"Overall the atmosphere is good, the live music is a nice touch. We ordered nachos, shrimp dinner with slaw, and jerk chicken. Our waitress provided good service, there was no wait time and the appearance of the restaurant is nice. There were no issues finding a parking spot. I did not care for the consistency of the shrimp. The batter was too heavy, you could not recognize one end of the shrimp from the other. The taste was okay once you got through the batter. The nachos and fries were tasty. The jerk chicken and rice were okay, but the chicken was a little dry. This was my first visit, so I would be willing to try again and order a different dish."

"Big Lick is a great place to eat! They have a really good menu. The food is always delicious! Even though your order may come out quickly, it's always hot and fresh!"

"Everything is always good all the time! Long time supporter of Big Lick and this time did not disappoint. Delicious Monte Cristo and loaded potato soup. Even had Lauryn Hill as my server and she was nice and fast! She handled a big party and tended to us and several others without skipping a beat. Had to share my support with Living in Lynchburg FB page."

"From the alligator, to the pasta, to the shrimp tacos, to jerk chicken everything was excellent. I was very surprised how how flavourful everything was with how reasonable the price was. Would definitely suggest. Our server was even new and did a great job."
