The space is light and airy bustling during the lunch hour on weekdays. Along with the healthy bowls, the smoothies drew us in and they did not disappoint. Everything was made from scratch.

The atmosphere reminded me of a busy coffee shop - buzzing energy and noise. It was packed so I was worried about getting a table but we eventually did. Food coming out was incredibly slow but they were all hustling. Food didn't stop coming out, it was just that busy. Food was worth the wait but so glad I had packed my toddler lunch so we avoided all meltdowns. We would return!

The local high school in Elkview, WV (formerly Clendenin, WV) is Herbert Hoover High School and…read moretheir mascot is the Husky. The Husky Den is a locally owned restaurant operated by Billy Wehrle, a Big Chimney, Elk River born and raised resident, and a huge supporter of HHHS sports for several decades. The interior of the newly opened restaurant is filled with memorabilia and artifacts from the new and old school. According to their Facebook page they have one goal, to become the #1 place for West Virginia style hot dogs in the state. I've eaten a lot of WV hotdogs at a lot of places all over the state, including the formally ranked #2 hot dog at Yokums near Seneca Rocks. The Husky Den puts up a really good fight with their hot dogs and they definitely belong right there at the top. This place is definitely worth the stop if you love West Virginia style hot dogs. The menu is ever evolving and they focus on locally sourced food such as using local beef and vegetables when possible. The restaurant has revived local classics that no longer exist such as the Larry Maynor Blue Creek Special which was a sandwich served to high school students at a local convenience store that was open for decades but was lost when Maynors closed. The prices are really great and affordable for all, aimed at being available and within reach of the high school students located nearby. The inside is quite small but the staff are well trained and move orders quickly. There is a really nice outside eating area adjacent to the restaurant and there is parking in front of and behind the building. Since the Clendenin Dairy Queen closed there was no where on the Elk River that you could get a proper WV dog until now. Stop in and support a local business that supports the local school and students.

If you've been searching the world for *the* perfect Reuben sandwich, stop. Put down your passport…read more Cancel your food pilgrimage. Because the greatest Reuben of all time isn't hiding in some upscale deli in New York or tucked away in a quaint European bistro. No, it's right here in Elkview, WV--at The Husky Den. I don't know what kind of wizardry they're working with in that kitchen, but their Reuben is *transcendent*. The corned beef is piled high, juicy enough to make a grown man weep. The Swiss cheese melts like it's been blessed by the culinary gods, and the sauerkraut? Perfection. But let's talk about the bread--crispy, golden, with just the right crunch, like it was toasted by angels. And don't get me started on the ratio. Some places drown their Reubens in dressing like they're trying to hide something. But The Husky Den? They understand balance. Every bite is a harmonious symphony of flavors, an edible masterpiece that could bring international peace if only world leaders would sit down and try it. Long story short--if you love food, you owe it to yourself to make the pilgrimage to Elkview and order this Reuben. Just prepare to have all other sandwiches ruined for you forever.

First, they forgot my taco with rice and beans. Second, the 3 enchiladas came with tortillas that were like raw dough. The "beef" was tiny granules like cat food or the meat in fake hotdog chili. There was no enchilada sauce included at all. My wife's taco with beans and rice consisted of a taco with minimal filling and there was three times the rice as there were beans. There were about 2 tablespoons of beans. I have previously eaten in the restaurant and received better food there. What was sent be delivery was disgusting.

The service was genuinely friendly and made the experience even better. I ordered a sausage pizza with onions and added banana peppers. The sausage was packed with flavor without overpowering the rest of the toppings, the onions were a nice touch, and the banana peppers turned out to be a perfect addition to an already great pizza. The sauce had just the right amount of tang, tying everything together nicely. I was looking for pizza and I planned on stopping in Charleston to eat, and there are several options but based on the reviews I chose this place and it was a great choice! I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in town

Fuel has been in business for a few years despite a number of flaws…read more The place inexplicably closes at 8:00 pm despite the fact the Huntington restaurant crowd is still going until 10, and it's in The Market with Austin's Ice Cream and Taqueria 84, which are open later. I was in line tonight and with another person in front of me and the clock struck 8:00 and the young woman at the counter literally told us, "Sorry, that was the last customer. We close at 8." I've never been in line at a counter business in my life and been turned away because of hours. Second, the sandwiches here made with overly thick bread but the meat portions are paper thin. These are not sandwiches, they are bread with a hint of meat. I always get the pizzas here as thst is all they offer that is worthwhile. Unfortunately, though, there is... Third, they haven't changed the menu since they opened. It's bee. the same damned options for the past few years! People say they have a favorite (always pizza) at Fuel and that's because they can never get a new option. This is a lazy business that had a great beginning but one which doesn't listen to its customers at all. They've been told about the hours, the fat bread, and the lack of new options by many people, and they feign a politeness that tells you that they don't value your opinion. It gets by because it's in a town with few options and even fewer new ones.

This hidden gem did not disappoint! On the outside it's a little quirky, in the bestest way, it probably used to be an old service station that they converted. They had outside seating/patio area for us and our dogs to sit at. Our server was Jana, she was amazing! Straight away she came out with two bowls of water for our girls. I ordered the Dolly, with extra bacon and the house made potato chips. I also ordered a side of the potato salad as well as ordering their six dips*. My wife also ordered the Dolly but with their crinkle cut fries. We both agreed that the Dolly was amazingly delicious!! The house made potato chips were cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned and went very well with any of the dips. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and well seasoned. We both enjoyed the mom's deviled egg potato salad and couldn't stop eating it! I enjoyed all of the dips, and my wife's favorites were the Dill dip, Jana's roasted garlic and onion, and the Appalachian Goddess. We were too full to eat them at the restaurant so we purchased two cookies to go-the fruity pebbles white chocolate chip and the cinnamon toast pumpkin. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend stopping here-ask for Jana, she's amazing. She was very attentive to us, and a cat lover! We would definitely stop here again if we're ever in the area!! They do have a very small parking area but we had no issues with parking.
