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

If you're in Lynchburg you have to put this bar on your list! Anywhere between 30 and 36 beers on tap, plus a full service bar! Also, if you're an oyster fan it's a 2 for 1. From 3-6 Monday thru Friday and all day Sunday they have oysters for $1 a piece. Great ambiance and terrific service. Mustn't miss!!

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!!!

Great service and even better food. The people are so nice and everyone is so down to earth. The wait time for the food was very shirt and everything is so fresh. If I could give a 6/5 I would.
