The food and service are outstanding! When in season the chili is terrific. The salmon dish is my favorite. Lily's homemade cakes and pies are "to die for"! read more

Boiled egg salad Club Sandwich Amazing specials daily except Sunday Loving service They even bring mom's order to her in the car Nice take out or eat in read more

We went near closing time (3pm, we arrived at 2:30), so that might be a factor. We ordered a burger and a Philly cheesesteak, both came with chips. Neither of our orders were correct. We ordered the burger with tomato only, and it came with everything. The Philly all the way, minus green peppers, and it had cheese only. We felt rushed so we didn't send them back. They were sweeping the floors around us and turning up chairs while we ate. Kinda disappointing, because I had heard good things about the place and the people who run it. Maybe I will give them another chance when it's earlier in the day. I'll say this-they have a nice dessert menu. Wish I had the opportunity to stay long enough to try something. I'll update the review if and when I go back. read more

This is a great little place to eat. Their chicken salad is delicious. Cute seating area inside and never a long wait. Fast service.

Reasonable prices, good service, nice atmosphere - and the food was great! My partner had the house burger and pronounced it almost as good as homemade, I had the steak sandwich, and we split an order of crisp onion rings. We will be back! I highly recommend it! read more

V&T is a consistent delicious dining choice. Waitstaff is experienced, friendly and quick. I've been eating there for years!

Food is good but we found the prices to be a little high. But isn't everything these days?

I love the V&T. I recently went for lunch, and for the first time in my ten times eating here, it was not the best food. I didn't complain, just because. But, the amazing staff noticed I didn't eat most of my sandwich. They immediately inquired, and offered to redo. Next, who I assumed was the owner/manager was at the table to look at my plate and make amends. She made sure I was satisfied and gave me a treat when I left. I will certainly go back. Thank you, to a business that cares they do their best. read more

Great, comfy little hometown cafe/diner. Staff are super friendly and accommodating, the food is really good, and you can't beat the prices.

Very friendly staff food was very good my only complaint is the sweet tea could definitely use more sugar

Service was not great, waitress told us to pick something off if we didn't want it in our salad. Chili tasted like it was out of a can. Got the blackened chicken, wasn't blackened and it was not a great quality piece of chicken, it was tough. read more

Stopped by to try this cafe for lunch one day. It was good, not great. It is very cozy inside and has a good atmosphere. I got the the Rueben and I thought it was well made aside from the sour kraut not being as tender. Four stars because there were obviously quite a few regulars whom the staff would pay attention to more than the others. read more

Not a fan. 1 and done. Chicken salad sandwich consist of 2 tablespoons if that much put in the middle of toast. Oriental chicken salad is basically romaine lettuce with some noodles. Dressing ugh. Chicken melt came with a few chips. Nothing was awful but it had no taste and small portions. Ice cream was good. read more

Absolutely disrespectful staff! Do not go to this place, one of the workers came out to the vehicle demanding a tip. She was literally at the car door harassing me & my family. I have never in my entire life had a worker come outside to the vehicle harassing about a tip. You should just be thankful for getting service we paid for our food, if someone wants to give you a tip they will but don't harass your customers. Very rude & very unprofessional! read more

The food was okay but completely bland. Even the fries had no salt. If you are not into spices, this is your place. I like shrimp salad with bay seasoning. So maybe it's partly my fault because I didn't ask if it came with any seasoning but I put garlic on it and ate it anyway. The chicken salad was good but slightly bland also. read more

One adorable cafe with great food and deserts! Lily, the owner, is awesome and always so kind. She has gone above and beyond to make my young niece happy. Their food is very reasonable and always good. There are quite a few dessert choices then quite a bit of Hershey's ice cream flavors, then they do sundaes, milkshakes, floats, etc. Lunchtime and prime dinner time are particularly busy and seating is tight, but what a cool place! read more

Stepped inside into a nostalgic, beautifully decorated cafe. The menu provides so many options to choose from. Everything tasted delicious. Next time I come, will need to leave some room for dessert as there is quite a selection of ice cream flavors, sundaes, and various other goodies. read more

This little diner hits the spot! Great food and friendly staff. Try the shrimp salad sandwich or reuben. Can't go wrong. Tons of ice cream and cake options for dessert. Will definitely be back with my family. read more

Good local place to eat with decent prices and hometown favorites. This place takes you back in time and it's one of those old school hole in the wall places you don't see too much of anymore. It's your basic munchies and snack foods. Would have rated it higher except they charge for refills on fountain sodas without disclosing to you that refills are extra--they rely on you reading the tiny print on the menu. Ended up being MUCH more expensive then we would have liked and the waitress's tip suffered for that. Overall decent place! read more

I come here everyday for lunch! Best food ever, affordable and they serve beer :D. Owner is very friendly!

I'm a fan. It is locally owned. I often order the chicken sandwich for lunch. I call it in and go pick it up. The staff are friendly. Good food. I think the staff tries to make each experience there special. read more

I've never had the ice cream or yogurt, but I had a great lunch there. Their sandwiches are excellent.

Great place and nice people. Food is wonderful and so is the owner, Lily. My parents have been coming here for years.

Great place, awesome atmosphere, amazing staff. This place is an awesome place to bring date to if you want to go somewhere unique in Lynchburg. The place has an old school 70's vibe to it. Really enjoyed my dinner there read more

See all

Stopped in this little place for lunch- what a find. It's not "fine dining", but I liked it. It's located on a back corner of a large shopping center anchored by a Food Lion. you have to look for it. It is a coffee shop, cafe and ice cream parlor all in one. The decor is warm and inviting, with art on the walls, with circular tables for four, and a two-seat wine bar. I felt at home from the moment we walked in. The two owners welcomed us heartily. The service was efficient, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I ordered a Reuben Sandwich on rye toast, which was perfect in every way. Sandwiches come with a chips accompaniment. My guest ordered a French Dip sandwich which she thought was the best she'd ever had. The atmosphere is quiet but not to the point you are reluctant to converse. There is an extensive breakfast and lunch menu and a dinner menu with just about anything you'd want. I think the "hospitality" was the best characteristic of this place- the owners and staff work hard to ensure that. Parking in the shopping center lot. It's good for older or well-behaved kids. read more

My wife and I love this place. We like bringing our granddaughter for a meal and ice cream. The staff is wonderful!

The service is friendly and competent, the atmosphere is relaxing, the coffee is quite good. This little hidden gem is an excellent place to bring a date for some ice cream, or to simply read your favorite book over a caramel latte (which I recommend). They also have lunch and dinner items if you find that your tank needs a little fill up. I definitely recommend this little ice cream parlor for lunch or dinner! read more

Very nice owners, but cannot make up for at-best just average sandwiches and salads, but priced on the higher side for this area especially. They need to step up their game with better quality and a bit more quantity in their food served or V&T will find their business customer numbers running low and still lower. This will be self-inflected. read more
