Came here for lunch on a weekday and they seemed busy. Their sandwiches were good but I didn’t like their Asian food. I think it lacked taste. I had the Asian chicken crunch salad. And it was dry and the sauce was just ok. But their servings are huge and their other non Asian style food tasted a lot better.

I've driven by this place hundreds of times, I can't believe it took me this long to get here! I was so impressed and surprised, I'm ready to go back and try every single thing on their menu. It's a place you cannot miss! Delicious food, quick and polite (and competent!) servers, lovely atmosphere, one of the best dining experiences I've had in Blacksburg.

As a small business owner, I don’t give a shout out to any business, unless it is truly worthy of raving. On our travels, it was my job to study the map in route for an independent/local restaurant. After many searches, down to the population of the town, I decided we should give Lefty’s a go. I’m usually right, but this one was the star! Holy smokes! The food set the bar for any regional competitor. I had the chef special: mahi mahi with mango salsa and chorizo risotto. Honestly, the side of zucchini and squash was basic garnish. The main focus knocked my tastebuds out of the park. The sriracha, honey and pepper flakes christened the palette. The mahi mahi was perfectly cooked, perfectly blackened outside, perfectly flakey and moist on the inside. The mango salsa with the fresh cilantro and purple onions was the perfect balance of color and taste to merge flavor to complement the fish and risotto. My husband has the salmon from the main menu and he was very satisfied with his entree. I might have been persuaded by the name, “Lefty’s”, my husband and I are both left handed, but I am so pleased, incredibly pleased with this unknown, exploratory culinary experience. Highly recommend you give’em a go. I should also mention that our college student micro biology server, was awesome.

waiting 10mins for a server to come take a drink order after being seated is a bit too long, after no one came to my table I was off to find better service & food

On a whim we chose Lefty’s for our dinner outing last night as it was close to our hotel. In a word, “wow!“ Service was prompt and courteous and the food was simply fantastic. One of my favorite Southern dishes is shrimp and grits and this place knocked it out of the park! The steak chimichurri and sides were also very flavorful and the steak was cooked perfectly to order. We left (no pun intended) quite pleased.

I had the Philly Cheesesteak with onion rings. The Cheesesteak was very good , the onion rings were so-so. More batter than onion.

I’m sorry but I have never been impressed by the food at this restaurant, I have tried it a couple times in the past and I don’t like the hard bread.

Food was so tasty!!! The ham sandwich and onion rings were my favorite. Also very affordable.
Very good diner-style food with a bar. The burgers were made to order and served on a soft Kaiser roll. The onion rings were great. Good selection of draught beer.

The brewery associated with Lefty’s is no longer operating. Either way the service was fantastic (informative and attentive), the food and atmosphere was good. We had a basic cheeseburger and a side salad. Their fries were cooked perfectly, though I was not a huge fan of the spice mixture (I tasted cumin) on them. Others that love cumin might. It would be cool if they offered it as an option.

Tonight on my way home I decided to do a quick pickup for Lefty’s , I was told they had updated the menu with a few new items, I’m not sure about anything except I heard spinach ravioli, with lemon sauce!! My favorite dinner item.
I have eaten a lot of spinach ravioli with lemon sauce but this has to be the best, I have ever eaten, perfect balance of flavors. Great presentation. It’s just plain delicious!

Not only was the food delicious, but my son left his retainer on the table, and they dug through the trash to find it for him! They went above and beyond to help us!
Jeff was fun, thanks
