The Hatch

First time eating here. Ordered from brunch menu and wasn't disappointed. Homemade waffle light and fluffy that melts in your mouth topped with blueberry sauce. Father ordered chicken gravy and biscuit. Gravy is the best I have ever put in my mouth. Highly recommend!

Very nice place near stadium. The chicken and waffles were delicious as were the home fries. I was surprised by their wide selection of drinks as well…even piña coladas. Our server, Karen, was wonderful and very sweet, and we were greeted with a smile by all. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area, too. We will definitely return next time we’re in Blacksburg.

The food here is an inspired and contemporary interpretation of classic dishes set in a spacious and upbeat atmosphere. There is something here for everyone making this place an easy destination for any occasion. Our server Autumn did an awesome job taking our order and getting our meals out quickly. Looking forward to coming back again!

We dined during the Blacksburg soft opening. Our server, Matt, was very knowledgeable on the menu. The hush puppies, served with honey butter, were fantastic! We had the catfish po boy with a side of Mac n cheese and The Hatch handheld with a side of whipped sweet potato. Both were excellent, with the whipped sweet potato being the standout with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The bar area looked very nice, and the outdoor seating area is very cute with table seating, lit umbrellas, and a a tabletop fire pit.

Overall, the place was okay. We went during their opening weeks, so they’re still finding their rhythm. The portion sizes were fair for the price, though it could be slightly more affordable. The food was decent, the chicken gravy was overly salty (but definitely an innovative take on gravy!), and the biscuits were a bit undercooked. The fried chicken had a nice breading-to-meat ratio but was on the dry side. We also tried the waffle sliders, and that chicken was much better cooked. The side of potatoes, however, was also dry. Service was friendly and polite, though they checked on us a few too many times. Our food arrived warm and within a reasonable wait. Overall, not a bad experience, we'd be open to trying it again once they’ve had more time to settle in.
