Texas Inn

Two words... cheesy western! You haven't experienced Lynchburg until you've bitten into one of these hamburger/fried egg combinations! Fantastic choice if you're up late studying at 1am and suddenly realize you're starving. A sign on the wall says they serve 500 people...15 at a time. If the bar stools are full, just stand at the back wall for 5 minutes and a seat is bound to open up! It's an unwritten code. If the western isn't your cup of tea (at the Tearoom>>Lynchburg's nickname for the place), then go for the chili dog or a bowl of chili. Everything is made front and center. Be ready with cash... no credit cards here.
