Smiling faces, hot, freshly served food (keep in mind, we were with a large group), and absolutely delicious meals made this a place worth returning to. We were in the LYH for my son's wedding (congratulations, Kitwana!), and everyone kept saying, "I'm going to My Duke's!" I figured the locals knew best--and they were absolutely right. Omelets (A), turkey sausages (A), chicken sausages (A), potatoes (A), grits (A), grain toast (A), biscuits m (A)... and top it all off with a mimosa! Breakfast rule 101, don't have to be fancy, just good (mission accomplished). Tell Duke we'll be back soon!

Perfect crust! So cinnamon-y sweet I ate the whole thing without syrup! Soft scrambled eggs were like heaven. Pork sausage links were so juicy. The grilled potato's so, so good, paired with the sausage it was the perfect amount of salt. I also got a side of sautéed mushrooms, you cannot go wrong with that combo if you love all of these things. The chef really cares for his craft. The vibe of the Acorn Hill Lodge And Bistro is absolutely adorable. Neon light sign in the window, Christmas lights wrapped around supports. Not too bright, not too dark. Again, perfect for early morning! They have more amenities and businesses on sight I hope to check out in the future. No photos, I ate it all too fast. Sorry, not sorry. 10/10! Get those Pancakes!

A bit of a wait, but that was to be expected given that it was also Valentines Day. The hostess greeted us and kept us updated on an approximate wait time. Ultimately, waited for about 20 minutes. The wait time proved to be 100% worth! The menu had something to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Our waitress was swamped covering two stations, but so attentive to our table. Coffee, OJ and waters were delivered quickly. Once our order was taken, our food was delivered piping hot within 10 minutes. Our meals were incredibly delicious and very generous in portion size. Will absolutley return next time we are in town.

The service at this restaurant is impeccable.

I happen to like really friendly staff, as that is an open door to build a relationship relationships between a business and a consumer. I like it when they remember my name and what I like to eat. Now let's get down to the actual reason for the three stars. I ordered a Waygu smashburger, which was $17 including french fries. I'm from California so this is a normal every day price for me. The hamburger was not exceptional, but it was good. I enjoyed it. It was not overly seasoned and the meat was a good quality and it was pretty good size. I was able to cut it in half and enjoy the other half later. My review is for the french fries. I realize they're fresh cup fries, but I eat at restaurants all the time and I'm able to have crispy fresh cut fries. These were soaked in grease, Wimpy, and the seasoning obviously has sugar in it, which really came through because they were over seasoned. I do not like wasting food and I tried to figure out a way to save these fries so that I could actually digest them, but there was no saving them. My recommendation to this restaurant is to work on your french fries or eliminate them, offer a side salad or offer potato chips with your hamburger. One you will not waste food and you won't risk a bad review. The second reason for this review was the coffee. I ordered a decaf Americano. I'm not sure where they're getting their roast, or if the barista was just not trained on how to pull a proper espresso to make the Americano, but the coffee was very bitter. I'm very particular about my coffee and there's no reason to serve a bitter Americano. The positive: love biscuits, and I really love the ambience of that place. It is truly a market where you can find just about anything including gifts and gourmet foods. I think they could really enhance that environment by adding a whole spice section with unique spices because there's no place in Lynchburg where you can find those. It's such a great location and such a nice vibe when you walk in the door because the staff breeds you with a smile and genuine kindness. They have just opened so please take this review with a grain of salt and give it a try for yourself. I would definitely have the Burger again, sans French Fries.
