Great food (amazing cornbread, brisket and meatloaf); atmosphere perfect; service on point. Enjoyed everything especially the strains of blue grass keeping us entertained throughout dinner.
Ate here during the stepping out festival for the first time. The food was fantastic, the story was good, the prices were very fair. I do wish there was a kids menu but splitting one plate with an extra side more than filled my kids up. The staff even brought extra plates, which is nice because not everywhere thinks to do that. I plan to go back.

House turned into restaurant. Very friendly and attentive staff. Other patrons were friendly too. Fried chicken was their specialty as well as the meatloaf. Blueberry pie tasted homemade!

We stopped here for dinner while on a motorcycle trip in July 2025. Sat at the bar and had a couple local pints and some southern food. Meatloaf and fried chicken were both excellent. Talked to the owner Dan for awhile about the history of the place and the great paintings on the walls. Excellent spot - recommended!
Stopped in for a drink. Amazingly friendly staff and owner. Has good conversations with the owner and staff. Learned a lot about the history and how this place came about. Highly recommend stopping in!

Not since The Homeplace and The Roanoker closed have we had good fried chicken ... until today! It was hot, fresh, crispy outside and juicy inside. Delicious sides, homemade Biscuit and cornbread too. Dan, the owner, greeted us, checked to be sure we were satisfied. Run, don't walk, to experience great food on Main Street in downtown Blacksburg!
Best fried chicken in VA. Charming historic looking house turned into a restaurant. The Proprietor always comes over to ask how the experience is. Their hokie and gobbler bowls are tasty piles of sides and proteins that work very well together. Check them out!

It's a restaurant that in an old historic building in downtown. The food is classic southern fare. My husband had the fried chicken which was AMAZING. I had the meatloaf which was also fantastic. The cocktails are great as well. If you remember Home Place is reminded me very much of that place. Highly recommend!

Really a delightful place to have Easter brunch! Bright and sunny front room with very classy murals hand painted on the walls. Brisket was excellent and perfectly done, and my daughter really enjoyed the ham and fried apples.

Very nice owner and workers, good food and cozy environment. It’s very authentic place to eat. It feels like I’m eating Christmas dinner at my grandparents house when I eat here. Great place to get some southern culture !

My family and I enjoyed one of the best meals and ambiance we have had in a very long time. Tavern owner was very friendly and attentive along with the staff. Food and homemade desserts were incredibly delicious, blueberry pie out of this world and exploding with flavor. Highly recommended!
