I ordered the eggs benedict and it was the worst I've ever had. For $13, I received a soggy biscuit topped with two tiny eggs, a few ham slices, and a low-quality hollandaise sauce. I think they offer too many menu options, with a regular menu, brunch menu, and 2-3 specials. It would be better to have fewer choices of higher quality. I understand that staffing may be a challenge, and I hope my experience was just a one-time issue. I hope they can improve their once excellent reputation for great food.

Only order the items they suggest. This time I ordered something else (Philly cheesesteak) and it wasn't great. One item is they don't have a hostess monitoring the door so you may wait a little while until someone comes. Love the atmosphere, wait staff is nice and attentive.

The food, service, and atmosphere is still as wonderful now as it was back then! The menu choices are varied and offer something for everyone. The food was beautifully presented, generous, and delicious! It's been a local favorite for generations and rightfully so.

She was attentive and kind, even taking the time to chat with us about the tough time my family is going through. To top it all off, she surprised me with a birthday dessert complete with a candle, all on the house. A big thank you to the Briar Patch team, especially Sarah, for making my difficult birthday feel special.

This local restaurant has friendly staff, a good selection of simple food, a family atmosphere, and decent portions and prices. You may not find dairy alternatives for your coffee here but the Derby Pie isscrumptious. They do have gluten free brownies. Have been a customer for more than 5 years.

We live in Lynchburg and wanted to venture out a little bit. By far the majority of the responses said BriarPatch! We decided to head over early Saturday evening to beat the crowds and there were plenty of tables still available at4:45pm. It had almost filled completely when we left at 5:45pm. We were seated promptly, and a lovely server named Sarah greetedus and told us about the menu and popular items. The menu is huge, something for everyone. My husband decided on Pan SearedChicken Livers, Mac and cheese and Greek salad. (See photos It was all fantastic!!! Huge portions, cooked and seasonedperfectly. He was in heaven! I decided on Pasta Primavera with Parmesan cream sauce. It was delicious, and another hugeportion. Thank goodness as I took 1/2 home for dinner tomorrow! Creamy, flavorful with fresh veggies!!! (The photo does notshow all the gorgeous vegetables that were tucked under the creamy pasta! For dessert we had Bread pudding with vanilla sauceand it may be the best I?ve ever had!!! Another large serving, I took 1/2 home for tomorrow! My husband had the Derby Pie withice cream and he ate and loved every bite. Our server Sarah was so precious, helpful, efficient and met every need before wecould ask. Bravo!!! Will request her area when we return. The prices are VERY reasonable, worth every penny. Totally worth thedrive from Lynchburg. 5 stars for SURE. ??????????

The seafood I ordered was fantastic! The atmosphere was enjoyable, complemented by a live singer playing guitar at the bar. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We'll definitely be returning for more!

She really enjoyed her Pasta Primavera and raved about the bread pudding for dessert, claiming it's the best she's ever had. As for me, I tried the pan-seared chicken livers (someone has to appreciate them!). I also ordered the most delicious Greek salad and their macaroni and cheese. Since my wife was set on having dessert, I couldn't resist indulging in the famous Briar Patch Derby Pie, complete with ice cream, of course! We had an amazing time, and our server Sarah was outstanding. We can't wait to return soon!

The country potatoes were fantastic, but the Bourbon Street omelette was quite bland. Some of the onions and peppers were burnt, giving certain bites a bitter taste, and it definitely needed more seasoning. I've heard a lot of people rave about this place, but I'm not sure I understand the hype.

They have a diverse menu with plenty of options, including a fantastic steak dinner with two sides, a classic burger with fries, and a club sandwich. Plus, they now serve prime rib every day of the week, whereas it used to be available only on the weekends. Just a note, the restaurant closes on Sunday evenings after 2 PM and is closed all day on Mondays.
