I sat at the bar to order something to go and was greeted by a woman who clearly hated her life. She was irritated by my questions (such as vegetables that were not on the menu but on a board in the corner of the room, and what the soup was for the day), and stood there with a notepad staring at me until I just rush ordered something to be relieved of her hostile energy. In the end the food and service were nothing to write home about.

I ordered my eggs over medium and they were cooked just right. I also had homefries (declined the gravy that was offered) and sausage patty with toast of my choice and a black coffee. The inside of the restaurant holds 7 extra-wide tables for 4 (but you could stick a 5th at the end, if needed. They also have 2 booths and one large round table seating 6 to 8 people and a small counter of maybe 3 or 4 stools. All and all, I'd definitely go back. Breakfast was good as was the service. The waitstaff was attentive and even offered to give me a coffee to go. I thought that was a nice touch and their prices are competitive. Please note: They do not accept credit or debit cards so be prepared to bring cash along with you. Also, don't GPS the address listed on their facebook page, It'll bring you to a street off Tallsmanville Road. Just take a look at the attached picture for directions.

Sept, 2025. Yokum's has a Grill and adjacent General Store, at the intersection of routes 33, 28,…read moreand 55 in Seneca Rocks, WV. Seneca Rocks is in the mountains, and attracts a variety of outdoor enthusiasts, including hikers, rock climbers, fishermen, campers, motorcyclists, and more. And, Yokum's, in business since 1923, and with a family history in the area since the 1830s, is THE hot spot to feed and supply visitors to this beautiful area. It's a casual and reasonably-priced kind of place with historical charm; there's a constant flow of visitors. The General Store offers pretty much anything you would need for a trip to the mountains -- from coonskin hats, to firewood, ice, pantry items, drinks, snacks, and West Virginia souvenirs (including t-shirts, refrigerator magnets, jams and jellies, and so much more). The Grill offers breakfast items (breakfast burritos, bagels, muffins), as well as typical grill items -- burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, pizza, wraps, etc. Of particular note, they've been named as having the state's "2nd best West Virginia-style hot dogs" on the "50 best hot dog trail." The Grill offers both indoor and a few covered front porch tables. We had, however, visited Yokum's for two very specific reasons -- (1) we had just hiked the Seneca Rocks Trail, and wanted to reward ourselves with ice cream! On that note, we found a freezer with all sorts of ice cream treats in the General Store. My husband opted for a pint of Hershey's Cappuccino Crunch premium ice cream. (We had a freezer for the unconsumed portion!), while I chose a Dove ice cream bar. We later realized that, based on reviews on Yelp, the Grill *might* have offered hand-scooped cones but we hadn't checked. (2) we heard that Yokum's has Wi-Fi, a luxury that wasn't available in the National Recreation Area nor anywhere else for at least ten miles. We were able to sit at one of the indoor tables near the Grill, enjoying our ice creams while utilizing the free wi-fi to send a few texts and to plug in some maps for the next leg of our journey. Also worth noting is that Yokum's has an excellent view of the Seneca Rocks rock formation, is in close proximity to the entrances for the Seneca Rocks Visitors Center and the main hiking trail, has easy access off nearby roads and sufficient free parking, offers a clean restroom, and has some large outdoor signs describing local outdoor attractions. Staff were efficient and friendly enough. Yokum's also runs Yokum's Vacationland, offering a variety of accommodations including cabins, bunkhouses, teepees, a motel, and a campground., as well as Yokum's Stables. We didn't visit either.

So much depth of flavor and a nice way to warm up after cross country skiing. Food comes out fast, as they know how to cook for a crowd. The nachos were also nice, topped with their chili and some greens on top for a nice freshness. It can be very busy and overwhelming, so not a place to hang around or relax, but food is worth the wait in the long line.

Ordered two eggs over easy with corned beef hash, home fries, and rye toast. Plus coffee and water. I attempted to order their sausage gravy over a biscuit as part of my order - but I was informed that they were out of sausage gravy. The place is not large on the inside - it was fairly busy during my visit. Food came out in about 15 minutes. Typical diner grade fare. One egg was cooked properly, the second, they had broken the yolk, The corned beef hash is the canned variety. I should have asked for them to crisp up the hash - but I forgot. I like that they buttered the toast for you. Some diners don't - and then you are trying to scrape butter across toast that has cooled off. Coffee was good, Service was good, I did not notice an option for digital payment - so I paid with cash.

There's even a historical marker about it just a block away from the diner. The Down Home Diner has won some awards, including for their buckwheat cakes. It's basically your small-town diner where there are lots of seniors (most of whom I assume are regulars) and it is small. Which is fine! Service was great and, of course, I had the AYCE buckwheat cakes. This was my first time tasting such thing. They were all great that I walked out stuffed. Be sure to check the hours of the diner - the lady working there told me they used to have longer hours and they used to be open during suppertime, but they couldn't find reliable help. I hope that changes!
