Best Place to Take Your ParentsCollege Prowler Take
While on-campus dining has lots to offer, students like to go off campus from time to time to experience a little variety. Blacksburg is a small town, but it has a good number of different restaurants to choose from. Indian, seafood, vegetarian, vegan, burgers, and pizza are all within walking distance of the campus. There are a dozen or so fast food places, but most of the restaurants in town are locally owned and priced to fit within a college student’s budget. Cabo, Moe’s, and El Rodeo’s are all great choices for some delicious Mexican food. Gillie’s is a popular vegetarian, vegan, and seafood restaurant known for its breakfasts on the weekends. Poor Billy’s also offers seafood, and Big Al’s Grille & Sports Bar sits above it, in case you’d like to follow dinner with a beer. Being a campus town, there are all kinds of pizza options. Chain pizza places like Dominos, Papa John’s, and Pizza Hut are around, but students tend to gravitate more to the local pizza places—Backstreets Pizza, PK’s, and Anthony’s. Cheap but filling food can be found at Macado’s or Joe’s Diner. Joe’s is great for late-night eating, since it is open 24/7. Take a date or your family to Zeppoli’s, and enjoy some Italian food, or celebrate a good test grade with jumbo margaritas at El Rodeo’s. Other food favorites include Boudreaux’s, Mike’s, Sharkey’s, Five Guys, and the Homeplace. Students Speak Out

I love to eat off campus. I would recommend Anthony’s for awesome pizza and Italian dishes, PK’s for the pizza, the Cellar for a great variety of beer and some excellent Italian food, and Rivermill for some yummy vegetarian goodness. |

There is a wide variety of restaurants off campus, though they don’t always have stellar food. Typical college fare, for the most part. The Cellar is good for pizza, and the Homeplace has wonderful home cooking. |

Blacksburg has pretty much whatever you want to eat, and if it doesn’t, Christiansburg does. Most of the restaurants downtown are really good. Sharkey’s and More Than Coffee are my favorites. Most of the fast food restaurants are right off the edge of campus. If you go a little ways from campus, there is a Five Guys, which rocks. Macado’s is great for deli sandwiches. |

Restaurants in Blacksburg are everywhere. If you don’t like the on-campus food, try eating out, because it’s great and mostly inexpensive. I would suggest Macado’s, Hokie House, and the Homeplace. |
