Christiansburg: Where to Eat During Covid
Two weeks ago, there was a blog about where to eat in Blacksburg and this one focuses on Christiansburg. The resiliency our local restaurants have shown during this difficult time is impressive. Our local restaurants are an important part of the feel of our community. They are often the first to sponsor kids' sports teams and educational funds. Please support our local businesses during this time.
This gem in the Cambria area has always been a great place for family meals and relaxed lunch meetings. Some people love spaghetti night, but their cheese steaks are a favorite of mine. The takeout pizza is also great.
Open for curbside, take out, or door dash. If you would like to have your food brought out to your car please let them know when you call the order in and call and let them know you are in the parking lot.
Follow them on Facebook for specials as they keep the favorites on the menu and add other items.
Their online ordering page is through Door Dash, which takes several fees from the restaurant. To avoid that so all of your money goes straight to Amelias, phone the store to place an order at 540-381-7878
If you haven't tried Dude's yet, it's a throwback to a different time. It's already set up for C19 regulations because it has always been a drive in. You can go to the window to order and car hops will bring it out to your car when it's ready. They serve typical drive in fare, like burgers, hot dogs, and bbq that garner high praise from locals. The real treat is the hot apple pie - don't leave without ordering a slice. You can also drop by in the mornings for breakfast items like biscuits, breakfast plates, and egg sandwiches.
Take away and parking lot dining has always been their thing!
Considered by many to be *the* source of fine local BBQ, owner Marie March has won regional and national awards for smoking and for her sauces. The pork BBQ is my favorite menu item, but others swear by the brisket. Pro tip: leftover bbq freezes well.

If you haven't tried the Mockingbird Cafe yet, you're missing out. This local cafe has the feeling of a cozy European bakery. Their pastries are great as is the Brugh Coffee they serve, but if you're looking for lunch, look no further than their array of hearty sandwiches on delectable breads - they're best paired with a cookie or slice of cake.
They're open Tuesday- Saturday 9:00a-1:00p. And you can order by phone at 540-382-3432 or online for curbside service.
The patio is open at 50% occupancy, but if you want one of these coveted spots, you'll need a reservation. Their new menu is limited, but takeout is also available from 4pm-8pm.
