Big Lick Tropical Grill - American restaurant in Lynchburg - 4001 Murray Pl, USA

A chill place for bite to eat. live music during Saturday night. It was not too crowded. I enjoyed the vibe. Their food was okay. I enjoyed our service though. She was very nice and she was helpful with deciding on our menu. I recommend their hush puppies if you are a fan of hush puppies like me. I could taste the onion and other spices. I have quite a few positive things to say about this place and it was worth the experience. I might come back for the convenience, but probably not because I’m craving something from their menu.

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.

I don't know what it is, but when I came here the vibes were OFF. Like, someone was about to get shot, off. I don't know if I'm being paranoid but I was too nervous to enjoy dinner. Haven't been back. Service was excellent and the food was decent. I jad a lot of trouble shelling my shrimp because I had erroneously expected it to come shelled, they replace it with a different dish and didn't charge for the shrimp, very compassionate. ❤️ Not sure why it felt like a mob front. I've heard good things about this place and usually I can see it's busy from the road, but when I went it was almost empty and it was not passing the vibe check.

Went for open mic night to see a friend perform. It was cool! Food was bar food quality. Had a good time. I asked for a couple of drinks they couldn’t really make but that was fine, I found something acceptable.

The best part of this experience was leaving. I got the Cajun pasta with steak and my husband got the sufside seafood platter..Pasta was cold steak very over cooked...platter fish was very mushy and shrimp was burned. Cheese fries as an appetizer was ok.. Drinks were decent..The only plus was our server, he was great, but we will not be returning.

My husband and I went and joined a group. The food was great. Lillian was fantastic. But the room was hot and I almost tripped several times going to and from the bathroom because it had a slope.

Band was great! Atmosphere great. Food not so much. We did just get burgers but, the meet itself was good. Real beef but I got the mushroom Swiss burger. I have never had a mushroom swiss that didn't have caramelized onions until now. The very small amount of mushrooms were topped with shredded lettuce, purple onion, tomato and pickles. That is not a mushroom Swiss burger. Hardees is a lot better.

Very disappointed in this place. We were visiting Lynchburg for my sons birthday, and decided on this place for dinner because of the live music. The food was not good, and the service was worse. In the waitresses defense she had a lot of tables by herself. However, we could not get much service at all and decided to leave instead of staying to listen to the band. If you’re just listening to music and not depending on a second drink or a good meal, then go ahead. Otherwise, choose somewhere else.
