Backstreets Restaurant
Dec 7, 2008 by Brad from Blacksburg
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[7] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Quality pizza, close to Campus.
• Terrible service sometimes, staff is rude sometimes not always.

“The host/hostess situation at Backstreets has been terrible for years. No one greets you and sometimes you just stand there for 10-15 minutes while the servers walk by looking at you and the others standing there waiting. After you are seated, the service may be great or it may be terrible depending on who you get. It really varies. Don't count on drink refills. The pizza is quite good. The quality of the buffet pizzas is far better than pizza hut. The pizzas typically have several toppings and they ensure there are a variety of pizzas. You know the food is good when we locals keep returning despite the service. The lunch buffet is under $5 now, which is a great price.”

Backstreets Restaurant

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• They make good food.
• Small restaurant.

“This is one of the few places in town that actually makes good food. They are not a bar; dont try to wow you with how many TVs they have. They just serve great food. I was greeted within 2 minutes of walking in the door, sat in a nice booth. I have tried several of the restaurants in town; TVs and pool tables can not hide frozen food and lack service. Backstreets actually tries and succeeds to be a nice place to eat.”

Joes Diner Inc
Apr 4, 2008 by Jon from Uzzle
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[4] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Decent food.
• Management lacks business skills.

“Joe's Diner advertises to be open 24 hours but decides to close whenever they please and blames it on their employees. The food is decent but there the only game in town so the service is extremely poor, slow in the kitchen and the ambience is a poor attempt of a 50's diner with a slack paint job. If your trying to use the bathroom you have to deal with the constant interruption because the management is to slack to fix the lock. You can barley read the menus due to the fact that they are photo copies with jam, water, and syrup spilt all over them. This town is in serious need of a Dennys, waffle house, or any breakfast spot other than Joes.”

Food:[5] • Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Large portions.
• Management, bugs, boring menu.

“Food is served hot, but so is the wine for which they charge an additional $2.00 corking fee read rip off. There are so many little bugs flying around that it makes you wonder if the place is sanitary. .”
