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.”

We got the cheese wontons, gyozas and pork belly buns as an appetizer and they were all so good and loved the flavor of all of them! for my dish i got the vegetable ramen and it was just what i was looking for i will definitely be getting it again!

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.”

“Somehow, even giving a 5-star review feels disrespectful. If you’re looking for the absolute best food in Lynchburg, County Smoak is our hidden gem. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with smiles and a warm welcome that instantly makes you feel like you are the favorite nephew at the family reunion. The staff is incredibly friendly and clearly takes pride in what they do.

What makes this place special goes far beyond the incredible barbecue. You can truly feel that this is a family-owned business built on passion, hard work, and hospitality. The owners have created an atmosphere that feels welcoming, authentic, and personal—something that’s becoming harder and harder to find these days.

And then there’s the food. Simply put, it’s outstanding. Everything on the menu is awesome and made with the kind of care that only comes from people who genuinely love what they do. All of the many awards County Smoak has won are well deserved!

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, County Smoak is a must-visit. In my opinion, this is the best food in Lynchburg, and it’s not even close.

Thank you to the owners and the entire team for creating a place where people feel welcomed, part of the family, and well-fed. We will definitely be back!”

“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.”

“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.

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!”

“Staff is friendly, lot's of options, vegan options(yay!), a nice treat on a hot day.

“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.”

“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.

I look forward to seeing what changes are made on the rotating menu.”

“Absolutely the best! will be back for more soon! Very authentic Philippine cuisine!”

“Great, homemade food. I had the meatloaf and I’m not usually in favor of a tomato gravy, but this was DELICIOUS. Everything was fresh and HOT, plus it was great meeting Val at the end of our meal.”

“Got an ice Americano after walking Blackwater creek trails. It was delicious!!!!”

“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 ⭐”

“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!”

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!!”

“Buena comida recomiendo Esta de pocas 🇺🇸🇸🇻🇲🇽🇬🇹”

“Had a great experience! I ordered the salmon with Caesar salad—everything was cooked perfectly, and the salmon was moist and full of flavor. Really impressed with the quality.

“If you told me theres a place where the workers make it seem like you are family and make very good food that wont make you feel bloated afterwords I would've said you are lying until I experienced it first hand with Barbara and her lovely crew.

You cant tell me that's not a steal. Worth every penny I paid”

“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.”
