I had recently dined at the skyline restaurant at the newly established Virginian Hotel. At first glance, a beautiful space with contemporary charm looking over Historic Downtown Lynchburg. I was just going for a drink with a friend to catch up, until I saw the menu. Itâs organized layout offers a decent variety for small bites, very intriguing. What really caught my eye was the California King sushi for Itâs description on the menu says this, â CALIFORNIA KINGAlaskan king crab, avocado, crispy asparagus, ginger soy glaze.â After the long wait for my drink, the server brought out the dish which was topped with items other than asparagus. Sifting through roughly chopped assorted greens, I forgave that issue and honed in on the crab. To my surprise I found that it was NOT King Crab but IMITATION crab meat! What a let down. Iâve experienced this with restaurants and other food establishments before...if you donât have the ingredients or itâs too late to assemble the CORRECT menu item, donât offer it. The inconsistency is concerning and I hope that corrective action is taken before this happens to the wrong guest. To add to the disappointing dinner, people were waiting at the bar trying to get an order taken which took way too long, it wasnât busy. Quality over quantity, service is about the people not the wallets.

We went on a Friday night about 6.30; our 1st visit. Our server, Lotisha was very friendly but seemed to be running all over the restaurant. The cracklins appetizer was excellent; very light, crunchy and no oily feel or taste. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. The service was extremely slow; not sure if it was the kitchen or the lack of servers or both. Even paying for our bill was a long wait. The pulled pork was about at room temperature and the ribs overcooked to the point of being very dry. The mashed potatoes were far from mashed potatoes; more potato pieces with some mash between them. On the plus side, the fries were very good as was the BBQ sauce. Between the disappointing food and long wait to be served; this visit was a completely discouraging experience...not worth repeating.

We went here for lunch and was looking forward to it. We did not leave disappointed. Eaten at several Macado's and you cannot go wrong with there sandwiches. Hefty servings of meat. This can get crowded when school is in regular session, but for lunch we were able to get seated right away. I see some of the criticisms about the service, but my server was fine. If I had any complaint is that it seemed like a large portion of the sandwiches involved chicken or turkey-add some more read meat in there please.

We return here for a burger every time we are in Lynchburg. I think that the place would be categorized as a dive; but that seems to be where you get the best food!

Our menu is filled with classic American dishes like steak, salmon, burgers, sandwiches and salads, as well as other traditional favorites like slow-roasted prime rib and our famous chicken tenders, all at a great value.

Not realizing my friend recommended this place to eat until after my mom and I got to it, we chose this restaurant based on good reviews from tripadvisor.com. The food was excellent. We were great for the waiter recommending the prime rib special as it was the perfect size, taste, and value for the later dinner my mom and I wanted. Since we were eating out later than the traditional dinner time, I was concerned that there wouldn't be good service or good food, but I was wrong. The waiter was ok and we were happy he suggested the meal we did order, but he could have been a little more attentive to us during our meal and made fewer comments about what we ate while there. A waiter should comment about how someone cleared their plate and he did. The waiter wouldn't make us not come back again, just would ask for someone else.

We were there for lunch on a Thursday so it wasn't too busy. We sat inside, because it was extremely hot. We ordered the Mediterranean wrap and fried brussel sprouts. The fried brussel sprouts were out of this world. Absolutely delicious. The wrap was really good as well. My only complaint was the slow refilling of our glasses. The restaurant was clean and I would eat there again, if we are in town.

Our son wanted us to go here and it was for a good reason. This is the best BBQ I have ever had. It had a taste like no other. It was laden with sauce and it definitely wasn't dry. It was just right. It had me at thee first bite. There is sauce on the table but it needed nothing. Nice restaurant and very nice staff. Nothing fancy but clean. We were talking about going back again before we finished eating, This is my favorite place to eat now. Thanks for opening a perfect place to enjoy a good meal. I would recommend it to anyone. We had the pulled pork plate. I can't wait to go back!

Went for late dinner (around 9 pm Sat). Were seated right away.Overall service was excellent and the restaurant seemed relatively clean, even after dinner rush.Typical ambiance on par with the likes of Chili's, TGIF, and Applebee's. Food wasn't bad, but was disappointed with the prime rib.Maybe it was late evening but it tasted like it was in the warmer bit too long.Chicken taco was OK and Cobb salad was decidely average.Portions were generous.The food was competent at best but did not wow me.Overall, 3 1/2 stars ...
