"Whiskey, Wings, and Pool Sharks: A Local Survival Guide"…read more If you find yourself in Elkins craving good food, cold drinks, and a side of character, roll on down to Whiskey River. The place is pure West Virginia charm with just the right mix of country grit and friendly mischief. The food? Fantastic. The wings are sauced like somebody back there actually cares, and the burgers taste like they've seen a grill before, not a microwave. But be warned: the real action happens at the pool tables. You might think, "I'll shoot a quick game while I wait on my fries." Next thing you know, you're three games deep against a guy named Buck who swears he's "rusty" but just ran the table faster than you can say cue ball. That's when you realize the fries were ready 20 minutes ago -- and you've just been hustled out of your dignity (and maybe a round of shots). Pro tip: If someone offers to "let you break," kindly decline and protect your pride. Order another beer, tip the bartender, and enjoy the show -- because watching the locals play pool here is better entertainment than half the stuff on TV. Whiskey River is one of those rare places where the food's hot, the folks are real, and the laughter's louder than the jukebox. Just remember: eat first, then play pool. You'll thank me later.

Arguably the most romantic dining in the Potomac Highlands…read more... Given 60 years of dining history in the Canaan Valley, we have experienced nearly all restaurants in Davis and Thomas, and yet we return several times to Hickory Dining Room. Service is outstanding, ambience is great, menu is about right, and the food is excellent. We enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at Hickory. Rib eyes are great, as is salmon, and several other choices... Perfect Date night with your wife, and she will delight in her choice. We have been lodging for years in a nearby condo, and Hickory is a great choice.

One of the coolest bar tenders - expert at the craft, and filled with energy. Feels like he really wanted me to enjoy myself, which is just a lost art in hosting / hospitality. The food was excellent, if a bit humble. It will feed ya. It will taste and look great. There will only be a few options on at a time. It will not me some giant platter, or some rare cut. But it will be expertly planned and prepared. The flavors were perfect. The presentation was beautiful. And I did not expect most of the dishes to be foreign or fusion! The chef, truly is someone special. It is, somehow, exactly the imaginary new American foodie place I imagine in my dreams. The ideal or the prototypical. Deeply aesthetic, with the lights and decor. And not understated, or clinical, which is hard to pull off. It definitely has a vibe, feeling intimate and lived in, while still being clean and pleasing. Cute garden out back for a few parties to enjoy the open air and the pleasing greenery.

I'd summarize Jimbo's menu as burgers, wings, and other chicken items. The menu isn't huge, but Jimbo's does they do WELL. I had a crispy chicken wrap and "chicken logs" (basically fried chicken bits in an egg roll wrap) and both were excellent. Prices for food and drink were reasonable. The draft list is decent with a mix of domestics and a few crafts from the local brewery. Service at the bar was top notch, atmosphere was great, and fellow patrons were most welcoming to a couple of out-of-towners. I will definitely be back!

I've been to The Fiddle more times than I'd like to admit, but tbh each time is more and more enjoyable. The vibes of this place are always 10/10, the food is always 10/10, and the music is always 11/10. I have had every single thing on their menu over the years and I have never had anything here that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. The same in regards to their vast beer selection. They always have something to quench your thirst, trust me! I have brought numerous people to this place since its opening and each person will still remind me of that great time we had here. I've came here during all seasons and all months and there isn't a bad time to enjoy some great music, some great food, some great coffee, some great ice cream, some great beers, some great hospitality, some great people and some great atmosphere. I stopped in recently with my gf while visiting a friend in the area and we enjoyed their amazing world peace wrap and a delicious locally sourced IPA and sour, and just like each time before, top notch! TBH, she still talks about that wrap which I have had myself personally at least 20-30 times over the years, as it's my go to. This is one of those gems that every small town wishes to have and while most businesses in Thomas come and go this one in particular has stood its ground and continues to be an amazing destination for all walks of life to enjoy. I can't thank the owner enough for bringing this place to Thomas many years ago because each time I walk through those beautiful old doors I know I am going to walk out of them with a smile on my face. Thank you Purple Fiddle Enjoy

Recommend to us by the folks who own the house we rented, we had never even heard of this place in…read moreOakland. And we've been to Oakland & Deep Creek annually for around 20 years! We arrived around 5:30 on a busy Thursday night. It's not a big place, and there were already 2 tables of 6+ people & several tables of 2-4. We actually got the last available table. It's worth the wait, but there was a long wait. I think there was only one person in the kitchen and they really had a hard time getting all the orders out for the two large group tables. However, our server was friendly and efficient, considering it was just her and one other server, waiting on everyone and doing the bartending. She replenished water often and got me a new beer whenever I needed one. She got our appetizer of onion petals out quickly, but then it was over an hour wait for our other food. We were a little disappointed that they were out of the pork rinds and they were also out of the elk burger tonight which were of the things we were looking forward to trying. The onion petals were very good. They did have elk sliders so my husband ordered those. We enjoyed them, more flavorful & not gamey like venison. I ordered a patty melt since I had not had one of those in ages. By the time our food arrived the bar was also full, but by now it was going on 7pm. So, we did enjoy our visit & liked all the food & we'd eat there again. Others would have been obviously bothered by the long wait for the food, but we were on vacation and we were not in a hurry. Despite being super busy our server was kind & didn't seem stressed out.
