Macado's Restaurant

Macado's Restaurant at 922 University City Blvd in Blacksburg, Virginia, is a beloved local institution that has been serving hearty, generously-portioned sandwiches since 1978. Founded by Richard Macher in downtown Roanoke, this campus favorite has grown into a regional chain while maintaining its quirky, eclectic atmosphere featuring cartoon memorabilia, antique decorations, and local nostalgic touches. The menu stars their legendary overstuffed sandwiches like the Babe Ruth piled high with salami, ham, provolone, pepperoni, and balsamic vinaigrette, or The Hindenburg loaded with ham, bacon, melted cheddar on grilled rye. Paitly's Cobb Salad satisfies lighter appetites, while crispy wings and juicy burgers round out the offerings. Located just minutes from Virginia Tech campus, Macado's draws crowds of college students, families, and locals seeking reasonable prices and generous portions. The restaurant is renowned for its annual St. Patrick's Day bash and legendary Halloween party, which have become traditions for generations of Virginia Tech Hokies. Open daily from 9am, with online ordering available for convenient takeout and catering services for events.
