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.

The wait can be 20-30 minutes during prime dinner hours, and the food wait can also be lengthy. Plan on enjoying a few hours here and don't be in a rush once you get here. Let's talk about the food. They have gluten free options and anything can be made gluten free according to the staff. They also have some vegetarian options. I love burgers, and honestly, it's hard to beat a handmade beyond smashburger. This restaurant currently does not offer another veggie substitute other than the Portobello mushroom. It was good, with the added goat cheese, but would have rather had a burger substitute with mushrooms added on top. The fries are great! Perfectly fried with golden crunch in every bite. The garlic aioli is the perfect dipping sauce. I ordered a ranch side as well and it's good, but the aioli is the best choice in my opinion. Great local restaurant with a burger for everyone.

The menu here runs deep on both burgers and beers, plenty of options if you want to build your own kind of monster, but I didn't need to look past that one. I stick to the patties and cheese myself, no bun, no fries, and even stripped down to just the meat, this burger was unbelievably flavorful and juicy. A full pound of beef done exactly right. The place has a casual sports-bar feel, easy to relax in, nothing fussy about it. Service was attentive and quick, no waiting around, no chasing anyone down for a refill. And for the size and quality of what showed up on the plate, the price felt like a genuine deal. I didn't walk away feeling like I overpaid for the portion. I didn't plan on writing a review when we sat down. That burger changed my mind. If I'm ever back through Barboursville, I'm going straight back to Oscar's, no hesitation.

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.

I ended up buying a sticker on the way out to remember the restaurant. We were just passing through town but if we are around again, I would definitely stop!
