Jimbo's Place is an unpretentious sports bar in downtown Elkins. A colleague and I dropped in…read moreduring a recent work trip and were most impressed. I'd summarize Jimbo's menu as burgers, wings, and other chicken items. The menu isn't huge, but Jimbo's does they do WELL. I had a crispy chicken wrap and "chicken logs" (basically fried chicken bits in an egg roll wrap) and both were excellent. Prices for food and drink were reasonable. The draft list is decent with a mix of domestics and a few crafts from the local brewery. Service at the bar was top notch, atmosphere was great, and fellow patrons were most welcoming to a couple of out-of-towners. I will definitely be back!

"Whiskey, Wings, and Pool Sharks: A Local Survival Guide"…read more If you find yourself in Elkins craving good food, cold drinks, and a side of character, roll on down to Whiskey River. The place is pure West Virginia charm with just the right mix of country grit and friendly mischief. The food? Fantastic. The wings are sauced like somebody back there actually cares, and the burgers taste like they've seen a grill before, not a microwave. But be warned: the real action happens at the pool tables. You might think, "I'll shoot a quick game while I wait on my fries." Next thing you know, you're three games deep against a guy named Buck who swears he's "rusty" but just ran the table faster than you can say cue ball. That's when you realize the fries were ready 20 minutes ago -- and you've just been hustled out of your dignity (and maybe a round of shots). Pro tip: If someone offers to "let you break," kindly decline and protect your pride. Order another beer, tip the bartender, and enjoy the show -- because watching the locals play pool here is better entertainment than half the stuff on TV. Whiskey River is one of those rare places where the food's hot, the folks are real, and the laughter's louder than the jukebox. Just remember: eat first, then play pool. You'll thank me later.

Very pleasant atmosphere, patrons, and staff. I always look forward to the next visit.read more

For the bar, not the hotel (didn't stay)…read more This place is a magical little grotto tucked away in a magical little mountain town. One of the coolest bar tenders - expert at the craft, and filled with energy. Feels like he really wanted me to enjoy myself, which is just a lost art in hosting / hospitality. The food was excellent, if a bit humble. It will feed ya. It will taste and look great. There will only be a few options on at a time. It will not me some giant platter, or some rare cut. But it will be expertly planned and prepared. The flavors were perfect. The presentation was beautiful. And I did not expect most of the dishes to be foreign or fusion! The chef, truly is someone special. It is, somehow, exactly the imaginary new American foodie place I imagine in my dreams. The ideal or the prototypical. Deeply aesthetic, with the lights and decor. And not understated, or clinical, which is hard to pull off. It definitely has a vibe, feeling intimate and lived in, while still being clean and pleasing. Cute garden out back for a few parties to enjoy the open air and the pleasing greenery.

WHAT A MEAL!! Who would have thought there was such a great restaurant in the middle of Elkins, WV…read more When I ordered to-go from the bar, the locals said there were no bad choices on the menu. Beautiful area to have a drink. Ordered the meatloaf with green bean almandine and potato purée and cinnamon Apple streusel cheesecake for dessert. Meatloaf tasted like Mom used to make. Slices were so moist and thick I didn't even finish one. Green bean almandine was seasoned to perfection. Potato purée was smooth with the right amounts or cheese blended in. Only words I can use to explain the cheesecake is absolutely delicious. . .crispy crust with the perfect amount of sweetness. Wish I had a cooler with me to take the leftovers home. Prices were very reasonable. Will eat here next time I'm passing thru!

We were there on a Friday night for two hours, and there was maybe four tables there the whole time we were there service isn't bad. They're just very slow. The pulled pork eggrolls were very tasty. The house made, honey mustard for dipping was the best part. The $6 bread service, which is four tiny pieces of dried out focaccia and a DIY olive oil basic dipping experience was not worth it. Defiantly pass. We had two bakers at the table and everyone agreed it wasn't well made focaccia. The house salad is beautiful. It had red peppers in it which was a nice take, and everything in it felt very fresh. The house made ranch was delicious. My ribeye was cooked to the temp I requested but it should come with some sort of sauce or garnish. Instead of having classic mashed potatoes on the menu, they have some sort of potato purée. I was not the only one that got it with their meal one complained it was too salty, I thought it was too sweet. all around, It seemed like it's over reaching to be fancy when your guest would prefer a classic mash. I did not taste the desert (I believe it was an apple strudel cheesecake ) but I was told it was good None of us drank, but there were good beer and cocktail options. I would go again if I were trying to stay in Elkins, but options in Elkins are very limited and this was definitely better than most of the other options in the area. I'm curious about some other things on the menu.

The ceprese skewers were good, the creamy baked potato soup had very good flavor, creamy, maybe in a little thick to call soup but perfect for me!

Now the buttermilk pie was delicious the caramel sauce drizzled over it almost like a cheesecake but different - very nice !

My wife and I had eaten one about seven years prior and it was delicious! I ordered the supreme pizza. I ended up getting sick from it about 3am in the morning. I suspected the mushrooms had gone bad from the look of them on the pizza. The following night I tried something totally different, the most expensive steak on the menu, the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley. It was $46. I ordered it medium rare. The steak was tough and way over seasoned. (Of poor quality) The mashed potatoes were powered potatoes with garlic salt/powder, and the vegetable medley was cooked down to mush. I ate one bite of each, dropped $60 on the table and left. I went to the front desk and asked when the resort manager would be in, which they said would be in the morning. I explained how poor quality the steak dinner was and ended up going to Mama Mias Italian Restaurant down the road. I got a call while at the restaurant from one of the resort front desk personnel telling me they retrieved my $60 and apologizing for my experience. When I came back to the resort I sought out the waitress who served me and gave her $20 as a tip. I told her the food quality was not her fault. The food at Canaan Valley Resort is of poor quality and poor preparation. They might be able to fool some West Virginians, but the international guests know better. It's certainly subpar. To have such a beautiful resort with picturesque scenery, you'd expect the cuisine to be high end. Not here.
