“My friend and I ate here yesterday and I have not stopped thinking about the drunken noodles. Nicholas was a phenomenal server and everyone there was just so kind. We will be back (Maybe today haha)”

“Fantastic! My omelet was huge and delicious. I’m very picky when it comes to a good omlete and I was very satisfied. The home fries with peppers and onions were delicious! I absolutely loved them. Great portion size, tasty food, needless to say I am quite satisfied. Happy to have a new breakfast place to enjoy ?”

“We had Outside the Cone cater our wedding, and it was a HUGE hit with our guests! The staff was incredibly friendly, and they were absolutely game with using our custom ice cream cups (mini baseball helmets, like at the games!). We got Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cookies and Cream, which, again, were all HUGE hits with our guests. We've been to the in-person store a few times as well, and it was just as good there as it was at our wedding. This is one of Lynchburg's best ice cream shops, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for either a sweet treat, or a catered event!”

“Staff was great! Excellent customer service, fresh products and pleasant environment!

Parking: Parking is very convenient and
close by!”

“While visiting Lynchburg for a band competition my husband and I were looking for a good lunch - not the normal CFA, Cracker Barrel, etc. The reviews are what brought us and it did not disappoint!!! My husband got an arepa. I got 2 empanadas - a bean/beef/cheese/ plantain one and a chicken one. The first was as big as my hand! The second a little smaller. Both were absolutely delicious - hot, fresh, crunchy, flavorful. We also got the plantain rings as an appetizer. Of the 4 you get, we could only eat 2. They’re filling and have so much delicious cheese. I really wish this place was closer to where I live because it’s some of the best Venezuelan food I’ve ever eaten. HIGHLY recommend!!!”

“The food is so good, the service is excellent. Even when they are busy. They move quick and are friendly with everyone. Makes you want to come back. Definitely recommend this place. Especially if you have never been before.”

“Will DEFINITELY be going back. Absolutely delicious food. 5/5 Stars.”

“Moved back to the area after being gone for 2 years and decided try the holiday meal and it was GOOD. Mac and cheese was good as always and the stuffing tasted just like grandma's. County smoak has never disappointed.”

“Be sure you have lots of time if u visit Al Ryan's as he makes everything fresh. The food was wonderful and u can tell it has been prepared just for you. Al gave me some Curry to sample and it was amazing. wonderful spice pallet. the lamb used in the dishes was prepared perfectly. It was moist and savory just like I remember it in New York. Al is a wonderful guy and deserves your business.”

“I love this place. Very warm & welcoming; the food is (always) beyond my expectations & I stop by 3-4 times per week. Yummy food & its HEALTHY. That's a win win. Highly Recommended”

“PERFECT!! The service, the food and the atmosphere. A nice little date night spot. 100% will go back when I’m in town again”

“We have eaten at Olive Garden for years but our last experience was not good. We have always had amazing waiters and waitresses but tonight our waitress acted like it was an inconvenience to go get us another salad, and breadsticks. Well last time I checked soup, salad and breadsticks were unlimited. It's a shame it has now became our least favorite place.”

“Good food but $1.25 “egg rolls” sure look like thumb-sized spring rolls to me but what would I know ... And no Chicken Wings here”

Thank you guys again.”

“Amazing experience!! Everything about this restaurant will have you reminiscing for weeks. The atmosphere is so unique and upscale, and not something I would expect to find in Lynchburg. The craft cocktails are delicious and I couldn’t get enough of the food!! Incredibly high quality. My personal favorites were the empanadas and the wings. I look forward to seeing what changes are made on the rotating menu.”

“The nicest lady took my order by the name of Zamarionna! Not to take ANYTHING from anyone else that was working because everyone was so pleasant from the manager on duty to the gentleman offering a “bite”! However Zamarionna kept the same glowing energy even when she had nobody to help! From the inside out she was everything!!!! Thank you!! Today was very trying and YOU were the breath of fresh air that was needed!!!”

“The biscuits are a cut above other fast food breakfast restaurants.The ingredients are fresh, and the biscuits are light and flaky. The service is always great! You can't go wrong at Biscuit ville. As a bonus, they serve breakfast until 2 PM, which I especially appreciate.”

“Second review after ownership change.. The best dish hands down was the fish and chips... since new ownership has taken over the portion of fish is much smaller. The quality seems to be less, but overall, okay. This used to be our go to place to treat out of town family.. but not anymore.”

“I gotta say customer service, food quality, and seasonal menu items have improved over the last 2 years. Been going to this location for years to dine-in or use curbside to go for carryout. With the price increases in fast food chains, Applebee's has been a better option if your not in a rush. They had a special that gives this huge sandwich (burger or chicken), fries, and a drink for 9.99 that had me stuffed. Sometimes you can add flavors to their lemonade like blue raspberry. Cocktails are decent, but they stop serving alcohol 30 minutes before they close, same as most places in Lynchburg for last calls. I showed up on St Patrick's day but late like 10:40pm so I tried out the new lemonade since I couldn't order a beer and it was yummy. My favorite dish is the chicken fried wonton tacos! Everyone was super nice to me despite me showing up 20 minutes to closing and my food was excellent and came out faster than expected.

Kid-friendliness: They have a few kid portion meal options

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is available”

“Iced lattes are always on point!”

“service is always good. friendly people is always a plus when eating at restaurants. there are some friendly people there. thank you for looking out for the community!”

“Best sandwich I ever had and big too”

“I always start my day off with a smoothie from this Smoothie King and it has truly become something I look forward to having as a breakfast substitute and it works for me!! Love Mary and her wonderful staff”

“I had been to a lot of Japanese restaurants, but none of them were like Osaka. They got the best teriyaki chicken in town. I highly recommend them. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.”

“I have reached my goal of 100,000 Chick-fil-A points! Great food and great service!”

“Really great idea to have a little express coffee shed! Love the ease of access for drive through. I got a vanilla latte w/ oat milk (just ok; kinda bland) & chocolate covered espresso beans (ahhhmazing).

Would return but would try another sweeter/more flavored coffee! Only other idea for improvement would be to modernize/ update the shed to make it look a little more appealing to customers.

Parking: 2 drive through lanes so no need to park. Nearby parking is ample & available but not a dine-in restaurant it appears.”

“I got a 12in for lunch today and my sub was soo delicious!!!! 10/10 recommend!!”

“They made a delicious and nicely decorated cookie cake for my son’s party. It was delicious and a hit! Great customer service also!”

“Great food, great folks. We were bummed out when Andy Changs and Lees Garden moved out of town. We’ve struggled to find decent food but loved this. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”

“Sweet Indulgence Bakery isn't just a place for delicious pastries; it's a community treasure to me. Not only do they serve the most melt-in-your-mouth European-style pastries,but they also have a heart of gold. The icing on their already perfect moist cakes isn't just amazing it's the kind of sweet that comes with a soul. As if it's truly being made with love. They hire trauma survivors, offering them a chance to rebuild and heal through the art of baking. That commitment to uplifting others adds something special to each bite. It's rare to find a bakery where every pastry feels like a little act of kindness.Sweet Indulgence truly embodies the spirit of generosity. Especially in their mission. 💜”

“I eat here weekly, I’ve tried many things on the menu. I have never been disappointed. A+”

“Great food! Val is hospitable and makes sure all of her employees are the same. Her menue is just the right size and everything is fresh and delicious! Good for the mind, body and soul. 🎶 why don’t you come on over (to) Val(arie)’s🎶”

“My mom and I tried them for the first time today and we are a sucker for real authentic Mexican, and they were amazing!! We ate 4 tacos in less than 10 minutes they were so good! The place is so cute, cozy and inviting. The two workers were extremely nice and helpful! If you haven’t tried them, I 10/10 recommend giving them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Kid-friendliness: The decorations and bright colors are totally appealing to kids. The whole place is so cute”

“Best lacaretta in the city.”

“Food was very good, beans are homemade and not canned. Truly authentic Mexican food. Rice and beans taste so fresh, not yuck like when sitting in steam table all day like other Mexican restaurants around here. Very reasonably priced compared to others as well! 5 stars!!”

“Delicious food and very friendly owners. “Indian Cold Coffee” is the best drink I’ve ever had!”

“HumanKind held their Gratitude Day celebration yesterday and all our desserts came from Chestnut Hill Bakery. We had cookies, doughnuts, brownies, dessert bars, and my favorite, cream puffs. All the treats were a huge hit with our employees. They made everything for us and had it ready to pick up Tuesday morning. One box was left out and they graciously delivered it to us. They were easy to work with and very professional and friendly.”

“We had the best experience in the Lynchburg, Va store. We had lunch on 1/26/2025. The restaurant was very busy but once we were seated we were blessed with a fine waiter named Bo. He took our order immediately and it was served shortly thereafter. This young man was attentive to all our dining needs I highly recommend him and this restaurant. Jane Whitehead”

“I have loved Hangry Joe’s Lynchburg from the first time I tried them when they first opened. I have been a regular customer since then, just love the mighty Sando. This past Thursday, 4/4/24, I gained a new level of respect and appreciation for this restaurant. On that day, I had a small issue with my order that I felt the manager should know about (substituted fries, instead of waffle fries I received crinkle fries). Not a big deal, but I felt he should know. So, I messaged him and to my surprise, he insisted that I receive a replacement meal on him!! That was greatly appreciated and totally unnecessary! He went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of!! I love supporting local businesses and this one is at the top of my list for chicken greatness❤️ My support and recommendation will continue ❤️ Thank you so much!!”
