This is one of our favorite Lynchburg places…read more The salad bar is amazing to start and then there are many options for the "main course" in terms of steak, chicken (of course) and fish. Make sure you try some of the amazing sides.

We were visiting friends in Lynchburg and this is where we went for dinner on a Friday evening…read more There is a decent parking lot located right beside the restaurant. The service and food were excellent. The steak was very very good and the bacon appetizer is worth getting just for the variety of flavors. They also have a good and fresh salad bar for you to make your own salad. The indoor area was nicely done. This is an excellent location for a nice dinner out.

Since Im new to NC I was confused when waitress brings a small platter with 2 pieces of toasted bread and 2 small slices of cheddar cheese (like how other places bring you rolls). Toast & Cheese?? I mean, it was good, I just have questions . Anyway this place is great

The ambiance was very pleasant and what I expected for the type of restaurant and the area. Homey, in a way. The salad bar and sweet potatoes are the only things I might recommend, especially the salad bar. The filet mignon was not a filet mignon, the ribs tasted strange, and the quality of the rare steak was questionable. The rest I am unsure of.

We used to love New London Steakhouse but something changed. Went there last night (Wednesday) and…read moreordered a filet and ribs. We were a bit concerned that the meal came out so quick. Very quick! Certainly not enough time to make a steak! Not even half the time! I knew something was a bit off with my filet. It looked old like it was cooked days before. I ate it. The ribs were ok but they looked mushy and shredded. Came home and in the middle of the night my husband got sick. I woke up early because I feel nauseous. I don't think I will be returning. Gave two stars because the waitress and atmosphere (and salad bar) were great.

Jackson runs a great bar. On a Monday I would expect it to be slow and it was but he makes sure to be personable and on point with the servers that need his assistance. He gets it. Really recommend I&A.

We visited Iron and Ale after a graduation ceremony and, unfortunately, left pretty underwhelmed…read more The restaurant wasn't especially busy, there were a few large tables, but plenty of open seating, so we expected a smoother experience. My husband ordered the fish and chips, and the fish was overcooked to the point that it was mostly breading. I ordered the French dip, and it had the same issue: overwhelmingly bread with very little substance. We also ordered an appetizer of fried green tomatoes that never arrived. On top of that, the Paloma I ordered wasn't a Paloma at all, it tasted like a straight margarita, with strong tequila and overpowering lime. When I mentioned it, both the server and bartender insisted it was because they "use white grapefruit juice," which didn't explain the margarita flavor in the slightest. Overall, it was a disappointing visit, especially for what was meant to be a celebratory occasion.

Their specials are just recycled leftovers. Thursday is "prime rib night". Prime rib is , fine at best, but the next Tuesday you can have 5 day old prime rib as a "prime rib sandwich special" wink, wink. When you arrive less than an hour after they are open and there is only 3 specials left, you know it is just a leftover from the night before, which was affirmed by the wait staff. If you like mediocre food with okay service, this is the place for you.

Hands down, my favorite place to go!…read more Molasses Grill has easily become mine and my husband's favorite date night spot. The ambiance is always perfect, from the music to the lighting, candles, decor, and of course, the absolutely delicious food! Everything is always fresh and you can tell that the chef really puts his time in when making these amazing dishes. The attention to detail, flavors, and diversity of the menu truly sets this place apart. One of my favorite things about dining at Molasses is talking to the adorable women who work here. Everyone is always super friendly, but if you get the chance to dine with Jordan the bartender or Cristina the server, you are in for a great time. They both have such an awesome presence and bring amazing energy to the restaurant and overall experience for their guests. I highly recommend going in and dining with them!
