Tater Tots
Gabe P.

Upon arrival into Lynchburg, my niece and nephew came here on a Thursday night to grab some food. It wasn't crowded so we found a table easily. We actually sat close to the live entertainment; which was a saxophonist. He was really good but it was kind of odd to see this at what I consider to be a sports bar. HCP was the first restaurant we ever tried while visiting the area over a year ago. For the most part food/service has been consistent but lately I have noticed some drop off. Nothing insane but just little things. Recent visit I ordered buffalo wings and tots. Guess what l?' They were out of tots!!! I was devastated. My nephew had a flatbread pepperoni pizza and fries and my niece had the bbq pork fries. They enjoyed their food. They even had dessert... I know , I am the best auntie!!! Lol My wings were sent back bc they weren't well done. When they arrived back for the second time , they were practically burnt but at least had a nice flavor. I had a really nice , drinkable IPA to wash down my wings. I love their beer selection here. Draft and can beer options available. Our server was slightly forgetful. We had to ask for a few things a couple of times. The service wasn't horrible but could have been better. Overall , 6/10 (that's what's my niece said) lol I also came back here the night before I left town. HCP is so convenient and my hotel was so close that I could have walked. This visit I sat at the bar since I was alone. The bar service is just way better in my opinion. The bartenders were all cool and made nice drinks. I had a yummy dirty martini and for food I just ordered some potato skins to snack on. They were massive and enough to share with like 3 or 4 people! If you love bacon like me, they were loaded with bacon. This is a great app!!! Although I dropped one star from my previous review, HCP is still a good spot to grab a drink , watch some sports and get some decent food. I am sure I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

Solid food in a big open space. First thing I like is open space and cleanliness. Also... different channels on the many tvs. Something for everyone. It was a slow afternoon for them and service was quick, efficient and the food was delicious. Just had a basic Turkey Rachel which is toasted rye bread, thousand island dressing and turkey. Seasoned crispy waffle fries for the win and quick fast delicious and I would return if in the area... I'd try the wings!

Went here with a handful of friends and was served promptly. The servers were nice and attentive and the menu had many options available. The only gripe I had with this place was the quality of the food received. I got the loaded steak and cheese and fries that came out to around 12 ish dollars. The cheesesteak was anything but loaded and the meat was so finely minced it might as well have been ground beef. The peppers and cheese were also minced into the sandwich and the bread was so oily that it was falling apart in my hands. Everything at this establishment is just a tad bit oversalted. The fries had massive chunks of salt on them. I've heard of flaky finishing salt but this salt was more akin to rock salt. All in all great service but somewhat lackluster food. Might think about coming back here in the future.

Overpriced, especially for the portions. Food was cold. Ordered tacos, fries, burger, nothing was hot off the grill.

This place is always on point with their food and service! No matter how busy they are they remain…read moreconsistent on quality-I never have to worry about going there. The mimosas are fantastic, so many varieties. If you can't decide they have a flight called,"My girlfriend can't decide ", where you choose 3 different flavored mimosas at a great deal! The Water Dog also has the best omelettes and grits around ! The grits are always creamy and come out hot (theirs always comes out hot-I can't stand to have cold food delivered to me). The omelettes are huge, I can never finish it in one seating, they are fluffy and loaded with whatever ingredient you choose. Let's not forget the eggs benedict! You get perfect poached eggs(not overcooked) and just the right amount of hollandaise so you have some with every bite. The outdoor seating (heated when necessary) is pet friendly if you'd like to bring your fur baby in which they also provide water bowls. Whatever you get there you will not be disappointed in the service , food and drinks. My husband and I love this place!

The Reuben on marbled rye came out perfectly grilled with plenty of corned beef and a side of sweet potato fries, and the quesadilla had a nice char and a hearty filling. The problem was the wait. After ordering, we sat for an excessively long time before any food showed up. Once we finally ate, flagging down someone for the check was another ordeal, and it took forever to get it and then get out the door. A meal that should have taken an hour stretched far longer than it should have. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, but the service pacing needs serious work. If you're not in a hurry and don't mind a long sit, the food is worth it. If you have anywhere to be, plan accordingly.

I was already not in the mood for anymore drinking after spending a weekend in a major tournament in Lynchburg. Anyways, for a Saturday evening, this place was pretty packed both inside and outside. We both ended up getting a flight of beers each and every one was great. The food surprised me as my fish tacos was super fresh. The chips and queso was also great. Overall, a must see - especially for the view of the mountains if you decided to eat outdoors.

They just do them all very slowly or at least they did when I was there. We came here on a Monday evening, and it was somewhat busy but there were visible empty tables and a couple spots at the bar. We went to the bar and waited awhile before the bartender asked what we wanted. I didn't ask for a flight because he seemed too busy. Whatever I wanted they were out of, but I ended up with an Imperial 16-point IPA which was quite tasty. I also got some chicken nachos, but I had to go stand in line to order them. They were adequate but not worth the wait. The place was very disorganized. They had workers always standing by the hostess desk, but the bartender was overwhelmed. Seemed like they should have had more than one, after all it is a brewery. Would have loved to try more beer but we just left and went back into Lexington for another round at another place. I don't know maybe it was just a bad night.

Visit Date: April 15, 2026…read more Bernard's in Roanoke delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We ordered the Frickles (fried pickles with horseradish ranch) and the Irishman sandwich, which comes loaded with housemade corned beef brisket, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing, along with a side of house-cut fries. Everything arrived looking great and tasted even better. The corned beef brisket really stood out--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fries were hot and perfectly done, rounding out the meal nicely. Matt, our server, was excellent--attentive without being overbearing, offered great recommendations, and kept my glass filled the entire time. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The restrooms were also very clean, which is always a plus. It's conveniently located just a short walk from the Hotel Roanoke. Overall, I'd highly recommend Bernard's. I'd gladly come back again--honestly, I'd go back tomorrow.

My party was floored by how good the food was at Bernard's. Located in downtown Roanoke, it was an…read moreeasy walk from our hotel. After entering, I appreciated the elegant dark wooden tones inside, as well as the dim lighting. Our server was attentive, and while it took a bit to get our food, it was worth the wait. My friend ordered fried pickles, which were plentiful and crispy. I ordered a steakhouse burger, which had a delightful layer of caramelized bacon. The most captivating dish was my buddy's shrimp and grits. It had a creamy sauce that everyone tried and scooped up. I was shocked at how balanced and rich it was, along with the smooth grits. If I ever return to Roanoke, I will come right back to Bernard's.
