10 Restaurants In Blacksburg, VA That Will Have You Salivating Over Your Keyboard
Kate Wollenberg

After living in Blacksburg for the past four years, I would like to think I can make my way around and as a girl who loves to eat, I have had my fair share of taste testing what Blacksburg has to offer. Whether the event is for a date or you haven't seen your best friend in what feels like forever, Blacksburg has some perfect restaurants to relax and pig out. I have compiled a list of some of my favorite Blacksburg restaurants and might help you decide what to eat for tonight.

10. Benny Marzano's

Where else can you get pizza the size of your head? The pizza is relatively cheap considering the size of the slice and some of their specialty pizzas can rock your world. Highly recommend the pepperoni pizza, very classic and tasty.

9. Our Daily Bread

If you love brunch, go here. The food is fantastic and you get a lot for what you pay for. Did I mention their pastries are heavenly? Highly recommend the pancakes and hash browns, you won't regret it.

8. El Rodeo

Perfect place for cheap drinks and cheap food. Whether you start your downtown adventure here with a jumbo marg or really craving chimichangas for the day, this restaurant is one to definitely eat at. Highly recommend the chimichangas, fajitas and enchiladas.

7. Gillie's

Not only is getting brunch on the Hokie Bucket List, but Gillie's brunch is a staple in friendships. They are a vegetarian/vegan restaurant but believe me, even if you only eat meat, you have to try this. Their lunch and dinner menus are also fantastic, highly recommend the black bean burger and French toast.

6. Sharkey's

They have specials basically every day but the best special is Monday with a buy one burger get one free and honestly, one of the best burger places I have ever eaten at. The No Name Burger is definitely my favorite but you could not go wrong with any of their burgers. Happy hour is also one to not miss.

5. Sake House

I believe this is the best sushi shop in Blacksburg and on Mondays they have half priced sushi. The atmosphere is very calm and perfect for a date or catching up with an old friend. I highly recommend Blacksburg Maki and Salmon Nigri, you will slip into a food coma after eating your weight in sushi but 110% worth it.

4. PK's Bar and Grill

I love PK's for their pizza and beers on draft, as well on Thursdays they have Tijuana Toss where you could potentially get a free pizza as long as you order something else on the menu (get the buffalo chicken dip). I have had my fair share of pizza and knowing what is good pizza after growing up with Buffalo, New York pizza which is to die for, and PK's is definitely good pizza. The crust and sauce is amazing so go ahead and give it a try.

3. Marco and Luca's

One of my favorite, favorite places to go eat. Marco and Luca's is super cheap and produce high-quality Chinese food. I highly recommend the dumplings and make sure you get multiple orders because you won't want to stop eating those for days.

2. The Cellar

Best. Italian. In. Blacksburg. Their pizza, pasta, calzones, you really can't go wrong with the Cellar. They also have a bar directly under the restaurant so that is pretty convenient. Anything on their menu is absolutely wonderful and if your parents come visit you or you are stopping by, eat here. Highly recommend the chicken parm.

1. Cabo Fish Taco

If you have ever talked to me, I rant and rave about how Cabo is my favorite restaurant in Blacksburg. At first, I was weary because fish tacos sound disgusting and I would much rather stay with traditional Mexican food, but holy smokes was I wrong. I have only ever had their tacos, mainly SOY GINGER SHRIMP TACOS, but I am 100% sure the rest of their food is just as good. If you are ever in Blacksburg, eat here immediately, my mouth is watering thinking about these tacos.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
