Hippo's - Lynchburg

This place is amazing and a fresh taste to a boring restaurant scene in Lynchburg. Everything is fresh and made to order!! Me and my wife went in yesterday to check it out, and left stuffed like a Hippo lol. I had the steak and green bean sandwich and she had the steak sandwich. They use ciabatta bread which was absolutely soft as clouds. You might be thinking that steak and green bean, that sounds odd but it was delicious!! We had sweet tea that was made that day and not overly sweet. Yes everyplace has sweet tea, but not this good. We topped it off with some cheesecake that was melt in your mouth. The owner came over and asked us how everything was but I couldn't stop eating lol.. I asked about the Hippo sandwiches and he brought us one out. Super light flaky crust that was handmade and not frozen. We can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu, I have a feeling that I will not be disappointed!! If I could give more stars I would!! You have to go try this place, they won't let you down!!

Everything I tried, was amazing! Started with the cheese, tomato and onion empanada; 'a Hippo '. Perfection. And the steak and green bean sandwich... WOW! From the marshmallow-soft bread to the hint of cilantro shining through, it was simply awesome and left me wanting another! And, the cheesecake. Ya gotta have the cheesecake. Rich flavor but not heavy. Fresh-made daily and never frozen, I was told. The atmosphere was very cozy and homey. It had a cabin retreat kind of vibe. Loved the wood accents and tables. I recommend this lil ' place, highly. I heard Saturdays have been very busy, so keep that in mind. I came around 3pm on a Monday and almost had the place to myself.

Great service, extremely friendly staff who are eager to please. The food is beyond incredible. The steak and green beans sandwhich is top notch! I highly recommend this place!

Hands down...the best salsa, empanadas, and sweet tea in Lynchburg!!! And the cookies and cheese cake are second to none...run, don't walk. The owners were so warm and attentive, it felt like we were in their home. I cannot rate this place high enough! Thank you for such a GREAT little spot!

Had a bit of a layover while my car was being serviced down the road. Stopped in for lunch and we we're immediately greeted by the owners who are friendly and genuinely glad to have you come in. We all had a sandwiches, chicken salad with cranberries, steak and cheese, and the steak and green bean. My husband was completely bowled over by the steak and green bean sandwich! My son and I also thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and their homemade salsa is on point! Finished off with some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had! We are all still talking about the food and wonderful service and conversation. Thanks for making us feel at home!!!
