Lovely service. The owner Dan is super nice and so is the whole staff! With great rustic food of course.

Had a birthday lunch here this past weekend. Service was great but food was just lousy. Good cornbread and biscuits but the brisket was less than average and the meatloaf in my son's meatloaf sandwich was inedible. The chicken had a chance but was over fried and wouldn't be surprised if it was flash fried left overs from the day before. Service was great but would definitely not be a place my family would come back to

What a great find! Friendly staff, cute venue, and the best fried chicken I've ever had. Awesome apple butter with the biscuit too. Would highly recommend.

Went here for the first time last night (Sunday 09/21/2025, around 7:30 pm) with a friend to check it out and try the Kentucky Bourbon Flight. We had no wait to sit in the bar area, and we were served very quickly yet with no sense of us being rushed. The bourbon was great, and I tried the cornbread as well, which was the best I've had-- it was like cake, especially topped with the apple butter.
Overall, an excellent experience. Friendly bartender and owner, reasonable prices for the high quality, and clean, with a calm and cozy interior.

A great addition to downtown Blacksburg. An owner who knows to lean into a simple menu and do it well.
Interior captures the history of the place without being over the top.
My only regret is not trying the moonshine flight. (Yes, you read that right.)

The fried chicken was so Good and so wad the Pimento mac and cheese however the apple pie and ice cream dessert was one of the best apple pies I ever had!! The atmosphere, the staff and the owner were top notch. It is hard to find a place anymore in America that still cares about what they offer to their customers. The Blacksburg Tavern does it all right! Thank you!!! *****

This place is home. It is amazing. It was the best home cooked food. Great food takes time. So be patient. The staff is super nice. Love the atmosphere as well. THIS IS A MUST PLACE TO GO
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!
