Ate here yesterday and had a pleasant visit. staff was friendly and quick. Food was excellent and tasted wonderful. Chili cheese fries were great and our steak subs were on point. read more

My husband and I had a very stressful day and decided to get takeout. He ordered an Angus Burger with no onions and a bag of chips, and I ordered shrimp scampi with breadsticks and a salad with blue cheese. When we got home to eat, we discovered that his burger had only the patty and cheese, no lettuce or other toppings. Nobody had asked us what toppings we wanted. In addition, my shrimp scampi was loaded with peppers (which I can't eat), a ton of oil, and maybe half a cup of spaghetti. For context, the menu says "large shrimp, white wine, lemon, garlic, served on a bed of spaghetti." The "bed" was more of a carpet. To their credit, the burger was indeed a half-pound, there were plenty of shrimp, and the breadsticks and salad tasted good. But my husband had to add his own lettuce and toppings out of our fridge, and my shrimp scampi was inedible due to the peppers and excess oil. We were both shocked because we'd heard good reviews, but based on this experience, we will not be back. read more

Just awesome!! Italian fare plus American grill - elevated food in a classic diner setting with comfy seating. The pecan pie is a show stopper! read more

They are a family and welcome you into their family for some of the finest food you can find anywhere. Home cooking with fresh breads. Chillie bread bowel is my favorite as well as the apple bread pudding. Although I must say the hamburgers are AMAZING!!! read more

All the food was delicious. I ordered the Fried Zucchini which were very large were delicious. Plus, I ordered a bowl of the Baked Onion Soup and a couple of delicious meatballs. I would order both of them again. My partner ordered the Fish and Chips special. Best fries we ever ate. The service was excellent read more

Food service was poor. Quality has went down hill. They would not cook a medium rare burger. My guess is frozen patties. Silverware was dirty and not clean. Tea was served unsweetened although they did correct. Service is very slow. 25 mins wait and still no food. read more

The price point and the taste food doesnt match up. I don't mind paying more for food that is good, this was not that case. On top of the food not tasting great, $15 for 4 drinks.. (3 of which were kids drinks). Will not be back. read more

Came here on a Sat. evening with a group of 9 (three kids). We were seated almost immediately. Our server was extremely polite and very professional (even after one of the kids spilled their drink). Everyone had different orders and everything came out exceptional. There wasn't a mistake or a send back. I don't know what I was more impressed by - out server or our food. I would definitely recommend this place for dates, or for families. read more

I was pleased with this place. The staff was very friendly, the food was good and the pricing was reasonable. We came in a little after 11 for lunch on Sunday and the place filled up quickly by the time we left all of the tables were full. We ordered 2 appetizers, the fried zucchini was huge slices and not too greasy, and the bruschetta was good too. Items defiantly/clearly were made to order and were not frozen and just reheated. The kids Mac n cheese was large portion and was not Kraft (which made me happy) my pulled pork sandwich was good too, the bun was soft and the pork was tender. read more

Good home cooked food try the chicken ciabatta sandwich or if you want to have a meal the steak and ribs with twice baked potato. Thanks Grafton folks. read more

What a gem of a place. The food is home cooked and absolutely fantastic. Well worth the drive.

Gourmet? In Grafton? Seriously? That was our response when my father-in-law wanted to take us there for lunch. Really? Yep! It's good. For real. Try it, you'll see. You won't be disappointed. The restaurant is in an old house. Lots of character, 2 stories, warm colors on the walls, nicely decorated. The food is fresh and plentiful. All your Italian favorites and they are delicious. The chef knows what he's doing and the servers are friendly. They sure get a workout running up and down the stairs between the main floor and 2nd floor dining rooms. If you're planning to go in the evening you might want to call ahead. This place is consistently busy and with good reason. read more

I had lunch here today with the bf. We were tipped off by a local that this was a great place to eat and they were indeed right. Gourmet Express in Grafton, WV, is in a quaint 2-story house on a main street in town. The sign does not reflect the true quality and classiness of this amazing little slice of heaven in the middle of nowhere. We had an Italian hoagie with meats and olive relish that was to die for. The bread was also fresh, chewy and divine. It's the kind of delicious meal that makes you close your eyes and sigh the word 'yuuuuuummmmmm', quietly in the soul. The interior has a pleasant decor with good decorations, though I might suggest that some art by local artists might be nice too. Also, I would politely suggest upscaling your chips in some way so that they are more at the level of the sandwich. The Italian meats with olive relish sandwich is a pinnacle of yumminess and deserves slightly better that average chips from a bag. Do I know what that would be? Would it be a homemade chip? A kettle chip? Maybe homemade sweet potato chips or fries? Great service and a good unsweetened ice tea! Thank you. Just some ideas for y'all at Gourmet Express. I hope that you continue to bring good taste to Grafton for years to come. read more

Ok, keep your eyes open for this joint- we drove by it twice! Let me tell you, THIS PLACE! Our server made it, she offered suggestions that were spot on amd stayed involved to just the right level throughout the whole meal. We stopped for lunch. ohhhh those RIBS! And the fresh baked bread. And the perfect sweet tea. Everything is scratch made and it shows. Good fresh ingredients. Comfortable little joint with great service and excellent food. Can't ask for more than that. read more

Nice place to eat in Grafton. Reasonably priced menu with a lot of selections. The kids Mac N Cheese was great and my boys loved it. The ribs were falling off the bone. The bruschetta was the best. Would recommending is looking for an upscale casual place to eat in Grafton read more

I've eaten here twice now, and once was for a first date with my boyfriend. We were on our way to Clarksburg, and I'm not going to lie- when he picked me up from Morgantown and took me all the way to little old Grafton, and pulled up to this place, my expectations were not the best. But upon entering and seeing the cute, warm decor and smelling the good smells, my hopes heightened. It's an old house with lots of charm, and the servers must have awesome leg muscles from running between both the upstairs and downstairs dining rooms! That first time I had the salmon with rice and roasted veggies, a twice-baked potato, and a side salad. Everything was awesome- huge portions, great flavors, really reasonable prices. The second time I got the cheese ravioli with a meatball, and a salad with french. Ot also came with awesome crusty garlic breadsticks. The sauce was very flavorful, and the ravioli were about three inches wide and stuffed rather thick with cheese. I was glad for the breadsticks to sop up the sauce and the meatball was very flavorful. Definitely the best place to go in town, and also worth the trek from another location! read more

The first wait staff person was a bit rude. One of the silverware sets was dirty. All of our food (appetizer s and all) came out at the same time But the food itself was excelent. read more

The food was mediocre. Service was okay. You're charged for any more than 1 refill. The only redeeming quality was the crispy fries. I only tried the lunch menu though. I've heard breakfast is better. read more

We just happened to be traveling through town. We asked a girl at Walgreens for the best place to grab lunch and she recommended Gourmet Express. It was outstanding!. The best breadsticks I've ever had. I had cheese ravioli and my wife had spaghetti. It's a small little place and easy to miss. Well worth a stop though. read more

I lived in Grafton for over about 15 years and I can say with certainty that this is the best in town. They have a pretty basic menu, but everything is good. I've had pasta dishes that I would have again without hesitation. Their hoagies and burgers are awesome also. If you want to try the best they have to offer I recommend the ribs. The ribs are cooked perfectly and the sauce is out of this world. I drive back into town just to eat here from time to time. Well worth the low prices! read more

Great plus, Lemon Chicken out of this world!!! Tammy was our waitress what a sweet heart I had Cornbeef Hash with Cabbage yum yum Don't pass by Grafton WV with stopping by u will not regret read more

Yes...Grafton...that dirty little town indeed has a gormet restaurant, and this is it. Cheap and GOOD. A coworker from out of town told me about it. Super clean and smartly decorated. Plush seating as I recall. Ate on the second floor. Wood floors, banisters and molding all make it a very warm atmosphere. Food was great. In an old house right on the main drag. read more

The service was good the rigatoni, the toasted almond cake and the apple dumpling very good

This place is a little bit of respite from a pretty depressed looking area. I'm staying overnight in a local hotel and was sent here for a good meal. Overall I was happy/satisfied when I left. Some minor things would have made it better. The servers were attentive and nice. I ordered two appetizers. Hot wings and the 1/2 order rack of ribs with fries. She asked if I wanted the wings out first and I said yes. They showed up then the ribs were only one minute behind. Poor timing there in the kitchen. I got there early so it wasn't crowded. I always order hot wings and they are never hot. These were DAMN hot. I'm glad but a little warning on the menu or from the wait staff would have been nice. I likely would have gone with the medium. The ribs were nice and tender and tasty. The fries were nothing special. My drink order was kept filled and this goes a long way with me. read more

Great food, great service. My favorite hometown restaurant. I can always count on my food to be delicious!

This place was a nice suprise in a small town! We had the French Onion Soup (wonderful) and a salad, fried zuchinni appetizer & ice tea. The portions are nice size and waitress are friendly and efficient, they do get a work out running up and down the stairs! The old house redone is warm and relaxing. Customers flow in and out at a good rate, we were very satisfied and will definitely go back! We are from Marion Co so this isn't a 5 minute drive for us, but well worth it! read more

The first thing I noticed was that the waitress was obviously upset about something. I really do not like eating in a place were the person serving you looks like she is unhappy you a there. I order shrimp scampy. Six pieces of shrimp served with spaghetti in what looked like shrimp water. It didn't taste bad but it wasn't shrimp scampi. I won't be back. read more

Pretty fantastic place. Anyone that eats here remembers it. Pasta is sort of the thing here. I used to think this was just another burger joint on the side of the road until I ate here one day. Now I stop frequently. read more

Great food! Reasonable price! Great service! Check it out. GH ....Lakewood Ranch, FL

Have visited this restaurant twice now and have been extremely satisfied both times. Great service and food.

We were looking for a place to eat while driving west and came upon this little surprise. Great food and good service.
