You can stay in Roanoke also. It's like an hour drive though. Ive stayed there several times when I have gone.

This is good. When those Blacksburg folk get soused, it can be really rowdy. A nooner is a really good thing!

Packed because there is nothing to do around Blacksburg, this it.
I grew up around there, trust me.

if anyone is driving 77 to 81, this place is worth a stop north of Charlotte. it's rated as the best cheeseburger in the state and it lives up to the billing. good grief it's amazing.

I have a lab in Mooresville and we eat there when I’m in town. It’s a good burger, but…best in the state? I guess it is North Carolina. I’ve had better elsewhere. Now, their sweat tea and truffle fries are to die for.

I have never had a sip of coffee past the tip of my tongue. Gag reflex kicks in. Can't stand the taste.

That entire complex and all of the restaurants are owned by the same guy. I believe he's an Italian guy that started with the Italian restaurant. Can't remember for sure.

AGREE DONT START
.As a young tech grad - gagged on coffee. But while on SE asia vacstion it was only thing besides water and it helped keep me awake. Wish i never got started
Worst coffee - after retun from vacation was engr on pipeline near a loading dock on Miss river. In meeting i was offered coffee weak or tug captians coffee - that was a mistake to try to drink black - tea they laughed at the goung engr.
Best tasting coffee. Working in equador on pipeline i said at the fsncy hotel in quito. When they drew a cup for you they let boiling hot water cascaded over a very tall tray of beans - right into your cup. It was robust but not bitter - adding non pasteurized cream made me feel rich.

Coffee to avoid = Starbucks

BOURBON TO AVOID = Atlata cheapest = Rebel Yell.

I wish I was going but my son could not get a kitchen pass as we planned because of his wife's birthday.
Be loud & proud and pull us through this one!
