Old school drive up hotdog and hamburger joint…read more I was in the area for business and decided to drop in after seeing the reviews. You pull up and it's curbside service. They literally come up to your car, take your order, and bring your food back. I loved the old school feel. It took no time for my food to arrive-about 7 minutes. I got a burger, onion rings, and a hotdog all the way. The onion rings were fresh, hot, and had the perfect amount of salt. The burger was well seasoned, had that crisp, grilled taste. The hotdog was good as well-chili was perfect. It was such a nostalgic feel and definitely a must visit for the experience.

I don't know much about pimento cheese. (OK, I don't know anything about pimento cheese.) But the…read morepimento cheese at Bottom of the Stairs is mighty tasty. I was with a group, and one of the people in the group was a pimento cheese aficionado, and she said it was amazing, so there you go. The pimento cheese is served warm with kettle-cooked potato chips. Because I was in a group, we ordered a bunch of things for the table. The pimento cheese, but also the TOTSchos (tater tots covered in beer cheese, pulled pork and cole slaw), and some smoked wings. All of these things were delicious, but my favorite was the TOTSchos because I'm a tot lover, and I love when the tots get kind of soft from the melty cheese and still kind of crunchy from the spots that don't have the melty cheese. BOTS (what people who live here call Bottom of the Stairs) is known for their smoked meats and barbecue. Some of the people at my table got pulled pork and things, but I was feeling like something slightly lighter, so I got the blackened catfish. It comes with slaw and two additional sides, and I picked mac & cheese and collard greens. Well, my meal wasn't light in the slightest, but it was delicious! The fish was tender and had that smoky flavor from the blackened seasoning. I got the Bots Mule to drink, because if I'm not drinking wine, I like to drink gin. Someone at my table got the Pickle-tini, and they did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my mule. Gin goes down a treat, I tell you what. Plus! They put your Bots Mule in a plastic BOTS cup that you get to take home. Free souvenir! Bottom of the Stairs exists because there is a Top of the Stairs. At the top of the stairs is an adults-only bar. BOTS is the family-friendly counterpart.

I decided to get the platter with two meats here, from which I selected 1 fried catfish fillet,…read morebrisket (came in 2 pieces), and this came with slaw, and two sides, where I chose tater tots and mac and cheese The first thing that absolutely shocked me was the size of this plate. It was incredibly large. My first thought when seeing the food was "there's no way I'm going to finish this". The catfish fillet stretched across the entire plate to cover basically the entire thing. I didn't expect the brisket pieces to be so large either. Also, the amount of tater tots on the plate was significant as well. That's not even to consider the mac & cheese and slaw coming in separate, decently sized cups. Starting with the brisket, I thought this was quite good. What jumped out to me at the start was how well this seemed to be cooked, with beautiful char marks throughout and excellently charred edges. The pieces I had that really nice smoky flavor, and the fat in the meat (since brisket is rather lean - there wasn't too much of it) tasted really good as well. I do think it was a bit dry, as cutting it with a knife required a little bit more effort than cutting a perfectly juicy brisket was, and i did notice some of the meat to be somewhat tough, but I do think both pieces were pretty solid Moving to the fried catfish, I loved how well the breading was seasoned. It had some pepper and other spices that gave it that extra flavor. I liked this less than the brisket, however, due to a) how paper-thin the breading was and b) how easily the breading broke apart from the catfish itself. The entire fillet seemed like it was on the verge of collapse. After my first cut with a fork and knife, a lot of the breading came off, and a good amount of the inner fish spilled out onto the plate. I did think the fish meat was certainly not dry and tasted pretty good, though The tater tots were also fantastic, and there was a lot of them. the fried batter on these was thick and they were quite crunchy as a result. I also appreciated the relish-like sauce that came with them. Another thing that was really good was the slaw - I found the dressing especially to be really flavorful and the vegetables were done well. I liked the mac and cheese less, though, so when it came to prioritizing, I only ended up eating a few bites of it As I already mentioned, the portion size here was pretty insane, and for a price of only around 15 dollars for everything, I thought this ratio was astoundingly good. I would recommend ordering just one for two people, as even as someone who can eat a lot, I had to leave a lot of the mac & cheese and tater tots as I prioritized finishing the main dishes. They certainly don't skimp on size - whether it's the main meat or a side

Blacksburg is located in the New River Valley area of Southwest Virginia, in Montgomery County. Bull and Bones has an ample parking area, which is located directly in front of the restaurant. There is an outdoor seating area which is directly in front of the restaurant. There is also a large seating area inside the restaurant, as well as a large bar. One nice feature of the bar is an ice coated surface which allows customers to keep their drinks cold. There are also pool tables and video games located inside the restaurant. This is the second largest bar/restaurant in Blacksburg (Top of the Stairs in downtown Blacksburg being the largest). Customer service is excellent and always fast and efficient. The restaurant serves mainly American food, which is of excellent quality and very reasonably priced. I live in Blacksburg and am a regular at this restaurant.

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

The menu here offers the option to order single pupusas (what I saw posted online made it seem like…read moreyou were required to order three of the same flavor). This was helpful, as they had several vegetarian ones worth trying (it also seemed that they offered a bean without cheese version).

The extent of service offered was a plastic fork handed to me when I retrieved my own cake slice from the fridge, and I don't think the quality was quite as high as the place I tried in Radford, but if you haven't tried a pupusa, this is a good place to get the experience.

Now let's begin, we waited 30 minutes for a table to be cleaned when nobody was even in the restaurant. Also, are server didn't know that refilling waters was a thing so we reminded him. I got a plain cheeseburger with nothing on it that was clarified to the server and still brought out a cheeseburger with everything on it. I let him know that my cheeseburger wasn't plain and he told me he would fix it but he just brought back the same cheeseburger microwaved for 30 more seconds. With the indentations of the following things still on it. One of my fellow brothers order a LOADED potato soup but for some reason got cheese slime with one potato. For some reason I think the server thought my friend said cheese slime but know he said LOADED potato soup. My brother to the right got Mac and cheese but for some reason it tasted like radioactive cheese with rubber noodles. All I can say is never let Kelsie rogers bring you to this place even though she says it's amazing. It is meant for people without taste buds. For dessert I got a strawberry cheese cake but for some reason I got a strawberry brick. There's honestly not much worse this can get.1 I'm leaving this last comment because I can give props to the rolls that were made. I'm glad they're not that dumb to not know how to microwave bread. This place looks like a mix of an Italian restaurant and an apple bees. That being said it doesn't meet any of those standards. I hope this place only has one location so more people don't have to suffer. I tried find a 0 star review but couldn't. Someone let yelp know that we need one of those. Here are the words from my coach, "Dressing on the side" and also not the type of dressing I ordered. I am now at Los pos and this is what soup is supposed to look like.

I genuinely want to love this place because the food is consistently excellent (see pics!), but the…read moreservice is becoming a dealbreaker. Our most recent visit felt like a "vanishing act"--once our order was taken, we were left with empty glasses and a table cluttered with dirty dishes for the rest of the meal/dessert. The breaking point for an afternoon lunch was the 15-minute wait just to close out our checks after they were dropped off. Our server mentioned they were handling 15 tables at once, so I know they were doing their best; but where is management? I've spent many years working in the service industry in almost every position, and we were trained to ask any table we walked by that looked like there were empty plates to ask if they wanted those cleared for them. Management always checked on tables or was visible on the floor. And this wasn't a 5-star restaurant, it was a chili bar/cafe. There was no one touching tables or assisting a clearly overwhelmed floor. Whether it's a scheduling or staffing issue, the kitchen deserves better support because the service gaps are actively driving us to look elsewhere for lunch. I hope management/ownership takes these reviews seriously and helps support their team and makes a few changes. We want to love this place cuz the food is good, but if service doesn't change then what are we paying/tipping for?

Both were incredibly greasy, almost to the point of being inedible. I also was disappointed that the carbonara had a cream-based sauce, which completely ruins the point. Additionally, the bacon was not well cooked and not crispy at all. The service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was very crowded, so I can't blame them for that. It was very loud inside the restaurant and the tables were quite close together, so we could hear the conversations of everyone around us.
