The Cellar Restaurant

Food: Greek gyro was ok. They give you an abundance of food to eat however quality is OK.

Service: Very nice people and fast service.

It took a while to get menus and have our order taken. Granted it was dinner hours during the day before VT undergrad graduation so, it's busier than usual. Once we ordered, food came out pretty quickly. My mussels in chopped tomato salsa type sauce was SO salty & overcooked. Rubbery texture. It tasted like mussels had been cooked in brine, frozen then heated up. Will never order again. The others ordered Gyros Sandwich, Cheeseburger, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. All of those tasted fine, no complaints. BUT, the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich had no grilled onions, nor grilled bell peppers. Some restaurants only do grilled onions but this one had nothing. Just 2 romaine lettuce leaves which left us all scratching our heads.
I don't know if we'll be going back here when we go back to Blacksburg.
**The steps to enter the restaurant slopes downward towards the patio and a bit slippery. There are no railings. An old man went crashing down hard onto the brick patio and it looked like he had hit his shoulder against the metal cart by the entrance. We all rushed to help him but his son(?) got him up and had him wait at the sidewalk to get the car. It was extremely scary. So be careful with those steps!!**

Great spot downtown with a nice and relaxed vibe. Came here with a few friends for dinner and would definitely come back! I got the chicken souvlaki kabobs, which were cooked very well. Neither the asparagus nor the chicken were dry, and the rest of my friends were also very happy with what they got.
Service was great, except their default tip options for when you pay were 25, 23, and 22% which is definitely questionable.

This is a classic eatery located in the heart of downtown Blacksburg. They have been around for decades, offering a variety of cuisines. The restaurant has a fun, laid back vibe to it. It is perfect for college students or a good dinner. Being downtown, it could be tricky to find parking. The service is decent, sometimes a little slow, but always friendly. As for the food, they offer wood fired pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, greek food, and pastas. Their pizza is always spot on, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. In the winter, I really enjoy ordering their baked ziti with meatballs or meat lasagna. They are the perfect comfort food on a cold winter day. For an appetizer, I would 100% recommend their house-made spinach and artichoke dip, served with warm pitas. They are known for their spinach and artichoke dip and it is a must order! Their greek salad is also a great option, served with copious amounts of olives, feta, and veggies, served with 2 dolmas. Most of their entrees are also served with a piece of garlic bread, which is always yummy! If you are looking for a good spot to dine in or takeout in Blacksburg, the Cellar is a great place to consider.

The staff was friendly and nice. We sat outside as it was a perfect day. Here are some of the things we ordered: pita and taziki. Everyone enjoyed this and they give you a ton of taziki. Crab cakes were ok, they came with taziki and a sauce that was on the sweeter side. Cheese pizza was average. Rigatoni and meatballs, the pasta was good a bit overcooked for some but I didn't mind it. It was cheesy but could have used a bit more sauce maybe order it on the side. Chicken kabob, potatoes and broccoli. The chicken is seasoned heavily with a lot of pepper so this is only good if you are a pepper fan. They have a great happy hour with beers half off. This was our first time here as we are visiting Virginia Tech. The food is average, I'd only return for happy hour, have some drinks and maybe try a different appetizer.

The cellar is my favorite restaurant in Blacksburg!! Great food for a great price. They have a great lunch special for the pizzas and sandwiches where you get your meal with a drink for under $10. It can get busy at times, but they have a downstairs portion of the restaurant that a lot of people don't know about. And if it's nice, highly recommend sitting outside!

Here's some of my favorite menu items, but you really can't go wrong.
- the curly fries are some of the best fries out there, and I love the meatball sub
- the pizza is awesome.
- the gyros and chicken souvlaki pitas are great.
- I love the chicken parm too. This time I got the greek spaghetti which was good but wished it had more of a sauce and more feta.

The food was great! The beer menu was interesting. Our server was pretty good. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely appalling experience. Came for a tour with my kid VA Tech, the food was good but i think it's my worst experience in a restaurant ever!! we had to wait over 30 mins for an appetizer (meanwhile both tables either side of us received their food before us and were seated after) the server was just rude, not incredibly interested if we needed silverware after having our food served, so food sat there and got cold until she returned with silverware, finally ready to go and she switched my credit card up with another customer and then double charged me with his food as well
As mine so even though they gave me a voided receipt I have to call the restaurant and get the additional
Money back that was double charged on top of my meal. The food was good but just not worth the hassle .... UGH!

The service was wonderful. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich was good, crusty bread, flavorful sauce- the pizza not so much. It seemed like a pre baked crust with very bland toppings. It had no flavor.

Frequent this place a lot. We live in NRV seasonally. June to December. This was our 3rd visit since June. Previous two like most were great. Outdoor dining good food. This evening was our worst ever. Not sure what is going on. Seated ourselves outside. When we arrived 2 outside tables were taken. After 5-10 minutes no servers came out and one man went inside to see if they were open. Two vacant tables had un-bused dishes. Not sure about inside but 4 servers for 6 tables. Service was slow and not up to their norm. Both entrees, were just not their norm. All servers were new faces.
