Poppy’s — Restaurant in Christiansburg

I ordered a red dog, drink and a bbq sandwich and my total was around $14. I ordered chili, mustard and onion on the hotdog and I ordered bbq sauce & coleslaw for the bbq sandwich.

The hotdog was nothing to rave about. The chili is “just ok” honestly tastes store bought? I took a bite or two and then gave it to my less pixky partner. I’m super picky about hotdog chili.

The bbq sandwich was pretty good, but I would recommend heating the bun. It was weird eating a bbq sandwich with warm meat on a cold bun.

I ordered a twist soft serve with sprinkles after eating my meal. I love sprinkles. You could see that the girl was struggling to get them on and the supply was low. Whenever I order a soft serve cone around here with sprinkles, no one is able to cover the ice cream in the sprinkles. Where I’m from - and I don’t know how they do it - all of the soft serve is covered in sprinkles. A lot of carnivals and theme parks do this.

Anyway, I’d give it a solid 3 out of 5. Wasn’t horrible. Wasn’t amazing. Ice cream choices...

Where do I start? It’s a long distance from our home but it’s worth it! The atmosphere of this place is amazing so friendly so kind and LAID back they are just the sweetest family! The ice cream is always changing which is honestly great because of all the new flavors you get to try! The family that owns this or works here are just humble people and they love seeing you walk in the door! They also have hotdogs which are so good with coleslaw and some chicken salad I haven’t tried but I’m sure it’s great the bbq is great it’s all home made even down to the cakes! Also they’re people who know that people who love ice cream want a real cone with a real serving of ice cream but they pack it to the top which keeps us coming back time and time again! They deserve ten...

My wife and I was excited to see Poppy's open. The owners were very nice, but one of the ladies working behind the counter was chewing gum while serving food and milkshakes. Chewing gum is a big no no when serving food to the public. They also are a little stingy with their portions. Finally when I see a sign inside the establishment that reads best hot dogs in town and the owner comes from the back with pink hot dogs I just laughed and said to myself ain't no way these are the best hot dogs in town. It doesn't seem like these boys have a lot of experience running a food establishment. Just a couple good ol boys trying to make some money. Hopefully they get it going soon. I hope they are successful but I will keep going to Gardner's...
