Where to eat after the game?

Rivermill is great in Blacksburg, but it’ll be very packed after the game. It has burgers and tater tots.

If you want greek (specialty pizza/pasta) go to The Cellar, if you want regular pizza PKs. All those places are within easy walking distance of campus (along with several other good restaurants but if I had to pick just one it’d be one of those.)

Traffic will be a nightmare toward CBurg after the game so you may be best off eating in town to wait that out a bit, but if you decide to head back Bull and Bones is a pretty decent steak place and the japanese steakhouse in Christiansburg is pretty good.

Is the brunch on Saturday? Parking is going to be rough but I’ve got a good tip on that. Get off of 460 on the Tom’s Creek exit and turn toward the 7-11 on Tom’s Creek. After you pass through the intersection (with the 7-11 on your right) you’ll be headed toward campus so the longer you stay on the shorter your walk will be, but the more you’ll pay (in the neighborhood of $10-$25.) If you see the elementary school on your left there isn’t much left so you may want to pull in at the next opportunity.

Once you park just walk down Tom’s Creek and you’ll see campus. To get to Donaldson Brown you really basically walk a straight line. Tom’s Creek turns into Stanger, and once you pass the Drillfield Stanger turns into Kent, and DB is on the left. It’s about a mile walk.
