    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.

    Turkey Rachel with Waffle Fries*

    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!

    a plate of fries and a sandwich
    Ben Y.

    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.

    If you like typical greasy pub food, this your place. The atmosphere was good and our waitress was friendly.

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

One person in our party said her salad had the best dressing she's ever had. The fried pickles were good. The shrimp was good. One bartender was good. Cons - We walked in and basically weren't sure what to do. There was a woman at we thought was a hostess stand, but she never said anything to us. We finally asked if we needed to check in with her to get seated. We did. But it was kind of weird. One bartender was awful. Never made eye contact. Wouldn't take any orders. Acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. I thought the Caesar salad was ok. It came with lacquered salmon. I would have loved the salmon, but not lacquered. It couldn't be made to order. Ok fine. I ordered it the way it was described. There was nothing lacquered about that salmon. It also was shredded on top of the salad and was maybe two ounces. That's ridiculous. Our server wasn't very helpful and not very attentive. I'm sure many people have had great experiences there, but I'm not sure I would take the time to go back.

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.

After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to return to those special ones, that have made a difference in my life and highlight them, for the benefit of the public, so they too can have an opportunity to appreciate the qualities of a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience. And Bernard's Gastropub & Eatery in Downtown Roanoke, is a perfect example. Bernard's was born out of the love of two culinary aficionados turned professionals that in someway have managed to create a restaurant with an environment that transmits this intimate love to the hearts of their customers through the attention to detail in its extraordinary customer service and amazing culinary masterpieces. Today, I felt like dining at this restaurant, which I admire for its consistency in always far exceeding my high expectations of what a fine-dining restaurant should be all about. Not knowing if they would have a table for me at this late time on a Saturday early evening, I drove in my pearl white Lexus to the nearest private parking lot and gave them a call to inquire as if they could give me a reservation for the next ten minutes. A gentleman, who later I found out was named Matthew, and would be my server, answered the phone with a very polite and welcoming voice; answering my question of what was the special dish of the day and to come on down, that my reservation was assured. As soon as I arrived to the small, very elegant foyer in front of the Host's station, he came out to greet me and instantly recognized who I was. My only request was that he give me a low table because at my age seating at a high table was a bit uncomfortable. He went back to see what he could find and ended setting me up with what I consider one of the best tables of the house, and I was so appreciative of his last minute accommodation. The menu was already setup on my table. He poured water from a special bottle into my water glass and asked if I wanted something else to drink. I asked for a Mocktail and since he also was a bartender, he prepared me one of the best mocktails I've ever had. To dine, I started out with their Mussels Carbonara appetizer, which came in a bacon parmesan cream sauce that was simply amazing, and served with toast points. As my main entrée I had the Dinner Special of the Night, the Seafood Trio. It had a delicious, giant size crab cake in the middle, scallops, and shrimps, with parmesan risotto sautéed heirloom tomato, spinach, and nice size asparagus, with a burre blanc sauce. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the high-quality of their food and magnificent ambiance of the place. Everything was so delicious that only one word could ever describe them: priceless! For dessert I had their very famous Butterscotch Banana Pudding, which the chef makes at the moment ordered. It looked spectacular and tasted amazingly delicious: a culinary work of art. What a great way for the Gran Finale of an extraordinary dining experience!
