We lived in that city for 2.5 years, and went out of our way to try everything, but that one seems to have slipped past us. I remember some random coffee house on the water downtown, Jazz Street Grill was our second home on Friday nights, but no Cavalier. Not sure how that happened.NotAJerry wrote:It's very out of the way for the LU college crowd.

Texas Inn to open new location in Cornerstonehttp://www2.newsadvance.com/news/2012/a ... r-2123583/

Texas Inn is opening another retaurant in Lynchburg: the new one will be off of Greenview in the new Cornerstone housing/business development.
Fans of the Texas Inn’s famed Cheesy Western soon will have an additional location to get their fix.
The landmark restaurant that’s been a Lynchburg institution on Main Street since the mid 1930s will serve customers its trademark fare at a new storefront inside the Cornerstone development off Greenview Drive.
The latest Texas Inn is the first restaurant under construction at the mixed-use project that includes a park, commercial space and hundreds of condos, townhouses and single-family homes.
Plans for commercial development have gotten off to a slow start since the neighborhood opened in 2008. Developers originally hoped the commercial side of the project would encompass the four blocks along its main entrance, but opted last year to include more residential housing in the area rather than just mixed-use buildings.
With a foundation already laid for the new Texas Inn, Cornerstone resident David Schinkle said he’s pleased to see signs of commercial progress in the neighborhood.
“It’s kind of a staple in Lynchburg,” said Schinkle, of the well-known eatery. “More restaurants could bolster the community. I’m excited about the growth.”
Eddie Eagle, owner of the Texas Inn, said this week that he preferred not to comment until more details about the new location are ironed out.
