Had the fish fry. More breading than fish. Breading was hard. Tartar sauce was very strange tasting. Hush puppies were not good. Did not even finish my dinner.

Graduation Dinner
I visited this restaurant after Radford graduation on May 10th, and unfortunately, my experience with the buffet was disappointing. Here are some key points:
Food Quality:
Corn Muffins: Hard and unappetizing. Rice: Cold and hard. Mashed Potatoes: Thick and cold. Lamb Chops: Delicious, a highlight of the meal. Beef: Served rare, not to my preference. Desserts: Unappealing overall. The chocolate chip cookies were hard, the apple cobbler looked unappetizing, and the chocolate cake was plain. Value:
The buffet was not worth the $45 price tag. I wished I could have ordered from the menu instead. Ambiance:
The rooftop view was beautiful, offering a scenic look at Radford Campus and the mountains. Recommendation: I do not recommend the buffet based on my experience. However, the restaurant's location and rooftop view are noteworthy.

I love the food, the area, everything was good. I would say the drink prices are a bit high but as strange as they sound they are really good.

B&B was such a disappointment last night. After 30 min wait for 2 cocktails I told the waitress to forget about it. The waitress told me that if I wanted the cocktails sooner, I should have went to the bar because the bartenders were putting the barstools ahead of the floor. Really.

Loved everything about this place! Service was super fast and nice. Food was delicious and cocktails were great. Little pricey but it’s worth it for the atmosphere and the portions were enough but not too much. Will definitely come back!

An absolute gem ahead of its time for our area. Urban ambiance meets stunning mountain views. Great destination for a date night, special occasion or happy hour.

Went to Easter buffet with my wife. The food was delicious. Great variety, jumbo shrimp, fried chicken, home made desserts. The prime rib was cooked perfectly. Server was excellent. I hope they have the Easter buffet next year!

From the beginning the Maitre de was rude and never smiled. It was a special day for us celebrating my mom’s 99th birthday. She ordered pork chops which were overcooked and very hard. It was served with a butter knife and we asked for a steak knife. Even that was hard to cut through. The menu was limited. The desserts of 4 plus 2 ice creams left us nothing to put a candle in for our celebration . It felt like a cafeteria. Not a good experience and overpriced. We won’t be going back.
Bee & Butter has become one of our go to restaurants in the New River Valley. We always have a great experience when we dine here from the food and drinks to the service. The location is convenient and provides stunning views of Radford’s campus and the surrounding mountains during each season. I highly recommend this restaurant for your casual Friday night out or a romantic dinner for two!

Bee and Butter is such a wonderful addition to Radford! It has become a favorite tradition every time we visit. We love hanging out, enjoying the signature cocktails and the beautiful scenery. Had fun with the new putt putt greens. Bummed the fire tables were not working. We would have stayed for a second round and some food.

Restaurant is beautiful and spacious. Food was delicious! We started with 2 appetizers. My husband got bbq wings. They were fresh and looked good. The pimento cheese appetizer with the pretzel crostinis was delicious and IMO some of the best pimento cheese I’ve ever had - highly recommend! The menu was smaller than most restaurants but had a great variety. I was very happy to see some vegetarian options. I had the roasted cauliflower steak and my husband had a burger. Both entrees were great. We thought the prices were fair and our service was good. Will definitely go back.
Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options
Parking: Parking was easy. We found plenty of open spots in the lot behind the hotel.
What a surprise to find such a nice restaurant in a college town. Inside is modern with clean lines. Cesar salad and corn chowder were spot on. Pork chop and salmon were amazing!

Bee and Butters food and staff are five star all around.
They went above and beyond to accommodate food allergies, and we truly can’t thank them enough. It made our families experience even better this visit.
We look forward to coming back in the near future for our daughter’s next college event.
Their attention to flavor is unmatched.
Beautiful view!
