    Duck Fat Candle
    James H.

    This place was such a cool culinary experience. I really liked the ambiance and services. The decor was quirky, cool, and funky...and the food was too. They have some of the coolest plating I have ever personally experienced. On top of my steak, which was cooked perfectly, was a duck fat candle. So cool! They really take pride in delivering a unique and super cool food experience. The bar experience was also spectacular. According to my server, the owner was the bartender that day and she was really good. I really really enjoyed the smoked old fashioned. It was my first time in Blacksburg so I didn't know what to expect, but this place blew me away. Nice Work, Twisted Liquid!!

    We stopped in for a cocktail and we're not disappointed! Drinks were delicious and the ambiance was amazing. Great little Blacksburg find!

    Amuse bouche compliments of the chef. This was lemon curd with lavender and honey pearls. Absolutely amazing.

    My husband and I went for date night last night and twisted liquid did not disappoint. I originally made reservations a two other establishments but canceled after reading their reviews. I saw the positive reviews for twisted liquid and was so excited we were able to get in. Anna served us and she was the best server I have ever had. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The drinks were so fun! The filet had an amazing seasoning and crust on it. The pork shank gave us all the feelings of comfort food at a five star establishment. We will definitely be back for our next date night!

    Incredible drinks, fantastic food, and nobody knows about it! Tech move in weekend and half the tables are empty. Crazy. Take advantage ! For little Blacksburg .. This place is the Bomb - a sanctuary of creative drinks and great food.

    My boyfriend and I stopped in here last night on a whim after dinner because we were passing by and thought it looked cool. It was incredible--he had the I Left My Wallet in El Segundo and I had the Hokie Colors, Tho and they were both delicious and beautiful cocktails! We tried the beef crostinis and the crème brûlée cheesecake and they were lovely and quick, even in the dinner rush. The bartenders were friendly and talkative, and we loved talking to them--Rachel was especially skilled. We will be back, and I'm so happy to have found such beautiful upscale dining in Blacksburg!

    Great drinks and a fun atmosphere. I came with my partner and parents and had a wonderful time. The drinks are a bit pricey so I'd recommend coming for one fun drink and then going elsewhere for additional drinks. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

    Not many vegan option available. The ambiance is great and good for Instagram. Staff was very nice but place is good for a fancy cocktail.

    The price here is an amazing value for what we thought was a really good Japanese meal…read more The sashimi Deluxe was a work of art, and really good variety of sushi. The fried rice that came with the chicken katsu don was great, smokey and flavorful from the hibachi. The unagi don comes in a nice wooden box with a lot of fish and tamago. The chicken katsu was even better than the typical katsu found at Japanese restaurants. Overall I would highly recommend Ocean Samurai, it was a great value and really great food.

    Travel for Blacksburg! Ocean Samurai has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. It's rare to…read morefind a place that balances quality, creativity, and community the way they do. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting -- not too flashy, just thoughtfully designed with a clean, modern aesthetic. It's the kind of place where you can just as easily bring your family for a quiet dinner or meet up with friends for a casual night out. The sushi here is consistently fresh and beautifully presented. I'm not someone who's easily impressed by rolls -- but Ocean Samurai's signature rolls are something else. You can tell they put real care into each dish, both in flavor and presentation. Even the rice is seasoned just right, which says a lot. I also appreciate the range of options for folks who don't eat raw fish -- their bento boxes, hibachi, and cooked items are just as good. One of the things I really love is how they've made an effort to connect with the community. It's clear they care about the people who live here, not just the students. The staffs are friendly and down-to-earth, and they always greet returning guests like family. I've had several conversations with the owners and it's obvious they're passionate about what they do. Whether it's a lunch break during the work week or a relaxing dinner on the weekend, Ocean Samurai is the kind of place that makes you proud to support a local business. I hope it stays for a long time.

    I got the Arroz Con Pollo, along with a Jumbo Pina Colada Margarita…read more This dish isn't a traditional Mexican dish - it's actually more Caribbean - but due to the massive demand for it in the South, it's a staple of menus here but not really found anywhere else in the US - that's why I had to make sure to get it while I was here as I hadn't had it before and I know this place is known for it This food was absolutely fantastic The dish came with a TON of grilled chicken pieces on rice, along with a lot of vegetables, and a cheese-like dip Starting with the chicken, it was really good, and as I mentioned, there was a lot of it it was also soft and not quite juicy - but definitely not overcooked/dry either. it was really satisfying to bite into it wasn't super well seasoned - but there was enough that it was detectable the rice itself was pretty nice and well-flavored. it wasn't anything too special but it served as a solid base for the rest of the toppings the vegetables were pretty fantastic - and served as a great complement to the chicken. I was especially a big fan of the grilled onions and the peppers, as these were cooked really well. however, the tomatoes weren't great. charging extra for these was a little strange, but I didn't mind it what really brings the dish overall together and takes it to another level is the cheese dip that mixes throughout everything if this was too cheesy - it would ruin the entire dish by making it practically inedible if it didn't have a strong flavor, the entire dish would basically feel plain however, this was just perfect. It had a hint of cheese, but most surprisingly, it had a bunch of other flavors in there too that created a sauce that coated every part of the dish and significantly increased the flavor of everything it touched this resulted in the overall meal having a comforting, deep flavor profile that was really, really good The margarita was also decent - it was super sugary and you couldn't taste the alcohol that much, but it was enjoyable to drink For the price, this was a pretty great deal. When adding the vegetables onto the ACP, it came out to around 15 dollars, and this was a really nice portion size given that price. The jumbo margarita was also a really large drink for around 9 dollars

Located close to campus, it's walking distance from most of the university and is easily accessible by bus. They have cocktail deals every day of the week, and I especially like their jumbo margaritas. I always get the mango one, and it tastes just like a smoothie. I like their quesabirria tacos, which come with a side of compote. The balance of flavors is amazing with a nice touch of cilantro and there is not too much cheese. Their cheese sauce, which comes on a lot of their rice dishes, is also delicious and really elevates the flavor. It can get very busy in the restaurant and the seats are very close together, so it can get a little loud, but the service is always very quick.

    Mellow Mushroom Blacksburg - Holy Shiitake Pizza

    Excellent food. Lots of beverage choices, including a huge selection of draft beer…read more Everything is cooked to order so it definitely takes a little longer to get your food but completely worth it.

    I've had this pizza before, and I thought it was really fantastic, so I was pretty excited to try…read moreit again Most of the pizza was pretty similar to the last time I've had it. This starts with the olive oil and garlic base - which I prefer over the traditional red sauce base for pizzas When going with this option, the pizza gets an oily, buttery, flavor that tastes really good - with an additional garlic flavor I did think it could be thicker - as the pizza did seem to be a bit on the thinner side. All three of the cheeses tasted pretty good but maybe there could've been more of it Moving on to the toppings, my favorite part by far was the mushrooms. These were just fantastic - cooked well, combined great with the olive oil base, and were really soft and juicy. The rest of the toppings weren't super noticeable, however, as I didn't taste the onions/chives that much I do have to mention how good the garlic aioli swirl was - it just adds that slight extra bit of oil/garlic flavor but only in certain spots The part that strongly disappointed me here was the crust When I've had the pizza before - it's been fantastic - but this time it was incredibly chewy and barely even edible. My jaw was in pain from chewing after finishing the crust on my very first slice. If not for this being the case in every slice of the pizza I had, I would've given this a really high score, but the crust being so bad drags this down overall significantly. Not sure what happened in this case - but I somewhat considered sending the pizza back due to it For the price, this won't beat national chains like Dominos, and I do think (certain) options at Dominos are better, but compared to other foods it's still a good enough price for a full meal

    The Milk Parlor - Ice cream sandwich

    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.

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.
