"Macado's bills itself as a neighborhood bar. It plays out more like a twist on Applebee's or O'Charley's. We were trying to decide which building it used to be. The decor has been changed so that almost every bit of wall space is covered with quaint photos and Liberty University memorabilia. Jade welcomed us brightly and seated us, taking our drink orders right away. That's a nice service touch. The fare is mainly sandwiches and burgers, with a section of wraps and appetizers. It's mostly bar food oriented food. The portions are huge, too, so consider sharing. Two of us ordered burgers, which were big and tasty. We had the chips and onion rings. The onion rings were excellent. Good, flavorful onions and a crispy batter. The Reuben sandwich was reported to be a little flat in taste, but was helped tremendously by the horseradish aoli, which was requested on the side. I had the Irish Nachos. This was a gigantic serving of nachos--chili, lettuce, black olives, cheese sauce, and jalapenos--but served on a bed of the chips. They did not seem to hold up as well as tortilla chips might have, and were overall a little bland. The chili was not spicy. On the whole, all the dishes seemed to favor portion extravagance over flavor. It didn't taste bad, but it did nothing to distinguish itself from any other place that might offer the same things. There's a long list of sandwiches with enough variety to satisfy any group or party. They have Coke products, and a full bar which we did not sample from this visit. Macado's deserves a couple more visits to sample a few sandwiches."
