This was fine for my needs, and indeed I like places with a narrow focus, but it might come as a surprise to some. The space was minimal. I was a bit surprised to see bagels packed in threes; I was expecting to be able to pick them out by flavor one at a time. I was also a bit surprised that the cinnamon rolls their website promised didn't seem to be there, though a few other intriguing baked goods were on sale. Ultimately, I took some mouthwatering rosemary and sundried tomato bagels along with some plain ones for comparison, as well as a chocolate babka cake. The bagels had that bit of sourness that makes them worthwhile, and a nice bit of browning. The babka cake, which I worried would not have enough chocolate, delivered satisfaction on a per-bite basis. What I wanted out of my baked goods is pretty much what i got.

Bulls & Bones: Burgers, BBQ & Brewpub has a lot of "B" alliteration going on. I felt like a steak when I visited, so I went for it. I got the USDA Angus Sirloin, which comes with two sides (I chose steamed broccoli and fries). The steak and sides were good and simple, which was just what I was feeling like that night. I visited Bull & Bones with a group of people, and we ordered a few appetizers to share, so I got to taste some things on the menu. First of all, we got complimentary potato chips for the table. Sweet! We also ordered the fried pickles (not my thing, but people were going off on them). Also, we got two orders of the wings: one was boneless wings with buffalo sauce, and the other was regular bone-in wings with Caroline Gold sauce. My favorite were the wings with Carolina Gold sauce, because of the flavor. They were so savory and slightly sweet. For dessert, we got the warm cookie with two scoops of ice cream (yum!) and the blueberry lemon cake, which didn't look like much but tasted amazing. A little bit of dessert goes a long way, and I think you could get away with sharing a dessert, for sure. The ambiance at Bulls & Bones is casual. It's a sit-down restaurant, but it's not fancy at all.

Our daughter had the Mac n cheese, she loved it we all loved it. Also shared the beans which were possible my favorite! The beans had a nice chonky chunk of brisket swimming in the middle for 2.99! Our service was very very fast we didn't wait at all, I think we were enjoying our meal maybe 5 mins after we sat down? That's amazing by itself. We will be back an recommending to friends.

We had 3 of their 4 versions with the hot honey and bacon version being my favorite. I then decided I needed to eat light, so I got a Southwest Sante Fe salad which came with avocado, tomatoes, corn, cheese and a delicious cilantro lime vinaigrette. The bartender convinced me to add pulled pork. So much for eating light! There was enough pulled pork on the salad to fill up 3 sandwiches. Three Notch'd does flights of 4 for 10.00 and you can add another small pour for 2.5 so I ended up with 5 beers. Their IPAs were solid, but my favorites were the Jazzfest ( I am from New Orleans and all) which was a Pecan Amber ale and the Stoked Goat which was a Doppelbock.

The patio seating is also beautiful, and we sat and watched a storm roll in while enjoying our brews. We didn't try the food, but the table next to us seemed to really enjoy the food. We will absolutely be back to get a new flight (they have a large selection of beers to try) and a meal to enjoy at sunset in the future.

Our kids had only had water and soda and that was clear by looking at the table. Completely ruined our family dinner and that was the last time we will see our college-age son for another 2 months. We have never and would never let our underaged kids drink alcohol in a restaurant. Totally barbaric behavior by the team at eastern divide, with absolutely no reason.

They focus on using fresh, local ingredients from the Glade Road Growing farm as well as local vendors/producers. Along with their food/kitchen, Rising Silo creates their own brews and has quite the selection of beers on tap. The food menu isn't super extensive and they change it monthly based off what is in season. It consists of several wood fired pizzas, burgers, fries, bowls, and more. Ordering is very simple, you order at the kiosk up front, they will hand you a buzzer, it will go off when your food is ready, and you pick it up at the front where you ordered. This ambiance is relaxed and the space is super family-friendly. There is some indoor seating, but definitely more outdoor space available. They have outdoor games for people to enjoy as well. The service is good and friendly. When we visited, it was the weekend of graduation and was quite busy due to graduation parties, etc. There was a longer wait on the food, pizzas specifically, but this wasn't an issue. We were notified in advance on the wait on the pizza before fishing our order, which I appreciated. We snagged a table inside the barn space while we waited and enjoyed some "starters" and brews. To share with the table, we ordered the chips & salsa and the salted pretzel with pimento cheese. The chips & salsa consist of a large bowl of their house-made fresh salsa with mild jalapeños and a basket of chips. The salsa had more of a "minced" consistency with more finely diced tomatoes and was less chunky. The jalapeños added a slight kick and I appreciated the freshness of the salsa. The chips were warm when they were served to us, with a lot of salt. The salted pretzel came from a local vendor, Blacksburg Bagels, and was served with either pimento cheese or dijon mustard. We opted for the pimento and thought it paired well with the pretzel. The pretzel had a good texture, but more doughy/softer texture than a traditional pretzel. The pimento cheese had more prominent flavor from the red peppers, but was still quite flavorful. After sharing these items, we waited about 20-25 minutes for our buzzer with our pizzas! This wasn't a huge deal as it was super busy and we could see them making all the pizzas in front of us. The pizzas are roughly 12 inches, are made with homemade dough, and fired in a wood-fired oven. They are served right of the oven and are super fresh. We ended up ordering the Chicano Pie, Ramp Pesto Pie, and two pepperonis. Both the chicano and ramp pesto pie were monthly specials. The Chicano Pie included tomato sauce, burrata, chorizo, roasted corn, bell pepper, and cotija cheese. I thoroughly enjoyed this as it was very unque. The burrata was creamy and flavorful, the chorizo was smoky, and the corn & bell pepper added a slight sweetness. All these flavors paired very well together, creating a really great pie! The Ramp Pesto Pie had locally foraged ramp pesto, fresh mozzarella, and oyster mushrooms. This pie was also phenomenal with really bold flavors. The ramp added a strong element of onion, but it wasn't too overpowering. Accompanied by the slabs of mozzarella and mushrooms, this pie was also a hit! The pepperoni pie included tomato sauce, pepperoni, and silo blend of cheese. While this was a more simple pie, it certainly didn't lack any flavor. I appreciated that they use the cup n' char pepperonis. The pie had ample amounts of both cheese and pepperonis too. I absolutely loved all the pies we ordered and none of them fell short. Overall, Rising Silo is an awesome place in Blacksburg. The food is extremely good and I love that source their ingredients from local producers. Everything is so fresh and it is evident in the amount of flavor the food has. The star of our meal was easily the pizza, totally worth the longer-than-usual wait! I can easily say it is some of the best pizza I've had in Blacksburg. The char on the crust is perfect from the wood-fired oven. Their menu changes monthly, so look out for new pizza specials! The ambiance is great and really scenic. I truly cannot wait to return and try more.

We didn't get much food, but they have a brick pizza over right in the middle of the room which is really neat. They also have finger foods like pretzels and burgers that looked good, but we went before dinner to just have a few drinks. Great variety of options too from pilsners/lagers to sours and stouts. It's not overly bright inside too which can be bothersome for me at night and it's nice to just relax and enjoy to subtle hint of light (enough to where you can see everything your doing, but not too much where you can see every other person in the room and their facial expressions). The only downside (and it could be because it's slow season) was they only had one register so at times we waited for the line to get drinks TK dwindle down before getting in line ourselves. Might've different during peak season so when we go back during warmer weather and that is the case where they have another register open, I'll be sure to update that. Overall a great time, friendly and helpful staff, and an enjoyable atmosphere!

The brewery was easy to find and we originally thought it was housed inside an old school building but later learned it was previously a health services building. In addition to AFOG, there are also residential apartments in the remaining adjoining part of the building. There is a large outdoor area where a birthday celebration was happening amongst a small group. We proceeded inside and were immediately greeted by Sam. She helped me identify the IPA options and i immediately chose their Millennial Serum, which is a hazy imperial style that I enjoy. We looked around a bit, snapped some photos and looked at their swag. I'm a big tie dye guy and I was happy to see they had a great selection of AFOG tie dye shirts in my size. We decided to sit at the bar while I enjoyed my beer and chatted about our day. We also enjoyed talking with Sam and learning more about the brewery. We learned they are soon opening their second location in Buchanan, Virginia. Great stop, we felt welcomed, the beer was delicious and I have a new tie dye that will remind me of our time in Roanoke.
