The Blacksburg Tavern

Had a delicious meal at a beautiful Blacksburg evening. The picturesque structure is the oldest house from the original “16 squares” of downtown Blacksburg. We were warmly welcomed by the owner when we went to the door and sat immediately. A reasonable bar with good Bourbon selections. I had the signed fried chicken that brought me back to childhood in my grandmother's house. Can't wait to go back and try the other entrees that are all good south comfort classics. Bottom line – a good style south meal in a unique environment!

My husband and I choose this place for my birthday dinner and it was the best decision. When we came in, it felt like a home. The owner is wonderful, he takes his guest seriously and so are the employees. Our server was so nice. I would say the menu is limited. For us who only eat chicken, we had only one option, but I must tell you that their signature buttermilk marinated chicken is a liter. We had hot cherry cake with ice cream for dessert and Uncle Don/Aunty Gini for drinking and they were also lit. Totally great experience.

Truly appreciate the history of the home and to support local venues. This was our first time here. We enjoyed our dinner on the porch. It was relaxing and felt homey. The food was good quality, hot, and service was great. Highly recommend.

Visiting from Iowa. Loved the Blacksburg Tavern’s historical ambiance. We were greeted by Dan, the owner, who shared the history of the tavern. The food was a delicious tribute to southern family style cooking. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. We ended the evening with an impressive flight of Virginia bourbons. Our only regret was not trying the cobbler. A great evening.

The food is absolutely amazing. The cornbread is the best cornbread I've had. Highly recommend the chicken and the meatloaf. They had succotash as the season vegetable and it was amazing. We did the family style two meats and it was plenty of food for two people with room for dessert. Highly recommend!!
