This is a nice hidden gem! On a busy corner of the Main Street is Cellar Restauarant. After a couple stops down the street, we wanted to end our evening in a quiet place. The Cellar has a basement bar. We snagged a few bar seats. The bar server was great. He provided us waters. He quickly took our cocktail orders and made some very delicious cocktails. My sour apple martini was so good that that a second one was in front of me quickly. One of us ordered a full sandwich meal and that sandwich looked humongous and full of meat. We also ordered sides of curly fries. These were fried fresh. It's somewhat of a dark speakeasy vibe. The crowd was tame compared to some of the other bars down the street. We hope to try the full restaurant in our next visit. read more

I asked for the Mad Greek on pita bread, rather than the sub it came with, as I preferred the softer style of bread The bread came out pretty good - it was pretty soft, cooked well, and had some char marks but wasn't overly so The 12-inch that I ordered was actually two separate 6-inch subs, where each was honestly quite large - enough for a single person to finish Using a lot of willpower, I managed to finish both of them, but it was pretty difficult and required a few breaks The reason for this was the beef I can't discuss the beef without first discussing the portion size. Each pita bread was absolutely loaded with beef - I mean completely stuffed When you'd pick it up, even without a first bite, the beef would already be falling out, and this would continue throughout the eating process until there was an accumulation of pieces on the plate. Due to how packed this was, each bite was like 80% beef. Some may not like this, but because the beef was pretty flavorful, I loved it - you really get your moneys worth with this Since there was so much meat on the sandwich, I really didn't taste much of the other toppings - like olives, onions, peppers, and spinach. There was a little bit of cheese but I felt like there could've been more The lettuce was definitely there but I didn't like how it was just in two huge pieces rather than evenly distributed across in smaller pieces The mostly-beefness did make the flavor a bit one-note as there weren't really many differing flavors in the different bites Lastly, the tzatziki sauce was pretty good - it was a bit unequally distributed but there was a good amount of it - and it certainly was present in most bites For the price of around 15 dollars, this much food is really good. I might recommend getting the 12 inch and splitting it among two people so it'd be pretty cheap per person read more

I love coming here for a pint on weekends and to hang out with my friends. The downstairs has an awesome old-school tavern feel, but I can get very crowded on the weekends, which is understandable for a bar in a college town. However, I did not like the food here, and have given it multiple tries. The food, while well cooked, unfortunately did not have a whole lot of flavor for my preference and I really don't get the hype around the restaurant. That being said, they have great drink deals, especially their Hammer Time on weekdays. They have a great selection of wine, beer, and cocktails, especially when compared to other bars in the area, which I do like to see. The bartenders are great, and I feel like many of the service complaints are due to the evening craziness of the restaurant, particularly on game days and weekends when parents are in town. read more

15 minute wait on a Saturday night. No problem. Great beer and wine menu. So many options. My son and I started with the spanakopita with tzatziki. He had Greek pizza and I had the spinach calzone. So much homemade marinara on the side. We both only ate half. Really good! Love the atmosphere. read more

Best little restaurant in this. College town. Central to everything and you can't go wrong with their Greek style menu!

I have celiac disease, and I've been dealing with this genetic disease for 20 years. I have had the gluten free pizza before at the Cellar, and I was looking forward to it last weekend. I explained my allergy to the waitress and asked for some aluminum foil underneath the pizza while it cooked if possible. She said it would be no problem. I had a reaction like flour had been sprinkled all over the pizza or the crust was drug through flour. I was sick with an inflammatory reaction of fever, chills, and all the other GI symptoms. I will never eat there again. Don't count on it actually being gluten free. read more

It's the second time I've been here. I came back for the gyro because it was so good the first time. It comes in two sizes (6 in and 12 in, but the 12 is really two gyros.) They come stuffed full of meat and tomatoes and lettuce with a great tzatziki sauce. Service is pretty good, it just depends on how big the crowd is, just like any other place. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's definitely a place I would come back to again. read more

Was at the bar late last night. Bartenders shouted last call, and as I went to get a drink the bartender was incredibly rude and refused to serve me a drink. She said I'm not serving you anymore when I never even ordered a drink! I just got to the bar some minutes prior! Then she threatened to kick me out of the bar. read more

Wow I grew up in Blacksburg my cousins and I would run in there to get food in the earlier years. But many years later when I married my husband and I moved to Dublin Va due to my husbands job at Volvo for twenty years and OMG the pita and Tzatziki dip was out of this world and went home with a vegetarian pizza added pepperoni And it was runner up to pizza inn and let me tell you in this area no one comes close to pizza inn. Very nice young man at the bar and after all these years I am impressed and there's so many years that has gone by but going back home I was very impressed. So thank you to the owners of the cellar. You made my return happy. I plan to revisit with all five of my children to enjoy your food. Keep up the great work read more

Great local spot. Food took a while to come out, but it was pretty crowded so it was fine. Space is well-decorated and not like anything else in Blacksburg. Some of the best curly fries I've ever had and the Gyro was great as well. Overall, awesome spot and definitely the best of Blacksburg. read more

Great spot downtown with a nice and relaxed vibe. Came here with a few friends for dinner and would definitely come back! I got the chicken souvlaki kabobs, which were cooked very well. Neither the asparagus nor the chicken were dry, and the rest of my friends were also very happy with what they got. Service was great, except their default tip options for when you pay were 25, 23, and 22% which is definitely questionable. read more

Food was just ok... Service was typical. The ambience was casual but good. I know this restaurant has been around for a while and seems to be a staple. Maybe try something besides the calzone. read more

If you're looking for a friendly place, with solid food, in a great locations - this is it. Had an excellent experience with our son... outside, on a beautiful Friday evening ahead of a football game that weekend. Service was attentive and the waitresses recommendations for Greek specialties were spot on. Only wish there was more outdoor seating! read more

It took a while to get menus and have our order taken. Granted it was dinner hours during the day before VT undergrad graduation so, it's busier than usual. Once we ordered, food came out pretty quickly. My mussels in chopped tomato salsa type sauce was SO salty & overcooked. Rubbery texture. It tasted like mussels had been cooked in brine, frozen then heated up. Will never order again. The others ordered Gyros Sandwich, Cheeseburger, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. All of those tasted fine, no complaints. BUT, the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich had no grilled onions, nor grilled bell peppers. Some restaurants only do grilled onions but this one had nothing. Just 2 romaine lettuce leaves which left us all scratching our heads. I don't know if we'll be going back here when we go back to Blacksburg. **The steps to enter the restaurant slopes downward towards the patio and a bit slippery. There are no railings. An old man went crashing down hard onto the brick patio and it looked like he had hit his shoulder against the metal cart by the entrance. We all rushed to help him but his son(?) got him up and had him wait at the sidewalk to get the car. It was extremely scary. So be careful with those steps!!** read more

This place sure went downhill over the years! The scene: Thursday night in the summer. In case you are not from here, B-burg clears out in the summer. You don't have to wait for tables. Issue 1: Waited 8 min for the host to finish their conversation and even acknowledge us. (We should have walked out then!) Issue2: Rude waitstaff talking loudly about how little another table left them in tips (hmmm, I wonder why?) Issue 3: Was given lukewarm spin/art dip. 4: Sat for 55 min waiting for two 9" Pizzas which came out looking like they sat under a heat lamp - dough had a horrible aftertaste. The finale: The toast app they use has the audacity to have their tips default to 22, 23 and 25%!!! Hard pass! read more

The cellar is my favorite restaurant in Blacksburg!! Great food for a great price. They have a great lunch special for the pizzas and sandwiches where you get your meal with a drink for under $10. It can get busy at times, but they have a downstairs portion of the restaurant that a lot of people don't know about. And if it's nice, highly recommend sitting outside! Here's some of my favorite menu items, but you really can't go wrong. - the curly fries are some of the best fries out there, and I love the meatball sub - the pizza is awesome. - the gyros and chicken souvlaki pitas are great. - I love the chicken parm too. This time I got the greek spaghetti which was good but wished it had more of a sauce and more feta. read more

Wow. We were starving, but this was really good. Great selection of beer...and a half pitcher? ...Only on a college town. Calzone was killer, pizza killer, lasagna...again, Wow. Everyone shared everything and we all enjoyed. Service was great. Who know that drinking from a pitcher is illegal A nice outdoor ambiance. Lots of shade on a warm summer day. read more

Food: Greek gyro was ok. They give you an abundance of food to eat however quality is OK. Service: Very nice people and fast service. read more

The meatball sub was really good, so many meatballs. The service was a little slow, but I was there just before the Metallica so they get a pass. I think they were understaffed. read more

Terrible service. We waited nearly an hour for our food and when it came out, everything was cold and a few meals were incorrect. The manager has left for the day and it's 1:30pm. Our server gave us attitude when we asked about our meals. She continued to give us attitude. read more

The most horrible service I ever experienced. The waitress was very rude and the manager does not care. It was my first time here for my OWN BIRTHDAY dinner with a friend on Easter Sunday. I heard The Cellar had excellent Italian food. I politely asked for the manager after the rude waitress rejected my valid form of ID from New York. Just before the manager arrived the waitress yelled at me stating that she was not serving me because I was rude even though I was being polite and wanted to show my ID was valid. I was trying to show that it was actually me and I was 22, I was yelled at by the waitress and told to leave by the manager. The manager would not even speak to me. I had politely asked for the manager after my ID got rejected and I was thrown out when I tried to have a birthday dinner. Terrible first impression, disgusting service! read more

It was a busy day in there defense but I waited for the food for about 2 hours and went to the bathrooms and had a tall waitress/bartender pounded on the door after being in there for maybe 2-3 minutes. read more

This is a classic eatery located in the heart of downtown Blacksburg. They have been around for decades, offering a variety of cuisines. The restaurant has a fun, laid back vibe to it. It is perfect for college students or a good dinner. Being downtown, it could be tricky to find parking. The service is decent, sometimes a little slow, but always friendly. As for the food, they offer wood fired pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, greek food, and pastas. Their pizza is always spot on, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. In the winter, I really enjoy ordering their baked ziti with meatballs or meat lasagna. They are the perfect comfort food on a cold winter day. For an appetizer, I would 100% recommend their house-made spinach and artichoke dip, served with warm pitas. They are known for their spinach and artichoke dip and it is a must order! Their greek salad is also a great option, served with copious amounts of olives, feta, and veggies, served with 2 dolmas. Most of their entrees are also served with a piece of garlic bread, which is always yummy! If you are looking for a good spot to dine in or takeout in Blacksburg, the Cellar is a great place to consider. read more

The staff was friendly and nice. We sat outside as it was a perfect day. Here are some of the things we ordered: pita and taziki. Everyone enjoyed this and they give you a ton of taziki. Crab cakes were ok, they came with taziki and a sauce that was on the sweeter side. Cheese pizza was average. Rigatoni and meatballs, the pasta was good a bit overcooked for some but I didn't mind it. It was cheesy but could have used a bit more sauce maybe order it on the side. Chicken kabob, potatoes and broccoli. The chicken is seasoned heavily with a lot of pepper so this is only good if you are a pepper fan. They have a great happy hour with beers half off. This was our first time here as we are visiting Virginia Tech. The food is average, I'd only return for happy hour, have some drinks and maybe try a different appetizer. read more

ATROCIOUS experience. Incredibly rude barstaff. I was visiting from out of state, had my real ID denied, and was told to leave. Food wasn't very good either. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Went in to have a drink and dinner. Sat at the bar once walked in, but there is a bar downstairs in the "cellar", hence the name and is more of a bar scene. There is a nice list of beers, domestic, import, and craft. All at decent prices. The wine list is very limited. Learned this is greek place with some italian dishes. Ordered the special, fried gnocchi with marinara dipping sauce. It was good, but a lot of bread. Does make a good snack while drinking. Got 12" margherita pizza and the 12" gyro. Both were good, but nothing over the ordinary. I would be back if in the area and recommend checking this place out at least once. read more

Such a convenient, tasty, and accessible restaurant near campus for dinner with your friends or the occasional date night! They have such a wide variety on their menu, so there's really something for everyone. I've heard that there's a lower level of the restaurant, but I've only been to the upper part of the Cellar. I can't attest to the alcoholic beverages served here either. In the past, I've ordered "Cajun Shrimp Dip", "Greek Gyro" (make sure you specify that you want this as a pita sandwich because there's also a pizza version!), and "Pasta Aegean." Each time I've come here, I've been really happy with my food! read more

Absolutely appalling experience. Came for a tour with my kid VA Tech, the food was good but i think it's my worst experience in a restaurant ever!! we had to wait over 30 mins for an appetizer (meanwhile both tables either side of us received their food before us and were seated after) the server was just rude, not incredibly interested if we needed silverware after having our food served, so food sat there and got cold until she returned with silverware, finally ready to go and she switched my credit card up with another customer and then double charged me with his food as well As mine so even though they gave me a voided receipt I have to call the restaurant and get the additional Money back that was double charged on top of my meal. The food was good but just not worth the hassle .... UGH! read more

Ordered over the phone, arrived 20 minutes later, when the hostess said the order would be ready. Watched the hostess hand what I believed to be my order to another customer, but didn't think anything of it, until another 20 minutes later that same customer returned with (my order). The hostess then said they could keep it and handed them the correct order as well. After asking if that was my order, she said yes but we are remaking yours, no apology, mind you. Another 30 minutes later my order is brought out and offered a free cookie? The lack of attention to detail or regard for the very negative experience of waiting well over an hour for a take out order reflects very poorly on this restaurant. My only comment to them is do better and when you mess up, make it right, not offer a free cookie for a 70 minute wait for a salad and sandwich? Do better. read more

Visiting from out of town. Pizza was burned on the bottom and overcooked. Dry. Won't be back.

The service was wonderful. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich was good, crusty bread, flavorful sauce- the pizza not so much. It seemed like a pre baked crust with very bland toppings. It had no flavor. read more

I enjoyed going to The Cellar Restaurant for a quick meal while visiting some friends at Virginia Tech. It has a nice patio area and plenty of indoor seating. The service was a little slow, but I would attribute that to the fact that they were fairly busy. The food was decent. I got the 12-inch Greek Gyro which was really just two 6-inch Gyros. Overall, not a bad place to grab a meal at Virginia Tech. read more

Frequent this place a lot. We live in NRV seasonally. June to December. This was our 3rd visit since June. Previous two like most were great. Outdoor dining good food. This evening was our worst ever. Not sure what is going on. Seated ourselves outside. When we arrived 2 outside tables were taken. After 5-10 minutes no servers came out and one man went inside to see if they were open. Two vacant tables had un-bused dishes. Not sure about inside but 4 servers for 6 tables. Service was slow and not up to their norm. Both entrees, were just not their norm. All servers were new faces. read more

The food was great! The beer menu was interesting. Our server was pretty good. We will definitely be back.

Cellar is listed on Find Me GF as a restaurant that offers gluten free food for those that have celiac disease. I felt confident when I ordered my gluten free sandwich that I would enjoy a delicious meal that would not make me sick. Unfortunately the waiter was careless and did not record my order properly. I am now on my third day of severe symptoms caused by my meal at Cellar. Needless to say I am unhappy. If you offer Gluten Free meals it is imperative that the staff understand the importance of making sure that promise is followed through. I ask the Cellar restaurant to train their staff on the importance of being aware of food allergies. The next time a mistake is made it could be fatal. read more

Visited here while spending time with Daughter. We had the spinach artichoke dip, "Got cheesesteak" sandwich, Greek chicken plate, and individual pizza.
