Restaurants in Lynchburg

“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!”

“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.”

“My husband and I came here for the first time for a quick date night and we weren’t disappointed AT ALL! Food was great but the environment was 🤌🏽 We sang SZA the entire time. I can’t wait to go back. 😄 10/10 5-🌟”

“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!”

Al is a wonderful guy and deserves your business.”

“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.”

“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.

They were easy to work with and very professional and friendly.”

It was the best that I've ever had, And the Belgium chocolate mousse was incredible, rich and creamy, yet light and delicious.

“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. ”

“We have eaten at Olive Garden for years but our last experience was not good.

Can’t wait to see you again! 🙌”

“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!”

“I visited Bruster's of Lynchburg for the first time on Friday 5/23/2025. The coffee oreo was the best ice cream I've had in my entire life. My daughter had the birthday cake and she also said it was the best she's ever had.”

“This place is very unique! I love that there are so many choices. Homemade Popsicles filled with fresh fruit and all kinds of fun stuff. Scooped ice cream and cones and check out their website menu because there are funnel cakes and churros covered with a variety of toppings. The snacks are incredibly different. There was ramen noodles stuffed, and walking tacos. Fruit cups with tajin and a bunch a adventure. Check it out. Prices were pretty on point with other ice cream shops but a lot more to choose from. I had a Homemade fresh popsicle that was filled with beautiful strawberries. My son had the chamoy mango popsicle and my husband had the keylime ice cream. All delicious.”

“My friend, Debbie and I had the Victorian tea this afternoon. Our waitress was lovely and the tea, sandwiches, scones and sweet treats were delicious. Highly recommend!”

“This is our family’s favourite spot! We found it and keep finding our way back. I didn’t even take a pic of my food before it disappeared. I love these folks. They sure do make a body feel good and I can’t even with the food. I kept saying this is so good to my husband. I was like no, it’s really really good. It’s dang good. Check it out for yourself! Thanks”

“Butter believe it, this place won me over. I was skeptical at first, but the coffee was way better than anything else around, the latte hit the spot, and the pastries were unbelievable. The staff was incredibly kind. If you’re in Boonsboro, make this your weekly treat.”

“I was exploring Lynchburg over the weekend and stumbled upon Troublemaker Coffee, tucked right into the heart of a charming local toy and book store. Walking into what felt like a beloved community institution and finding serious third wave coffee inside was one of those delightful surprises that make travel worthwhile.

I ordered an oat latte and watched the barista work a gorgeous La Marzocco machine with the kind of confidence that comes from real skill. You can always tell when someone knows their equipment, and this crew clearly does. The espresso pulled beautifully: rich, balanced, with that syrupy consistency that signals fresh beans and precise extraction. They use Oatly, which is hands down the best oat milk for coffee. It steams to that perfect microfoam consistency and has the richness to stand up to good espresso without overwhelming it. The latte art was almost too pretty to disturb.

The result? Absolutely delicious. Smooth and creamy, with the espresso cutting through just enough to remind you this is coffee, not a milkshake. It’s that ideal balance that’s surprisingly hard to find, even in cities with competitive coffee scenes.

But what really won me over was the atmosphere itself. Surrounded by books and toys, with the gentle ambient sounds of a well loved local shop, Troublemaker offers something increasingly rare: a genuine third place where you can settle in, read, and just breathe for a while. The servers were fantastic, warm and attentive without hovering, checking in at exactly the right moments.

I was also glad to see they sell Slowpoke sourdough loaves. Clearly they know quality when they see it.

It’s the kind of spot that makes you wish you were local. If you’re visiting Lynchburg, bring a book, order that oat latte, and give yourself permission to linger. Troublemaker will make it worth your while.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“Excellent service from the moment I arrived - let’s just say a cone and I had a little disagreement in the parking lot. Kat went above and beyond handled it like a pro. She helped me pick out a great tasting Matcha and kept the good vibes going by supporting the team with words of encouragement. A very pleasant experience.”

“Loved this place! Four of us went to dinner, each getting something entirely different from the menu and we all cleaned our plates. The decor and music were fun, the drinks were all amazing, and the salsas and guacamole were delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. Lynchburg is lucky to have an option that is a little extra special from the norm - I would encourage anyone visiting or longtime residents to try Uno Mas.”

“I don't know how I'd get through the work day without my morning lotus energy drink-- which is delicious. customer service is also top tier!”

“Iced lattes are always on point!”

“The service was phenomenal and the coffee and pastries tasted amazing. I'm not sure why this place has a lower rating, the prices are fair for the service being rendered. If you're wanting a cheap coffee, this place isnt for you. But if you have the extra money or just want to show a little local appreciation, this is the place to be. Thanks for making the weekend at the conference center a memorable one! Can't wait to come back to Lynchburg just to visit you guys!”

“I had a great experience when I came in the workers greeted me. The atmosphere was great. The food was phenomenal. I will definitely return huge shout out to Bailey, Simone, and Jason for helping me today”
