"Even though it was Mother's Day, Neighbors honored my reservation and there was tremendous pressure from lots of customers wanting their delicious buffet meal that day. The person at the front was extremely professional and polite under the pressure of the day and our waiter was gracious. This is one of the top resturants in Lynchburg,Va."

"Went there for Mothers Day and had a pretty good experience. Tried to get in after church and the place was just too busy so we settled for dinner there instead. Food was good (not as good as usual) service lacked remembering what we needed. All in all this is my favorite restaurant in Lynchburg. I will blame it on Mothers Day and being too busy. I will def. go back."

"This is a popular and very busy larger restaurant on the west side of Lynchburg with a diverse menu. We had to wait 30 min. past our OpenTable reservation, so their management of reservations is not ideal. Food quality is always good and everyone should be able to find something to appeal to them. The addition of local Apocolypse Brewery beers on tap is a plus."

"We have been there many times. The food, service, special occasion's or anytime have always been a 5 star if not more experience. We booked my husband's 70th birthday and "sweet heart"day there just last week.
We can always count on "excellent" anytime at The Neighbor's Place :)
Glad to be able to give you a glowing review! See you again soon!!
Thank you,
Dr. Dan and Nancy Mitchell"

"The experience and the food we had at The Neighbors place was amazing. They have a great selection of food and their service was superb. I would recommend any one of their main dishes including their sandwich selection. We had a great night and it would not have been complete without enjoying some great food and good times at The Neighbors Place!"

"I tried to make a reservation within 5 minutes of 7pm, so the app would let me do that. No big deal, I picked 7:30. We waited and people without reservations were seated before us. It seemed that the hostess was waiting until 7:30 to seat us. Not happy about that. Why not seat us? We're there waiting."
