A Blacksburg staple! See below for our favorites. Katrina's Order: Lemon Grilled Shrimp Taco, Tavarua Tuna Taco, Avacado Pasta salad (extra jalapenos!), with a "Nectar of the Gods" Marg Nick's Order: Honey Glazed Salmon Tacos
This Blacksburg hole in the wall will serve up the BEST gyros. Katrina's Order: Chicken gyro Nick's Order: Lamb and chicken over rice
For the folks looking for a Blacksburg fine dining, The Black Hen will deliver. The menu changes but we guarantee it will be delicious. Highly recommend making reservations.
This is a breakfast MUST. Keep in mind this establishment is vegan/pescatarian.... but that never stopped us from frequenting. Katrina's Breakfast Order: Chappie's Choice with a buttermilk biscuit and coffee. Nick's Breakfast Order: Same as Katrina
This sister bakery to Gillies was a frequent Sunday morning visit for us and holds a special place in our heart. There's a lot of coffee shops around Blacksburg now, but this is the OG.
Great place to get together with a group the night before the wedding! Also a stunning view of the mountains and beautiful outdoor space. Check out the website for events.
Beautiful, relaxed environment offering farm-to-table food and bevies :)
For those who want to get in a lift- this place is old school but very large and has everything you need. It's a $10 day pass.
Want a quiet morning stroll? Huckleberry Trail it is. Our favorite trailhead is Downtown Blacksburg (Harrell Street, Blacksburg) The Huckleberry Trail begins on Miller Street across the street from the Blacksburg Library and Blacksburg Bed and Breakfast.
Frequent date night for us, you'll enjoy the elevated "lab" quirks as you dine and drink. They have wonderful wine selections. Fun Fact: Virginia Tech offers a wine class (Geography of Wine) that is taught by professor John Boyer. In 2018 the same professor opened Blacksburg Wine Lab and often times would be the one behind the bar serving us.
Open Saturday 8AM to 2PM in May. Highly recommend to guests before the wedding festivities. Gillies and Bollos are one street away!
