Food scene
If you are looking for a unique vibe with exceptional food, Grey's is the place. Their fried chicken is to die for, but they always have different specials to choose from. This is easily my favorite restaurant in Lynchburg and easily the most popular Sunday brunch spot. Just be mindful of their hours and try to make a reservation when you can.

Bootleggers is another fun downtown spot that has all different types of burgers. My favorite is to choose the bunless option because they put it on a huge salad! It is also right off the bluff walk, so you can get in an evening stroll after dinner!
