Local Restaurants to Enjoy in Blacksburg
As a local business in a small town, we believe in supporting each other every step of the way. That’s why today we wanted to highlight some other amazing local restaurants here in Blacksburg. Most local places, unlike chain restaurants, provide housemade menu items using fresh ingredients. And, oh my, they’re delicious! So, the next time you’re craving Chipotle or Panera, think about trying one of these local spots instead!
If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy some tasty and top-notch beer, you should definitely try the Maroon Door. They’re a local restaurant known for their amazing burgers and brewery, so the perfect place to have dinner and drinks. And because they’re located right by the VT campus, you don’t have to walk far at all. If you time it right, you can catch the sunset by the Pylons on the way there.
If you’re more of a wine drinker, 622 north is another great place to enjoy drinks with your meal. The restaurant and wine lounge has an impressive wine selection along with a variety of other drinks paired with mouth-watering food. They also have an outdoor space to enjoy your meal outside!
During the day, there are also some incredible local breakfast and lunch places to go to. If you’re looking for a restaurant with lots of vegetarian options, Gillies is the place to go, and if you’re a huge fan of potatoes and eggs, you’re in for a treat if you order the Gillies Special!
Right next door to Gillies is Greens Grill and Sushi bar. I don’t know about you, but sushi always hits the spot. They’re located right near Main Street and not far from the drill field, so it’s the perfect lunch destination if you're spending the day downtown or on campus, or perfect dinner spot if you’re planning on hitting the bars in the evening. Not a fan of sushi? That’s not a problem, because they have plenty of other inviting menu items such as burgers, tacos, and sandwiches.
We hope this gave you some new ideas about places to try with your friends and family in Blacksburg! Until next time!
