“I went here for hot fresh cookies for my brothers birthday. He has Alfigal and for 3yrs cant eat any meats from hoover animals, nor anything of dairy. If you look is almost everything. This was the best place. Workers are so nice. Helped me choose what he could have. He was so pleased and said the cookies were great. Id recommend anyone trying these. They are regular Homemade cookies the store name is based from it being open.almost allnight. Thanks Insomnia cookies.”

“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.”

My favorite out of everything was the mango milk tea drink it was AMAZING. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food and decently priced”
“We had breakfast there on our anniversary weekend, and it was the best restaurant breakfast I've ever had! The omelette, home fried potatoes, and mocha latte were all made to perfection. Delicious! We are looking forward to going back with our kids...and our dog, of course!”
“I love that they have gluten free cinnamon rolls!! They also have a dairy free frosting option, which is great for those of us with dietary restrictions. If you’re traveling anywhere near Lynchburg, you need to check this place out!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Arguably the very best steak I have ever eaten. The food, the service, the ambiance and the feeling that you are being served a meal by people who really, truly care about your experience...all adds up to 10+ stars. There is no better place to dine in Lynchburg or the surrounding areas.”

“My family of 10 dined here tonight for my birthday celebration study 4 pm 🎂 🎈 and we were fortunate to have Sean as our server. He was the best server...so patient, kind and so attentive to details. Iwe will be sure to ask for him next visit. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The pecan crusted salmon and fish snd chips meals were especially good! The dining atmosphere as well as the outdoor views of the downtown area were lovely at night. We are looking forward to returning again soon!”
“This place…! WOW….!!! The Neighbors Place restaurant served us perhaps the best steak dinner ever. The price was more than fair,…. The service was spot on,…. The facility was attractive & clean. A huge shout-out to everyone that works to make this place happen. If we ever get back to this town we will make a beeline to eat & drink here. Oh… did I say the beer was cold.!!!!”
“co-owner/staff went above and beyond for my family! Will recommend to anyone i know visiting the area. Great local food!”

“This is a newer concept Wawa new build. Beautiful store inside and outside! Even restrooms were spotless! Very surprised! Good job Lynchburg, VA! Can't say that about Tallahassee! Nightmare restrooms and store was a mess. Sadly because of the pride we know Wawa carries about their stores! But Lynchburg was so clean and the new store had such class and modern style and where as the others around the US east coast side are traditional. Unfortunately we had to drive from Roanoke to Lynchburg to actually go to one! Totally worth it! Would we do it again probably what's a couple of hours on the road for coffees and Wawa hoagies and pretzels! Plus the scenery is a bonus!”
“Amazing experience at this McDonalds! The manager here, Clayton, gave us 25 free breakfast sandwiches for us to serve to a local police department to show them appreciation, and then he threw in a bunch of free apple pies on top of the sandwiches we asked for! He made the process of coordinating the order seamless. He was very generous and they had the food ready at 6:30 AM right on time for us. Thank you to the manager Clayton! I highly recommend giving your business to this McDonalds!”

“We stopped at Rincón Venezolano while traveling through Lynchburg, and it was genuinely one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. We’re a family that cooks nearly everything from scratch - we’re all gluten-free - and we’re particular about food, so that’s not something we say lightly.
There were four of us — two adults and two young girls — and we don’t eat large portions, so one order of arepas with chicken and cheese plus one platter (beans, rice, plantains, shredded beef, avocado, and a cilantro cream sauce on the side) was plenty for all of us, (supplemented with an avocado we happened to be traveling with.)
Every bite was delicious, clearly made with care. It was comforting to know that the food we ate did not conflict with our dietary requirements. My little one, who has a hard time eating when we’re traveling, polished off her plate entirely.
The one thing we wish we had more of is vegetables on the plate — we’re big vegetable eaters at home, so the small side of lettuce and tomato was a bit different from what we’re used to. That’s a small note next to how good everything else was.
We didn’t get pictures because we were too busy eating, which says it all.
Highly recommend if you’re in the Lynchburg area — this food truck is wonderful.
Thank you for making a birthday meal memorable!”
“I recently ate at Millie's Living Cafe for the first time and it was phenomenal!! I got one of the rice bowls and a gluten-free chocolate chip muffin, both were not only extremely delicious but extremely healthy! It is difficult to find food on the go that has wholesome ingredients and that also caters to common food sensitivities and allergies. I will definitely be back, thank you for your outstanding service to this community!!”
“3 dinners so far, and 3 times I was super satisfied!
I've tried many options from the menu over the few times I've been here and they never disappoint. All the dishes are really fresh, I highly recommend trying their sizzling steaks (careful - plates are super hot!) and fajitas. The dish selection is large enough to make sure you'll not get bored, but not artificially inflated by offering 20 different burritos, as some other places do.
The place is cozy with a chill vibe. The staff is very friendly and responsive, I've never waited more than a minute for someone to approach. If any dish is unavailable, they offer some amazing recommendations for substitutes.
I've even came here with my French friend and it was the first time he didn't say that France does it better, which basically is an equivalent of a Michelin star.
My go to Mexican place in Lynchburg, especially for dining-in. Highly recommended.”
“I work right across the street at Express, so I’ve basically made it my life mission to “quality check” their food (you’re welcome 😌). And let me tell you… ✅ Always on point with my lunch ✅ Always friendly — like “hey bestie, here’s your food!” energy ✅ AND… most importantly… 🥤 They already know to have my Pepsi ICE COLD and ready like it’s part of a VIP package. I don’t even gotta ask anymore — that’s next-level service right there. At this point, I’m not a customer… I’m practically family 😂 ⭐ 10/10, would cross the street again ⭐”

“Excellent! This is the first place that I have gotten a true New York Style Bagel. It made me smile when they told me the only difference was the water. It's a New York thing! Thank you for the chat and the delicious sandwiches. My husband and I truly enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food.”
“So very delicious authentic Latin food. The prices are so reasonable.”
“Kendrick helped us with a family luncheon after my father's funeral service. He was great to work with and the food was amazing. Especially the fried chicken and the cheesecake.”
“While visiting Lynchburg for the weekend, my dog and I stopped in for dinner. We were very happy with the friendly service and the great food we received. I would highly recommend and we will be back next time we’re around town.”

“Very great cake! I forgot all about ordering a cake for my daughter's birthday party (had everything else figured out) and they were able to make her the PERFECT cake with only a week's notice. I was a bit worried because when I got an email back it wasn't exactly confirmed so I had to email and make sure it was able to be made. But fast responses and quality work. The bakery smells amazing when I went in to pick up her cake and the cashier was so sweet!”
“I always ask for sugar-free and oat milk because sugar makes me sick, and regular milk has a lot of natural sugar. I usually double check that everything is sugar-free but sometimes something slips through and I don't realize it before I've had half of my drink. Today was ones of those days. Now I'm paying for it. Not really their fault. Mine can be a complicated order and I may not have made it clear.
All that aside, Joe Beans is my favorite place. They have a good assortment of sugar-free flavors and the employees are so nice! If you've never been, go. They're everywhere - except Amherst County. (Please come here! )”
“I would highly recommend Rolled or Bowled. The Hibachi food was hot, fresh ingredients, great presentation and amazing staff that treated patrons like family. 😀”
“This place changed my life. Before coming to America my family only could afford one water a day. But when I found out the coffee at Starbucks was so cheap and luxuriously yummy, I realized I could be happy forever. I’ve never been to a better coffe shop. No other coffee can compare when it comes to customer service. My friend needed a job and the cashier literally got him one there. I will forever be grateful for the time they saved my drink from death by floor by diving to save it from destruction. But alas, I have moved on to another coffee shop because I had to move. But I will always remember this specific Starbucks as a staple of excellence and joy in my life. it was so well kept I felt like I could just take off my shoes and lie down in the glimmer. Thank you Starbucks,for all you’ve done for me in this life and the next!!!!!! Absolutely amazing service and great coffee, comparable to none other in taste and quality.❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️”
“Their fresh mint matcha is amazing. The store has a great energy and is perfect to just sit and enjoy whatever yummy treat you choose.”
“Food was amazing, the noodles and sauce with steak! Just yum. Service was the best and refunded a order that we didn't like (not their fault). The Lynchburg lemonade was delicious and the booth was comfortable. All around best restaurant we've tried in Lynchburg so far!!!!”

“BEST MEXICAN IN LYNCHBURG!!!
This area has a lot of Mexican food, and I’ve loved trying them all. After countless visits to Uno Mas, I can confidently say this is the best all around mexican food/drink/atmosphere in Lynchburg.
You will NOT find a fresher tasting margarita or cocktail anywhere else. Their seasonal cocktails are to die for (the watermelon margarita is hands down the best drink I’ve had in Lynchburg). Everything just tastes SO fresh, you can tell they really care about the ingredients.
Same goes for the food, you must try their street corn, it’s to die for!!! The owner and servers are so friendly and accommodating. If you’re looking for Mexican, look no further. Uno Mas is truly THE BEST 🫶”
“I am new to Lynchburg and did not know this was here. I have passed the building which looks sort of like a circus tent, but while searching breakfast location near me, (after the normal breakfast time), this cafe showed up.
I was surprised to see that the cafe was inside this unusual building.
Big toy and book store that I would like to wander through when I have some time, and to the back is this little seating area, blocked off and a counter with coffee and tea. The menu was not typical breakfast but our sandwich selections were outstanding. The flavor combination of the Turkey, cheese, sprouts, apple, avocado plus natural mustard with the seeds, (could be missing something) such a great sandwich. Good coffee and fruit with a giant oatmeal cookie to go.
I recommend and will come again.”
“I took my daughter for the first time on the way home from school yesterday afternoon. My daughter got the pink mermaid fizz and I got a hot sweet and salty. My daughter loved hers and mine was also good. I would mention that the drinks are very sweet so if you like more of a coffee taste then you may want to get less sweetener in it. Service was also great and fast. Laura helped me with my order and Becka talked to me at the register. Both very kind and helpful young ladies. The girls inside seemed to be having a great time at work which is always nice to see as well. Would come here again.”
