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.

You really can't see the river or the bluff from up there, and you can't even catch a glimpse of the back of the iconic, historic Virginian rooftop sign. That said, if you set the view aside, the actual dining experience was very good! We started off with the pork belly and the warm Brie with jam. The pork belly is the thinner, crispier, bacon-style variety rather than the thick-cut slab style--it was on the drier side, but really well seasoned. The warm Brie and jam combination was excellent. For my main course, I went with the pork ribeye, which was cooked and seasoned nicely. Others at the table ordered the New York strip steak and the crusted salmon, and there wasn't a single complaint around the table. Major hat tip to the bartender as well--they made a proper Ranch Water using real bottled mineral water instead of shortcutting it with club soda from the gun. After dinner, relaxing by the outdoor fire pit with a drink was the highlight of the night. Worth a visit for the food, drinks, and fireside lounge atmosphere!

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!

Dish is my go to for all occasions…read more This visit was with a friend visiting from Georgia. We had items from the basic menu along with the daily specials. All delicious as always. Staff here is always very welcoming.

I just moved to Lynchburg a month ago and experienced dining downtown last night (for the first…read moretime) and it really made me question if I will ever go downtown again to eat out. I have several issues but will start with the first one that really bothers me: 1. As I approached the restaurant I noticed this homeless man walking around the block with a walker. I was in Dish from 5 - 6:30 and this homeless man came in THREE times to go into the bathroom (he was not a customer). This was not only a huge turn off but IMO a sanitary issue of him going into the bathroom doing who knows what. I saw the expression on the waitress face like she did not know what to do. Was there a manager working? Is this how it is at every restaurant in town that they allow homeless people in to use the bathroom? Are there homeless shelters for people in town to provide care and feeding for them? 2. I ordered a glass of wine on the Happy Hour menu and it was weak, like water was added to it. 3. I ordered the Smoke Salmon encrusted in Puff Pastry and the puff pastry was not cooked all the way (it was clearly visible that it was not a golden brown but rather a pale yellow. I just hope my future experiences in this lovely town on much better than I experienced last night. And one more thing, I have stomach issues today, and all I can think of is the cooks using that bathroom where this homeless guys went in 3 times in 90 minutes. I question how this is not Board of Health Violation.
