New Barbecue option in Lynchburg, Small Batch

Lynchburg barbecue lovers have a new option as of last November — this time in the less restaurant-rich area of Rivermont. Small Batch is making its presence in an old meat shop on Bedford Avenue, the same block as newly added Golf Park Coffee Co.

Texas natives nesting in the college town may find a familiar taste at Small Batch, as the head chef, who identified himself only as Waylon and “headmaster” brings a barbecue style that is native to his Texas origin.

“A melting pot of traditional and new” is how Waylon described the preparation of the meat. 

Small Batch allows orders for big parties and has accommodations for heavy traffic nights. In addition to their seven meat options and classic sides, they also have salads and gluten free options for their bready menu items.

The high contrast décor looks less like a barbecue pit and more like a modern restaurant. The theme is in the details with garage doors as windows and bottles as light fixtures. The look and feel differentiates it from other barbecue joints in Lynchburg.

Small batch is located on Bedford Avenue and is open seven days a week.
