JD’s catering for our event was outstanding! Everyone raved about the food and service. Best in Lynchburg. They went above and beyond

Best Reuben I’ve had in years! They also serve a really good Philly cheesesteak. Their famed barbecue sandwiches? A little too sweet for me. Overall it’s a fantastic place for lunch out even dinner.
