My Lynchburg, VA Food Bucket List
I have lived in Lynchburg, VA for over 5 years now, and ultimately have discovered that there are hundreds of restaurants in this small city. There isn’t much of a nightlife in Lynchburg or a whole lot of things to do in general, but going out to eat is one of the most popular things to do. I am a food connoisseur, so over the past 5 years here, I decided to finally create a bucket list of restaurants that were my favorite–both well known and not known at all to share with others.
If you are ever around in the area, I highly recommend you try one of these places!
- Hot & Cold Cafe (This is a unique restaurant with amazing Indian and Lebanese food)
- Brothers Pizza & Grill (A great takeout place for Italian food)
- Small Batch Barbecue (Hands down the best place for barbecue in Lynchburg)
- My Dog Dukes Diner (This is a great brunch place to eat in downtown Lynchburg)
- Grey’s (Great outdoor area with unique food selections)
- Ploughcroft Tea Room (They have all sorts of tea and you feel as if you are in England)
- Rivermont Pizza (Great pizza and cool atmosphere!!)
- Farm Basket (One of my personal favorite lunch places to go to! They have some of the top sandwiches along with a cute shop)

While these are only a few of my favorite restaurants I have been to in Lynchburg, there are so many more. I am a huge supporter of local and small businesses, especially in Lynchburg! If you happen to visit and try out one of these restaurants, I’d love to hear about your experience.
