    Great family style dining. Basic price is $18 per person which includes 2 "meat" entrees and 5…read moresides plus iced tea and choice of desserts. There are up charges for certain entrees, though. I'm not going to list everything , however I will say that I found everything to be high quality and delicious! The hardest part was getting our table of seven to agree on the choices! Great service and comfortable atmosphere.

    I have seen this place for a long time driving back and forth between Lynchburg and Appomattox…read more However after all these years I finally came here for the first time with a wedding party. I am so glad that I visited. They had plenty of parking space. I was pleasantly surprised by the simple yet unique decor. The Manager and Waitstaff were incredibly courteous and friendly. We were seated in a private area with lots of spacious seating. The Homestyle food was absolutely delicious. We had roast beef, fried chicken, mashed potatoes. mac n cheese, peach cobbler, hot chocolate fudge etc. washed down with sweet ice tea! Your typical exceptional southern comfort food! They kept bringing more food out as the plates started to empty. The only thing missing was a cot on the side where we could have taken a quick nap after the meal. Everybody in the wedding party commented how delicious the food was and how friendly the wait staff were. They kept checking to see if we needed anything. Based on my first time experience here, I highly recommend this place! Thank you for the fond culinary memories made here! hope to be back again someday soon!

    Let's start with the positives - our food was delicious tonight, the salmon & grilled chicken were…read morecooked perfectly. Our server was amazing but I can't remember his name. The manager i had to speak to was very professional and apologetic for the issue we had. She offered to move us, give us a free dessert, she was trying to rectify a situation the hostess had caused. She did offer a discount on the bill which was appreciated but honestly I only voiced my complaint so hopefully it doesnt happen again. Now to the issue and the negative - the hostess sat us (me and my husband) at a table. No one around us then immediately put 3 tables together and we overheard they were sitting 15 people there. None of those 15 had inside voices and were extremely loud the entire time. We finally had to box our food up and leave. We had asked to be moved but honestly itd gotten to the point we were just annoyed that grown adults would be so loud and disrespectful in a nice restaurant. If your goal is to be drunk and loud go to bdubs or I dunno stay home so you dont ruin other people's dinner out. Overall we enjoyed the food and the staff aside from the hostess were great. We wont let this stop us from visiting again and will definitely speak up faster next time if put in a situation like that.

    Thank you for all the good food. I get Togo food here often it's good stuff, quality food.read more

    The Red Lobster at the mall is definitely outside of my normal restaurant area since I live…read moredowntown. But I have friends from Farmville who come into town regularly and have taken me out to eat here a couple of times now. A good restaurant experience can be pretty dependent on the waitstaff. If you go here to eat, ask for Starla if she is working when you are there! She is a kind and skilled wait person who has worked there for three years and knows all there is to know about the place. They have a fairly extensive menu and both times I have been there, seem to have a steady customer presence, but enough space and staff to deal with what comes along. They have all of the bells and whistles online that these National chains seem to have to attract and keep customers. The people I go with love the rolls and they are certainly a nice addition to the experience.

    We stopped in today for a birthday. We order the mariners boil for our guest. When it arrived I was…read moreshocked and disappointed. It looked nothing like description in the menu. They say it can serve 4-5. A 73 yo man eat the whole thing. The fillet was small but extremely salty. I could eat the fries, the salt instantly irritated my lip and tongue. We won't be back.
