My parents, daughter, boyfriend came here to eat after searching for the closest place to our…read moreAirBnb. We had a packed day of activities and were exhausted and starving. We drove in at around 7pm and perused their small and simple menu. Server checked in on us twice and with 5 of us, we did take some extra time in deciding. Once we finally decided, that was when the server announced that all chicken and brisket were out. At a BBQ place, being out of brisket is blasphemous, even if you had an event earlier. But also, super disappointed in the server for not telling us initially when handing us our menus! She could've saved us 15min! After we put in our edited orders, every 6 min or so, someone would come out from the kitchen to tell us that collared greens were also out and yet another item. We probably had to wait 45min for our first entree to come out and it was wrong. I had ordered a turkey club sandwich but was served 2 pieces of smoke turkey. My mom's order of pulled pork didn't come out until almost an hour and they got her sides wrong. My mom was also the hungriest out of all of us and I felt so bad. My daughter's kid's meal had the go-gurt out but no replacement offered. The staff was nice but they got the majority of our sides and entrees wrong with the added enormity of the wait. But let's get to the food itself--quality is very good! The pulled pork was the best I've ever tried. Every other pulled pork dish seemed so processed and smushy and drenched in sauce. Their ribs only seemed okay though; my dad found them a bit dry and too blackened but not enough meat on them. Their fries were double fried or something so they were so crunchy and seasoned and delicious. My parents didn't like their coleslaw but I thought their potato salad was not bad. Their side salad minus the cheese was simple but pretty good and refreshing! Love the seasoning! The experience was not great and I would not recommend this place but at least the food and portions were not a disappointment. No one else mentioned this but they also have bible verses everywhere as well as in the sign! Probably to be expected for being in West Virginia but an instant ick factor for me personally. For all the outages, long wait times and getting our orders wrong, this place did not offer any kind of discount so to me, that's pretty unChristian-like... The dessert counter looked great but there were no labels or price tags.

The food was about on par with what you would find at a traditional Mexican restaurant in this part of the country. I ended up ordering the Camarones al a Diabla, and they were pretty decent. The sauce was nicely flavored, though there was less of it than I expected. The balance of shrimp and other sides was good, and the portion wasn't over the top. Overall, a pretty good meal. In terms of the vibe, I would say it's very Mexican. The television in the bar was set to a Spanish language channel. I was able to communicate just fine, but there was a bit of a language barrier with the bar tender. Not a problem. I actually view that as a sign of authenticity. I'll also note that they seemed a little short-staffed on the night I showed up. Everyone was extremely busy, so service was a little slow but still attentive. Everyone there was trying their best to keep up. All told, I would recommend this place. Not an over the top dining experience, but it was very clearly a locally owned place with a good vibe and lots of character.

Omelet Shoppe - A Little Slice of Road-Trip Americana…read more There isn't much in Beckley when it comes to very early breakfast before hiking New River Gorge NP, so we picked Omelet Shoppe mostly because it was a few blocks from the hotel and, honestly, how wrong can you go with eggs and bacon? Turns out: wonderfully right. This diner is pure road-trip gold, the kind of place where time slows down just enough for the coffee to taste better. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting locals with hugs, warm questions about their families, and the kind of genuine familiarity that makes you wonder if you've accidentally walked into a reunion. And somehow, they made us feel like we were long-lost regulars too. It was all very wholesome and slightly magical. The food was simple, satisfying, exactly what breakfast should be when you're about to climb, wander, and sweat your way through a national park. So good, in fact, that we came back every single morning. Because why mess with perfection? A true little gem, comforting, unpretentious, and warm in all the right ways.

Pros Quanity- My omelet, home fries, toast, and coffee were about $13, so very affordable for some greasy spoon- type breakfast. Cons Service- Our service was spotty, and not the warmest, but can be understandable. Taste- I may have gotten the wrong thing, but overall there wasn't a whole lot of flavor (until I added hot sauce...that helped). Speed- Came in about 8:30, and it was 1/4- 1/2 full, but still took about 35 minutes to get our food after ordering. Not the slowest, but could have been better. Overall could have been a worse experience, and if you are wanting some quick, simple, Waffle House- style food, this is a good place to check out!

The place is like a house turned into a restaurant and as best I could tell is run by Carol and her husband who both seemed a)like very nice people and b)like they knew how to cook a mean burger. I ordered a burger. It was made to order, of substantial weight, had a proper serving of bacon on it and came with a whole ton of piping hot fries. Incredible. It's like Carol had read my mind. The prices were notably low. The vibes were exceptionally quaint. The burger was all you could ever ask for. If I'm ever back in this area there is no question about it...I'm going back to Carol's for a 2nd round. Excellent service, as local as it gets, good prices and good food. What else can you ask for?

Yummi Japan is our go-to choice for sushi in Beckley. We always call it "the place with the bridge"…read morebecause they have a large scale model of the New River Gorge bridge as decor. The service is walk up and order, then they drop it off at your table. They have big, deep, wooden booths and tables. The place is nice and clean, though the toilets seemed a bit "overburdened" not sure what was happening there. The rolls I have gotten have all been tasty, basic rolls you find all over the US. The Lover Roll tasted nice and fresh, if a tad bland. In addition to sushi, they have rice bowls, and some Chinese food entrees. I got son a Yummi chicken bowl and a Crazy Tuna roll to go.
