Drinks were excellent and we thought the appetizers were delicious. We tried the new appetizers for the night and they were excellent. We have eaten here many times and always come away happy and fully satisfied. Because we ate so many different appetizers, we were unable to order a full meal but I am sure that an entree would be as good as the appetizers.”

Skyline
“There is power in the Skyline of Lynchburg's BEST all around restaurant and bar. Sitting on top of The Virginian and managed by the most customer concerned and personsl attentive manager Noel, the updated menu and drink list is terrific. Masters at martinis with a master chef, you will not be disappointed. Value is built in. From the best burgers to filets. Thank you Noel and your entire team for a great experience. We also are impressed with John who manages the valet, great, and professional.”
“Came for a quick date night and enjoyed the experience. The ambiance is beautiful and our server was super sweet. We ordered an appetizer and entrees and still had room for dessert. The dishes are simplistic, small portioned, and clean. The homemade focaccia was the highlight. Love the cocktail menu design.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“My visit was on Thanksgiving day.My main issue was the seating,The tables weren't normal dining tables. Instead, they seemed to be card tables.I was cursed by sitting with a large left-hand person on one side on me & a right-hand person on the other.It's like I had maneuver my eating skills.Just seemed like everyone was crammed in there.”
“We stopped at the dog friendly Three Roads Brewery to meet my daughter and her dog. The gentleman at the bar was very welcoming and even fed a treat to our dog. I ordered coffee and when I requested cream, there was none to be found. He really, really tried to find some. We enjoyed our visit at Three Roads - next time I’ll try something different. Thanks again for the outstanding customer service.”
“Lily was great and the atmosphere was too! Love the vibes at the glasshouse. So happy to have the glasshouse as part of our community ?Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are actually a part of the menu instead of an afterthought. Done perfectly”
Restaurants with Delivery
“My wife and I have been going to Isabella’s for years. We appreciate the quality of the food served, and in Lynchburg, it is by far our favorite atmosphere for dinner. The staff is always friendly and professional. It’s clear the owner takes great pride in every detail of the restaurant. Highly recommended.”
“Our first time here. The stuffed baked potato with brisket was so yummy! Their macaroni & cheese is THE BEST. The weather was perfect, so we ate outside.Kid-friendliness: Very casual place with lots of outdoor seating. (Limited indoor seating.) Right next to Tiny Town Mini Golf.”
“Aesthetics are nice however, this place is popular so their small space is packed. Food is why it is packed, very good!Parking: Free parking lot in a strip of stores that all use these spaces. Crowded and fills up fast. Saw people parking next door and walking over.”
“The samples were SO GOOD, I was so excited for my cake and cupcakes for my wedding, the cake itself was okay but the cupcakes almost tasted burnt and were definitely overcooked. The icing was great as always!”
“Cute lil shop next to an amazing Mexican restaurant we had walked from for desert. Would drive thru Lynchburg again for itDietary restrictions: They have vegan and gf ice cream”
“This place was great. The staff is all very friendly and helpful, the moon tea was delicious. I got the steak hibachi and it was really good. The only thing is I wish they could take out certain vegetables, but they can’t cause it’s a mix. Otherwise the place was great.Parking: They do have a parking lot but it is very small, probably better to park on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramps leading to the door.”
“The service is incredible and it is so homey! The bagels are delicious and the prices are the best around. You can not beat a place like this, best bagel shop in LYH!”
“Visited Val's for the first time today to grab a bite to eat before seeing a movie. Everyone there was SUPER friendly and welcoming. They were patient as we figured things out and my family enjoyed our meal! We had some fried chicken, mac and cheese, sweet potato pudding, and collard greens. All delicious. We will definitely visit Val's again!”

“What an incredible find tucked away and easy to overlook. The food and spices - and desert, coffee and tea - are amazing!!The only down side is the neighbor is a smoke shop and sometimes the odor can be noticeable. Go for the food, and the owner is super helpful and personable.”
“What a flavor filled treat. Love the many different combinations they have and everything we've tried taste amazing. The employees were very helpful on giving suggestions and very kind. This place makes you think of Jersey City or the beach.”

“Fantastic drinks made by an attentive, social bartender and a great choice of playlists ranging from 70's hits to jazz. The food is handcrafted, fresh and unique seeing as they have a rolling menu based on what is freshest. They are a great late night bar as well, offering engaging events like Mario Cart tournaments, DJ sets, themed parties and more. There are no stairs here to dine or go to the restroom, so it is a wheelchair accessible space. Loved our visits here and are thankful to have a local space that is so adaptable! It transitions seamlessly from a swanky dinner spot to a late night hang out.”

“I met the redhead boy some of y’all speak so poorly off but he was great to me and all the customers I was there with just not the one who was incredibly rude to ”
“We pretty much always enjoy the dishes we order here, but i must say that I was quite impressed with the service Destin provided. She hands down was the best waitress we've had at this establishment and others. Sometimes it feels as if waiters and waitresses can be disingenuous or pretentious. She was not at all. Just great service and attention to details. Interestingly, I've never reviewed this restaurant hitherto, despite enjoying the food. But the great service from this solid employee motivated me to write this review. I hope she is compensated in a commensurate manner with the level of value she's providing”
“We got the white flight and mixed flight. The wines were good but the star was the Brie. Served warm with fresh bread, honey, berries, and a delicious sweet and spicy chutney. Delicious! Will definitely come back.”
“As a self admitted Chinese food addict who lived in the Lynchburg area for 30 years, you will not find a better sesame chicken and lo mein anywhere in town. I’ve worked in the food industry, and I speak from experience when I say that the guy who runs this place is like a superhero. Answering the phone, cooking the food, ringing up orders, dealing with customers. Always patient, always friendly. If you’re unsure where to go for Chinese food, please consider King House even if it is a little out of the way.”
“Best steak I have eaten in Lynchburg.Now...can they repeat that well see as I absolutely plan to go back and try again. I got the NY strip. And it was cooked perfectly (med rare).Jevonti was a fantastic server, he did a great job!Thank you for letting me know that thetebis one steak house that can cook a great Steak!.A+And the dessert was so ridiculously big. And great tasting. Just a great evening with great food!”
“Seems mostly family run. They are very polite and pretty accurate on estimated time the last few visits I had. One of the best hibachi take-out dishes in the area. If you've had Japanese fast food, or the mall variant, you have a general idea of what to expect.Wheelchair accessibility: It is right next to the parking lot and not lifted or after any stairs. Tables are lower so someone could roll in and right up to a table. Paying counter is a bit high but I'm sure they'd step out to assist.”
“Great neighborhood establishment with awesome food, entertainment and friendly staff!Vegetarian options: Pastas, saladsParking: Easily accessibleWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible”
“Great food and atmosphere. We had Smash burgers which were very good with Sidewinder fries which was a unique twist on French fries and very very good. Limited but good selection of craft beers. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came by our table to check in which is always a nice touch. Plan to return and look forward to trying brunch in the future.”
“Went to eat with my MIL after running errands. Food looked fresh and has lots of choices. Pricing was good for the variety of food presented. Sushi was awesome.Kid-friendliness: Has pizza, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, french fries, chicken nuggets, and icecream. My kids always liked eating there.”
“A nice little homey restaurant. I had a calzone which was awesome!! Very friendly and attentive staff. This will definitely be my go to place whenever I crave a calzone!!”
“Went at a very busy time but got seated in the bar area fairly quickly. The server was good. The food was average and the place was extremely noisy. We would go out of our way to visit again.”

The Dahlia
“We sat in the basement bar area which was fine but steps going down there could be tricky to navigate for some. Food was good (crab cakes and chicken sandwich with homemade bread). Service was okay but only because one server was trying to handle too many tables until after we ordered then it got better (slow initially).Would recommend to others.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“We arrived to dine-in. But a large LU group of students crowded inside, &waiting to get their food ordered. The cook stated he'd cooked probably 85 or more hashbrowns faster than he had ever,just to get everyone served with Hot Food.”
“Food is great and ready in under 15 mins. However, you cannot call in your order. You must go there. There is a service charge for take out.Parking: Parking available in front and side of bldg.Wheelchair accessibility: Two nice areas for handicap parking.”
“This was our first visit and it didn’t disappoint! I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was on of the best I’ve had! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The menu is varied and the prices are between $11 an up.-There is parking nearby.-An elevator if needed-Near walking and river walk trails-In addition to the set menu they have specialsParking: Parking is paid during prime business hours and free parking outside of that. City parking lot.”
“Happy inspirational prayers blessings wishes, keep up the excellent work, keep up the excellent global blessings, and a fantastic New Year!!!!!!!!!!Kid-friendliness: Thank y'all for world blessings wishes”
“We got the white flight and mixed flight. The wines were good but the star was the Brie. Served warm with fresh bread, honey, berries, and a delicious sweet and spicy chutney. Delicious! Will definitely come back.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Just went tonight for the first time. I think,I have found my new favorite pizza place in Lynchburg.The kind of pizza that you don’t even want to leave the crust behind. Service was fast and friendly.”
“Solid casual dining option for sushi or basic Japanese hibachi and Chinese American food dishes. Staff are very nice and fast! Lots of sushi options but many are fried/tempura varieties, not as many fresh/light sushi options. If you like Americanized sushi choices though, they'll have you covered.”
“I have never personally been to this place in Virginia but I will tell you what this is what breakfast and what meals should look like and I can imagine the prices are very affordable too if I ever come to this area I would definitely love to come to this place it looks like home sweet home cooking to me! Makes me hungry just looking at the pictures! ???”
“This place isn't recommended several times to my son and I and it's report card season so we decided to go out for good grades. Rivermont Pizza did not disappoint. There was live music upstairs. The place above rivermont Pizza and the food was phenomenal. They had both traditional pizza options as well as really unique flavors. All in all this was a great experience!”
“Me and my mom live in downtown and we have been to this place many times, I thought it was finally time to write a review. The food is absolutely delicious. I have gotten almost every sandwich and all different types of drinks but the Free bird has to be the best. You have to get it with the pickles tho ?. I also got the saint Patrick’s day drink and that was sooooo delicious. The service is great they are all super friendly.Parking: They have a free parking lot but if it’s full just park on the street”
“Good coffee located right next to the awareness garden. It's really nice to sit in the garden with a cup of coffee after a ride or walk on the trail. They have several specialty lattes, so far I have tried two of them, and both were delicious.”
“Visiting Lynchburg for a wedding and needed to pick a dinner spot on reviews alone. This was a solid choice! Elizabeth was a friendly host and the food came out quickly. The barbecue pork ribeye was the highlight for me. Wish I had grabbed a photo!”
“Wonderful little spot for your mexican food fix! Although the place is not that big, it makes up for it in tasty food! The place was nice and clean. Service was good. It was seat yourself and grab your own drink out of the cooler. I liked that idea. The food was the definite star! To start, just the chips and salsa were some of the best I have had. The burrito I had, with beef tongue as the meat, was excellent. I wish it would have come with some side like refried beans or something, but it was still good. My culinary companions both thought their meals were excellent. So glad we stopped and will definitely be going back. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!”
“Consistently good service and delicious food. The fried bean chimichangas are my favorite. My family loves the La Caretta and the beans and rice. The menu offers options for everyone, including vegetarians. Our favorite restaurant to visit when in Lynchburg.”
“My girlfriend and I absolutely love this place. We have been coming here for 9 months and absolutely love it! The food and service is amazing! This is our favorite restaurant. I highly recommend! An absolute 10/10 experience!”
“Overall, it is a nice, quaint stop. I never knew there was this mini-mall like building in downtown. Georgia's is one of the shops on the ground floor. It is a neat little corner of town and it was still bustling for that sub shop. They had my order on time (Chicken Parm sub) and it was nice and hot. A little too much garlic in the sauce and the cheese was melted on the top (open side of sub) so, on hot marinara, it kind of slid off a bit when biting, but overall a solid sandwich. Prices are not bad and the people were friendly. I'd recommend it.Parking: If you don't mind walking a bit, there are garages and such, but if you are hoping to park within a block on the street, it'll be a gamble. There are many businesses in that cluster of buildings.”
“Whenever I visit family here, I always try different coffee spots. But after finding 5th Street Grind, I think I can stop looking for the best one. I not only appreciate the kindness of the owner but that he experiments with his specialty lattes and doesn't just do what everyone other coffee shop is doing. If you are visiting in the winter months, I highly recommend the Sicilian White Mocha, which has hints of orange! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.”
“Ive been a customer of joe beans since they opened. Its the best coffee around. Not a fan of starbucks because of the bitterness of burnt coffee...Joe Beans is always "A Warm Hug in a Mug".Vegetarian options: Vegan options offered.”
“Such a cute shop, nice 4th wave coffee shop in Rivermont! Never would’ve expected that to be there. The barista working was super nice and explained their menu. The shop itself has a nice theme with darker colors and lots of plants. Coffee itself was amazing. I got an iced eggnog cappuccino, which wasn’t too sweet and the espresso shot was paired nicely with it. My husband got their tonic holiday drink which he enjoyed. My brother enjoyed his drip coffee. Overall awesome experience!!”
“Amber the manger was great during our visit Sunday night. She was working very hard and was helping out the staff in every way possible. We had a long pizza wait time but she made up for it.”
“I travel a lot for my business. It has been a very long time since I've seen such an efficient and professional staff that works together for the ultimate experience of visiting your business in Lynchburg, Va.The staff of 2/23/2024 are top-notch hands down the best I've seen in many years .Again, it's a superb job . I never do revues on places like this, but I was compelled to share this experience with you.Kudos,Sincerely appreciate your efforts!!!!!!Rodney Taylor”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Biscuitville is my go to for quick breakfast. I can't get enough of it. My favorite is the sausage egg biscuit with no cheese. I have also recently discovered a newer offering of the ultimate country ham biscuit and I add lettuce and tomato. You also cannot forget the wedge fries and sweet tea. Add some jelly to the sausage and egg biscuit and you have a winner!I prefer the location in Madison Heights as their food seems to be more consistent. The location on Old Forest road has been there but they just rebuilt the building. Initially the service and food was not very good but that has now been corrected. The staff is friendly and offers great service. Every now and then they do overcook the fries. If you bring it to their attention they will correct but since I have been going there forever I usually just keep it moving. Definitely recommend biscuitville as it is a Southern treat!Vegetarian options are limited. I would love to see a good non meat option added to the menu.”
“Pleasant breakfast place, this is easily the best fast breakfast chain there is. Their biscuits are made fresh everyday and their ingredients are sourced locally, a lot of great options too like pancakes, chicken and waffles etc. I hope they continue to expand to other states.”
“The perfect place for breakfast and lunch!Personally the French Toast bagel changed my world of bagels and the Thomas Jefferson warm lunch sandwich was without a doubt worth every penny!”
“The Cobb Salad is one of our favorites. We drive-thru for our order. Our salad is always fresh and delicious-EVERY single time. We occasionally get a milk shake and they are also delicious and never taste artificial! Strawberry is my favorite but they were out tonight, so I tried chocolate- also delicious!”
“One of the best Chick-fil-A 's I have ever tried. So good and they work fast. Chicken is amazing and fries are even better! The workers are so sweet and I would go again (like right now). You have to try it!!!!”
“They have everything it seems like. I went mainly for the shrimp. Very good everything was fresh. Waitress was great. They have military discount. I always go during the week less crowded”
“Excellent place! Even though the line was long, the top tier Chick-fil-A service was able to get everyone through in less than 5 minutes. The food was fresh and the fries were crispy.”
“My wife’s biscuits and gravy were awesome. The sweet potato pancakes were the best I’ve ever had. I usually smother my pancakes in syrup, I didn’t use one drop. They were so moist and delicious it would have been criminal to change the flavor at all. And our server was very efficient and friendly. This is about 2 hours away from where we live but we’ve already decided it is worth the drive.”
“Cook Out is amazing!! It’s Lynchburg that needs to catch up! You can go during the day and get in and out, but at night it is a nightmare to get in and out. I wasn’t going to give less stars for that reason but the night time parking lot is mess.”
“Such a busy Chick-fil-A with a drive through that is always packed. They put to make a bigger dining room area and a better parking lot. The food is great though.”
“All in all, it was a pretty good meal. Everyone seemed to be working hard and getting food put together. I only gave the food a 3 because the chicken was a little greasy and a bit bland for me ”
“I joined the Taco Bell awards online app. Was so excited to get a Big box, plus a drink for just 1.00 with joining. Food was ready when I got there and it was an awesome value even had I paid the full 5.99. kudos to employees here for always being spot on and with a smile. I love me sum Tacos!”
“THIS BURGER KING ? IS AWESOME AND GOOD PLACE TO BRING CHILDREN TO EAT AND PLAY. THE WORKERS ARE KOOL . THE OTHER BURGER KING ON MEMORIAL CAN LEARN FROM THIS PLACE AND WORKERS.”
“Always top notch.. Manager is a bit quirky, and needs to be moved on to a different location, but rest of staff and food is excellent. She was polite to me, and got me my order, but was like ordering from an AI or a Robot... no emotion at all, no recommendations, and coupons did not work as they were supposed to....”
“I just went through the drive thru, but I know they have remodeled inside and out.Dietary restrictions: There are signs referring to fish and shellfish allergies.Parking: Limited, but adequate.”
“The washroom of this establishment was exquisitely immaculate. I would rate it 6/5 stars if I was able. I walked in to the bathroom as a man and I left as a changed man. I would relate the feeling to being embraced from a woman after a long days work. From the granite floors to the spotless toilet. As much storage as the heart desires. It smelled like a meadow full of beautifully smelling flowers. This bathroom is so clean I would eat the pizza off of the floor if it were not socially unacceptable. I will be bringing my service back to this establishment again very very soon.”
“My Order Taker Today was "Ally"....She was Absolutely Fantastic.I had a large order to place. She was pleasant, and very patient, and helpful to me.She labeled everything for me individually, and had such a Positive and Uplifting Attitude, not just to me, but everyone in line. She was smiling alot, and seemed to enjoy her job.She even Carried My Food out to my car for me because I had my hands full, and wouldn't have to make multiple trips out in the rain....Ally: My Sincerest Thank You for going "The Extra Mile"....Keep up the great work ..Jersey Mike's: Our Food was Delicious, and it was 100% Correct... Good Job!Thank You!”
“Perfect environment for a birthday party. Definitely bring kids because their expressions make it so much fun! Also prepare for GIANT servings of food. My teenage son and I split the steak & chicken hibachi and took home TONS of leftovers. Service was great. So entertaining!”

“The chef here at Chelsity’s was the Head Chef at Morton’s Steakhouse in San Diego!!Super friendly people, wonderful food, great prices, and the only place to get Filipino food in this city I believe. #”
“Tried Mission BBQ for the first time today and Lord willing it won't be my last! I got the Turkey Sandwich with Fries and let me tell you it was the best Turkey Sandwich I've ever had, the turkey was as they advertised "dang good" and the way it was fixed looked just the way it's advertised in the photos online. And also the fries were fresh, hot and of great quality! The fact that they offer the best of the best food as well as strongly supporting our veterans is a win/win as it is a restuarant worth supporting this noble cause! The only regret I have was not trying this tasty establishment sooner!”
“The food here is fantastic, they give you so much food for the price and it’s all tasty. I have yet to be dissatisfied with anything they have given. Honestly they have the best Arepas I have ever had.”
“Definitely a hang out for closeted poly and bi people from Liberty.Name is misleading. Not much of a market.Wife loves the hot chocolateVegetarian options: Coffee”
“The Gochujang, Korean chicken with cabbage, is my favorite entree. It’s savory, mild/moderately spicy and delicious every time! I suggest it for a tasty, satisfying lunch or dinner any day of the week! The Mein Bowl staff are always friendly too!”
“My boss orders from here pretty often and one of the owners stops by. He is a nice guy and the subs are good. I haven't tried anything but the philly and it is one of my two favorite phillys in this area. The other option isn't open for lunch, so that makes this sandwich number one at noon. One of these days I might try other menu items, but for now I'm happy ordering the same thing. If you're craving a cheese steak, skip the chains like Mike's and head down here instead.”
“This is the best taco truck on the planet. I always get two carnitas tacos with the queso and they give us free chips each time. So. Fire. Just all around amazing and the guy who owns this truck is a literal sweetheart. Support your local food vendors !!!!!”
“Loved this place! The fish dinner I ordered was delicious! Freshly fried fish, yams, and greens all perfectly seasoned. The staff was cordial. Everything was fairly priced. The atmosphere could be improved upon. Building needs updating and the manager working when I was there could improve listening skills a bit. I repeated my order 3 times across the counter before it was correct. There also seemed to be general tension between staff and manager while I was there. But the food was good enough for me to return and order more carry out!!!”
“We placed a bulk order on a Sunday. We mistakenly made the order for Tuesday. The team at Blue Ridge BBQ was QUICK to help us out. They fulfilled the order even though we made a mistake. Excellent customer service and excellent food. I can’t speak highly enough of how professional and customer oriented this team of folks are.”
“Highly recommend the Taro milk tea and chicken ramen! Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. 12/10Dietary restrictions: The milk tea can be made dairy free for anyone with a dairy allergy”
“I like this Cornerstone Mission House. The mall location is nice but is the mall. The DT location I do not care for as it is just an odd location and not a coffee feel room. Thus this location is my favorite and a place I enjoy visiting.Well priced, nice staff. Often crowded during the school year.Cheese sandwiches are great, breakfast is average. Coffee is good, not gourmet/highend coffee but good.”
“this is probably the only reason ever needed to come to lynchburg, va. but yeah it was worth it because these cookies were GOOD. my friends and i drove an hour for these because we were bored and it did not disappoint!”
“Passing thru and not many were in. Had high reviews so I went in and got the fajita burrito and shrimp tacos. Both were amazing! So fresh and light, make this a stop in Lynchburg!”
“Food was a 10/10 , not only was the food amazing but the customer service was phenomenal! My car was having issues, the Owner came out , grabbed his buddies from inside and even had the mechanic across the street come take a look. Before we knew it the owner had took us to Autozone to check the battery. A wonderful establishment with a beautiful soul operating it.”
“We have been long standing customers of Joe beans but our experience today made it so I had to leave a review. Our daughter accidentally spilled the extra large latte we had gotten for mom. After we got it all cleaned up we came back through and shared what happened with our barista and she did not even hesitate to replace our drink and was so apologetic. Great job on training your team well!”
“We were so excited to see there's Hawaiian food in Lynchburg. We got the kole kole beef and the bento plate and it was delicious! Really authentic flavors, great portions, and Julie was so kind! She took the time to bring the food out and chat. Love the experience would definitely eat here again.”
“Doc's Diner is gone, replaced with a Slim Chickens franchise. Parking is restricted to LU permit-holders during the school day, but the public can park there after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends as a means of attracting non-student restaurant patrons (CFAW permits will also work).”
“Love this place! Best Thai food I’ve had and my favorite restaurant. I miss the dine in so much!! But the food is so good that I don’t mind getting it to go. Definitely get the egg rolls”
“Good food. Not the best Mediterranean, but for sure better than the expectation of in-campus dining food. Good portion, good taste, good value.Service is good too. You would tell them what you want right in front of you and they serve it right then and there.They open for such a short period of time that it was hard to take some time to come here for lunch, but I think it was worth the experience. I will come back here if time allows.Flames cash dining discount is definitely bonus.”

“My family and I are no stranger to this place. Tonight we came celebrating my cousins birthday (along with some others behind us) It was about 9-12 of us so of course we ordered a lot of food. We had a lot of issues with different orders but thank God for the manager Zandra tonight! She literally made everyone alright in no time! She didn’t hesitate to fix any of the issues we had. No one fussed at her we literally just told her what was wrong with the orders, she took them back (several times) and then just bought them back out! We even gave her a piece of birthday cake because she was so nice!! I’ve been in management for 18+ years and I love the way she handled things tonight! Zandra thank you so much for how you took care of my family and I tonight!! Don’t forget I live across the street and will be back!!!”

Latest Reviews
“We pretty much always enjoy the dishes we order here, but i must say that I was quite impressed with the service Destin provided. She hands down was the best waitress we've had at this establishment and others. Sometimes it feels as if waiters and waitresses can be disingenuous or pretentious. She was not at all. Just great service and attention to details. Interestingly, I've never reviewed this restaurant hitherto, despite enjoying the food. But the great service from this solid employee motivated me to write this review. I hope she is compensated in a commensurate manner with the level of value she's providing”
“Good food and service was ok. Very busy so there was a little bit of a wait but they are the only little ceasars left around the area. Good prices as usual and everything was fully cooked, even the deep dish which usually is undercooked at other little ceasars I've been to. Highly recommend.”
“This place is so so good. The service was great and the brisket plate was so filling. Also the fried oreos are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Best fried oreos I've had in my life. If I lived in Lynchburg I'd eat here everyday.”

“One of my "best chicken" spots! We went through the drive through and the cashier was so nice. She waited while we decided and helped with questions patiently. The chicken is always excellent!!!”
“Food was delicious, but the prices were higher than expected for a sandwich, mini quiche and drinks.Plenty of seating and not crowded or busy considering it was lunch time. Great bakery items. Everything was very tasty.Vegetarian options: The mini quiche was tomato basil with cheese, so not strictly vegan because of cheese and eggs. It was delicious.They offer a variety of salads.Dietary restrictions: Good selection based on particular dietary restrictions. Gluten free items as well.Parking: Right in front of the shop.”
“I ordered a personal German chocolate cake this week for Saturday. I just finished a slice. I must say it was moist, delicious, 3 layers, lots of coconut in the icing, and hit the spot. if you are looking for a cake then Sweet 1603, LLC is just the place to be.”
“Great neighborhood establishment with awesome food, entertainment and friendly staff!Vegetarian options: Pastas, saladsParking: Easily accessibleWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible”
“Food selection is spot on. Food was delicious! Service was great. Price matched the quality of food and service. Grey's food is a 5 star!However, the justified $100+ for 2 didn't quite match the aesthetic.”
“My first time trying Wing Stop and it was AMAZING. The only things I didn't like is that the restaurant was completely empty on a late afternoon and there were only two works. One in kitchen and one at front of house. Either way, I did LOVE me food and the 2 workers were very polite.”
“Ayyyyye..... This here is the best place for chicken in Lynchburg, period .. Let alone the surrounding counties and or areas ... Hands down. I have ordered twice since my first visit. That's within three weeks. Food is way above board, and cleanliness is NOT an issue here!”
“The Gochujang, Korean chicken with cabbage, is my favorite entree. It’s savory, mild/moderately spicy and delicious every time! I suggest it for a tasty, satisfying lunch or dinner any day of the week! The Mein Bowl staff are always friendly too!”
“Our reservation was at 5:00 and when we arrived, our table was waiting for us. We were greeted by the friendly hostess and Michelle was our server. Drinks were excellent and we thought the appetizers were delicious. We tried the new appetizers for the night and they were excellent. We have eaten here many times and always come away happy and fully satisfied. Because we ate so many different appetizers, we were unable to order a full meal but I am sure that an entree would be as good as the appetizers.”

“This was one of the better Cracker Barrel Restaurants I have ever been to. The waitresses we interacted with were super friendly and quick to get anything we needed. The wait for a table was very short and the wait for our food was very reasonable. All of our food was delicious! I have had better Cracker Barrel biscuits but these were still enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant!”
“This place was great. The staff is all very friendly and helpful, the moon tea was delicious. I got the steak hibachi and it was really good. The only thing is I wish they could take out certain vegetables, but they can’t cause it’s a mix. Otherwise the place was great.Parking: They do have a parking lot but it is very small, probably better to park on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramps leading to the door.”
“Best steak I have eaten in Lynchburg.Now...can they repeat that well see as I absolutely plan to go back and try again. I got the NY strip. And it was cooked perfectly (med rare).Jevonti was a fantastic server, he did a great job!Thank you for letting me know that thetebis one steak house that can cook a great Steak!.A+And the dessert was so ridiculously big. And great tasting. Just a great evening with great food!”
“Last night, my family and I were celebrating my husband’s promotion and he chose to eat at TR. We arrived to a packed house! Our wait was not long at all and once seated, we met Steven, our server. The rest of the night was 10 stars out of 5! The service, the food, the laughs, the fun… Steven is a gem. We’re used to servers who don’t speak unless spoken to and often can’t be found if something is needed. Steven checked on us often, carried on conversation with us, made us laugh, replenished drinks and bread quickly and often…he was a rockstar! I hope he gets a bonus or recognition of some type for this review because it is well-deserved. I will go back to TR just to have Steven as my server. I’m thankful Steven took care of us on my husband’s special night. He was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.”

“Enjoyed breakfast at First Watch this morning with my husband. The food was outstanding! The omelette was unique and was served hot, and the French toast was just aa amazing served with warm syrup. The service was spot on. We Really could not have asked for a better breakfast. If you haven’t tried First Watch, I recommend you do! It’s one of the best breakfast restaurants in Lynchburg.”
“Our first time here. The stuffed baked potato with brisket was so yummy! Their macaroni & cheese is THE BEST. The weather was perfect, so we ate outside.Kid-friendliness: Very casual place with lots of outdoor seating. (Limited indoor seating.) Right next to Tiny Town Mini Golf.”

“The food and the ambiance were both amazing. Great portion size for the price.Parking: Parking is a challenge and there are times posted that it is paid parking. Very small parking area for the amount of businesses using the lot.”
“Me and my mom live in downtown and we have been to this place many times, I thought it was finally time to write a review. The food is absolutely delicious. I have gotten almost every sandwich and all different types of drinks but the Free bird has to be the best. You have to get it with the pickles tho ?. I also got the saint Patrick’s day drink and that was sooooo delicious. The service is great they are all super friendly.Parking: They have a free parking lot but if it’s full just park on the street”
“I'm on a restricted diet, and despite the fact that I had to order my 8oz sirloin with steamed broccoli and a sweet potato all completely plain (I used the table salt and pepper for the steak) it was delicious! You know they use quality products when they taste good with little or no seasoning. I miss having my food doused in butter, garlic, and the like, but the cook on Friday night did an amazing job with my restrictions. Will definitely come back at some point.”
“First time there lived it great customer service even though I was crying from fall it at a track meet and doing bad made my day so muchParking: A little small but I can work withKid-friendliness: Very nice and love the friendliness”
“Love the environment with its modern order system and amazing murals inside. Big garage door can be opened on a hot day for a breeze. Beware the spice level on the chicken sandwich. Seriously, I love spicy food and it's really hard to get me to back down from a spice challenge. The flavor was great but on the Hot it's truly too hot and there's another level up from that. I was sweating the whole time and it was even worse coming out of the other end later. If you like really hot stuff I recommend the medium. If you don't usually eat spicy food don't even get the medium go down a spice level. Really great taste tho. The waffle fries were good but the fried okra were under done.”

“A group of friends and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night recently and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Super kind employees, and the service was fast even with our large group. I ordered tacos al pastor and would recommend!”
“By far the best tasting Moon Tea location. I love that they have substitutes for dairy too. Not sure if other ones do it too, I know the one downtown doesn't have the option. It kind of feels like the staff rely on you to use the self-service kiosks to order. Went in once to try ordering a new menu item that wasn't on the kiosks yet and awkwardly waited for like 5 minutes staring at the staff waiting for them to stop talking about non-work related things. Still my top pick if I want moon tea's boba though (I favor sawa's boba). The mochi donuts are great and this is definitely the location to buy them.Dietary restrictions: Almond milk instead of cow!”
“If you haven’t been here, you are missing out of some of the best tacos ever! Specially if their Handmade fresh tortillas, the Diabla salsa is the best…. GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU CAN!”
“Wonderfully delicious pizza, friendly atmosphere, Very reasonable price!!!Kid-friendliness: Nice atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Area is flat, 4 hc parking places”
“My wife and I have been going to Isabella’s for years. We appreciate the quality of the food served, and in Lynchburg, it is by far our favorite atmosphere for dinner. The staff is always friendly and professional. It’s clear the owner takes great pride in every detail of the restaurant. Highly recommended.”
