The Water Dog - Lynchburg

Beautiful building and very clean area!! All the staff members interacted with me and were all very nice! I wasn?t sure what to get so I asked my waiter. He recommended the soft shell crab sandwich since it?s only available in May with a side of sweet potato fries. Absolutely incredible! Whole meal came out fast, hot, and fresh. Will be back!!

Very friendly, helpful, energized staff !!! Phenomenal ambience !!!!! Sitting comfortably warm outside after a hot day to a perfect night. Nearby glowing string-lit trees which seemed almost magical. Lightning, thunder, a little rain attributed to the wickedly electric vibe going on! My super fresh hot fries made me want to work here just to find out the recipe!!!! My piggy melt was crunchy a bit greasy but held chef crafted flavor!! Dipping it in my leftover ketchup for more of a grilled cheese/tomato soup vibe helped. The zombie dog hits with a great pineapple juice sweetness followed by that needed kick. The sweet tea is recommended if you like lemon flavored/Brisk type tasting tea.First time eating dining here I would super recommend the experience! Can 't wait to go again!!!

Waitress was very very kind, I loved the atmosphere of sitting outside, and overall had an amazing experience! The food was delicious and I will definitely be coming back again often! Very very good!

WD holds a special place in my heart for introducing me to an amazing IPA, Tropicannon. Most of my experience has been with the bar service and in that area they do a good job considering how busy they get I?ve eaten here a few times over the years and the food has always been pretty good. The crabby poppa w crab bisque soup is my go to. The only issue with eating there is the strong possibility of being seated near a loud table of people getting smashed, even during the day. This isn?t the water dog?s fault but it?s worth noting for newcomers

Thank goodness for the water dog. We just moved here a few months ago and have been struggling to find some consistent tasty places to eat and have been disappointed with last few options, but this place delivered. We were seated right away on a Sunday afternoon. Really enjoyed the vibe. Service was really good and we picked our meals based on our servers recommendations. We tried the chicken Philly with the normal fries and blacked shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. We honestly enjoyed everything. The fries with the additional of cheese and the seasoning on them was great. Sweet potatoes were nice and crunchy and with a side of honey to dip made them perfect. Both the sandwich and tacos had great flavor. We shared between the two meals and it was hard to decide at times which we liked more since they both were very good. We?re definitely excited to go again and try some other bites that caught our eye
