The Water Dog

A renovated slaughterhouse from the old days where rail was big in Lynchburg makes for a really neat atmosphere. The po boy with Cajun remoulade was great! The sweet potatoes fries were a little overdone but the sweet honey and sea salt balanced really well. Overall happy and we will make this a regular spot on our visits to Lynchburg.

Cool little spot, great draught beer selection, can't go wrong with Natty Bo on tap. Older building with charm of the old city. Didn't have any food, but the menu looked good with upscale bar food and oysters.

5 stars all the way! If you're looking for something a little different than the run of the mill meal- this is your place to go! The Salmon Salad and the Chicken Jerk Nachos were awesome! We also split the Berry Pie dessert thing with ice cream. Mmmmmm...! We were just traveling through, but it ended up being a terrific find! Ann Marie, you made our meal even more enjoyable, with your infectious smile and welcoming demeanor! Thanks for a great lunch!

Tried to order takeout once and they wouldn’t take our order because they were too busy. Finally got in another time and it was decent. I got a wrap, side of shrimp, and a Bloody Mary. They were pretty good.

We LOVED every bit of our visit here! Our server was so wonderful! It was her last day of training and she was one of the best servers I’ve ever met. I think her name is Leah! She rocks. The food was awesome. We had the oysters, Caesar salad with salmon (best dressing ever) Shrimp Po boy and the bbq pork sandwich. All fabulous. Dog friendly on the patio ? Yep! Huge bonus. Little tiny concrete splash pad outside for the kids? Even better. Every single staff member was kind to us. What a great night. Thank you. Y’all are doing it right.

Absolutely amazing vibe, service and atmosphere! Food was absolutely amazing! Happy hour totally worth it! The Sunday market was amazing! Got to meet the owners, they were absolutely friendly! Would highly recommend! For sure will return

Probably the worst service I've ever experienced in 20 years. So many people work there but no one could be bothered to seat us, give out menus, or bus the table we were at. The food was either cold or over cooked. The bartender was so rude and chatted with other staff all night. She told us to go inside and get the menu ourselves. *Worse thing was we sat at a table that was dirty(they all were) no one cleared the dirty glasses the entire time. When I asked a staff to, they said they had no idea about the glasses... Just an awful experience.

Thank goodness for the water dog. We just moved here a few months ago and have been struggling to find some consistent tasty places to eat and have been disappointed with last few options, but this place delivered. We were seated right away on a Sunday afternoon. Really enjoyed the vibe. Service was really good and we picked our meals based on our servers recommendations. We tried the chicken Philly with the normal fries and blacked shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. We honestly enjoyed everything. The fries with the additional of cheese and the seasoning on them was great. Sweet potatoes were nice and crunchy and with a side of honey to dip made them perfect. Both the sandwich and tacos had great flavor. We shared between the two meals and it was hard to decide at times which we liked more since they both were very good. We’re definitely excited to go again and try some other bites that caught our eye
