The Blacksburg Tavern

Blacksburg Tavern is delicious. I don't normally get excited about fried chicken, but theirs is exemplary. The biscuits are also excellent. As a small criticism, I'd say their other proteins are far outshone by the chicken and some of their sides (particularly the vegetables) can be bland. But it is still well worth a visit.

Had a delightful meal on a lovely Blacksburg evening. The quaint structure is the oldest home from the original “16 squares” of downtown Blacksburg. We were warmly greeted by the owner when we walked in the door and were immediately seated. An adequate bar with good bourbon choices. I had the signature fried chicken that took me back to childhood days at my grandmother’s house. Can’t wait to go back and try the other entrees that are all good southern comfort food classics. Bottom line—a good home style southern meal in a unique setting!

Cute!! What an adorable dinner stop! Our waitress was super friendly and fast. The overall ambiance of the place is so cozy and quaint. Dinner was great- who doesn’t love country ham and cornbread? From the decor of the dining rooms, to the hardwood floors, to the wooden tables and chairs, to the fresh flowers on every table, all the small details were clearly doted on with the dining experience in mind. The owner is also very friendly and stoped by our table to say hi.

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.
