“We went to the Crown Embers for our 37th anniversary. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, wonderful salad bar and the food was cooked to perfection. Pricilla was our waitress and she was wonderful. We will definitely go back.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. We got the ribeye with two sides each. The steak was cooked to perfection and was very tender. The loaded mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese were awesome.”
“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.”

“Stopped by Crumbl during a trip to Lynchburg this afternoon. It was my first time, and it exceeded my expectations! The ordering process was super easy, and the amount of options available was decent. The customer service was great, very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back the next time I find myself in Lynchburg!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Love coming out and supporting local businesses, this establishments food is always delicious & never disappoints! 🖤”
“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!!!”
“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 daughter and I had our first experience there this evening. The food was amazing. We both ordered the fried oysters, which we learned are freshly shucked there. Undoubtedly the best tasting oysters I can remember eating anywhere. And their Cole Slaw and sauce are so good too! Got the crabby potatoes, which were red potatoes cooked to perfection and I got mine topped with their crab dip which was also so delicious. Small environment. Excellent food. Good people!! Extremely reasonably priced. Highly recommend them!”
“Truss is some of my favorite spots in Lynchburg. We’re regulars. Last night I had their scallop special and beet salad, it was perfection! Also their warm focaccia and salty butter was a real treat. We also love going for lunch and brunch. It’s a popular spot so it’s always smart to make a reservation, otherwise you might have a little wait but it’s worth it. My hubby’s gluten-free and they alway have great options.”

“The White Hart was my first stop in Lynchburg after arriving from the airport. I was greeted with friendly welcomes and a curated list of delicious seasonal options. When I let the barista know it was my first time visiting, she took time to walk me through the menu to land on the right drink choice. I thoroughly enjoyed the Bonfire. It was the perfect blend of espresso flavor with subtle earthy mocha and buttery pumpkin. I also had the spicy chicken sandwich and paired it with the hot honey (per the chef’s recc) - delish! The vibes are cozy and the space offers the perfect spot to study. I’ll be back!”
“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.”
“I want to say, there was a small mix up with our reservation and the manager quickly assisted us without argument. (Ms. Linsey) She was extremely professional and we were able to be seated almost immediately. Service was great, the food came in a timely manner, and my mother really enjoyed her Mother's Day meal. Thank you guys again.”

“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.”

“There is no way I can brag enough about this place!! Absolutely 5 stars across the board. Read my other reviews to know I'm up front and honest. This staff is beyond amazing. I fell in love with them. The food stands alone! The food was so good, I couldn't even eat civilized. Say hi to my new friends when you come in. Tell them I sent you!”

“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. 💜”
“My favorite place…. Bootleggers never disappoints!! The Smoked Pimento and Bacon Grilled Cheese is my absolute favorite! The atmosphere is amazing and the service is always excellent! My boyfriend, my daughter and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and we were all very happy with our appetizers and entrees, as always!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“The service was seamless, and the price was impressively affordable for the generous portion I received. For just $10, I got a hearty serving of sesame chicken that was piping hot and delicious. The dining area was slightly warm, but overall, it’s a great spot. I’d definitely return!”

“My husband and I LOVE Blue Ridge BBQ. So much so we used it for our wedding. Not only was the service incredible, but they arrived well before the ceremony to begin making the food on site. Everyone raved about the meal and enjoyed the variety they offered. We will happily enjoy many more memories made at and with Blue Ridge BBQ.”
“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!!”
“My wife and I drive an hour to get these delicious wings! The atmosphere is perfect for chilling and watching a game with PLENTY of great beer choices. if you're lucky enough to sit at the bar with Tabitha, you'll be spoiled! We love this place and have only been twice but it'll be a regular weekend getaway for these wings! I hear their burgers are good too but I'm so addicted to the wings I found it hard to venture out. Oh! Even the side salads are the freshest around for a restaurant like this. TOP NOTCH from front to back with service to match! Already looking at the calendar for our next visit.... SEE Y'ALL SOON!”
“My experience at Shoemakers was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I knew that I was in for a treat. From the charming ambiance to the attentive service to the most amazing culinary experience. The duck confit was delicious! Every bite was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. It was the best that I've ever had, And the Belgium chocolate mousse was incredible, rich and creamy, yet light and delicious. Shoemakers exceeded all my expectations, it's not often that you find a place where every element comes together so perfectly. I'll be recommending it to all my friends and family.”
“Just fantastic! You’ll always have a great time and excellent food and service.”
“As usual, this Red Lobster at Lynchburg is one of the best run and efficient of any we frequent. Service and quality of food is superb. The restaurant is clean and well kept.
Our attendant, Starla was great. Friendly and took good care of us.”
“I went to Outback for the first time in about a year, and I was very impressed. My steak was cooked perfectly, the kitchen was efficient, and service was top-notch. Carson was a super friendly and helpful server, and she was able to answer our questions, make recommendations, and keep our beverages full. Highly recommend!”

“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!!”
“IT IS FREEZING IN HERE TODAY!! It’s ridiculous that we had to get our coats on to eat. Could you consider the comfort of your customers before you consider the comfort of the cooks? Just asking. Staff are wearing long sleeves and agreeing that it’s cold and admits to “standing near the heat lamps” to stay warm. ”
“So good♡ I love their kimchi too it is a little sweet I'm not 100% sure what is in it but it is so good! I have ordered Kimbap a couple of times and it is always so beautiful.”
