    Easy to see sign in small strip mall
    Hana O.

    Came here for a late lunch after flying in from L.A. The decor and ambiance are really fun, quirky & nostalgic items all over the walls, ceiling. Very much had a TGIF restaurant vibe (if anyone remembers that chain). Service was horrible. Took us forever to get the menu and then more time to get our orders in. It's VT graduation week so you'd think restaurants would have more staff but since it was an off-hour, they only had 1 waitress for our area of the large restaurant. There were tons of menu items to choose from, mostly sandwiches. Everything tasted fine, nothing to rave about. My graduate said the service is always slow regardless of time or season. Macado's is probably better as a bar than as a full-service restaurant. But all the kitschy objects & items around the restaurant will keep kids enthralled & occupied during the long wait for food. Not sure I'd go back.

    20 boneless wings (half spicy Thai, half bang bang sauce)

    From the outset, you might think that this is an old college dive bar that has been around forever and seen generations of Virginia Tech students. You would be right. I stopped by on a Thursday night to grab a quick dinner while in town for a job interview. The only reason I can't give this place 5/5 stars is because of the service: I stood for nearly 10 minutes at the hostess station waiting for someone to seat me. Multiple staff members walked by, clearly saw me, and didn't do anything to offer a table or even say "please hold on, we'll be right with you." I was finally able to get a seat at the bar and even there, I sat for a few minutes before the bartender offered me a menu or to get a drink. Besides this, the rest of the experience was positive. Macado's menu is massive! If you love sandwiches, this is the place for you. I ordered the Ziegfield's club, which included hot pastrami, corned beef, salami, swiss cheese, coleslaw, tomato, and Thousand Island dressing on three layers of rye bread. It was a warm, savory, juicy, delectable mess that I would order again instantly. I got the potato salad as my side which was filled with big chunks of potatoes and the perfect ratio of mayonnaise. Because it was a Thursday and they were doing a half price special, I got 20 boneless wings (half spicy Thai, half bang bang sauce). The flavors were so good and I liked all the extra blue cheese dressing they provided for dipping. I washed it all down with two pints from the local Three Notch'd Brewing Company. The food was fantastic and I had more than enough to bring home. I can see why Macado's is such a local treasure and I would not hesitate in the least to stop in again.

    Came here with my family on a Friday evening - there were people for sure, but it wasn't too crowded. Service-wise, I have absolutely no complaints. My server was great - orders went in quick; my mom's continuous requests to have her hot water mug filled up were done very promptly, and the food came quickly. However, the food was quite average, and probably below average. I got the Big City Jazz, which was a sandwich that had bacon, turkey, avocado, and some vegetables. I felt like the sandwich wasn't seasoned well, even though it had so much on it. The portions were about normal. Pricing was quite fair, however. Macado's isn't a bad spot, but I didn't have a great time and probably won't be back (for food at least).

    Buffalo chicken wrap

    Visited a few weeks ago when I was back in Blacksburg and while the food is always great, the service was really slow. It took us almost 10 minutes to be seated and another 10 minutes to order drinks. The food was quick but paying took a little while too. We visited during the summer when school was out so it was not busy at all. I did order the buffalo chicken wrap and it was very good and the fries were excellent, I just wish we got faster service.

    Macado's is a great place to take someone visiting Blacksburg. From the decor to the massive menu, there's truly nothing else like it in Blacksburg. The menu may be overwhelming to some, but it also means that there's something for everyone. They recently started offering gluten free buns which is exciting because a lot of their menu is served on bread or buns. While their kitchen does not have a devoted gluten free section, they were careful in making us aware of possible cross contamination. I chose to get the Gibson girl grilled cheese on gluten free bread. I was disappointed that the bread was not grilled, but I'm assuming that was to limit cross contamination so I appreciate it. The bread was more of a bun, so next time I am going to get a more hearty sandwich (or a burger) so the bread doesn't overpower the toppings.

    Macado's definitely was not what I was expecting tonight. They had their Sunday night .39 cent wings which is a complete steal. However, it only applies to boneless chicken, and they are not very good. Honey BBQ is probably my favorite flavor but too much of it will get pretty sauce heavy. The wings are somewhat small and just do not taste very good. We also had to wait about an hour and a half for the wings but we were told before hand we were going to have to wait for about an hour so not a problem there. Would not come again unless you want some cheap wings that don't taste the best. Maybe I should've gotten traditional.

    Mac and cheese burger
    Michael C.

    Macado's is one of the coolest spots I've been to in Blacksburg! The vibe of the whole restaurant was authentic. Service was phenomenal on a busy Friday night, and the food came out in reasonable time. The burger was okay, it had Mac and cheese and crushed potato chips for "crunch". The Mac and cheese was not very good and the chips were soggy and didn't add any crunch. The fries were also very mediocore. The spinach artichoke dip was pretty good though. If it was a tad hotter when we got it, it would've been much better but I understand that because it was busy, it may not have been as great. The totchos are a must try at Macado's! It's everything you love in nachos but with crispy and fluffy tater tots. The only downside to the appetizer was the overwhelming amount of nacho cheese. My girlfriend got the turkey and bacon sandwich and it was huge. I wish I could've gotten a picture! It tasted great too. She got the house made chips as well which are much better than the fries. They were crispy and salted very well. Macado's is known for its "over sliced" sandwiches and that what I should've gone with. I would stay away from the burgers but definitely give the sandwiches and totchos a try if you are near VT and looking for a good family lunch or dinner!

    It's been at least 10 years since I've visited Bull & Bones. This establishment opened in 2008 in a…read morenew shopping center that highlighted Blacksburg's growth. I remember my visit was a special one as it was busy, yet the service and food were impeccable. Bull & Bones put their best foot forward that night and I left Blacksburg thinking that B&B was one reliable dining spot. Neal & I returned on 11/15/25 to check out Tech's football game at Florida State (our hotel wasn't televising the game). We were in town to check out VT v. Charlotte - a basketball game that featured some promising young talent for the Hokies. Of course, I arrived at B&B with high hopes since my previous experience was a memorable one. Unfortunately, my latest visit wasn't quite as good. The evening began well enough - there were plenty of available seats at the bar and we were greeted almost immediately. Our server was nice and pleasant, and returned with our drink orders promptly. We took a few minutes to look over the menu and we were able to order without issue. We weren't in a rush, and the vibe was fairly chill. I didn't expect top tier service, but there were stretches in which an employee couldn't be located in order to get continued service. For example, our server was cut (yet no one informed us) - we didn't see her after she took our dinner orders. I looked around constantly to ask for another round of drinks, but she wasn't around. While waiting for our entrees, what appeared to be the manager on duty stopped by to tell us that our entrees may take a while because our ticket was sent to the kitchen right behind a 40-top's order. He was apologetic, but we were cool with it because of the game. Surprisingly, our food arrived less than 10 minutes after the manager's table visit - we probably wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong if he hadn't said anything. I appreciated the transparency, though. I saw it as one of the evening's highlights. After the food arrived, it was a constant struggle to find any available server (as a reminder, no one told us she was cut). Refills and/or more rounds of drinks were held to a minimum. That irked me - it got to the point where I went to bar whenever I needed something (I wouldn't have minded doing that during the visit, but they set the expectation by providing table service - meaning I want table service for the duration). Neal ordered wings, while I decided to go big with a ribeye. Neal devoured his entree but I wasn't happy with mine. I ordered the ribeye rare - it came out nearly well-done. My entree came with two sides - I ordered sweet potato fries and rice. The sweet potato fries were overcooked and burnt. I tried one fry and one fry only because it was charred and inedible. The rice wasn't much better as it was cold and mushy. Since a garlic parm fries appetizer was already at our table, I loaded up on that since they were pretty good. The steak was passable since it wasn't completely dry, so I ate about half of that before I became full. So, B&B was a miss, imo, this time around. It would be easy to dismiss this as things going haywire during a busy Saturday night dinner service but, outside of the 40-top, they were empty. So, this visit felt like B&B's quality has gone downhill. I hope this isn't the norm for B&B because they honestly are a good place. But after time, some businesses lose their focus, and it felt like B&B reached that stage. Hopefully they can re-evaluate, reinvent, refocus and improve, but if their food quality continues to suffer, they won't last. Thank you, Bull & Bones. JV

Upon walking in, the host greeted us and told us his name was Dan and that he was the owner of the restaurant! It was really cool to see that the owner is truly passionate about his restaurant and will show up to put in the work, even during the later hours. In terms of the food, I went with the Hungry Hokie which was a mashed potato bowl with with bits of meatloaf and chicken, green beans, macaroni and cheese. It also came with a biscuit or cornbread, I opted in with the cornbread. The food was absolutely hearty and had pretty good flavor! The one wish that I had was that it came in a bigger portion as it didn't fully fill me up. If I was in town again, I'd definitely consider going back to try the other items on the menu!
