have to mention that the food we received looked nothing like the photos posted online and in Google reviews. It genuinely made us wonder if there was an issue in the kitchen this evening, because the quality and execution were nowhere near what was being represented publicly. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken constructively because there is a significant disconnect between the pricing, expectations, and actual dining experience being delivered.

Worst staff I've ever encountered. Super unprofessional and only care about themselves. After…read morespending $100+ they are still disrespectful. DO NOT COME HERE

I haven't been to a wide variety of eating establishments in the Blacksburg college town area so I…read moredon't have a lot to compare Centro to which is why, for now, 4 Stars is what I'm giving this place as my inaugural rating. BUT....signs are REALLY PROMISING FOR AN UPGRADE TO 5 STARS if the 2 times I've been here - once in July and then a few weeks ago before the start of classes - are any indication. This was a total stumbled-on find for us and Yelp once again assisted us in picking this little gem. We were looking for a dinner spot, in the mood for anything, just wanted to find someplace with good reviews, went searching on Yelp and came across Centro. Prices were just right and street tacos sounded amazing and a healthier choice - but not too healthy lol - than a greasy burger joint, fast food or an overpriced sit down. Finding the place, at night, was tricky believe it or not. There were noooo pics in Yelp of the shopfront (there are now, check 'em out) and we went up and down the block where google maps indicated it was. Folks - it's a 2nd floor place with 2 small front entrances - the main one right on N Main - a tiny door with a big illustrated skull on the black awning (hard to see in the dark) - sandwiched in between Poor Billy's (on the corner of N Main and Jackson) and Boudreaux's. The other entrance to Centro is on Jackson, just around the corner. Just outside the Jackson entrance, you'll see the makeshift outside dining area for Centro - like 5 or 6 table/chair sets roped off as the street is still a through street for traffic. Clever outside dining area actually - tables are sufficiently distanced, servers wore masks, tables are cleaned diligently and only QR code online menus! Oh and on warm, sunny days, there is large-tree-shade providing nice relief. Way to go! Okay - now for THE FOOD! Sooooooo gooooood! Caveat: we've only ever had the a la carte street tacos and the side order of chips and salsa and guac. That's all. But that's been plenty for us and sufficiently filling and satisfying. The menu isn't extensive and they're not Taco Bell (thank goodness!) or On the Border - but Centro doesn't need to be. I figure their limited menu allows them to focus on QUALITY and what they do best. And it shows - YUM. Value: Absolutely excellent value! Way to go Centro for making your fare way-affordable for students! Totally worth the cost. Quality and fresh ingredients and generous portions on each taco. Lime wedges are a nice touch. The tray of chips is overflowing and enough to group-share. The guac is house made (you can tell) and the salsa is pico de gallo style. They have other hot, medium and mild sauces they'll bring you upon request. Service: Amazing! :) Both times, our servers were on-it, polite and responsive. Our wait for food was minimal (though truthfully, both times we went during non rush). Centro ROCKS. Give them your business and tip your server generously - they're worth it and worth keeping them going! Hoping for huge success for Centro as the new school year begins and as small local businesses like Centro are coming out of the Covid shutdown.
