A regional chain with locations in Roanoke, Salem, Vinton and more. The menu is the same, but service is different at each of them. The service here is nice and the food comes out quickly. They make their potato salad in house and Tate's homemade. The French onion soup is also good. The sandwiches are full of ingredients and a nice price for the quantity and quality. read more

We loved our experience at Macado's. The server was attentive and kind. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

The hostess man that looks like Humpty Dumpty is absolutely miserable to deal with. Great looking restaurant but you knows its going to be a bad experience when the hostess man right off the bat is rude. read more

The place is a dump. Tattered leathetette booth benches. Sink in woman's bathroom doesn't work. Took an hour and 15 minutes to get a hamburger at lunch - and even then got it wrong! Had to ask for napkins and silverware read more

Great food and good environment! The hand sanitizer smelled soooooo bad, please don't use them read more

Wings are10/10. The decorations are seriously entertaining. Pretty cheap food as well.

We have been Macado's fans for some time in Roanoke/Salem and other locations. This is a great location. My daughter goes to VT and this is her favorite restaurant close to campus. Large menu for about anyone (not anything fancy though - some of the best sandwiches around). read more

Food was not good. Do not recommend the wings or fries because they were both mushy and soggy. Although, the pretzel was about the only good thing. The service was decent. Nice waiter. The restaurant is not clean at ALL. Seems a bit outdated also. Things need to turn around soon or this restaurant will be in the sewer. Do your self a favor and eat at McDonald's to save your self from the food poisoning here. I heard Joey Chesnut won't even eat here. read more

I've always had mixed reviews about this place. The food is cheap and delicious but something always seems to go wrong every time I go. I've been several times because there's so many options and everything I've eaten was great, but there has been times when it's taken our waiter 20 minutes to greet my party at the table, there was a time it took almost 40 minutes because somehow our waitress didnt know we were seated there, and the food takes entirely too long to come out for a couple deli sandwiches. On a positive note, their Sunday $.39 boneless wings is an amazing deal and the wings are just as amazing. The tasty food and prices are the reasons I keep going back, but expect long wait times even when they may not be too busy. read more

Came here with a group for their Sunday wing deal (pre-COVID). We got wings and milkshakes, and everything tasted as good as we expected (tasty but didn't blow us away). The food took a little while to come out, but that could've been because there were so many of us there. They have a large menu, and tons of flavor options for even just the wings. The price points are fair, but I think they have the best deals for the daily special, so be sure to check what that is. The atmosphere is casual and fun. The interior is very spacious and decor is super funky. Plenty of indoor seating (unsure about outdoor). Great option to feed a group as there's something for everyone. read more

Echoing Mark B's review: "this place is a dump." It's May and the bathroom sink still doesn't work. Toilets disgusting. Unhappy staff. Same with having to ask for EVERYTHING from water to napkins to silverware (no knives - "they were being washed"). Food is terrible. Save your time and money. Someone needs to put this restaurant and its staff out of its misery. read more

We decided to go here for a late lunch, or would that be an early dinner, and I knew what I wanted before I walked in the door! They are well known for their vast menu with many different sandwiches, but I decided to order the Bacon Burger Quesadilla. Our waitress, who was overseeing the bar, was very attentive and friendly. Our food was spot on and delicious. Always fun to come here and dine, never know what you might see/spot on your visit with all the memorabilia hanging on the walls. read more

Worst experience ever!!!! raw fries and shrimp tacos with NO SHRIMP, go figure!!! this restaurant is horrible read more

Food was ok. Hated the pick up process. No utensils. Won't go back next time in Blacksburg

My boyfriend got severe food poisoning and has been miserable. He had the Mona Lisa sandwich, and felt off the next morning before he fell very ill that afternoon and through the next day (feverish, vomiting, bad stomach pain). He is still feeling horrible. Our waitress was great and very accommodating, and the atmosphere was fun, but the food was quite literally sickening. read more

One step into Macado's and you feel like you're in a different universe! Their unique decor definitely is different, but it's a good different! The restaurant itself is really big, so I don't think you'd have a hard time finding space for large parties. The food itself is average. They have SO MANY ITEMS on their menu. I've been here multiple times and have sampled different plates/entrees. My safe go-to appetizer would be the potato skins. They're really good for sharing and easing your hungry stomach! The wings are okay; I wish they had more sauces available. On my last visit, I had the KC Chicken Mac and Cheese. The chicken was pretty good, but the Mac and Cheese had a really watered down texture. It was a little too watered down for my tasting. The kitchen takes awhile to cook the food, so don't come here if you're in a rush. The service is on par. Upsides: good for groups, has a wide variety of items to choose from read more

We had lunch here while visiting VT. If you are looking for a sandwich place in Blacksburg this is your place. So many options. I had the Mac and cheese burger which I would recommend. We unfortunately we in Sunday early afternoon and it was very busy. Our appetizer came out after we were done eating and our we had to grab another waiter just to get refills. read more

Horrible horrible horrible. Nothing else to say . Long wait times - not enough staff. We had such a bad experience we will never go back. That applies to Radford branch as well. read more

My roommate and I came here when we were really hungry, so our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. We ordered 10-piece traditional wings with bang bang and honey bbq sauce to share. (We also had the nicest waitress who patiently answered all of our questions and let us try the bang bang sauce before ordering.) My roommate ordered the Big Daddy with potato salad and a side of mac and cheese, and I ordered the Honeymooner with pasta salad. The wings came first, and they were HUGE--literally the biggest wings I had ever seen; I had not expected them to be so big. The honey bbq was a solid choice, but the bang bang wings with ranch were the BEST! We could not stop thinking about them several days after our meal. But since the wings were so big, I was actually completely full by the time I finished my 4th wing; I don't know what made them so filling, but I could not even touch my actual entree! My roommate couldn't either, so we unfortunately had to pack both of our sandwiches to go. She told me that the Big Daddy was absolutely delicious even hours after. The Honeymooner wasn't too special; it was rather salty in my opinion, but I also had it unfresh, so this is a bit of an unfair review. Nonetheless, I WILL be back for the wings! read more

Very nice decorations, with everything from Charlie Chaplin to King Kong, Humpty Dumpty to Batman, But .... food is way over priced and poor quality. Our server was attentive and personable, but the steak quesadilla was mealy, dry and had the texture and appearance of canned cat food. We were with friends and we were splitting appetizers , but had I been alone , would have sent it back ( or thrown it in the garbage). The chicken fingers were mediocre at best and were served lukewarm, with ... get this ,,, ketchup! Who the hell puts ketchup on their chicken ?? So weird~. But I digress. We were over with the food by this point and we each had 1 drink (4 total) and the bill with tip was 60$ and change ,, this on 2 for 1 apps nite? Cmon guys ,,,, hopefully your other customers will receive better ,,, i for one will not be back read more

That was a bad reuben. The corned beef was charred, there was no Thousand Island dressing, and they were very stingy with the sauerkraut. Also, I don't think my diet coke was actually a diet coke. Macado's in Blacksburg was okay around 1980, but now, no. OTOH, a couple people with me got burgers that were okay, and someone else got a sandwich she liked. read more

So listen, i don't come here for any other reason but this place is apart of this college town's tradition. The menu is vast. It suits families to a tee. The atmosphere is far from boring. I ordered a Macado sandwich with Macados sauce, because seriously? Why not? Excellent stuff. Great beer selection. Go watch the Hokie away games there. I will always come back. read more

Macado's - Chicken Wings Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I am so disappointed in this establishment. We have quiet a few in the area and this has always been our go to location. Yesterday has forever changed my thoughts. From the wait times just to get drinks, service, and food- they should be ashamed. There was multiple families that was complaining around us, as we thought it could of been busy. There was more workers then guests in there. Our waiter seemed to of not care about me expressing my concerns as well. I had to download this app because this is not okay. The place needs an adjustment all the way down to beverages. Upsetting. read more

I was visiting and tried it again. Still quiet literally the worst restaurant in town. Ordered take out and the screwed up the order and wouldn't help fix it. Don't go to this terrible restaurant. read more

1st off, I would love to give Macado's a higher review but I cant. The Good: I've been here multiple times. It's a great bar to watch a game or for a crowd. The two level restaurant has a lot of atmosphere with a car put on the 2nd level, Godzilla looking creature, and various other things to look at. The sandwich list can be intimidating but it's nice to have so many options plus you can make your own. My favorite is the Jackie Gleason (roast beef, bacon on everything bagel). Also, I went here one morning and mimosas are only 3 bucks. I think their bloody marys were $2.50. Check out the menu online because they have great daily deals! Also, their drinks are reasonable and who wanted want a beer served in the schooner glass?! The Bad: Last weekend, I came and had the chili. I had it before and it came with some chips, cheese and was served nice and piping hot. I didn't have the same experience this past time. It was just chili and was at best lukewarm. I should have asked for it to be reheated. The Ugly: The service one time was unbelievably bad. Not sure what the problem was but it was slow. So slow, that we somehow got our food before we got our drinks and it took a long time for our order to be taken. Maybe we were just forgotten or something but it took me a while to visit Macado's again after this visit. It was especially disappointing because we had friends in town and wanted to show off the area. read more

What an excellent place !! My family and I were in Virginia dropping off our son at Virginia Tech and decided to have lunch at this wonderful restaurant. The chicken wings were big juicy and had a wonderful coating on them, breaded pickle spears were absolutely perfect, my daughters chicken quesadilla was large and full of chicken and delicious. My wife's fish tacos were exquisitely made and overflowing with goodness. Service was pleasant and quick -and I cannot express enough our satisfaction and shock that every single thing was perfectly made for this meal. Please go and enjoy! read more

Ah, nostalgia. Macado's was one of our weekly stops in the good old college days, way back in the early nineties. Gather 'round, youngsters, and let ol' Dad tell you about Sandwiches. See, back when we were young and full of hope and dreams, we lived in a magical town called Blacksburg. Near our happy little home was a restaurant called Macado's. They had sandwiches. Not your run of the mill peanut butter and jelly, or sad slabs of ham on soggy bread, but sandwiches so big and stuffed they made Darren Robinson look skinny. There was one called the Hindenburg that you could eat off of for a week! Drinks? Oh yes, they had drinks. Beers in schooners so big you could swim in them. And they only cost a dollar! Try to find that today, you with your TivoPods and mountain unicycles. Bah. Anyway, I remember this place fondly, and it sounds like it's still pretty much the same after 15-20 years. Dang, it's been a long time... read more

A good selection of beers, some served in huge glasses. I've only had snackish bar food so can't comment on the sandwiches this place is famous for, but the food I've had was decent and satisfying. I was here more for the beer, and left a happy customer. The downside, not enough seats and gets very busy when there's a game on at VT. read more

I loved Macado's for years. However, the recent visits I had were not pleasant at all. Food was way overcooked, for both of my recent visits. One time was a burnt burger beef patty, the second time was a burnt cheese quesadilla. The waiter did get me new ones after I requested both times, but how can they let burnt food out of the kitchen? So I stopped going here, sadly. read more

Macado's - Burnt quesadilla. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

One of my staples from my college days, and a go-to place for lunch or a light dinner whenever I come back into town. I love the atmosphere, with all the random memorabilia scattered around- from old pictures to cars and costumes, sports gear and everything else they could somehow fit in. The service has always been good, and most importantly they offer sweet tea, which I struggle to get up here in DC. As for the food, I have never had a bad sandwich here. The Cowpoke and the Ragtime are two of my favorites. Everything tastes fresh and is well made. I just wish it was closer! read more

I love Macados! Their menu is so robust and you can have anything you want from the bar appetizers, pasta, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, etc! I love their burgers - they are huge and so worth it. I ALWAYS recommend getting a sandwich though. The cooks are incredible and always make sure the sandwiches are cooked to perfection and loaded up with ingredients. Make sure you get the homemade chips with a sandwich - they are the perfect addition. The bar staff is always so friendly and fun, able to recommend any drink you want. It's a great family fun atmosphere if you want to watch a game, or enjoy a meal with your family! There's something on the menu for everyone. read more

I love the variety of menu options and JUST learned about Bomb nights! They are on Thursdays at certain times (I believe it ends at 8pm). The Irish car bombs and Cherry bombs are delicious. I've only ever ordered the Oriental Chicken Salad and Oriental Chicken wrap (both times I was craving something sweet and teryaki-flavored). I've heard their sandwiches are delicious. The service here is great and their daily specialties make you want to come back every day! read more

Yup, it's a chain, but a super friendly one. There are dinosaurs and king kongs and all the funny stuff you see at the usual chain store. The waitress was really cool. She told us that the nachos were half price after a certain time. We got the nachos with everything on it. Literally, everything was on it! I also got a rare roast beef sandwhich was bacon on it... seriously, rare roast beef + bacon?!?!?! My dreams have finally come to fruition. The rare roast beef was the stand out star. Very tender and juicy! read more

Like other people have said, the food here is OK. Some of the items are terrible (their burritos are pretty sad) while the burgers can be decent. The fries left something to be desired and reminded me of the ones you buy at the frozen section in Kroger's. What really ticks me off about this place is the service. The first time I went there, the waiter was fantastic but the kitchen was really slow about getting the food out. The second time, the waitress didn't seem to care a whole lot and again the kitchen was slow to push out the food. We waited about 45 minutes before the appetizers finally came out. Definitely am not going back. read more

Great Visit!! Mike was amazing! He listened to my dietary restrictions and had great recommendations. Everything inside is cleaned and sanitized, and everyone has a mask on. I love Macado's and I will continue to recommend to anyone. Thanks again Mike for everything! read more

Fun place! I always enjoy going to Macados because of the atmosphere, there are so many weird things in the restaurant to look at, as well as huge televisions. All of the booths are super private as well. Macados is always good for game day weekends as well because it is so big the wait isn't too bad and if there is there is always the options of going to the bar. However, the food is just alright. There are sooo many sandwich options, which is awesome and extremely overwhelming for an indecisive person like myself. But the sandwiches are mediocre. I usually get the "Crazy Chris Wrap," which is pretty good. Today, I tried the fried pickles which were a good deal and the batter was delicious(I pretty much will like any fried pickles I eat though). I also got the chili, which was not hot at all when I got it. It was the first time I almost sent my food back because I like my soups real hot when I eat them, but I was hungry. The chili had a great taste though! It was probably just a mistake. read more

To Chris and the manager in charge of him on Oct 5, I know that you are a new server and I did my best to have patience with you. I recognized that you were running your tail off and you were trying, I will not make light of that, however, I was super frustrated with several things and hope that this will help you be a better server. 1. You said you would check to see if you had root beer, but wanted to take our drink order before you found out. Next time, say, let me check and then come right back. Then took the drink order, then realized it was only bottled. You came to our table 5 times to get the drink order right. Of which none were ever refilled. 2. We asked for 3 cups of nacho cheese, and fries, and then you brought 3 beer cheese. Honest mistake, it happened last time we were there too, which is why I was very clear we wanted nacho cheese, but when I let you know of the mistake, you brought ONE nacho cheese and all of them were listed on the check. Then, when I explained the mistake, yall put all 3 nacho cheeses on my check....we only got one, and the 3 nasty beer cheeses we never wanted in the first place. Also, never tell a customer, "YOU SAID" even if you think you know what they said. You fix it, talk crap to your coworkers in the back and move on. I know what I said and it was, NACHO... Not beer. 3. 7 people, 3 forks??? 4. We ordered a cheeseburger plain. You repeated it back, then came back to the table a while later to double check we wanted meat, cheese and bun... Yup, plain. It came out with mayo... Or I hope it was. Your explaination.... "I put plain, but sometimes ingredients just come on it." Like what....? 5. Every time we needed something it was at least 5 minutes. 6. When we got our final check we noticed 15% gratuity had been added. Sucks for you we usually tip 20% or more. Because we felt like you or your manager did it because we were "being difficult." We stopped a server to ask the policy for gratuity. She said we will add it to parties of 8 or more. There were 7 of us. You or your manager went against policy? I was pretty upset with how it all went down. In the end I was the "shitty customer" because you were ineffective at your job. I was the "bad customer" because I expected you to be trained properly. The manager on duty or trainer should have been monitoring you and your tables to ensure you were providing adequate service. When you came to them to get something taken off the check, the manager should have come to the table automatically to check in. Chris, management has failed us both. You will hopefully get better, but Macados will go downhill. read more

I ordered a "supreme" lasagna for takeout. And there was noting supreme about it. The portion was so small, as shown in the image with fork for comparison. It literally had 2 slices of lasagna pasta. And at a whopping 10$, definitely not what I expected, especially with it being called "supreme". They're usually great for sandwiches, but never ordering takeout again if this the kind of effort that is going to be expected on any other items. Also, suggest not using paper for boxing the lasagna. It was stuck to the food when I went to put it on the plate. read more
