Good guacamole and very large burritos. Small place so expect to wait for a table during ski season. Warm inside due to wood stove so wear layers. read more

Food was good, service was beyond terrible. We sat waiting for over an hour after we ordered. When asked why it was taking so long the waitress was plain rude. read more

This place has charm and massive burritos. The guacamole and black bean dip are both good. While the burritos are impressive in size I didn't find them the be as flavorful as I was hoping for. They have a decent selection of beers and the service was friendly. read more

The place should re-consider their setup. There's very limited seating and there is nowhere to wait for a table without being in the poor servers' way. There's a "lounge" upstairs to wait in, but it was crowded and no where to sit/stand. We huddled near the bar and had to move every 30 seconds to make way for someone passing through. We were told it would be a 40 minute wait and it turned out to be an hour and 40 minute wait. In fact, from putting our name on the list to walking out it took over 2.5 hrs. For that reason, I won't be going back. The food was good. Good guac and hefty portions. Some of our party had burritos that were mostly rice. But others didn't. I would say only go with a small party and sit and eat at the bar. It's much faster and the beer is good and cheap. read more

Pretty much a glorified chipotle. Food was good, the waitress was awful. She sat us and returned moments later and said "times up" and was dead serious. After we ate I asked her to split my bill, she huffed and puffed and told me to take it to the bar... For one, your the waitress it's your job, two it's not the bartenders job, three no... Davis is in serious need of some good eating establishments. read more

The best food in all of thomas/davis/canaan/etc.. by a long shot. I had the namesake hellbender burrito and was definitely not disappointed. so fresh and tasty! We also split an order of fish dip, and I think that's one of the best post-ski appetizers that I've ever had. Pair that with a decent bar selection and it's a win every-time. Space is at a premium and it seems that waits are a regular occurrence. We squeezed into two chairs at the bar and scarfed a few pints and burritos. read more

You have to go here, I'm not kidding. The burritos are huge and delicious! We were in town staying at Blackwater Falls and we decided to try Hellbender. When we walked in, the main dining room is in the front room, and the bar is in the room after that. We sat in the bar area, which was very cozy. The atmosphere is very casual, which we love. The service was helpful and friendly. Most importantly, the food was delicious. I had a chicken, bacon, ranch burrito. Plenty of chicken and bacon in this baby. My fella had a vegetarian burrito with seitan and cheese and a bunch of veggies. It was overstuffed and awesome. Several beers on draft. We were slightly disappointed that there was only one local brew. That one local brew was really good though. This place seems like it's a favorite local spot for residents, and I can see why. Good food, big portions, good prices, and friendly people. read more

Nice atmosphere. Lots of different types of burritos. I did not like the hellbender but then again I forgot that I don't like buffalo sauce so it's my fault. I would be interested in going back and trying some of the other burritos. In my large group of friends I saw some interesting burritos. Nice atmosphere- I'll be back. read more

We ate here on New Year's day on the way out of Canaan Valley. Didn't really know what to expect but we all were in the mood for a good burrito. This place did not disappoint. Atmosphere is eclectic and inviting. Waitress was nice and efficient and most importantly the burritos were very good. They are big but very tasty. All the ingredients tasted fresh so I"m not sure what one earlier review is talking about. If you are up in Davis, you need to try this place. read more

Headed out to Davis from DC for a late season MtB weekend. Stopped in to Hellbender for beers Saturday night and then back for a post ride burrito Sunday. Good food, good beer, and great people. Would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area! read more

Stopped at this place because of yelp reviews. SO glad we did! Ice cream place next door was SO cute. (cash only tho). I was really impressed with the queso and the guac! Waitress seemed a little out of it and kept forgetting things and messed up my husbands order, but otherwise the food was great and the place was clean! :) read more

Great food - wonderful little burrito place (did I mention that they have vegetarian AND vegan options for the burritos!!). The only reason it did not receive a five star rating was that the service was a little slow. It was a Friday night and the place was packed - it took us 30 minutes to get our table and then at least another 30 minutes to get our food. As I said, the burritos were fabuous -- some of our large party came here for a second night in a row. I would definitly go back again!! read more

Solid burrito and some good, innovative options. My kids claim best in the east coast, but alas we are California burrito snobs

The absolute worst service I've ever had. We waited 45 minutes for service. He walked around talking to people acting like we weren't there. The guy who works the cashier just looked at us and refused service. So my mom called him out asking will he serve us and he said he didn't want to serve us. Then when we walked out he was talking about us to the customers and staff. I AM DEFFINETLY not ever coming back again. The male working the cash register should be fired immediately if I could give ZERO STARS I would. read more

My husband and I had lunch here on the way to Blackwater Falls State Park. Our server was kind and attentive, and we enjoyed the rustic atmosphere of the place. The food, on the other hand, left much to be desired. The "queso", as an earlier reviewer mentioned, is Velveeta cheese. Blech! The burritos are so big that a family of four could split one. They are not big on flavor though. I ordered the Hellbender, which was comprised of mostly rice, some bland chunks of chicken that were unseasoned and seemingly boiled, buffalo sauce that barely had a kick, and their housemade Bleu cheese dressing that tasted like ranch; there was not so much as a hint of Bleu cheese in that dressing. Thank goodness they offer decent desserts, although I suspect they do not make the in house. They had a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake that was very good. There are not many choices of places to eat in downtown Davis, so I can understand why this place has so many reviews, but the food is definitely subpar. read more

If you are in the Davis, WV area then this should be a stop on your food agenda! Bring your appetite! The burritos are huge and reasonably priced! Fast and friendly service! read more

Really like the atmosphere in this place. Everyone was very friendly. The owner even steered me to a competitor because he said they sold the beer that I was looking for. The food was good to great. I had the Gravity Check and the spinach balls, both were very good. Good quality ingredients. Also a good selection of beer and they fill growlers! I can't believe it took so long for me to hear of this place. Whatever the distance it is worth the drive! read more

Pretty good burritos for a hole in the wall in WV. Ordered chios and salsa as an appetizer and got a bunch of broken chips. The salsa was good though. Ordered the admiral burrito and substituted steak instead of chicken. It was delicious. Pretty good burrrito. read more

Found this place cause, well, it has a geocache in the back. We came the first day... we came every day afterwards. The food is fantastic. Hippie Tex Mex is absolutely an accurate description. Wonderful veggie options - and good for those meat eaters as well. The place is warm and welcoming with a wood stove in the front room. The bathroom has toys from the x files, a poster from the x files that says "I want to believe" and a cover of some fake newspaper about how rednecks captured Osama. The bar has the WV game on with lots of fans watching. Service was great even when crowded. I would go back to Canaan just to go to Hellbenders! read more

Stay away from the chicken. The guac was good but the chips are nothing special. The admiral burrito is excellent. Don't get the Hellbender.

We've heard about this place for years and finally decided to stop in after we got rained out on a hike. Honestly, I don't understand the hype. The chips are straight from a bag of Tostidos, the steak in my burrito was overcooked and chewy, and you get a tablespoon-sized portion side of coleslaw that tastes like it's right out of a KFC meal. Worst part was our burritos weren't warm--the grated cheese hadn't even melted. You definitely get a lot of burrito for $9, but when you can't finish it because it's meh, the value certainly drops. I suppose this place gets rave reviews because it's one of the few places near the valley to get an interesting meal. Maybe it was an off day for Hellbender, but the food was mediocre at best. Or maybe it's just cool to tell your friends about a killer hole-in-the-wall burrito place when you return to the big city after a weekend ski trip, regardless of whether the food is actually that good. read more

Hellbender Burritos always offers great food at reasonable prices. The burritos are large and the queso is delicious. If you're in Davis, Thomas, or anywhere in the Canaan Valley, I highly recommend checking this place out. Just beware it can get crowded during the busy seasons. read more

Not as awesome as I was expecting from some of the other reviews. Service and atmosphere were good. Guacamole was decent. Burritos were huge, but 90% white rice, and just really didn't taste good. read more

Great food...local, fresh and consistently good! We locals love it here! Do not miss the Key Lime Pie...to DIE for!

Best Burritos in town!! I have tried mostly all of them and I have no bad reviews on them they all were delicious.

You'd never expect how amazing the burritos are at this place by driving by. We had the smoked fish appetizer (outstanding) and burritos that were not only huge, but fresh and perfect. Our family of 6 were impressed and happy! read more

Was surprised to find this burrito place up in the mountains! Good selection of beer and the service was genuine and welcoming. The guacamole tastes fresh and the burritos are huge! read more

Simple menu with good mexican with a twist. Unique style but very small. The food was quite good and big portions. But charge for simple sides fairly high compared to main items and be warned they don't split checks and won't take a card for under $10.00s. Still wrth the visit for the unique mexican with a wv twist stye. read more

My co-worker and I had a fantastic meal here last night. She eats meat and I am vegetarian, and there were great options for both of us. Everything was delish, the staff was friendly, the place was warm and (with the exception of the clown pictures on the ladies room) has a neat, funky decor. read more

Cool little place in Davis, WV. The burritos are absolutely huge, and I was impressed by how much steak there was in their version of the cheesesteak. The atmosphere is great and fits the town perfectly. This seems like a great place to grab a beer and a bite after a day on the trail or the slopes. Recommended. read more

Hot damn, this place is yummy! Plenty of veg options (they make their own seitan!?) and burrito bowls for the GF set. Portions attuned to long hikes and days spent skiing. Also appreciated the local beers on tap. read more

I tried the tree hugger without the broccoli, and it was surprisingly good, considering the usual lackluster veggie options that one finds.My boyfriend had the hellbender chicken bowl, and it was really really yummy. Also tried the hot salmon dip. Not a fan. Spinach balls were great though, and so was the lemonade. Craving for more as I finish the review. read more

Excellent atmosphere, excellent food. Visited on vacation and had the tacos. Crisp, corn flavor. Bought a shirt! If you're in Davis, go!

We searched all over the area for gluten free options for me. A local shopkeeper recommended Hellbenders and we were not disappointed. Almost all of their menu could be tweeked to meet my needs and the food was plentiful and good. The delicious guacamole was served in a soup bowl rather than a tiny deli cup! My husband enjoyed the local beer and the prices were very good. We highly recommend this place for a casual meal. read more

Stopped by Hellbender Burritos after a day of skiing. So delicious. I got a steak burrito that was bigger than my face. It was juicy and flavorful. The actual restaurant is relatively small, but they have a waiting area upstairs with couches and a chess board to sit while you're waiting for a table. My one complaint is that they don't split checks. It's 2015, who doesn't split checks anymore? They make it clear from the beginning though, so at least it is not a surprise at the end of your meal. read more

Great eclectic place. The food and service were good. Had the Hellbender, very yummy! Ate lunch with 3 friends we all enjoyed our meal. You can bet I will be back. Also the Queso rocked! read more

My favorite place to eat in Davis! Great burritos and beer on tap! I recommend the Admiral, my personal favorite!

Massive burritos with unusual combinations of ingredients. I had the Faceplant, featuring chili, rice, queso, and Fritos--who knew Fritos were such a delicious burrito filling? I may have to try that one at home. The bean dip appetizer was a letdown, though--cold dip and unremarkable tortilla chips. Still, I enjoyed my lunch here and it's certainly worth a visit if you're staying in Davis. read more

In Canaan Valley, dining options fall squarely in the slim to none category. If you are in the mood to cook after a long day on the slopes, this won't pose much of a problem for you. If you are like me and prefer to have some else do the hard work, while you work on tomorrow's hangover, then you need to visit Hellbender's. The food is decent and cheap, the beer selection is good. The chips, particularly could be better. The cilantro lime rice has a little too much lime. But the steak, chicken, and pulled pork are all tender and served in generous portions. read more

Fun place with outstanding food and great beers. The place was packed at 6 pm on a Saturday night. The hubs and I sat at the tiny bar and ordered food. A little uncomfortable for eating dinner, but the bartender was great. We drank the local beers from Mountain State Brewing Company, and the bartender recommended an IPA for hubs to try. I had the Gendarme, which is like a cheesesteak in a burrito and the hubs had the shovel head with pulled pork. Huge burritos--prepare to leave stuffed. Creative burrito combinations that can be easily adapted to vegetarian. read more
