    Ribs

    my first yelp review. def don't come here and order anything except the fries and MAYBE pulled pork. We asked if coleslaw had a lot of mayo, girl said no, vinegar. Then it was actually more mayo than anything else. Cornbread = dry, the ribs needed a chainsaw to cut, mac and cheese was mush. Really wanted to like this place on our short weekend trip but I would not recommend. Attached a before/after of our ribs. Wouldn't be surprised if I threw up tonight from my 4 bites of ribs I did take lmaooo

    Brisket Sandwich

    This location used to be The Deerfield Restaurant and Pub. It was bought by a local guy, Matt Haverty, who grew up in the Canaan area; now a BBQ place. Son and I skiing at Timberline walked into the place a bit after 8pm. Only one family was inside eating and a young lady was cleaning and I asked if they were closed. She said getting ready to as they tend to close a little earlier in the winter due to slower business but she said we could order. We considered leaving but happy we stayed. I'm pretty picky on BBQ, but the brisket was amazing as were the smoked wings. They were very crispy. And the potato salad had quartered potatoes with eggs and was fantastic. The pork bbq was also delicious. We ordered at the bar and took a seat. Self serve fountain drinks and tea as well as grab your own utensils. This place did not disappoint. We may come back again while here for the next few days. I want to try the ribs. And the half chicken as that was sold out.

    Visited this place on Sunday for dinner around 5pm. They were out of almost all the sides, only fries left. Staff were a little inattentive but the food made up for it. Even though we couldn't try the classic sides like Mac and cheese and cornbread, we enjoyed the pork. It was very juicy and the bbq sauce was good.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich, Mac and Cheese, Fries

    This place is a little hidden BBQ spot in West Virginia that I highly recommend. I've been here a few times now and it is amazing food and great prices for what you get. Each side is around $4-8 dollars but they are huge. Especially the fries which could feed about 2 people. I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Mac and Cheese and Fries. It was absolutely delicious. The servers and workers are all super nice and easygoing on top of everything. I encourage everyone to go try this spot if you are in the area or going to West Virginia on vacation! -Jacob Moore

    Pulled pork with green beans and cole slaw

    We stopped into Canaan Valley BBQ for dinner in the middle of a winter storm that preempted our drive to the restaurant we had originally planned to patronize. Only a few other customers were in the restaurant. The staff was so friendly and helpful, bringing my daughter a sample of the mac and cheese when she could not decide on her side. The portions are HUGE, so we ended up with way more food than we could eat and left with two bags of leftovers, including a giant brownie that the kitchen staff brought out on the house, delighting my children. The dining room was spacious and clean, and the brisket was a crowd pleaser. The fries were crispy and delicious! We would definitely come back if we ever return to the Canaan Valley.

    Pulled pork, baked beans and coleslaw - massive.

    We stopped by for dinner last night. We tried the Pulled Pork sandwiches (which had a softball sized mound of meat), 1/2 rack of ribs, and six of their smoked, crispy wings with buffalo sauce and blue cheese and several sides: coleslaw, fries, baked beans, Mac and cheese. the side portions are also huge. We need to take about 1/4-1/2 the meal home. It all tasted very good. As tough as it is to make a go of a restaurant in Canaan/Davis/Thomas (given the wide off season/on season swings), it makes me happy that Canaan BBQ is around. The staff are all friendly, you order at the bar and they bring your food out to your table when it is ready. we also had several bar drinks, their Autumn drink which was rum based, a Beam and Ginger ale and a Gin and Tonic. All were quickly made and made well. The restaurant is rustic but nicely decorated and we enjoyed the atmosphere of watching several young families with kids with wide eyes as their huge portions hit the table. We'll definitely be back. Want to try the brisket and other dishes next time.

    First BBQ place I've been to where you don't get scammed for the price of the servings. Pretty good brisket!

    Most of the menu was unavailable, but staff was very nice. Needed more staff. Loved the BBQ sauce.

    Blackwater Lodge - Side salad

    The staff were nice. Lighting was good. Sadly, there is nothing on the Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner…read moremenus that I would eat so I can't speak to the food. (Why do you add almond to French toast?) Some members of our party have eaten there, and raved, so I had to check it out while in the area.

    Had a really pleasant experience at the Smokehouse BBQ at Blackwater lodge. I had the spinach salad…read moreand pulled pork sandwich (which also has onion rings and a generous slice of brisket on it. The salad was delicious, generous and fresh. The sandwich came with baked beans, Coleslaw and a cornbread muffin. All were really good and of generous size. I also had a local draft beer and another in my party had a gin and tonic. Another in my party got the pot roast (with real mashed potatoes, broccoli and a side salad. Again, generous size and all prepared very well. The third in our party got a burger and fries...he fancies himself a bit of a burger/fry connoisseur and said it was a really good burger and fries--only critique was he might take a couple of the red onions off the burger as they were 'fresh' and a bit strong. Despite it being off season and commensurately less staffing, service was prompt, courteous and accurate. The ambiance, while being a large (and in our case relatively empty) laid back dining hall, the views of the valley are unsurpassed. We will definitely be back

    Blackwater Lodge - The hot tub was not open during our visit, but the pool was great! A negative is that the gym does not open until 800.
