Went there for lunch and had the sicilian. It was delicious. As usual with any new restaurant they had some computer issues when i was there but an overall quality experience. I will be back.

Moving...

Just wanted to inform my FlameFans Family about Arosto moving.

We have been at that location for over 2 years and while sales are good, they are not great , and though I love the Wards Road area, I'm like many locals in Lynchburg and choose to not go to that area unless I absolutely have too. We are moving this location to Forest, next to the New Walmart being built in a shopping center yet to be named.

We didn't have to move, but are in a unique position, as our ownership group also owns both shopping centers, and we were approached about our space and then have the ability to be an anchor in the new space in Forest. Just made a lot of sense to us.

I'm sure we will lose some student traffic, but hope you guys will still support us when you are out in the Forest area.

Best of luck!

We'll actually enjoy you guys being closer to home for us.

Any timetable as to when that Walmart and shopping center will be complete? Also, what's moving in across the road in those stand-alones?

Any idea what will move in the Wards Road location once Arosto moves?

Thanks Guys. We hope that most people will be happy with move...

Wall-Mart should be open by Spring, and we hope to be open by summer. Hope to break ground soon.

I do know what's going in there, but can't say anything until they announce it. I can say it will be another restaurant and a national brand. Also they will be solving what we felt was a big problem for us - they will be continuing the parking lot around the building so it won't dead end.

That's good news as I always saw access to the parking lot as one of the big issues.

Look forward to having you guys up here in Forest.

I heard through the grapevine that it was going to potentially be one place, but is going to be something else instead. If so, I am very disappointed. :(

You'll notice Jimmy Johns ads only promote their speed.

I prefer all the other sub places over Jimmy John's. Of course, my wife loves Jimmy John's. My order of preference:

Jersey Mike's
Publix
Firehouse
Sheetz
Quiznos
Subway



Jimmy John's

My wife's a huge fan of Firehouse. I've personally wanted to try Jimmy John's but I cant find a meatball sub on their menu (one of my favorites)

Jimmy John's doesn't do whole chicken breasts or meatballs or things like that. Straight cold cuts, as I recall.
