Best Burger I've had in Lynchburg. Got the double cheese burger and it was cooked perfectly and not to greasy. Service was great. Defintley recommend.
TL/DR: This is MUST stop to have something good and uniquely Lynchburg. To say ordering the fries is an amazing thing might be funny other places but... it's all that.Why My Rating?Group Size: We typically come in with 4-8 people with us. Sometimes we have to wait. Seating is limited but it is the place. There are two counters you can sit at and be served as well. It is worth it.Food: Fries. No... literally, a large basket of fries is worth the drive across town. The seasoning, the ranch, it all plays a part. On top of that, all of the food is simple and excellent. It isn't fancy but it is great.Location: On Rivermont Ave. It is an unassuming building that you might pass if you aren't looking. You'll have to park on the side of the street prior to or just after the restaurant. Be careful of the bicycle lane.Staff: Wells Duffy, the owner has owned this for a long time and still is part of the team serving. He was doing that when I was 16 and... well my middle child is 16 now. So... We have ALWAYS had great service here. We love the Cavalier team.Atmosphere: From the license plates on the ceiling to the random pictures to the team pennants, there is a lot to see. The tables have been carved for decades. A restaurant by day and a local bar at night, the Cavalier is truly an unique Lynchburg gemCleanliness: The restaurant is always clean enough. Each table has carvings in it, it is a 100+ year old building. The restrooms are really tiny (like "Hey, you have to see this!" tiny). It's always been clean enough.Prices: Very reasonable.Will We Come Back: Yes, 100% (and I have been for more than 30 years.)
Food was delicious as usual. Jason did an awesome job serving us! Always a good time and good experience. Iconic place in Lynchburg, VA
Best bar food in town! Have been going to this place for 30 years. Burgers are great and ice cold beers or dr peppers will make your day! Always get the seasoned fries with ranch! Enjoy!
Just visited The Cavalier a few days ago and it gets five stars from me due to good food and great service. My table of four was served by Jason and Evan, who are absolute rockstars. They took care of our table, the other tables in the restaurant, tended the bar, and even hopped on the cash register, all at the same time. They're masters of the art, all while keeping the environment super cool. Highly recommended!
First off, The Cavalier is CASH ONLY. They have an atm on site but save yourself a transaction fee and come prepared.When you want a good burger and fries there is no substitute for the Cav. They don’t have to jazz up their burger with a bunch of wild topping combinations, instead keeping it simple and still delivering great flavor. The humble LTM is all you need.I’ve had most of the sides, which are good, but the fries are on another level. Wedges are usually mostly a miss for me but these are cooked to perfection. Ranch and seasoning is a must!
I really liked the Cavalier store on 2920 Rivermont Avenue in Lynchburg!Tried the Cavalier cheeseburger for my first try, it was great. Wasn’t cooked how I requested medium well but still great. I loved the brand of pickles they’re using, their brand has got the perfect crunch. I tried a hot dog too, it was good. Loved the sauerkraut.Service was great, my waiter earned a decent tip. He was very smiley and seemed happy to serve us. He also carried on a bit of a conversation even being as busy as he was. There was another guy with a beard, he said he was a bartender. He was friendly too and chatted. I told the bartender I know I probably talk to much, he said “it’s fine, you seem like a really cool person”. That was a very nice thing to say!I’ll come again, I’ll probably bring family and the kiddos. Parking isn’t the greatest but you can park up the street and walk down.
The cavalier burger is the best!! Our server was great today, and we didn’t have to wait at all for our meal. We had food in front of us within 12 minutes of sitting down! Cool vibe and chill atmosphere.
Best burger in town!
Been going here for years and hope to continue for years to come! Great food and service! Make sure to bring cash!!
