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!

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.

This was our second visit to this hidden gem in just five weeks.

Brian was our server both times, and he even remembered what we ordered on our previous visit--a level of hospitality that's hard to find. I had the salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife happily ordered the crab cakes again because they were just as delicious as she remembered. P.S. Don't leave without trying the Dreamsicle cheesecake--it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal!

I thought that restaurants would like to have the business of a large group. No. We were penalized…read moreby having to pay 20 per cent large party tax . On top of that the waitress flips the tip screen and you feel obliged to comply with 17 per cent tax. The use of your credit card added another tax food: the she crab soup was too thick and greasy. Feared to be sick with it. Total: one glass of wine cost 25$ Other restaurants -Isabella Milan - do not have those practices. At Bentleys those practices are written in tiny little print I dare anyone to be able to read without glasses- at end of menu.

Good service and a charming, historic facility can't compensate for our disastrous meals during a…read morelunch visit. We both tried the chicken with cornbread stuffing lunch entrees. After waiting about 20 minutes our server brought us a roll baked inside of a small crock and served with a tiny serving of cherry butter. The roll was warm but not warm enough to melt the butter. The cherry butter was amazing and something I've never tried; it was the best part of our meal. Our meals finally arrived after another 15 or 20 minutes. The chicken had clearly been grilled to order and was cooked long past done. It was a dry, flavorless morass. The flavorless "stuffing" was unlike any other stuffing I've ever had, but it clearly had been cooked in the past and was just bad. The promised hot honey was MIA. My sweet potato casserole had likely been sitting in the cooler until scooped up, thrown in a serving tray and moved to the oven. If the casserole had been freshly prepared it would have been excellent, but as served it was lukewarm, unattractively presented and tasted like leftover sweet potato casserole that was past its prime. My dining companion tried the corn pudding and thought it wasn't bad but it also looked like it was dredged up from the cooler. Olde Liberty Station's kitchen is in need of an overhaul. We won't be back.
