Not the biggest place on the planet but very nice/homey. Has a nice cajun/Louisiana atmosphere but could be stepped up a bit. Bar is only about 8 seats wide and the beer selection was alright. Not very many BMC products at all but have a nice line-up of East brews to accompany their selection of Abita. I had a crawfish po' boy and it was real good...haven't had crawfish in a while and it tasted fresh. Good place to get some cajun food and maybe a beer, but definitely not a hang out all night spot.

Boudreaux's is one of my favorite places to hang out in Blacksburg. It doesn't have the largest selection, but it's got enough that I can always find something I like.

Atmosphere - I really like the vibe at Boudreaux's, especially on the rooftop deck where there's plenty of seating and good views of Main Street below. It's really laid back, and the people there always seem to be enjoying themselves.

Quality: The quality is typical of any bar/restaurant. The beer comes in a pint glass, regardless of the style, and it all comes at the same cold temperature. It is what it is - not bad, but not special. Beer quality has always been fine.

Service: The service has always been good for me at Boudreaux's. The servers are really friendly and cheerful, and on my most recent trip, the server was even helpful in recommending beers. You get the sense that they are just as laid back as the customers, which I enjoy.

Selection: Boudreaux's doesn't have the largest selection in Blacksburg, but I typically find something to enjoy. They always have on-tap selections from Chimay, Abita, Brooklyn and Flying Dog, and they have a decent number of other labels available in the bottle. I really appreciate that they always have local/regional brews on tap, too, like Blacksburger Pils, Highlands and Shooting Creek.

Food: I enjoy the enormous portions of Cajun and Creole food they serve here. I especially like the seafood gumbo served with a huge chunk of cornbread. The menu is large and features everything from salads to sandwiches to larger entrees.
