Food was really good, the bartender however was not very friendly, only took our order an made our drinks, would not engage in conversation with us. read more

Visited Macado's again- 13 years after my first visit. Little has changed for the better. Service is a bit slow. I had fish and chips, which was Tgood. there was one rather large hunk of fish and way too many fries at a pricey $14.00. My guest ordered chicken strips- If I had known the amount of fries I would get, she could have avoided buying a separate order of fries I recommend the Tennessee cheesecake. It still seems a Liberty U student hangout, The centrally situated bar was large and very noisy. (Does beer make one deaf?) I didnt notice it the first time I was here but the booth seats are EXTREMELY uncomfortable. They are solid flat wood with square front edges and backs. Maybe the discomfort contributes to getting people to refrain from hanging around after they eat- it sure worked for me. Use your GPS as the place is hard to find without one. Parking is adequate read more

Myself and kids really enjoyed this location. We came on trivia night and the waitress was just so wonderful. I am used to visiting downtown roanoke or Blacksburg location but we came here after a long day shopping for art supplies. I had the chicken Alfredo, kids stayed busy with the kids menu and they had a large selection of food and drinks. Everyone says "WOW" seeing the menu. Was sad the banana split is no longer available. This location didn't have the insane wall collection they do at other locations, but the service was wonderful, tvs for trivia (that night), friendly and social patrons as everyone was participating. Its close to liberty university, so carries that neighborly vibe. read more

Friday night visit - chicken salad: chicken tasted like several day old rotisserie chicken that I buy from Costco. Didn't look good or taste good. Flatbread pizza. The appearance was a piece of naan bread with sauce, sloppily thrown on with ham and cheese that appeared to have been bought at Walmart as it still contained the round shape of cheese and the look and texture of ham that you would buy out of a lunch meat container. It was not presented well and it did not taste good. Server was good. I have eaten at Macado's in Blacksburg many times with no food issues. read more

We used to come here for the 39 cent boneless wing deal. However, upon our most recent visit, they limited us from buying wings until the kitchen closed preventing us from buying any more. Losing profit and costumers over a lack of work ethic speaks volumes to the restaurant and its staff. read more

I would like to say that I had never eaten at a Macado's before and the food and service was wonderful. I left my CC by accident, and I spoke to a wonderful employee Lee Krantz whom cut my card up for me into tiny pieces while on the phone with me. His customer service and friendliness were much appreciated. I would highly recommend this restaurant:) Tricia B. read more

WOW! I loved it here, my experience was top tier. I came for the Sunday special and got exceptional service. My server, Cece, had answers to all of my questions and constantly made sure my drink was full! I enjoyed the Bang Bang boneless wings. Food = 11/10 She said the fry chef, Brad, was the best fry cook and could accommodate my request of half cooked frips! (Try it if you haven't!) The vibe of the restaurant was quite amazing with awesome decor! read more

As a customer, my boyfriend & I started coming a few weeks ago for dates. I used to spend weekends here drinking w/ my friends when I was younger & not much has changed, it's still a nice spot to hang out but seems to be not nearly as busy as it used to. Our food has been good all except for the fish & chips, my fish wasn't seasoned enough to my liking & their side salads aren't good but I suppose you could request iceberg lettuce instead of romaine. The frozen drinks are great but could use a little more alcohol. The frozen ice cream sandwich is to die for. The bang bang shrimp is our favorite of the appetizers. The service is good & everyone is very friendly. As a Dasher w/ DoorDash who picks up from here often, I've never had to wait for an order upon arrival. read more

I have been here twice. Both times I had to stand out front for at least 10 minutes because no one was up front. Today I I went to the bar and no one was there either. As I was getting ready to leave the bartender came out of the backroom so I asked if I could order. He said did I know what I wanted. I asked for a menu. So, he have me a menu. When I told him I was ready to order he said oh, will find someone to take your order. I was perplexed at that point. The only person I saw was what I thought a customer so I just said ok. The bartender walks over to this individual and said something. I didn't think much of it until she got up and walk over towards me and said something to me. I didn't understand what she said so I asked what she said and she said come up front and I will take your order so u said OK. She took my order and I received my order in a reasonable amount of time from the time I actually placed the order. The service is terrible here. Also, both times the place was dirty. read more

We had friendly service but the food lacked flavor as in the case of the salsa con queso. Even the tortilla chips tasted a little stale. Cheeseburger was okay but I needed extra ketchup to put some flavor into it. Overall I felt the food was a little bland. read more

The food was horrible. Wild bill burger Potatoe skins Save your hard earned money and skip this location read more

Never have eaten here and I don't need to in order to give constructive feedback to the customer service. The overall customer service experience is extremely slow and pathetic in terms of wait times to simply pick up a DoorDash delivery which takes upwards 20-30 minutes. Nothing to say about the dining experience or ambiance and I am skeptical to even give this place a try for its "food". read more

We go occasionally after church. The food is always good, service is a little slow. My complaint is how this place looks outside. There is a small patch of plants from the corner to the door, full of weeds, cigarette butts. And there is a cedar type tree growing in these weeds near the front door which we have watched since it was quite small. The bathroom had toilet paper on the floor and looked very messy. Just a poor presentation , looks neglected. read more

The wait time is HORRENDOUS! When I come here I have to find the host in the back just to be seated. it takes more than 8 minutes for a server to take my beverage order and it's a long wait for food. I am unsure who the manager is but It is clear that there are not enough staff. The waiter I received today was a gentleman & sweetheart. He did a great job at being personal. The business just needs to prioritize timeliness as a whole. read more

Food and service was good BUT the air freshener was overwhelming. It was so strong that at time you could taste it. Sadly I would not eat here again because of this. read more

I have never had a sandwich here that I didn't like, which is why all the terrible reviews surprises me so much. Say what you want about any of the service you've experienced, but every time I've been, my experience has been accommodating, maybe a little slow, but always ends with whatever I ordered on the table, in front of me, hot and ready to eat. I have had 23 of the 42 sandwiches on the menu and each one has been great in its own way, which is part of the reason I love this place: the variety and consistency is killer! I think my favorite so far has to be the Ragtime or the Burlesque. You also HAVE to get the potato salad as a side--best I've ever had, hands down! Plus, if you're not into sandwiches, they have all different kinds of appetizers, shakes, and other entrees (I recommend the Irish nachos over the mozz sticks). The shakes are DELICIOUS as well, and the cinnamon sensation is just a good ol fashioned right-of-passage for anyone who's new to the LYH area. Don't let these reviews fool you; this place shells out baller food, and though it can be on the slower side concerning wait, I have always ended having a great experience. read more

Beware if you go to Macados in Lynchburg NEVER have I or any of my family been treated so poorly from any waiters or waitresses. Our so called waitress was so rude over us having family in town and wanting to put two tables together instead of sitting separately. So we decided to leave Then she proceeded to follow us outside when we left, trying to argue and fight us all over one person in our party saying you are all acting like bitches. Which, the one waitress was indeed being a bitch . I would've put a zero review if I could because this waitress was super unprofessional. read more

When your not provided a timeline and you specifically tell both the hostess and the waiter your in a hurry that's a problem. First time at this chain as it was conveniently located from the Liberty University pool. My son wanted to try and rarely do I not insist on looking at reviews. With a rush I said why not and this was a critical error on my part. Place was rustic inside with lobby case full of Simpson memorabilia, cheesy much but that's the possible allure of the place for kids maybe. The restaurant was probably 85% capacity. So yes they were busy. Seated ourself in bar area after hostess told us it was the quickest service. Asked bartender to assist us and advised my son needed food out ASAP with returning to the pool. No mention of any issue at all. After waiting 35 minutes for the equivalent of a Subway Melt sandwich I asked the timeline by going over to bar and speaking with the male server. I told him again we were in a hurry....remember. He left for 5 minutes and returned with it would be another 25-30 minutes. At that point I told him I was disappointed that he said nothing of an hour timeline to get food which should have been conveyed at time of ordering. We immediately left and had no time for food before returning to the pool. This is absolutely my fault for not checking the poor reviews before coming here. Lesson learned. But the restaurant bears the burden to communicate wait times, especially when a customer says they are in a pinch for time. read more

Macado's is one of those cool, kitschy diners with cool wall decor and great food. Their Blues Brothers burger is really good, and their hot fudge sundaes are as good as they look. I also have to commend them for their drinks; they were good and STRONG! Our server was very, very friendly and made fun conversation. read more

This place is sketch as all hell, but they serve passable food. If you're looking for by the barest definition of "food" and aren't looking for frills, service, or a non-sticky booth table, I suggest giving this place a try. The food wasn't bad but it also tastes like it was assembled with a wiki-how tutorial. It didn't give me food poisoning. Everything here is from like 8-15 dollars. If you're hungry and willing to roll the dice. Come here! I'm not even going to describe the food I received here because it doesn't matter, I assume it all tastes the same. You could close your eyes, order, and get something effectively the same as what I got. I will comment and say the burger buns were titanic. Like got buns hun? Damn. read more

Macado's - a car parked in front of a restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

This is the worst Macado's that I have ever encountered in all of my years of going to them. Every time that we have ordered food there is always something missing, down to the plasticware when ordering through DoorDash. Going in the service is so slow and I was told by a female manager that it is because of the DoorDash orders having to go out first and the broken kitchen equipment. Really? I have been traveling to Lexington and Roanoke to eat at this local chain and love it, but an hour? When the craving hits and you can't travel...just skip this disaster of a location. read more

I stopped by the restaurant today at 1:15pm for lunch. There were no cars in the front parking lot but some in the back - I'm assuming of workers. I walked in and stood at the front for a while and no one ever came to seat me. I walked around to the bar and saw no one. I noticed the parking lot was scattered with trash and even what looked like a propane tank laying near the front. I just left and went somewhere else for lunch. read more

Probably had one of the worst meals I've ever had was at this place. I ordered fish tacos that were smothered in a disgusting wasabi sauce. I do not mind wasabi but a little goes a long way and they went all the way. Besides that I've been multiple times every time the service has been incredibly slow and the quality of food is so poor. You could not pay me to set foot in that restaurant again. read more

Food wasn't great. Beer cheese was clearly microwaved with cold center. Lasagna was watery. Burger was way over cooked. Service was terrible. No diet beverage options. The ranch was the only positive. read more

Macado's - Over cooked burger, watery lasagna, cold beer cheese, and salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Absolutely NOT! On 7/21/24 Don't waste your time! Walked in, went to the bar to eat and have a beer, was NEVER greeted by the bartender and she acted like we were doing her a favor to be there. After the 10 mins of waiting, we were the ONLY people sitting at the bar, to get her attention and then get served, we decided not to order our dinner. She rolled her eyes when we said no food please and we are now contemplating where else to go to get something to eat. Let me be perfectly clear - people who decide to patronize a restaurant establishment don't need to be treated as royalty but we are spending our hard earned money to support your location, hire people who care! read more

Me and a few others came to get dinner here and the service was subpar. we got seated and were not even acknowledged nor looked at for the first THIRTY minutes we were there. we tried to remain patient because we were enjoying our night and it was obvious they were understaffed and busy. finally, i had to go wait at the hostess stand for someone to come and then plaint about the situation and we had servers come to our table. absolutely not insulting any of the staff members but there should definitely be more teamwork and looking after others tables coming from these staff as a whole. i am a server myself and this is mind blowing to me that nobody thought to even check if we were getting served. Apart from this our food was decent--nothing stood out and would definitely have enjoyed the experience better if the menu was smaller. They must have at least 70-100 items on the menu and it's hard to perfect food and give it your all if you have so many recipes to memorize and elevate. my food came out warm, definitely on the cooler side of warm and tasted decent besides that. I cant remember the name of the burger but it was a bacon cheeseburger with bbq sauce and onion rings on top. it was good but could have used more bbq sauce. definitely would not go back; especially to this location. read more

The bartender spent most of the night staring up at the TVs watching football. Wing specials were good, music a bit odd. No one at door to greet and seat customers. Felt like everyone was dialing it in. This is right across from Liberty University so you would think they would have a decent level of standard. This was their women's bathroom- can't imagine the men's! If this is how they maintain the customers restrooms, I cannot imagine what state the kitchen must be in?? read more

I would never recommend Macado's to anyone. Service was awful, food was awful, and to me, I found the restaurant dirty and unkept. My food was typical food for a bar-restaurant, nothing special. It was served cold, had no flavor and I felt like it had been made hours earlier and reheated . Our waitress was never around and we asked others many times to find our server. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

I went with my date and some of her friends for some food after an event that left us a little hungry. It was late about 10:15 when we came in. They were closing up so the menu was limited to fried food(don't know why). That was a minor inconvenience but we made do with it. Also they were out of ice for drinks, also an inconvenience we made do with. We ended up having a good time. I would only give a two star rating but the waiter was great and good service goes a long way for me. As for my food, I just got some chicken strips to eat. They were good! Hot and the right balance of crispness and softness. Often restaurants get that wrong but these were very good. read more

My wife and I walked in around 1:30pm for a late lunch at a restaurant we have both never had. We stood and waited for someone to seat us for around 10 mins looking at the art on the walls, not thinking anything of it because it wasn't a rush hour. After we sat down we had to wait another 10 minutes to just get water and meet our server. And that's when she asked "how we are doing?" We said great how about yourself and she replied with "I've been better". Not something you want to hear from your server. My wife and I both got burgers and asked for them to be cooked medium for hers and medium rare for mine... we ended up waiting for around 45 mins as the only customers in the restaurant. The server never checked on us. Once the burgers came out they were super over cooked, more than a well done burgers. And that's when she mentioned how rough her day was. She mentioned while dropping our food off that she had to clean poop out of the urinal at 7:30am and it was a rough start to 2025 as it was January 1st. Overall not a fantastic experience I have never written a review as I tolerate a lot. This was just on a whole different level. I will not ever eat at a macado's again and how the workers can be better prepared and better trained to treat customers. read more

The food is good, and I think the atmosphere leaves little to be desired. I've been coming to this restaurant for years. I'm writing this in November 2022, and I ate here today. I was shocked to see the low reviews for this place. The only complaint I'd have is that occasionally, service is slow. But the food is wonderful and I've never had a bad experience with this place. read more

Best wings in the area and the most incredible homemade ranch I've ever tasted!!! On Tuesday's and Thursday's they do 49 cent wing night where each wing is only 49 cents!! If you're not up for wings then they literally have anything else you couple possibly want to include burgers, sandwiches, tacos, pasta and so much more!! The decor is fun and they have plenty of tvs to watch the game on. read more

They charge you for things that come with your meal. I should have received boneless wings with carrots, celery, and dipping sauce. I was charged extra for dipping sauce and did not get carrots nor celery. The food is freezer food I can make in my college dorm. read more

I did a pick up order today. It took over ten minutes to get it and that was only after I went to the bar to ask. There was only the bartender and one server working out front. That is no way to run a restaurant, the general manager was no where to be found. This is the fault of the MANAGEMENT not the workers they should be staffed so that if someone calls out it can still be handled. If the excuse is they have a turnover problem then again that is a reflection of MANAGEMENT. Not only where they frazzled but my order was wrong and they did not provide me with my side. If you plan on going during lunch, DON'T!!!!! read more

Waited 40 minutes for someone to come get a drink order, Monday night not packed at all. Just plain sad honestly.

We were seated upstairs and after 15 minutes walked out because a waitress was no were to be seen. Can't rate the food. The inside of the restaurant upstairs and downstairs was the dirtiest restaurant I have ever been in. They should not be allowed to serve food, they obviously don't use and staff to clean. I would have felt better eating a hamburger at the city dump. Beware probably a good place to get a food borne illness. read more

Well my first time coming here I waited 15 minutes for sweet tea and still didn't get sweet tea then came again and then my food burnt and the people at the bar cussing and talking so loud and the music I couldn't even hear the person I went to dinner with I don't think this will stay on own list. read more
