Here's a more concise and balanced version for a three-star review: --- Decent BBQ, But Not Quite a Hidden Gem Lost Mountain BBQ is mostly a takeout stop, with a few outdoor tables under a roof if you want to eat on-site. The ribs are moist and tender, though the overly sweet sauce masks some of the meat's flavor. The pulled pork sandwich is solid, and the baked beans and coleslaw are respectable. read more

Always great food and service there I would give them an A++++. It's a must try if you haven't been there already..

This place is so good and so fast, I'm just glad we stopped for lunch! The mountaineer nachos are to die for. Split them with 3 people and it's still a whole meal. My son got a half rack of ribs and made us get him another order. True definition of fall off the bone. I hope to pass by here again so we can come back! read more

Pulled pork sandwiches were great, with lots of pork. Sides were awesome, with lots of choices. They even gave our birthday girl a free slice of red velvet cheesecake on an Oreo crust, which was delectable! read more

Friendly staff and decent prices. Casual outdoor seating. BBQ is overall good but my ribs were overcooked. Everyone else enjoyed theirs. Great place to stop if you're out in rural West Virginia. read more

I'll start by saying I'm not really one to leave written reviews. HOWEVER, I feel that I really had to let people know about this place. I am a pretty picky eater but I absolutely loved their BBQ food. The workers are extremely nice and funny. They definitely make you feel comfortable and were considerate when we ordered food to eat later by offering to deconstruct our sandwich so the bread wouldn't get soggy by the time we're ready to eat it for dinner. It's a small spot almost like a hole in the wall and can be easy to drive past if you're not paying attention. They do have signs out by the road though that help with that. The food came out pretty quick which was great for a quick bite before a long drive. The first time I came I had the Baltimore street loaded baked potato and it was so good and very filling. This second time I had my bf drive me 40min just to get some food from here. I had the pulled chicken sandwich and baked beans and Mac n cheese. It was super good! Honestly I feel like everything on this menu was pretty spot on. Price wise - it's definitely fairly priced for how much food you get and the quality of the food. I HIGHLY recommend trying this place out. read more

Food, service and ambiance- I love this place it is all good always friendly, food is always warm and the bbq's sauces are wonderful.

The food was delicious, I had a great pork sandwich with homemade peach barbecue sauce! Two disney activity books while I ate. The wait isn't long at all. Service and people are nice. The ambiance is great, old fashioned and big on country. read more

Worst pulled brisket(taste, quality and portion). Even after mentioning I was a first time customer! Won't be going back!

This place was so cute and cool. I'll be honest all I got was the apple cider slush but it was very good too.

Employees arguing using foul language "F U M F" creating a wonderful family atmosphere. Food offered on the menu not available. And to top it off, the BBQ was mediocre at best. Would not recommend and won't be going back. A mistake in stopping in the first place. read more

What a unique place! I ordered the Moorefield Baked Potato and it was amazing! A great combo of bbq and southwest flavors. The chicken was super flavorful and the potato was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the Pulled Chicken Burrito. Also delicious! We had fantastic service and it ended up being the perfect ending to a fall day in the mountains. Can't wait to go back! read more

We ordered takeout for four adults and this outfit did not dissapoint. The pork, chicken and brisket were all good and the sides-ESPECIALLY the green beans were good. The order was a few minutes late which they said was because they wanted to make sure the green beans were done right-and they were! Very reasonable prices. Outside rustic dining area has a charm to it-we didn't eat there but liked it- read more

Absolutely disappointed. The disrespect is immeasurable. If you're a fan of nursing home food or seven eleven then this is the place other than that save your money and just do it at home five times better easily. Waited over fifteen minutes for canned toppings and sides with regular steamed fish plus the "bbq" if you can even call it that was beyond subpar. Also never had sweet Mac n cheese before must be a Romney delicacy. Lame. read more

First drive-by I saw a police car and ambulance (and everyone knows cops & firemen know all the good food locations) ... second drive-by a full parking lot. Every shop in Romney, WV said go here for BBQ. A friendly greeter reviewed the menu with me. I ordered the 1/2 rack, smoked mac & cheese, & coleslaw. Generous portions and well seasoned. I had the pleasure of dining with the owner's father. He is well versed in the local history. Notice the hand crafted picnic tables and the todem pole. I highly recommend this small businees. I might be back for dinner. read more

Friendly service and delicious food! Gluten free friendly! The menu has a variety of options. Best food in Romney.

My favorite BBQ in Romney! Great family vibe, friendly staff, and small town feel. My favorite is the chicken wrap chipotle style! Check out their hilarious shirts too! read more

Really good BBQ. The portion sizes are great. Try the stuffed baked potato w everything. They stuff it w 3 meats, Mac and cheese, BBQ beans, cheese and cole slaw. It's delicious and you get to try some of everything on the menu. I took a star off because there is no indoor seating. On a hot summer day, be prepared to take it to go because it's too hot to eat hot food at their outdoor tables. They do have a fan out there. read more

Visiting friends locally and wanted some BBQ. Nice, small place with outside seating. Saw on their FB page they had a special of Pork Belly burnt ends. I wanted to try everything, so we ordered those, pork ribs, pulled pork and pulled brisket sandwiches, and at least one each of all the sides. Everything was great! All the meats were tender and juicy. The burnt ends were rendered down nicely and meaty for pork belly. Loved the ribs! Sandwiches were large with a lot of meat, sauced well. And the sauce overall had a very good flavor. The sides were huge! Each one enough for two to share. Loved the beans with large pieces of pork. Cole slaw was very creamy, which is the kind I prefer. Max and cheese was good, and I think has some BBQ sauce mixed in. Mashed potatoes were thick with some chunks, love the texture. Green beans were good, but maybe cook with some onions to bump it up a little? My friends will definitely be going back. When I am out again will definitely eat here again. Only issue is it would be nice if they provided paper plates to eat from. Especially when you have a lot of different things. But absolutely worth your time! read more

Excellent carry out service ! Ordered ahead and added to the order when we arrived. Josh and his staff are top notch. Parking lot was full. Minimal wait and away we went with our food. Arrived home to open our carry out to find the mouth watering pork loin. Not our first visit surely won't be our last. Well worth the drive to Romney. Fast friendly takeout service again! read more

Bbq and nachos two fantastic dishes almost everyone will agree on, now take those two dishes slam them together BOOM! Bbq nachos. You can try to recreate this at home, don't even try, you will fail and it won't taste good. Leave it to the professionals at Lost Mountain. Service is off the chain, friendly, fast, the owner has a great sense of humor, he's like the hairstyle "the mullet" business in the front party in the back. Knows how to be professional and run the best bbq place around, the cooks must wake up every day blessed by the bbq gods because I've never had bad food from here. Kids friendly, family friendly yada yada quit reading reviews and go there, you won't be disappointed, and if you are then I'm calling you a liar. read more

New name and location, same great food. The owner of 50 west BBQ moved across the street to a year round location. The BBQ is still outstanding. He serves pulled pork, brisket, chicken, and some weird stuff he makes up as he goes along. Some of his experiments are pretty tasty. One of my favorite dishes is the BBQ parfait. Its layers of your favorite BBQ and sides in a cup. It makes for a very convenient lunch. Well worth a stop or a trip. read more

Delicious bbq with Mac and cheese bowls. We tried the pulled pork and pulled chicken. The pork was definitely better. Not as much BBQ sauce as I would have liked (especially for the chicken which was a tad dry), and they charge extra for more sauce . Prices were a tad high for lunch but the serving size was generous. read more

I really thought their menu was inventive! I am picky about BBQ and think the meat should make you moan with its goodness, but this didn't. It was tender in my brisket burrito - get it with the Mac and cheese! And my husband couldn't finish his 3 meat baked potato. That was decent, but we both didn't love the nacho cheese in that. I would for sure stop again and try something else if I was driving by but would not make a special trip. Outdoor seating, typical order first window and nice service! read more

Great little roadside BBQ place in downtown Romney! Order at a window then they call your #! Covered Porch seating! Great rustic atmosphere, very clean & welcoming! Great prices! Food came out fast and was delicious! We both got a specialty potato! Bag felt like it weighed 20lbs! I had the Moorefeild Baker with pulled chicken, my husband had the Romney Mountain Masterpiece! So much food, we both only ate 1/4 of the potato! read more

Great BBQ with friendly staff. This is a little place in Romney,WV. Don't let the size scare you--- food is great, never disappoints.

The owner is engaging don't have high expectations I think you will enjoy it.I thought the baked beans had an odd taste maybe clove.The slaw is extra sweet nothing special and my pulled pork sandwich had very little meat on it mainly bun.I can't say I enjoyed any of it. read more

A nice family run local pit stop... very rustic, ,,,, In Romney WV ....outdoor seating, or will bring your food to your car... a barbecue, chili, nachos, etc... Really Good!!! Always stop to grab something as we travel from Cumberland to Winchester..Just found out they have another branch in downtown Cumberland with indoor and outdoor eating. read more

Best BBQ in the Area! Nice little spot along the road in Romney. The Original BBQ sauce is really good with the Ribs and Chicken. Can't wait to try the Baked Potatoes next time. Very friendly people also. Worth the trip!!! read more

An authentic taste of hearty rural meals without compromise. Orders are made with time and care that make you wonder why you ever ate packaged thawed restaurant food back in the city. So grab a chair, and enjoy the relaxing time. read more

Update: Owner sent an apology and very committed to fixing issues. I really think this was Just an off day. With a few tweaks to the sides and work with the gal at the window this will be a very successful business, especially since the ribs are great. I will be back! Cute place. The ribs were good but cold. The coleslaw was tasty. The Mac and cheese was dry, cold and tasted bad. Threw it away. No salt and pepper packets but a guy did bring us out a little cup of mixed salt/pepper which was nice. The girl at the window was not friendly. Had to ask her for some type of plate to eat the rack of ribs and sides on. There was a couple who was obviously new to the place. She set their food outside the window and didn't tell them it was there. It sat for a while before I told the couple it was there. The gal at the register should tell everyone where there food will be when ready. Not sure that I would go back - especially with the poor customer service. read more

Nice people but not very good pork BBQ. Two of us tried it and both agreed- it was bland and greasy. Almost completely lacking flavor. Sauce was ok but not great. Cole slaw bland also. Maybe other menu items are better. Cute place though, and seemed popular. I'm increasing my rating to a 3 b/c of the owner's conscientious response to my initial review. I'm convinced that I caught their BBQ pork on an off day, and the owner is addressing the problem. My bet is the BBQ is good usually - or else why would the crowds be there? read more

We were out looking at property and came across this location. They offer a variety of smoked foods, but we all opted for pulled pork. You can get whatever toppings you want on it, I opted for the sandwich with cole slaw and barbecue sauce of course. I haven't had a good pulled pork sandwich out in years and this one was amazing. Great pork flavor, well balanced barbecue sauce on a fresh bun. The hubs agreed! We also talked to Josh and he is amazing. Can't wait to find our new home and try more of their offerings! read more

Bbq good enough to slap yo mama, or at least to write home about. If they had indoor seating to escape the bugs it would get 5 stars. We had the pork mac and cheese bowl and the pork, slaw and baked beans parfait. Heaven in a cup. Fast and cheap. read more

I had the pork bbq sandwich. The meat is a little dry and it was luke warm. It did taste good, but not the best I have eaten. The service is great and the food comes rather quickly. read more

The BBQ nachos with pulled pork and original bbq sauce made my day. Just enough heat without being overpowering. The woman who took our order was friendly and very welcoming. I would totally come back for more. read more

I love this little joint! We so needed a new food place to go to and I am so glad they have found their own little home along Rt. 50. It is much easier to stop at then where they were originally located and its an incredibly cute place. The food is great - I get the pulled pork with slaw on it. The portions are huge. It's my new go to place. Everyone there is about as friendly as you can get. read more

We drove by and noticed the place. I'm always good with trying local BBQ spots. We ordered the Brisket, I had the Cole slaw and my buddy had the beans. Slaw was good but could have used a bit more flavor, I was told the beans were amazing! The Brisket was delicious! It was shredded, juicy and tender! The Carolina BBQ sauce is amazing! Portions could be a bit more but over all it was great food and I'll be back again! read more

Delicious!! First tried when my local family ordered for special occasions... YUM. Ordered when my daughter came to town...YUM.... Can't go wrong!! BBQ Ribs, pulled pork & chicken, Cole slaw, potato salad and green beans.... YUM... Will order again and again and again read more
