Rainy stormy Sunday afternoon perfect for a quick bite out. I was greeted and seated quickly. Forgetting my glasses made reading their extensive menu and I do mean it's extensive which for post Covid is great so many restaurant menus have shrunk in terms of food feedings. Their clearly did not. I started with a tossed salad with 1,000 Island Dressing and some garlic bread. A wonderfully big salad and the garlic bread satisfied my carb craving. Next I had the Julius Caesar sandwich - breaded chicken breast, marinara sauce, melted provolone, Parmesan, on a toasted Kaiser roll. Very tasty and filling. I will sat my waitress was phenomenal she brought me my requested items quickly and had such a welcoming presence! If your in FarmVille and want something other than the humdrum usual definitely go to Macado's read more

It wasn't the food, it was the bartender slash server. I'm a waitress and bartender (or I once was) and dang. Don't ask for anything, don't expect even napkins or water. You're asking too much. She actually made my MIL and the rest of us there celebrating my say yes to the dress moment from wonderful Caryn's a waawaaa moment. However the chips and dips. Ehh. Too expensive for what it was. Sandwich great service boo read more

I hadn't been her in a while and was disappointed, the service wasn't anything to write home about given it wasn't busy, and they messed up my husband's order. The fries were cold, my food was decent but it's not as good as I remember before. There are plenty of other solid places to dine in Farmville these days so I think I will take a pass next time I'm in town. read more

Service was great for our party of 6! Sandwich NOT so much. Chicken was dry and barely warm. And I received different cheese than requested and NO bacon as menu listed!!! Happy they had other side options other than French fries. Daughter's Caesar salad was huge and her PF (I think) Mac-n-cheese was great. Wish I'd ordered her food. :(. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was good also. Great selection of menu items! Restaurant wasn't noisy. Bathrooms were clean but they could definitely spruce up the decor! read more

I've visited Macado's a good number of times over the last few years hoping that my experiences would improve, but I've come out the other side with a pretty decent conclusion. On any given day for lunch or dinner, service is always very subpar and meals range from being mediocre to disappointing. I didn't frequent this location until I fell into a friend group who likes Macado's pretty decently so we'd all meet up to have meals together sometimes. We don't do that anymore because of how much of a letdown our experiences have been. I kept going back on the days where wings were on a nice deal, and each and every wing meal went like this: service was awful even if the restaurant wasn't crowded, the wings were always violently oversauced, and the wings were always old/cold/extremely sad. This review would be a 2 star review had I not stopped in to have lunch on St. Patrick's day a few weeks ago. The service was really good (I requested being sat in the main building and not the newer bar building) and the holiday themed lunches were so fresh and so yummy. I wish every meal there could match my most recent experience! But even with this one lovely visit, I still have this restaurant on my "try not to go there" list unless all of my other options have failed. read more

Macado's - Lunch on St. Patrick's Day - Burgers Near Me - Farmville, Virginia

Stopped in here for a late lunch with my wife at this college town hang out known for sandwiches and drink specials. Upon arrival, we were greeted and immediately seated but it was clear that the staff was doing double duty as our hostess was also our server. We were seated in a booth and I had to adjust the table as one side of the table was closer to the booth the other side. Upon receiving our menus, I noted that there is a large selection of sandwiches (like a whole page), burgers, salads and quesadillas. I opted for a club sandwich with fries ($2 upcharge) and my wife ordered a chicken sandwich with cheese. It took a little longer than usual for food to get to the table and drinks ran empty at times. When our food arrived, my club was cut in squares not the normal triangles. My wife's sandwich was cut in half and contained a whole grilled chicken breast. The sandwiches tasted good but our pickles were not on the sanitary paper but instead touching the basket and my sandwich could have used a little more mayo. It is also important to note that tables/ booths are close together so you can be part of the other groups conversation or vice versa even if you don't want to be. Not a bad option for lunch. read more

Rude people! We were from out of town and got a recommendation to go there. It was 7 PM, we walked into the empty restaurant with a full bar through another set of doors. I asked for a table for two, and was told go to the bar. I told them we didn't want to have dinner in a bar. She told me to go there. We went and there were no seats available. The hostess told me to sit outside, or go somewhere else. I decided to go somewhere else. As I was leaving, a waitress was walking in the door. I told her about our experience. Her reply was why don't you just go somewhere else!!!! Rudest restaurant staff ever. I will tell everyone I know to never go there. Went to the Fishin' Pig where the staff was outstanding! I give the Fishin' Pig TEN STARS! read more

When you begin with the hostess rolling her eyes at you after saying table for 2 outside, patio (because it's a 65 fall day), that sets the vibe. All but one table was empty outside. Got to table, 2 servers saying "I'm not going to clear this table it's so and sos job- I only make $13 an hour and I'm not doing anything extra. Ok. Took a while to get served, he was nice, food took awhile to come out. Asked another server to send him over or send Italian dressing, neither happened. The most interesting thing was the file sitting in the maroon Nissan in the larking lot with the missing front end. The bus boy went out for a toke. Dishes sat on tables. The vibe is just off at this place, hopefully they'll get it together. read more

Made a quick drink stop with some friends while waiting on another bar to open. Outside area was pretty busy, so we sat at the empty bar indoors. After a few minutes a bartender finally came up and got our drink orders. I just grabbed a Guinness since they actually had it on nitro. I really appreciated her effort, but the pour on the Guinness was pretty poor. It's an easy thing to have people learn, especially if you invested in getting the nitro line. It seems we may have came in during a shift change, because after getting our drinks we didn't see our bartender for a good 15 minutes. Once we finally got the attention of the oncoming, we closed out and got out of there. I'm going to chalk it up to maybe the bartender having a bad day (she did have some serious RBF going on), so will have to try it again next time I'm in town. read more

A little history - my Hubby went to VA Tech and I went to college in Lexington, VA both of us back in the 80's. Spanky's/now all Macado's all hold a special place in our hearts (SO many glasses and frisbees - if you know, you know). Our oldest graduated from Tech with an undergrad and a Masters and now works for the school, every time we visit, we have to go to Macado's - it's a family tradition. Stay with me on this... The Blacksburg location has been hit or miss - mostly 3 star experiences. Several months ago we went to my original haunt in Lexington (the youngest was visiting VMI) and were were again a 3 - a little disappointed. I was beginning to think we were romanticizing the "glory days" of our youth. Then we were camping in central VA, didn't feel like cooking that night and saw this Macado's. We knew it wouldn't be fine dining and didn't expect too much, but it was Labor Day weekend and not much else was opened. Boy we're we surprised! Here was EVERYTHING I have always loved about Macado's! Excellent service - the full menu, executed the way I remembered! I ordered the mixed berry sangria - yes please! Everything the menu said it was, except the complimentary Hurricane glass. That made me sad, but it's not like I don't own enough of them! We started with Chips, Dips and Things, because we always have. The pretzel was cooked to order everything was yummy! Hubby made his own sandwich with roast beef and I probably got the Mona Lisa untoasted (it's been a couple of weeks, but that's my usual, I may have gotten crazy, but that's not the point). The POINT is that the sandwiches in this location hark back to the old Spanky's/Macado's days. They are piled HIGH, everything seems to be made to order (not sitting somewhere half cooked ready to hit the microwave like their counterparts in other locations. If you are like us - looking for nostalgia, drive HERE. If you are in the area, don't miss it. Gone are the Hurricane glasses and frisbees, but the food is worth it. read more

Stopped in to have a sandwich and reminisce on the college days. Place is just as I remember. Several toppings were missing from my sandwich and the staff seemed a little confused. Perhaps an off day? read more

A fun retro favorite! Great atmosphere and a really large menu-there is literally something for everyone!! Our server,Emily was energetic and charming-and cheerfully explained the menu options-and quickly brought our drinks and took our order. Everything we ordered came out perfectly...we all really loved our food!! We hadn't been to Macado's for a number of years-since college days in other towns, so this was a delightful experience!! read more

Ate here last night and had a little wait to get seated because it appears people are doing more than one job. The food was slow coming out but when it did it was darned good. We had the potato soup (cup) and it was delicious. I had a stuffed quesadilla that was super cheesy with a nice picante. My husband had a mushroom burger with cheddar cheese sub'ed with no problem. He said it was perfectly cooked and delicious. The french fries he had were also a hit. Our waitress couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful, getting us the last of the soup with the zeal of a mountain climber taking on Everest. Overall unexpectedly good food for a small location with a ton of variety on the menu. read more

Took 1:40 to get our food. Had to refill our own drinks. We were in the auxiliary area and the bartender had to leave several times. No workers anywhere. Place has awful service. read more

Fried pickles ATE DOWN. Absolutely delightful, and the ranch was also especially good. Shoutout to our waiter who gave us extra, you ROCKED. And he was funny, great guy. We got the big city jazz sandwich. It was an excellent sandwich experience, very good bite (om nom nom). They are not shy with the deli meat. We got the potato salad side... and as a general potato salad hater, it was pretty damn good. Unfortunately the wings were kinda just... ok, but they were also 39 cents so who am I to complain. Overall, pretty alright. read more

Stopped in for lunch today when visiting Farmville. There are two separate buildings. One is the bar area and one is the general seating area. The general area was not crowded so we sat there. The decor is interesting and the space is nice. The menu is a bit overwhelming and I had a hard time deciding what to eat. The appetizer came out quick but the sandwich was super slow. The food was good and portions were generous. Would try them again when I had more time. read more

Macado's has been a favorite since the mid-1980s when I lived in Radford VA. It was a regular stop for having lunch and dinner with family and friends because the sandwiches are delicious as well as several of their other menu items. The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, even with it being as old as it is now, and isn't loud or crowded-feeling. We no longer live in VA but make it a point to stop by Macado's every time we're in town visiting family. read more

We arrived around noon on a Tuesday in February. We were greeted promptly and were taken to a table in the "other" building. Apparently, there is a main section then the section we sat in which had nice bar with seats and also individual tables. Our server arrived almost immediately to get our drink orders. The menu is, to say the least, quite expansive. There are lots of appetizers, quesadillas, hamburgers, and a huge list of sandwiches. There are also a handful of salads and a few entrees. Once we ordered our lunch, it arrived in about 10-15 minutes. We shared the Big City Jazz sandwich with potato salad, and we each had a draft Loose Cannon IPA. The IPA was pretty good but a tad sweeter than we like. The sandwich was served on a slightly sweet, sour dough roll (recommended by our server), and it was stuffed with goodies. So much so that you could barely get your mouth around it. The roll was delicious, and it was the highlight; however, the stuff stuffed in it was tasty as well. We came to Farmville to look at furniture, but we'd come back just to eat here. read more

Outdoor patio seating was nice. Food was not good. Dry potato skins, flavorless mains. I asked for hot sauce 3 times before giving up. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't choose it again. read more

We were driving in to town to do the High Bridge Trail so we called in a sandwich order to pick up. I ordered the Stogie with a side order of the house made chips which had a $2 up charge. Not certain they were worth the up charge. They were not anything to write home about and did not come with the ranch or French onion dip. Maybe they are better and more plentiful for dine in. Food was ready a few minutes after we arrived which was great. Their menu is extensive so there truly should be something for everyone in your group. read more

Love this place, have been a sorta regular for 2 decades. Food is always good, but they did mess up a to- go order one time. Sadly, it was my wife's order, so I called and complained. Fast forward 3 months....Winfield remembered that last order instantly and made it right! I had actually forgotten, but not Winfield. Excellent service and attention to customers is rare. Well done, Sir, and Maddie. You know we'll always be back. read more

I was near FarmVille to run the High Bridge 5k last weekend. Beautiful day for a run and always worked up an appetite. Macado's is only 10 minutes away so I got there around 10 am and the second one to be seated. The server was great and got me the Bronx sandwich which was huge and filling. With my beer, I was happily chomping away and watching my favorite ball team. Life is good!! read more

Take out for the win I ordered the bang bang shrimp & portabella quesadilla. 30 minutes after I ordered, it was picked up and I was back in my hotel room. The 10 shrimps were HUGE and crispy with a delicious creamy + spicy sauce. The quesadilla was CHEESY and filled with veggies. Both were excellent and the portions were big ! The menu was huge and I have no doubt you can find something you like at Macados read more

Great and AMAZING sandwiches, beer and services -we were lucky enough to be greeted and taken care of by Winfield; hopefully, you will too.

Not our first visit but possibly our last. Saturday at 1:00 pm, busy but only waited 5 min for a table. Waitress had the personality of a spoon. Took 30 min to get a hot dog & fries, both were less than room temperature. Took an additional 25 min to get my sandwich, In the meantime there was no communication from the waitress or the manager about the problem. When she finally brought my sandwich, she set it in the table and walked away with no comment. No apology, nothing. Totally unacceptable performance by the entire staff. read more

Ordered through wayfast and per their website/Macados we chose to get the "Monster cheesecake." We received this small piece for almost $10. Unacceptable. read more

Ambiance was quiet and we thought we'd have a great meal and nice time since restaurant was quiet with only 2 tables since it just stopped raining and fireworks were finished. Food was cold and had to be sent back and brought back barely warm and 2nd entree waited for 40 minutes told them to pack it to go and upon inspection the roll not toasted the meat burnt no cheese as in description no side and they actually took a plastic container of gravy and smashed it into the sandwich. Needless to say that was taken to and returned to management and taken off the bill. Service was completely unacceptable that evening of July 3rd read more

Since moving up from Myrtle Beach SC this bar and restaurant has become my favorite in this small town of FarmVille VA. the staff go above and beyond. Meeting the bartender that works out back, Ashlii, I have had a positive experience every time! Tonight when I arrived I noted other patrons having their chicken Alfredo. I was unaware they had that on the menu! I immediately ordered it and was HIGHLY impressed. The garlic bread was made to absolute perfection. Kudos to Teresa the chef!! 12/10 would recommend Macados if you're ever around one!! read more

This is a must visit when in Farmville. I worked here in college many moons ago. I love that many of the favorites then are still on the menu, but with lots of upgrades to boot. The service is great. The portions are huge and tasty too. I highly recommend any of the sandwiches. You won't leave hungry. read more

It was good enough for a quick but of bar food but nothing super special. We would come back if we wanted just casual bar type environment food. read more

Great sandwiches! Especially liked the Brooklyn bridge. Have been here several times

The service was terrible. I ordered a salad and fruit and it took 45 minutes. I finally had to ask for it because the server forgot to bring it to the table. Also, the restrooms were in a poor state of repair (loose toilet seat, safety hazard, and broken faucets). Will ne er go again! read more

The positives about this place is the customer service was great. I was greeted at the door. My server Abby was friendly. She periodically checked to make sure I was okay but didn't overly do it so I appreciate that. The place was clean overall but could use some attention to details like cleaning the salt shakers. The food looked amazing, it was fresh, but I was disappointed with the flavor. The pasta was not seasoned while cooked. The chicken parm had a burnt taste on the edges. The water also had a weird after taste. I also ordered the mozzarella logs which were good I just didn't like the shaved cheese on top. read more

I haven't eaten there yet so I can't speak to the ambiance and service but the restaurant looks awesome from what I can tell so I plan to visit in person at some point. I've only ordered food for delivery on several occasions. The delivery is very fast, the food is delicious. I LOVE their bacon cheeseburger, love the huge serving of fries that you get and the boneless wings. Those are my faves. read more

Live macados food and drink options. Just staff was very slow. That happens a lot of places now and they are no exception. Just be warned your meal could take a long while. Drinks at least those should be fast (except with our waitress). But I went up to bar for good service. Overall still a macados fan. read more

Service was excellent (Lee was very attentive). However...4th year in a row that the restaurant was not able to fulfill the items advertised and promoted for the week of St. Patrick's Day. They have either run out or their order hasn't come in yet! No shaved corned beef for the Reuben Sandwich! No peppermint pattie pieces for the Patty O'Malley "Delectable Dessert." Dang! Go to a local grocery store and get some! read more

Service was good. Had a Reuben sandwich and the meat was very dry. I was expecting something better.

Macados use to be one of the best places in FarmVille VA but it seems with Covid everything has gone downhill. We had a 40 minute wait (which is perfectly acceptable). Got to the table, ordered. Then took a hour to get our food from placing our order. Around the 40 minute mark the waitress said we could just pay for our drinks and leave if it didn't come out soon. Food came and half of it was burnt and without any condiments on them. One sandwich was completely burnt, and when we sent it back they gave it back to us with only the top piece replaced. The picture attached is after we sent it back. read more

The food was amazing. The server was on point. He was very nice and on top of the drinks.

I appreciate the late hours. Extensive sandwich menu creations, a few salad options, apps, desserts. For an 830pm Thursday dinner time, they were still fairly busy. The fried pickle spears were a good starter. I ordered the fish taco which I liked. It comes with fries and slaw in the taco. The cucumber wasabi dressing is not spicy and went well with the fish. read more
