The lovely flowers next to the entrance.

We stopped here and got some sandwiches to go. They were delicious. A much better choice than fast food. The ladies working here couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommend!

Great service! Tiny little spot to grab a light sandwich. Parking behind the building. We tried the pimento blt on sourdough special and the Papermaker (French dip style) and the mint brownie. All delicious!

Great little lunch only place. Greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The ladies took really good care of us. The food was good. One of us ordered the pie and he was very happy it as well. Parking is a small lot in the back.

I have to say this little place is ducked off in this little town. If the service doesn't please you alone, the food will. The place is quaint and sit yourself type dining. There are always specials of the day, a soup, a salad, a lunch and even a quiche of the day. And of course there is desert. I recommend the chicken salad, it may be a simple dish but they do it with a taste only your grandmother can match. When you're looking for something simple to eat with a great tast, I recommend this Jack Burke's House

One of my most favorite lunch spots in my little hometown! I allllllways get one of the potatoes (various delicious toppings available & it comes with a small salad, bread, and orange slice!), but everything is delicious! If you're in Covington at lunchtime, check it out!

See all

Always good, nice atmosphere. The Hattie is my favorite. Homemade chicken salad, bacon and tomato on a Kaiser roll.

The Hattie is my favorite but everything on the menu is a win. They've been the same delicious team and menu for years. I love it!

Food & Friends

It was the first time that I had French onion soup. It was on the menu here at Food and Friends -…read moreLewisburg. My friend and I decide to come to Lewisburg because I heard it was a cool place to have lunch. The lunch decision was between a Mexican restaurant across the street or at Food and Friends, and ultimately Food and Friends won out and we stepped into this restaurant, hoping to have a nice lunch together. It was just after 1 PM when we came into the restaurant and we sat almost immediately because there was a table available at. The entire experience took about an hour or so and it was enjoyable for sure. The restaurant itself was cute and unique. The menu was cute and the prices were decent. My friend decided to pick up the tab for both of us because I was visiting and that was nice. I started the meal with the French onion soup, which was a first for me. It was a good delicious appetizer for me that was awesome. It warmed the soul and my stomach. For the main course, I had this steak and shrimp salad dish, which was good and refreshing. It was nice because it wasn't too much carbs and it was nice to have steak for lunch at least once in my trip to West Virginia. The ambiance was nice and quiet. It was definitely a nice lunch spot on a quiet Wednesday November afternoon in Lewisburg. Food and Friends is a nice restaurant in the heart of Lewisburg. Check them out if you're in the area! I would wholeheartedly recommend coming here. They have a ton of great options to choose from and the service is great and friendly. I enjoyed myself with my friend for lunch. Hopefully you will too with your party. The overall experience here at Food and Friends - Lewisburg was very nice and pleasant. It was also a great choice to have lunch. The staff here was very accommodating and friendly. It was a typical experience that made me happy that it was a good choice. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy. It felt like a small converted house, with the main floor for customers. I felt that the French onion soup was the featured dish for me and the salad was the accompaniment to a wonderful day so far. Both dishes were freshly made and served with love. It was very refreshing and satisfying. Never needed dressing too, since the steak was prepared with enough spice and all of the things. Even the shrimps were sautéed and cooked to perfection. Just wanted something light and simple without having it to be heavy on the stomach and this steak and shrimp salad that Food & Friends made was amazing and out of this world. As far as the seating arrangements, we got to sit near the entrance, which was good. There was not much air conditioning since it was fairly cool conditions at the time for mid November. Comfortable chairs and furniture make it a little homespun while you dine here. It was a nice place to dine here and definitely a nice place to be. If you are a fan of local comfort food without the price bloat, consider coming here to Food & Friends restaurant in Lewisburg. It may be off the beaten path, but once you get here, you'll be glad you did. Trust yourself and treat yourself. You'll be well rewarded! If you're lucky to be here, you might find yourself dining in a hidden gem restaurant. Definitely recommend Food & Friends. Food & Friends restaurant is a cute boutique restaurant in the heart of Lewisburg, West Virginia. It's physically located at 878 Washington Street here in Lewisburg. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far parking goes, your best bet would be to find street parking wherever you can find it and walk on over to the restaurant. The town of Lewisburg is small enough to where parking can be found anywhere that's legal to park. Ideally, having a car of your own or renting one in a larger city is helpful to get to Lewisburg. I'm not sure if the town of Lewisburg has a public transportation system for anyone and everyone to use to get around. Then there is the topic of Uber or Lyft to get you here, but the drive is long anywhere from Lewisburg, in general. With that said, your best bet would be to get here with a friend or try to get a rental on your own. It'll be quite the expense to try to Uber here from Princeton, Bluefield, or Beckley. Or even from Charleston too. The food here is good and the company was great. I enjoyed myself here for lunch on a November 2025 outing here to Lewisburg. Hope you can make it out here. The town is nice and small enough to walk around for an afternoon. Food & Friends was my favorite place to have lunch in. Hopefully it will be yours as well. They'll love to have you, I'm sure of it. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

Food and Friends is a nice restaurant with good food overall, and the dessert was especially great…read more A pleasant spot to enjoy a meal.
