    One of the best pitas I've ever had
    Rob B.

    I was in the mountains recently installing a mini-split system at a friend's cabin and on the way back he asked me if I'd like to stop in Elkins and get some food, his treat. So I picked this place. I had been here a couple times before but it had been years ago yet I remembered it being really good and the atmosphere being very cool so we stopped in for a bite to eat before heading back home. We sat in the bar area and it happened to be a night where live music was being played and that was an added bonus. I can't remember the two guys group that was playing, but they were very good. My friend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the veggie wrap with fries. He is an old school Italian and he said the pasta and meatballs were very good. I ordered the veggie wrap and fries and it was incredible. I enjoyed each and every bite of it. I also ordered a Big Timber Blonde(2 since the wait was long) which always hits the spot. I will say that the food took forever to arrive. 45 minutes which is unacceptable, but the waitress was great and she kept telling us that she was so sorry and that they were short staffed. Needless to say if not for that this place easily gets five stars on this visit. The whole vibe of this place from inside to out is great and I look forward to stopping by again in the fall or winter months while exploring the leaves and/or the ski slopes in close proximity. Enjoy!

    Wife and I were in town for the festival we thought it started on Sat but ended up it really didn't start until Sun. So we walked around town and in most of the store front there were dresses and gowns of the girls that won each year. So we just wanted something light we decided to give this place a try, we sat at the bar. Which has a really nice brass rail around the bar, the bar is really large. I just had mellow yellow and wife had tea, and for food we shared the chicken tenders and onion petals they called them onion slices. The order came out and it was just frozen chicken tenders and from the look of the onion petals they were frozen also. We didn't get to see any other meals people had everyone sitting at the bar wasn't eating. They should be making their own chicken fingers so much better tasting and the price cost they would save so much money and on top of that they would sell so much more, they could do the same with the onions. If ever back in town we would stop in and give it a try. The building is very old if only the walls could talk or show a video of back in time.

    Buffalo Crack

    Beander's was no less than excellent. Coming from someone who makes chicken dips once a week, Buffalo Crack lived up to it's name. $8.00 burger was top notch. Amazing service. We appreciated the extra pickles and the to-go diet cokes. Thank you Kara!

    Mini basket full of fries with buffalo chicken sandwich

    Consistent and well-executed bar food in Elkins downtown. There isn't anything over the top in the menu, but Beanders does a really nice job with the classics. Their fries have a dusting of flour (so not Gluten free friendly) but they are light and crisp. Their buffalo chicken sandwich is heavenly with a perfect mix of spice, tart and dressing to cool it down. I'm taking off a star because service is often slow (but always friendly!). It's not a place to get in and out quickly, but a place to hang around for a while.

    We stopped in this afternoon for some delicious appetizers. 5 stars for service. Thanks for retrieving my phone.

    Mediocre pub food served at a glacial pace. If you want to carbo load, slowly, this is the place for you.

I am a pescatarian athend the menu had some interesting fish and seafood items. I got there on a weekday during happy hour and sat at the bar. Since it was half off for happy hour I started with the Smoked Trout Dip which was one of the items I really wanted to try. The dip came out really quickly and was a very nice looking plate, crostini and cucumber slices were nicely arranged around the scoop of dip covered with crushed nuts. The dip was decent, although flavors were a bit muted; I was hoping for more of the smoke flavor and having the trout make a bigger impact. Not bad, but not an item I would order again. Next up I tried the Smoked Salmon Poutine. A good sized portion of sweet potato fries topped with a generous amount of house smoked salmon, feta cheese and creme fraiche sauce. All of the ingredients were high quality and well prepared, however the dish didn't quite land as poutine since all of the elements other than the fries were served cold which muted the flavors and meant that the cheese didn't melt. This dish missed all of the hardiness and warmth that I associate with poutine. I came to Smoke on the Water hoping for big flavors and while the food was good and they used quality ingredients I just found the flavors to be a bit mild an underwhelming for me. A bit of a disappointment, of course your experience may vary, especially if you are having the actual BBQ.

The girl on the phone was really nice and offered to remake the sandwich, and which they did, tho I was kinda set back whenever she asked if I could just eat the steak instead of the chicken....like what lmao. And whenever I got there, they just kinda tossed it at me like I was being a massive inconvenience to them. Didn't even get my drink that I ordered or was offered by them as an apology for messing up my order. Honestly made me feel so stupid and anxious over a sandwich....I know this won't matter, but I don't think I'll be ordering from here again. That was some shitty customer service overall, dude Couldnt imagine treating a customer like that to their face...I would've at least said sorry for the mess up.

The menu seems to be all over the place. I wouldn't call the cuisine any particular genre since there were items that categorically fall under "Mediterranean" as well as "Asian-fusion". Two things in particular that didn't make sense to me. The tofu on the Mediterranean bowl. Tofu marinated in soy sauce is not what comes to mind when I'm thinking of any country in the Mediterranean. Also, the tasting menu has an option for an entree choice of veal shank. I was informed there would be an upcharge since it's a pricier menu item, which is totally acceptable. What I was not prepared for was a giant cut of meat (it had to have been 10oz or more) with a huge bone still attached. The portion did not fit with a tasting menu. Luckily, my husband has the appetite of a small horse so he finished it.
