Steakhouse
This country steakhouse is approximately a 25 minute drive from the house but it offers delicious food in a quaint, casual setting. Family owned and operated. Worth the drive for a special occasion or just a nice weekend dinner with family. Salad bar included with all meals. Menu highlights are the Bubba Gump shrimp and the prime rib au jus. Good Bloody Marys. Great value as well!

The oldest continually running restaurant in Lynchburg! Also commonly referred to as "The T-Room" by locals. A dive but a gem. If you have never had a cheese western (cheeseburger with a fried egg and golden relish), you are missing out! Just go! (Best enjoyed late, late night after alcoholic beverage consumption). Chili (cheese bowl) and hot dogs (hots) are great, too.
