5. Applebee’s This well-known chain restaurant is one of the most popular places to eat among Bluefield residents and BC students. Applebee’s offers a wide variety of options from steak and chicken, to seafood and pastas. There is something perfect for everyone here. Applebee’s is also famous for offering its appetizers half-priced daily from 3-6 p.m. as well as after 9 p.m. They are not only very affordable, but also have great service. Applebee’s even offers curbside service when you order a meal online or by phone. “I like Applebee’s because after 9 p.m. they have half-priced apps,” said BC student Mason West. “Frommy high school years, it’s been the hangout place for students after 9.”

4. Savory Flavors LLC Stop by locally family-owned Savory Flavors for a delicious “home-cooked” meal. Specializing in southern style food, Savory Flavors serves a variety of platters, including pulled pork, chicken, barbecue nachos, barbecue tacos, loaded potatoes, and much more. They serve their 12-hour hickory smoked barbecue straight from their custom smoker daily. Some even say “it’s the best smokin’ hot, smokin’ good barbecue you’ll find in this neck of the woods.” This location is also very convenient for students since it is just an eight-minute drive from campus. “I like to eat at Savory Flavors because it’s so small and the owner is so friendly,” said BC student Aynae Simmons. “The chicken platter is amazing, along with the buffalo chips, and the barbecue sauces tie it all together. I suggest if you want somewhere new to eat, it should be there.”

3. The Villa Step onto an Italian street corner at one of Bluefield’s best Italian restaurants, The Villa. They have a variety of entrees, including both Italian and American dishes. From their four-cheese lasagna, creamy crab and shrimp ravioli, fettucine alfredo, and delicious steaks and sandwiches, you are sure to find something that will please your appetite. They also have a very inviting atmosphere set with dim lights and candle-lit tables. It is perfect for date nights or a nice dinner with friends. “I love attending The Villa for the fantastic spaghetti,” said BC student Leah Plott. “The taste is irreplaceable. The wait staff has always gone above and beyond. The environment sets a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere after a long day.”
