If I could give this place a smaller rating I would. I have frequented 622 North on numerous occasions since their opening. When they first opened I (and my adult friends) were very excited to have what we hoped would be a classy, adult, restaurant/wine bar that we could go to for all of our celebrations, luncheons, birthday parties, etc. However, what we found instead was an understaffed restaurant with over priced food whose owner does not appreciate the residents of Blacksburg who support locally run businesses. When you first walk into 622 North there is rarely anyone at the front door to greet you and I have had to walk all the way back to the kitchen on several occassions in order to find an employee that could seat us. Once seated, there never seems to be more than 1 or 2 waitstaff therefore the service is terrible and you can expect to wait at least 15 minutes for a greeting and a glass of water. The food is mediocre to bad and is definitely overpriced for the area and what they have to offer. But the worst part of the whole place is the owner, Frank Perkovich. My party of 8 adult women had an unfortunate incident with one of the staff recently and when we emailed Mr. Perkovich to convey our issue we were met with a response so unprofessional and rude that it was hard to read. However, Mr. Perkovich made it very clear that he does not value the people of Blacksburg who have supported his business since their opening. Needless to say, Mr. Perkovich has now succeeded in losing the support of my family, friends, wine tasting group, gourmet group and other civic organizations to which I belong. As a matter of fact, we will no longer be frequenting his other restaurant either. read more

The interior and atmosphere were very nice, but the food left much to be desired. Slightly overcooked fish and chicken. Very plain meals that I could make at home for WAY cheaper. Very nice wine selection though. Also, our server had the personality of a door knob. read more

I was at 622 North on a recent Saturday night with three other people. When we arrived around 7:20 there was a sign on the door that said they would be closing at 8pm for a private party. We decided to pop in and see if they would still seat us and they were extremely accommodating. There was still a 25 minute wait though so we went into the bar side to have a drink. Although the bar is now smoke free it still reeks of previous smoke. However, we found a table and proceeded to order drinks. After waiting for a little while the hostess actually come into the bar and found us to tell us our table was ready. Our waitress was extremely helpful and friendly. I wish I could remember her name, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. We ordered the charcuterie and daily cheese plate to start which were both delicious. The dish that I personally had was the Portobello Brie Sandwich with french fries. The bread that the sandwich came on was fabulous, I only wish that there was a little more brie to go with all the portobello! The fries are actually seasoned fries which was a nice surprise as well. Other dishes that my party ordered were the Roast Pepper Alfredo, which I thought had a good flavor, but it seemed a little dry, and the 622 House Salad. The salad was beautiful, but the lime-cilantro dressing stole the show. It was amazing! We also got the Sausage Pizza for the table to try. I didn't personally have a slice, but there was so much gooey cheese that the others seemed to enjoy. The patrons were definitely more of the local, Blacksburg type, not many students at all, which was nice. However, the bar side did seem to have more students/younger crowd. I've read some of the other reviews that said the restaurant seemed understaffed, but I honestly thought it was maybe slightly overstaffed because I kept looking up and feelings like we were being watched as we ate. But we were also there right before they were going to close and there was only one other table by the time we left. Would definitely go back as I'm dying to try the Risotto Cakes which I was deciding between when I ordered. read more

622 is great for a casual bite or for a night out with the wife. They always gave good beer and wine specials, and I have never been disappointed with the food. read more

My favorite place in Blacksburg! Great food, service, atmosphere and wine bar!! They often have live music as well, so definitely a great place. read more

What a find in Blacksburg! In all honesty, i have only been to the wine bar area but the overall atmosphere is very unique to the area. The "house" is divided into 3 main area's - main restaurant, wine/beer bar and a regular bar with pool tables/tv's/etc (which is seperated for noise purposes). They have a piano player that sits in the main dining area that can also be heard in the wine bar. I have been to the wine bar on 2 different occasions and both have been very good experiences. Within the wine bar, they have booths, tables as well as a few leather couches/chairs. The service is very good. The hostess was very nice and explained their layout and then took me to the requested wine bar area. Both times i have sat in the leather sofa section. Not only did the server check on me quite often, the hostess came by on occasion to make sure everything was all right. For food, i have only had the appitizers. I have had the spinach artichoke dip and the buffalo chicken flatbread pizza. Both were really good and seemed very fresh. I have seen entree's ordered within the wine bar area and they have each looked very good as well. The wine list has lots of whites and reds to choose from. The hostess mentioned that they have a few staples but they also rotate the list quite often. The wines are priced very fair which allows you to venture out and try different styles. Overall, i rate this a great experience in Blacksburg. It definitely different from other restaurants in the area and its obvious from their attention to service that they are trying hard to succeed! read more

The experience tonight was good. The restaurant was busy so make sure you make reservations. The meal was prepared excellent for the four of us and everyone enjoyed their choices. A small issue was the server was a little unfocused and did not do things like remove used plates for the table, fill water glasses or follow up as we were seated. She needed to manage the table better. We will be back for the food and hopefully more attentive service. read more

Love the beer club and the great rotating variety they have! With out a doubt my favorite brunch location but really all of their food is fantastic! Great place for an evening out when you want something a little nicer, or you can stay on the Frank's side and enjoy a more laid back atmosphere with lots of evening entertainment! read more

Inside porch decor. Pleasant enough except for surly service from a male waiter. After the poor service, we found a compulsory tip of 20% for our party of six. I called the restaurant later and asked if this policy was on the menu; they said it was not. The custom of the country is 15% and sometimes 18%, but 622 North encourages their servers to do the least for the most. Bad idea. read more

We have eaten here numerous times. In my book, you can make great food once and your good - but to do it consistently earns special honors. This place does it all the time. This morning we went for the brunch - I had the 622 Benedict Royale. AWESOME! The smoked salmon and avacado made it out of this world! My wife had the 622 Benedict - the standard version. She loved it! This restaurant knows how to bring it. We have had dinner here many times. The service and food are 5 star! Blacksburg deserves a place like 622 North Main. read more

This place is such a mess. The food is so incredibly mediocre, especially given the price. The only thing that is good is the sourdough bread. I think the quality to price ratio may make it the worst restaurant in Blacksburg. The risotto is a weird rice soup, the sandwiches are pretty mediocre, and I'm not really sure I want to try anything else. If you are forced to go here by someone for whatever reason, order a salad. That is the least terrible option that I have tried. read more

It doesn't seem like their are too many restaurants in Blacksburg that don't cater to the college population, and this seems to be one of them. I was in the mood for a burger and the chorizo burger caught my eye: chorizo sausage and ground angus burger, garlic aioli, smoked gouda, peach salsa and lettuce. It was unique and flavorful, which is all I could ask for. Hard to go wrong with this. read more

So we came back to try the main dining area. First thing I noticed was the menu was slightly different than what was available on the Franks side and the list of drafts had changed. We ate from the Chefs Table menu, which was a choice of appetizer, salad, and entree for a set price. Everything was pretty good, except the main dish. I'd ordered Jerk Pork, and was expecting something with flavor and seasoning, not a very mild almost tasteless clump of meat. The sides were good, the appetizer was good, and the salad fine. My wife didn't have any complaints or compliments on her main entree, a shrimp pasta. I don't know I want to give them a third try, considering the price. read more

Not worth it. Taste is ok-ok but you can definitely find better for lesser cost. * They have a huge wine collection and I haven't tried it. read more

So we actually didnt eat here. So i can only speak on the experience and service. We walk in and there is a sign that says wait for a host. We wait, people that seem to work there walk by, but no one says anything to us. We were confused. We see a group of people leave so we sit down at their old dirty table, hoping someone will come and clean it. We ask the table next to us how to order, they say you need to go up to a counter. The menu was on a tablet, but you could not order through the tablet. No one came to clean our table. We ended up leaving because of the confusion and lack of service. If you do go i hope you understand the service model at this place better than us. read more

From start to finish we really enjoyed our experience here! Service was prompt, informative, and friendly. Started with a dirty martini and fried green tomatoes, both were delicious! Decided to have the filet for the main, perfection! Finished with a nice port and a lemon cheesecake. We will return for sure! read more

After more than a year's hiatus, I've visited 622 North three times in the last month; twice for dinner, and once for Sunday Brunch. The Restaurant is now much improved over the opening, really hitting it's stride. Main courses are excellent--my last was quail fried in a light cornmeal batter. The risotto cake appetizer was excellent. For brunch I had the house version of eggs benedict with cappicola instead of canadian bacon. I am looking forward to returning and to trying one of the Prix Fixe "Market menu" meals. I agree with Jacob R. that this restaurant now offers the highest level of dining in Blacksburg. All they need to do now is get rid of the tacky plastic "coca-cola" water glasses from the previous establishment (Bogen's). read more

We went with a party of 8 and were seated in the wine tasting room. The pianist played a very lite sweet melody and the ambiance itself was a nice quiet, and peaceful. We were promptly offered drinks, appetizers and quickly recieved our orders. Sam, the manager, visited our table, offered main dish suggestions and chatted with us for a few minutes. Our server was very knowledgable with each dish and drink. Our food was delicious. I was the sun dried ravioli with corn, greens, and asparagus, delicoius! Their spinach and artichoke dip was creamy and served with nicely toasted bread bites. It really was a wonderful experience for a little charge. I highly reccomend this place! We also had our wedding rehearsal dinner here. Wonderful service, wonderful food, and a warm friendly staff. We couldn't have asked for more! read more

It's hard to write a review for this place. It is either hit or miss. Sometimes, it's great to sit in the booths at the wine bar and drink wine and chat. Their appetizers have always been amazing, but there is just always something "off" about the entrees. What? I'm not sure. They just seem like they could be better. Also, they used to have an awesome wine expert (Courtney) and she left...ever since she quit it just isn't the same. read more

I've been to both the upstairs restaurant and the downstairs bar and they were both nice. Just nothing special. The food upstairs was good. It was nearly empty though. And my stepmom who was in town didn't like the wine list. Downstairs was just too loud to function. We ate our food (which was just ok), had a drink or two (good price as much as I could tell), and ditched so my friends and I could actually speak to one another. read more

Thank heavens for a fine dining location in Blacksburg. However, there are a few things that I think they could do. First the pros - *extremely well-knowledged sommelier that really knew his wines. It also is terrific that they offer flights of wine, which is a great way to taste other wines and find new brands. *The restaurant is bright and cozy, and while you can't eat ambiance, it certainly helps to make the overall dining experience. * Love their melted garlic butter for dipping French bread. * Went there two nights in a row - the steak (Delmonico) that I had the first night was terrific - prepared just right and very tasty (and an appropriate price as well). * Waiter made me a chocolate martini even though it's not on their menu - very accommodating. The cons - * $3.00 for bread for the table? Really? * Steak salad on my second night had overcooked steak tips (chewable, but overdone), and minimal blue cheese and bacon. * Apple tart dessert was tasteless and the crust was mushy. * Parking lot is too small for the combined business of a bar and restaurant. My bad, but my car got towed due to parking in a closed business' lot while at dinner. (Non game weekend). Although parking is a problem ANYWHERE in Blacksburg. read more

I am over 622 and Frank's. I keep going back only to be disappointed. The service is absolutely awful. On the 622 side the staff always talks down to you as if you don't know a thing about food. I had dinner there one evening and my chicken was raw. On the Frank's side the food always comes out cold. I went for brunch on Sunday and ordered the Thai Omelette. It was served cold along with cold potatoes. The wait staff never came back to see how things were going. When it came time to pay a different staff member brought us our check. When I told her that my meal was cold she said I should have told her earlier. I would have if someone would have checked in on us. There are far better places to eat in Blacksburg. read more

The angus burger wasn't very tasty. The fries were good. The Presentation was nice. The service was lacking because they offered additional wine to our guests, but didn't promptly refill water glasses. Do not order the tiramisu! It was dry and the worst one we ever ate. My wife had the fried green tomatoes and the single serving chicken pot pie and loved both of them. They were very delicious. The apple pie with ice cream was good as well. read more

Visited 622 North for the first time for brunch and it was excellent. The pancakes were sweet and savory and wonderfully fluffy. The bacon was crispy and tasty as well as the potatoes. The only complaint I have is that they're very busy Sunday mornings so I would recommend calling ahead or do not plan on coming here in a worry, but the food is definitely worth the wait. read more

Great salads, loved the Cuban sandwich. No waiting on a Thursday night! Good selection of wine and beer...all in all, very worth the price!

Hadn't been to 622 in a while, and had always enjoyed it before. Not tonight. Burger overdone, wrong side, appetizer didn't come, burger rolls tasted off... Disappointing read more

I visited 622 North with my husband for the first time for lunch this week and loved it! I ordered the Gorgonzola Flatbread Pizza and loved the flavors, especially the fresh spinach on top. My husband ordered the Cuban Sandwich and was also very pleased. I really enjoyed the atmosphere which was bright and cheery, it was like being outdoors but inside. The wine bar was beautiful and elegant and I plan to visit this one evening after work. :) Overall, I would highly recommend 622! read more

For Blacksburg, this place is perfect for date night or brunch! Typically, the service is on point and the servers are very attentive and continuously replenish your water. From appetizers to desserts, the food is delicious and is served within a reasonable time frame. You cannot go wrong with sausage pizza. It has sundried tomatoes and alfredo sauce! The salads are also a pretty large serving. I have also had the soft shell crab and roasted red pepper pasta for dinner and they are flavorful and a filling serving. The french toast at brunch is delicious and comes with a side of sorbet! read more

Well, I wish I could give a better review, I really do. But 622N bar area just hasn't been the same lately and I just don't see going back any time soon. This used to be my favorite place for beer in the area. But the interior needs updating badly, the beer is expensive, the service sucks, and the AC is on the roaps on a hot night. Last time I had the cheese platter it was sad compared to what it should be (go to Blue Mountain to see a nice one). Burger was overcooked. Beer selection was OK but expensive. I guess their price reference is the BB Taphouse, which is also overpriced. I've been here many times and the place is headed in the wrong direction. Dissappointing, I used to like this place. read more

This is by far the best restaurant in Blacksburg (that I've tried so far - but Blacksburg really lacks in good dining options - both taste-wise and in terms of atmosphere). It has a decent atmosphere, has had a pianist playing music the two times that I've been there, and has nice menu options. I've gotten the barramundi (fish) options each time I've been there, and they've been pretty darn delicious. My husband got a tasty pasta option the first time and the second time, he ordered the bacon, blue cheese burger and it was fairly disappointing, which was a bummer. Wish list: I wish it stayed open later on the weekends and that they'd spiff up the decor more to make it a more special and interesting atmosphere. But other than that, it's definitely worth checking out for a nice dinner out. read more

After reading the negative reviews I checked to see if it was the same location. Our service was outstanding. We had Doug as our server. He was knowledgeable and attentive. We started with the 622 miles. Best one ever!! I had the pork chop and made changes with veggies etc. No problem. It was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. My husband had the rib eye steak that also was good. I would stop here again when we were in Blacksburg. It was a relaxing, enjoyable evening. read more

I came as part of a corporate event and our menu was shortened to accommodate a group of 30. Everyone seemed to like all of the options that were served, and I didn't hear any complaints or see any food sent back. read more

Though a bit pricey, both the food and the ambiance are some of the best you'll find in Blacksburg. I've gone twice already, loved it both times, and intend to return. read more

I'm giving it four stars on the basis of dinner. Brunch was a disappointment. The brunch menu sounded great, lots of interesting southern-inspired choices such as fried trout, shrimp and grits, and a crazy pancake sub consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, and tomatoes layered between three pancakes. Unfortunately, everything was disappointingly bland. My benedict royale of poached eggs, smoked salmon, avocado, green onion, and bechemel sauce somehow tasted like a plain old egg sandwich without cheese, salt, or pepper. How did the salmon, avocado, green onion, and bechemel disappear? Maybe a different chef from dinnertime, when I have had much better experiences? I wished I had gone to Gillie's instead. read more

Meatloaf was best I've ever had. Wait time was considerably long, but lobby was comfortable. Staff is very professional ANC attempt to make you feel as though you're at a high end restaurant read more

622 is a great convenient downtown Blacksburg upscale dining experience with good steaks and specials, and good service. We highly recommend it. read more

622 North has a reputation as being one of the more fancy restaurants in the Blacksburg area and I certainly can not argue with that. The waiters have always been polite and well knowledge on the dishes being served that night or the wine/beer pairings that would complement your dish. That being said, the food itself has disappointed my high expectations. read more

Excellent service the food was exceptional, my steak was great. We loved the fried green tomatoes. Was great seeing all the families enjoying their meals. read more

I like what they've done with the place. Our friends told us the bar has a lot of beers on tap and is a fun place to hang out, but we were there for brunch and I was hungry. Service was great, coffee fill-up, adequate. My wife ordered the Benedict Florentine and said is was great. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with grits instead of potatoes. Grits=awesome (makes me wish I had tried the shrimp 'n grits), eggs over medium were perfect, bacon nice and crispy; biscuits were good, however the gravy fell short. I felt like I was getting the last of the gravy at the bottom of the pot after all the chunks of sausage had already been spooned out. Or maybe they don't do chunky sausage in their gravy, which I would argue is a mistake. On a scale of 1-10 gravy gets a 5. It's time to step up that gravy game. read more

We didn't have a reservation so they offered a table outside with a 15 minute wait. 30 minutes later, still no action. But, why not? ALL of the tables have been empty since we walked in. Don't offer a table if you're not going to let us use one. read more
