Owner greets you at the door, food comes quickly and is really good. It’s not heavy by any means like other restaurants of this nature.

Stopped to eat here on our way to Tennessee. Tavern was very quaint, our server, Kaya who was so pleasant and was very attentive. Food was amazing!! Delicious southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes were outstanding!! Prices were not bad either. The owner, Dan came and introduced himself to us and to check how our dinner was. All and all was a great place to eat!!

Definitely recommend. Owner and host Dan was very friendly, fried chicken plate lives up to the strong reviews, and biscuits were amazing as well. All sides were well worth it. Pleasant atmosphere with bluegrass tunes. Would come back for sure next time I’m in Blacksburg or the area.

Simply best place to eat in Blacksburg, the fried chicken and the brisket are cooked to perfection! Their service is top-notch!
If you are visiting your Hokie and you want them to experience the closest to a home-made delicious meal go to the Blacksburg Tavern!

I had the pleasure of eating at the Blacksburg Tavern for dinner on 1/27/2024 with my wife. We were greeted warmly by the owner upon our arrival. His greeting was so warm and welcoming that it felt like we were family coming to dinner. The decor is stunning with world-class murals and tons of historic photos. Our server was spry and warm. On to the food. I'm a self-proclaimed biscuit snob and I can say the biscuits were the best I've ever had(don't tell my grandma). I had the fried chicken, cole slaw, and pimento mac and cheese. And the chicken was perfect. The cole slaw was just on the too-sweet side but I know most people like it that way and the pimento mac and cheese was divine. We also had the pie and ice cream. It was a blueberry pie and I believe in restaurant churned ice cream and it was the perfect end to an amazing meal. If I ever make it back to Blacksburg this is the 1st restaurant I will be dining at.

Historic inside and comfortable. Food was hot and delicious. Recommend The Gobbler Bowl especially if it’s cold outside! Mac and cheese, apple butter and cornbread were tasty too! The owner sat us and welcomed us. Recommend reading the back story. House is the oldest house on Main St built in 1892. Highly recommend!

Other than it can get a little loud there is just nothing to complain about. The food is excellent, you may have had several of the items on the menu but not like this. Truly the dishes although familiar have a different and even though it pains me to say, better flavor than Mom's! Service is great, staff are good at their job, friendly and personable.
Eating here was one of the experiences I've ever had! I felt like I was sent back to 1850 when I walked in- old southern tunes were playing, everything was made of wood, and it just felt rustic.I came on a Sunday for lunch and it was very quiet. Service was quick and efficient and I ended up going with the brisket burger with apples. The food was great, with the exception being the cole slaw which I found too sweet. The brisket was some of the best I ever had though.Blacksburg Tavern isn't for everyone, but if you want an authentic southern experience, this is definitely the spot!
