Service was SLOW. Food was COLD. Had to ask for straws, napkins. Sent 2 of 3 dishes back. This place used to be good. Last couple of times were just lousy service and not great food. Won't waste my time or money again. read more

When we arrived it was 6:15 on a Friday. That's supposed to be prime time for dinner. The place was not even a quarter full. We went to the bar for a drink and an app, and when we asked the bartender how long it would take the kitchen to make one batch of wings he was wishy-washy and said that it would take longer than normal because it was backed up. The bartender also did not know what a simple drink was, and said he did have the juice for it, and took 10 minutes to tell us he looked in the basement and couldn't find it. So I got a beer. Also he used the half ounce for a shot when a shot is one ounce. The floor was terribly greasy throughout the restaurant. The lights in the counter weren't working, and I felt like some 10 year olds were running the show. I'm glad we didn't order any food. Not going back. read more

This was my first at the Macado's in Radford, having been a regular of the Blacksburg location for years. The menu is the same, and hasn't changed in quite a while- every sandwich you can think of is on there. The food was up to par with the Blacksburg location, but the service was really lacking. It took quite a while to even order, then almost 25 minutes for the sandwiches to come. Drinks stood empty for quite a while, and our server was nowhere to be found. We eventually had to flag down another server, but honestly none of them were very helpful. Disappointing overall because of this. read more

This a decent place for lunch. The menu is kind of overwhelming but it's all sandwiches and wraps so it's not like a 23 page diner menu. The hostess and server were very friendly. I had the titanic which was very tasty but came with a bag of chips (at my request because fries weren't an option). The food is a basic sandwich shop wrapped in a wreck between TGI fridays, Applebee's. read more

Server was excellent. Food not so good. Sandwich was cold , fries terrible, cold and under cooked. Past few times I have had Macados it has been terrible. Will not be back. read more

The food was great and the drinks were even better! The girl making the drinks and serving the patio was a pleasure and made the best drinks! My only complaint was the guy with the long haired man bun with pajama pants on. There was a hole in the cr0tch and what looked like ranch stains on them.... The service was great, the food was great, the pajama pants were unprofessional and dirty. read more

Service was a tad slow but server was very good, knowledgeable. Stogie sandwiches others in my party ordered were "overstuffed ", as advertised. My Ragtime was tasty but definitely not overstuffed. Sides were generous for the fruit and potatoe salad. My French onion soup was good except it came with no bread/toast or melted cheese. Last time I ordered it it came with both. read more

In the area for vacation and this was my first time at Macado's. I had the BoBagger, my wife ordered the Reuben with Corned Beef. My goodness, both were huge in size and very good taste wise. My shaved steak was very tender, the Corned Beef on my wife's sandwich was fresh and full of taste. We aren't entitled enough to think we deserve random restaurants to cater to our every whim and prepare everything we order to our exact preferences. But I must say this was one of the best experiences food wise. Kaitlyn our server was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely visit again if in the area. read more

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon. Place was dead for the most part. The menu can be a little overwhelming with all the choices. The sandwiches are unique, but don't expect much from the sides. I got chips and they were literally a snack size bag of Ruffles. Lots of TVs and projectors on the bar side, so could be a good place to watch some games. Sandwich was solid, but nothing to write home about. read more

While the service and the food were fine, the place is filthy. Every picture and wall hanging is covered in dust and those closest to the table have food and fingerprints that look like they have been there for a long time. It seems like this is a problem with most Macado's locations. Even more gross is that the table was not wiped down before we were set and my folder (work lunch) stuck to the table and had several sticky particles of food now covering the folder. I am far from Type A, but geez I don't want to be surrounded by grime and other people"s leftovers while I eat. read more

Nice little restaurant close to Radford University. The food was just Ok. The decor was all over the place but impressive. Our waitress was nice enough but this is definitely just a local dive restaurant. read more

My hubby said that the sandwich menu has not changed since he was a teenager (and he is now 37). We came here for lunch and everything was very tasty. My husband got burlesque and he really enjoyed it (Huge sandwich!). He upgraded to homemade chips with French onion dip for $2 which were good but not $2 extra good. My in-laws got turkey trot upgraded $2 for French fries. The sandwich was massive and delicious, but the fries tasted like Sysco warehouse fries which were just okay. I got a pastrami Reuben and it was salty and meaty and exactly what I was craving for. We also got beef chili which I thought it was only $4 for a bowl but ended up to be $8 on the bill. That was the only compliant I had about our lunch. Overall, this place was quick and the food was of good quality. Huge menu! We will come back! read more

A true local staple. I've been coming here since they opened. Food is always good and always more than you can eat. Service isn't always prompt, so as long as you are patient, you'll be fine. My favorite sandwiches are the honeymooner and the reuben. Delicious. Good variety of appetizers also. They have a separate bar section for sports enthusiasts. read more

Food was ok, lots of new kitchen help. Waiter was great. Bartender had such an awful attitude to the customers. We enjoy being in the bar area for the interaction, this time has turned us off for return!... Shout out to Kristopher he tried his best to cover for the bartender awful attitude! read more

Service wasn't terrible,but,it wasn't great either. I would suggest going to BWW to get your chicken wings. The wings here suck,every time I've gotten some the bone in kind all have broken bone pieces in them,and they are over sauced with little to no meat. The French Fries are cold and half the time hard. The sandwiches are not portioned out correctly,more bread to meat,and dry. Everything on the menu is over priced,and,not made well. read more

S L O W service, happy hour wings minimum is 10 they served us 9 and forgot to deliver the ranch dip we paid extra for. To the waitress' credit she brought the one missing wing and ranch after I asked. Waited another 20 minutes for food to arrive. Waitress never offered drink refills. I asked and waited some more. Sweet potato fries were cold and undercooked. Ughh What a mistake to come here today. read more

First time at the Macado's in Radford. I'm not sure if our waiter was drunk or high, but he had a lot of problems trying to understand the seriousness of a food allergy. All we needed was to know the ingredients of two products, and he couldn't even do that. (And that included bringing out box tops and labels for other products-why? I have no idea.) We ended up leaving. No plans to return to this location. read more

Sad to see a staple local flavor go downhill. It's hit or miss here now. Issues: slow to welcome and get drinks, very long wait times for appetizers and food ( 1.5 hrs), inconsistent delivery (May get sandwich before appetizer, item may be totally omitted and forgotten but on your bill), burned food, wrong food (titanic is prime rib but I basically got a steak 'em sandwich and when I asked about it I was told that's the correct meat and it is prime rib - thin sliced roast beef is NOT prime rib), portion sizes wrong, etc. Have given this place multiple chances in the past year. Other times it's not so bad but definitely not the quality of years past. Overall restaurant is dirty as well. Floors are slick with grime and a safety hazard. Wish I had a proposed solution. I know many places are struggling with staffing, but I don't think all the issues here are due to staffing. That's an over used excuse. Just sad is all I can say. I think the employees are trying, but there is a lack of organization and quality assurance. read more

Don't recommend going during their slow hours. The oil tasted old and it took forever for our food to come out. My friends burger came out messed up and was cold. Needless to say, I won't be coming back read more

Here at Radford this is an awesome place. They have an extensive menu with soups, salads, burgers, tacos, sandwiches and wraps. I got the Cobb salad (delightful), hubby got the muffuletta and son got the Julius Caesar. All in all very good size meal and very yummy. read more

Great service, a good variety of food options. Their Madison Mud Pie is my favorite dessert, a must try! The outdoor dining area is perfect for a casual atmosphere on a summer evening. read more

The place is dirty. The fish tacos & bang bang tacos arrived after a 25 minute wait & was cold. My husband asked the manager about the delay & was told that they had worked last night whatever that meant. read more

Waited for 2 hours, food came out wrong multiple times and was mid when I got it. Found hair in my fries and water pitcher. Never coming back to this L restaurant read more

Same as it always was. Decent and cool setting to watch a game. We came with our entire baseball team and even know we had a slow start they got it done. read more

Always a great selection and always delighted with our meal. They do a fantastic job. We bring guest here frequently and it receives high marks from them as well. read more

We eat as a group at Radford Macado's once a month and I've stop there while in Radford. I used to love their French Onion Soup. Every Macado's made their soup the same and it was terrific-not anymore. I feel they went to bagged soup instead of making it themselves. Not sure, but I told my waitress how crappy it was and she said it's from a bag. How unfortunate-I hope all Macado's don't change to these weak onion soup. Now it taste like every other restaurant that sells onion soup-weak and particularly cooked onion pieces. Very disappointing. read more

Came in for lunch while passing through town, I'm a sucker for a sports themed bar, and I was very happy with the chili and salad I got. The real rockstar was Halle. Service was on point, her recommendations didn't disappoint, and she was beyond friendly. I'll be back! read more

I have been going to Macado's across Virginia for years. One noticeable trend is that the quality of the food has been going down for some time. I think tonight was my last night of eating Macado's ever again. I ordered my usual online for pick up and when I arrived at the designated time my food was not ready and there was additional 10 minutes wait . Not too big of a inconvenience, however, even with an online order they got a portion of it wrong which was simply I swapped out the bread for another type of bread. That wasn't the final straw. The final straw was the quality and taste of my macaroni salad side. Macado's used to have the best macaroni salad, however, tonight was simply nothing but macaroni mixed with mayonnaise and had dried out. The sad part was that they had a label on it stating it was made that day and yet it was tasteless and old. read more

Great food! When l first entered, I noticed how amazing the place was decorated. There were about 6-7 of us and we were seated immediately. Waitress attended to us fast and drinks were offered. NO ONE ASKED FOR ID WHEN WE ORDERED OUR ALCOHOLIC DRINKS! Spinach dip and artichoke appetizer tasted great. The food took FOREVER to come to the table, it seemed like. The waitress got the wing orders messed up and handed people the wrong wings (which confused everyone). I got the cheeseburger with fries. My burger was HUGE so I had to cut it in half. I asked for well done but biting into my burger, it was only medium well. The burger still tasted great. The fries were crispy and not greasy at all! The wait for the food was well worth it. Overall, it's was a good experience and I would come back in the future if I'm ever in the area! read more

Food is good, Staff is nice, and price is okay. Vegetarian Options: A Few but what they do have is really good. I get a Molly Brown which is very filling. Staff is always nice and its a good place so that everyone can get something. I don't like sitting on the bar side because it is more for sports fans and i am not. read more

Been coming here since 1995 and it is fantastic - biggest menu I've ever seen - literally something for ever person. Decor is awesome - they've recently renovated the bar area and it's so nice. This is a staple of RADFORD UNIVERSITY as well as the town of RADFORD - you can't come to RADFORD without stopping here. My all time favorite sandwich: SHERLOCK HOLMES - yum! Their French onion dip for the chips...so yum! read more

Stopped in to Macado's for dinner late on a Friday night because my dad and I chose Radford as the stop in our route moving me from NC to MD. We sat at the bar rather than in the dining room. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Our food came out pretty quickly. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and my dad got a french dip sandwich. The food was decent. It hit the spot after a long day. This place seems like it's one of the places for students from Radford University to hang out. As we were sitting there the bar area got a little bit more crowded with a younger crowd. read more

If you want to have Sunday lunch at the Radford location around 12, don't. They have an unadvertised wing-day (or at least no where advertised on web or Facebook). We Got there at 12, ordered at 12:30...finally got our food at 1:45!! Manager said it was due to lack of fryers. And when our food DID finally come, it clearly had been sitting while the fried foods needed to wait in line for the fryer...if a business is going to host things like this, they need to make sure they have the proper equipment to serve everyone properly and efficiently. Oh & And this was for a birthday lunch.... Very disappointed in how this day went. The only good thing was the company of my family! I'm pretty sure you just lost a long time customer, all because you'd rather serve the bar customers than the restaurant customers. Good job read more

Awful service. The bar tender was terribly rude. I have been a server for 7 years and have never experienced such an awful business. Overheard servers talking about drugs. Unacceptable. Super disappointed. The Macado's in christiansburg is much better. read more

Pretty good food, burger was great and the bun was sweet. It did take a little while to get out but it was friday at 8pm. Recommend.

Staff is amazing, If AJ is working you NEED to sit at the bar. She is awesome, knowledge and personality is off the charts. She gets you exactly what you order everytime and never keeps you waiting. When AJ is working this is by far the best bar in Radford. read more

Ah, the appeal of the hometown hangout--many memories were made at Macado's for me, and, even though sometimes there is a real love/hate relationship going on with the location and atmosphere (a strange mix of the local college crowd, local teens, and families), Macado's still holds a special place in my heart. Looking at the menu with "health-conscious" eyes now, I can see a lot of the sandwiches are probably not the healthiest at all. Actually, a lot of the sandwiches are probably overrated with the neat names and such, but they're still fun to order. For the longest time, my "go-to" sandwich was the Sherlock Holmes. The desserts have always been ginormously satisfying....The French Twist especially. Also, the mixed drinks have been great as well. Service has varied over the years (hey, I've been coming to Macado's since I was a young schoolgirl); sometimes service has been great, sometimes....not so great. But the atmosphere is a "flexible" one, with all the random trinkets and displays for young children to be entertained with, and the maze-like layout for teens and college kids to feel like they have their own "little world" inside of the restaurant to talk amongst themselves. Well, I'll probably be visiting Macado's for quite awhile whenever I return back to Radford. (P.S. Visiting Macado's yesterday made me strangely feel homesick for SF though...maybe because it made me miss Yelp.) read more

this place is ridiculous. the management must be drunk or high. door dashers waiting for hours to get orders that are made but never get sent t to the back to the cooks. read more

I should admit up front that I'm biased when it comes to Macados. Their long, folded menus (including the sandwich with the questionable sausage clip art) have a place in my heart unlikely to be trumped by another restaurant known for its sandwiches. There's a huge gorilla that looms over some of the booths, a creepy eggman on a bicycle, and old business and road signs that I absolutely adore. The true beauty of Macados is: karaoke nights. If you go enough times, you get to know the regulars (a friendly bunch) and, for me, it got easier to get up and sing my heart out every week. We went regularly for three years on Thursdays; women got in for free, the drinks aren't too expensive (unless you're getting something fancy, then it'll cost you about $7, which strikes me right in my small-town Virginia wallet.) The friendly, funny DJ (Rob), the excellent, overworked waitstaff, and the good mood of the crowd all contribute to make Macados a great place to pass an evening in Radford. The sandwiches are good, though I have to request no mayonnaise because they put on too much for my tastes. My friend Caitlin adores the black and bleu salad; almost everyone I know opts for a quesadilla occasionally when they've had one too many sandwiches. The fries are pretty plain, but everyone else I know really likes them. They offer free refills on drinks and we've never been rushed out the door. read more

Macado's went above and beyond on their recent renovation. The bar and patio look amazing. I'm glad to see some great Virginia beers on tap as well. The management and staff are really friendly and helpful, especially Lee (one of the managers). He went out of his way to accommodate myself and my family for a wonderful experience. I look forward to my next visit. read more
