    Lunch on St. Patrick's Day
    Robyn S.

    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.

    Wife's chicken sandwich (note pickle not in sanitary paper)

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Meh. Never been a huge fan of this chain. Good go-to if you are feeling uninspired but have to eat. Not a destination.

    Great sandwich place! Outside deck was packed, and we still got our lunch quickly. Great place to eat when it's nice out.
