“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-🌟”

Great portion size, tasty food, needless to say I am quite satisfied. Happy to have a new breakfast place to enjoy ?”

“A friend recommended El Camino for authentic Mexican cuisine, and I must say, the recommendation was spot on. The food is exceptional—some of the best I’ve had in years—and it has quickly become my favorite spot in Lynchburg. I look forward to returning!”

Parking: Parking is very convenient and
close by!”

“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!!!”

“Visiting from Florida and this place was recommended to me. Absolutely the best bagels. I tried a maple pecan donut which was fantastic as well. I recommend this place to anyone interested.”

“I bought 4 types at the Liberty University football game. Brought them home for my wife to share. We both agree they are far better than Taylor Chip near us. Cheaper too.”

“Will DEFINITELY be going back. Absolutely delicious food. 5/5 Stars.”

“We love this place! The food is out of this world levels of delicious. I was diagnosed with Alpha Gal Syndrome a few months back, and my husband is vegetarian. This has become our go-to takeout place every Friday night. The cakes are incredible, and I highly recommend the McRib, mac and cheese, potatoes and gravy, and the bbq sandwich.”

“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.”

“Very friendly wait staff!”

“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.”

“special entrees: Hibachi Salmon and Pork Belly. So delicious!”

“Really enjoyed our afternoon stop! Thank you so much for sharing the cool vibe of the Old City with us!”

Thank you guys 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.”

“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.

“service is always good. friendly people is always a plus when eating at restaurants. there are some friendly people there. thank you for looking out for the community!”

“Really great idea to have a little express coffee shed! Love the ease of access for drive through. I got a vanilla latte w/ oat milk (just ok; kinda bland) & chocolate covered espresso beans (ahhhmazing).

Would return but would try another sweeter/more flavored coffee! Only other idea for improvement would be to modernize/ update the shed to make it look a little more appealing to customers.

Parking: 2 drive through lanes so no need to park. Nearby parking is ample & available but not a dine-in restaurant it appears.”

“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!!”
