The Bad Apple - Pembroke

We had great food and amazing service in this Quant speak easy style restaurant... absolutely loved it

The Bad Apple completely exceeded our expectations, and they were already pretty high! The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is DIVINE, the cocktails are outstanding, and the staff? chefs kiss. They really round out the entire experience they're attentive and warm without being overbearing. We recommend the prime rib bruschetta (and complimentary homemade cornbread), filet, and j chicken. If they have the crème brûlée on the dessert menu, GET IT. The old fashioned and whiskey sour were a hit, too. We will absolutely be back, we're already scoping out the menu for what to try next!! Do yourself a favor and make the reservation!

Highly recommended for an enjoyable date night, excellent food and atmosphere. We enjoyed drinks, entrees, desserts…the works. This is a great place to spend a special night out.

What a surprise !! This restaurant is one of the best all around dining experiences we have had in quite a while. Tucked back away from US route 460, on a knoll down a dirt road, you come to an unmarked barn, thinking you must be dreaming. Inside you find the re-creation of a speakeasy. Wait staff is friendly, prompt, and each of the wait staff has a name, ours was Crazy Kat. Drinks and food are locally sourced for the most part and are just superb. I had filet mignon, grits, asparagus, all done to perfection. If you are near Virginia Tech or just passing through, it is most definitely worth the visit. Reservations required.

I can only share my experience my one time experience on a busy weekend, with a fixed menu.First off Staff was INCREDIBLE. They easily handled our 15 person party on VA Tech graduation weekend. We had multiple changes to our res, and they were super sweet to our group, including 2 under 10.Food? Meh. It was tasty. A fixed ish 4 course menu is never a chef's place to shine. It was a solid meal. Now, worth the $60 per head? Probably not.Cocktails? Ok, tended a bit sweetVenue? Cool. With cows.Location? Easy drive out from Blacksburg, but gravel road for the last mile which was a little rough for us city folk in a sedan.
