A Sea Of Red

Is this place open? Is it ever going to open? I've seen nothing on here about it.

its opening in may from what i heard. they keep pushing it back. classic lu construction

I know at least some staff has already been hired, so things are moving in the right direction.

Perhaps they'll have it open before the students head home.

From what I've heard, it will open soon (the 24th, maybe) & then close for the summer once the semester ends, then reopen in the fall when the students come back...

why not just wait until next semester? Who would work there for just a few weeks?

Here's to hoping it gets lots of business around graduation time.

I'm not sure...just going off of what I've heard. Of course, those plans are subject to change without notice

The diner, which is named after the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, is scheduled to open exclusively to LU students from April 24 to May 8. It will be closed for the summer before opening to the public on Aug. 14...the menu is “a cross-section between IHOP, Cracker Barrel and Bob Evans, with some more contemporary items like chicken tenders, quesadillas – things students should like as well.”

And reading the menu itself should be entertaining, he said. There are numerous “Liberty-isms,” such as the “Champion Favorite” breakfast and “Liberty Mountain Waffles” and “Spirit of the Mountain” fries. There’s also “The ’71 Burger” and “The ’71 Dog.” Then there’s “The Elmer Float” (for LU cofounder Dr. Elmer Towns) and “Macel’s Hot Apple Pie” (for Macel Falwell, wife of the late Dr. Falwell). And, of course, there’s “Doc’s Country-Fried Breakfast,” featuring two eggs, grits, country gravy, buttermilk biscuits, fried apples or hash browns, and country fried steak, and “Doc’s Favorite” dessert (creamy banana pudding served with vanilla wafers, banana slices and whipped cream).

ahem.........I'm just saying....

Why does it say "exclusively" to students. Can't anyone eat there. I'm sure Alumni would love to stop by for an Elmer Float.

No, it clearly says that only students can eat there April 24 to May 8. And then it's open to everyone else in August.

Perhaps HMO should take over construction at LU.

Oh good. I'll definitely want to stop by next year.

Food is pretty good for LU dinning. I had a open face roast beef sandwich it was really good

Anybody else dined there yet? I am looking for specific reviews of menu items.

ive eaten there a few times now. Its pretty slow, and very obvious this is the first waiting job for most of the waiters. The food is very decent. Ive had the ribeye, the BHAG philly steak and cheese, and the chicken tenders, all three were great. THe milkshakes need some work though, they come out just a little thicker than chocolate milk.

Hasnt been posted on here yet, but they have Doc's Denali parked out front and the horn goes off every now and then. A few days ago someone had put a parking ticket on it which was pretty great

i need to go check that place out...

There's a whole Facebook group devoted to catching the person who keyed the Denali. I guess your post explains where it has been parked.

For the record I was rolling my eyes at the "Classic LU Construction" comment

people doing things to other people's cars burns me to no end. I really think that these people need to be sent to PMITA prison for a week. No joke.

How about posting a few pictures of the place.

Does that mean what I think it means?

"Well it doesn't mean white-collar resort prison."
