    I first found out about Tudor's Biscuit World from a coworker who grew up in West Virginia. That…read morewas about 15 years ago. Now, whenever I'm in West Virginia, I try to stop by. Last week, my wife and I were down in Beckley to pick up our son from the Scout National Jamboree and decided to stop by the local Tudor's to get some breakfast sandwiches. I got the Tootie, Country ham, egg, & cheese on their own buttermilk biscuit and my wife got the Ron, Savory sausage, egg, & cheese on a biscuit. As usual, they were excellent. We ate in. The staff was very friendly and came around to refill my wife's coffee twice. The restaurant was clean, as were the restrooms. If you are in West Virginia, I'd highly recommend checking out Tudor's Biscuit World. They have the best breakfast sandwiches around.

    The staff was very friendly even though they were short staffed they were doing their best! The…read morefood was good, I think my main suggestion for the biscuits is they need more butter! Although I don't eat eggs (not a fan) so I'm always happy when I can find a place that offers breakfast biscuits without eggs! This place isn't big but Beckley isn't a big city either. You can dine in or take out they have a drive thru window as well. Just a heads up there's a pizza place that occupies the other side of the building so there are two entrances although they share a dining room.

    A world-class gorge, a very mediocre company…read more We stayed mid-September during Gauley Fest, one of the biggest weekends of the year for this area. The New River Gorge is one of the great landscapes in America, and that's exactly why this stay was such a letdown. The staff: The people we dealt with, including the front desk, were helpful and friendly, and clearly working hard to paper over some corporate cracks. The servers at Smokey's were terrific. My complaints are with the company, not the folks stuck representing it. Multiple staff, including river guides, told us the company has been cutting benefits like food discounts, raising rents on site, and hiring foreign workers to replace West Virginians. Bold strategy for a brand that sells itself entirely on West Virginia and its people. The view: The resort's crown jewel is a sweeping view of the New River Gorge, and someone decided the fix for "too much natural beauty" was a swimming pool dropped right in the middle of it. Ancient rock and river, meet chlorine and pool chairs. Whoever greenlit it, management looked at millions of years of geology and thought, "needs a Marriott courtyard vibe." The cabin: We opened the door to a visible layer of dust, like the last guests left mid-2025 and nobody noticed. Then we were asked to clean up the cabin and take out our own trash before leaving. At these rates, I didn't realize I was also signing up as unpaid housekeeping staff. That's a corporate staffing decision, not something the front desk chose. Smokey's buffet: Photos attached, because words alone won't do it justice. Smokey's wasn't even open for dinner during Gauley Fest weekend, arguably the single busiest weekend of their year, so we had breakfast there instead. It was a parade of starchy, heavy, low-quality institutional food with almost nothing fresh or healthy in sight. The yogurt and "granola" were some of the saddest things I've ever put in my mouth, and I've eaten actual prison food that fared better. Bottom line: Come for the gorge and the rafting, and tip the staff who are doing their best with what corporate gives them, but book your bed elsewhere. That buffet food, quality-wise, belongs at Mount Olive prison. The difference is the people there don't get a choice. Here, you get to choose it, and pay resort prices for the privilege.

Not…read moreonly do you get to walk around and enjoy various local artists work, some artists who are actively working (we got to watch glass blowing), but the food was some of the best we had on our trip! My fiance got the Reuben sandwich and the peanut butter pie. Both were absolutely five star! The Reuben had plenty on it and was nicely balanced. The onion rings felt fresh and were dipped in a really delicious batter. As you can see, the peanut butter pie was huge, creamy, and really delicious with a good balance of cream cheese flavor. The chicken pot pie did not disappoint either! It was a bowl of the creamy chicken mixture with a ridiculous amount of actual chicken in it (both light and dark meat). It was topped by a layer of some flaky and delicious pastry. There was just enough of everything, though. It was a lot to eat, and I was unable to finish it all. The tomato cucumber salad was okay, I tend to not like my vegetables as marinated as they were, but it still had good taste. The biggest disappointment was the creme brulee. Don't get me wrong, it tasted amazing and came out perfectly bruleed! But it was the same price as the peanut butter pie, and was extremely misleading and how much was actually there. When looking at the dish it was served in, the entire bottom. Half of the dish was ceramic with a very narrow full to actually place anything in. In the end, I think I got about half the amount of creme that I expected. It did not feel like it was worth the money, so I would not recommend ordering it. That being said, we will definitely make a point of stopping here to eat on every trip in the future, though we might just both end up with peanut butter pie!!

Being a woodworker, if I could get these prices for my work I'd be retired. People are all friendly. Restaurant is ok. Overpriced. Definitely somewhere to stop as you go by.
