Wish they would have had brisket the night we went. Service was wonderful from April. We tried family style which was not cheap, but it was so good. Love the vibe of the place and it was not crowded on a Saturday night.

Loved the owner, our waiter, and the music. The menu was mighty limited and just ok. Additions to the variety would be my recommendation.

All around experience was good. Got a brisket and chicken salad that tasted great and got plenty of it. Waitress was excellent at her job and owner was friendly. I definitely recommend this place to eat at.

The food was exceptional! Another review states that “this place is everything you want Cracker Barrel to be” and that’s exactly how we felt. True southern home cooking in a nicely restored colonial style home in downtown Blacksburg.
When we arrived were greeted by the owner who was the host and he’s was very polite. You can tell that he really appreciated everyone for coming to eat there. We waited for 40 minutes on a Friday night to eat. They have rocking chairs on the porch where you can wait.
Once we sat down we ordered the family style with the ham, fried chicken and brisket. All of the meat and sides were delicious.
This place is a must when you are in Blacksburg!

The owner and staff were absolutely incredible! So friendly and accommodating on a crazy busy Friday parents weekend. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and the service was top notch! We look forward to coming back from Philly when we visit our little Hokie again!

This place is everything you wish cracker barrel was. Preparing and serving a good meal is an art, and the end result was a masterpiece. I would come back to Blacksburg even if the tavern was my only reason to visit. Their brisket was incredible

I normally don't write reviews unless I have had a pretty bad experience or a pretty amazing one. This review is because I had an amazing experience with a couple of family members at The Blacksburg Tavern last night (9/5).
I am actually upset with myself that I have been sleeping on this gem of a restaurant. A great friend couldn't stop talking about how good the fried chicken was. Because of that recommendation, I had some of the best fried chicken that I have had in a very long time. I got the fried chicken plate. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the breading was crunchy and seasoned perfectly. I got a breast and a wing with mashed potatoes and green beans. If it were socially acceptable, I would have licked the plate after finishing the mashed potatoes. The green beans....chef kiss. Oh and the cornbread! If you like sweet cornbread, you will love theirs. All of that delicious food, and a drink for under $20 before the tip!
One family member ordered the fried chicken plate with their pimento mac and cheese. When we were leaving they said that, that was the best meal that they have had out in a very long time. The other family member ordered the meatloaf sandwich with the pimento mac and cheese. They had leftovers and were pretty excited to have it for lunch today.
I can not recommend The Blacksburg Tavern enough. The service was amazing, and the owner checked on us and thanked us multiple times for coming in. This restaurant will now be in a my rotations of favorite places.
They should offer a chicken and cornbread tailgate box! They would sell so many of those bad boys.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, owner is super nice 10/10

We went for dinner on a Saturday night at 6 pm. We were seated immediately. We met the owner, Dan, who is very friendly and made us feel welcomed. My daughter ordered the fried chicken, my wife ordered the meatloaf, and I had the beef brisket. The food was delicious! Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and properly attentive (not too much, not too little, just right!). We will definitely be back the next time we visit Blacksburg!
Parking: Parking lot is located behind the tavern.

Amazing food and wonderful service. A welcoming and unique atmosphere. We came into town for a football game and would come back just for this food.
