Mac and cheese with meatballs
Tayler B.

First let me say our server Trinity was amazing. She made my birthday dinner very special we ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer and the candied peanuts in there were amazing. The Cesar salad was probably the best have ever had and my entree was the Mac and cheese and it was soooo good. My espresso martini (add baileys) was delicious! Highly recommend and will be back.

Everything was wonderful. From cocktails to dessert, the service was perfect and the food was delicious. I would highly highly recommend the bourbon meatballs with macaroni and cheese and collards. So good. Coconut cream cake for dessert was a light finish to the meal and as we were celebrating our 38th anniversary, we agreed it was better than any wedding cake we had ever eaten.

Commander's Cut
Sabrina C.

BLUF: Really tasty food, but be prepared for a crowded space and rough service. Food (4/5): Overall, the food is fantastic and full of delicious flavor. The cheesecake was a huge highlight! I was pretty let down by the Commander's Cut, as half of my steak was cartilage and just not edible. Also, if you order the crab dip with pretzels, just know the pretzels are already completely covered in the dip. I prefer them separate so they don't get soggy, so it wasn't a hit for me. Service (1/5): Service was definitely the low point of the night. Our waitress just seemed incredibly distracted and not quite listening. She brought over the wrong drink after nodding through our order, snatched my menu out of my hands, and brought us a completely wrong check at the end. Getting the right quantity and size of to-go boxes took a few tries, and she even scoffed and made a mocking comment about my leftovers. Ambiance (2/5): The inside of the restaurant is adorable but very cramped. We actually started at a table outside, but our waitress asked us to move inside because she couldn't handle the patio tables. Even inside, it seemed like too much for her to handle. We were seated so close to the next table that other servers had to squeeze between us to do their jobs. It is a cute spot, but definitely be ready for tight quarters! The one major plus for the location is the parking. There is a lot right down the street with plenty of spaces available.

If someone tells you to go visit Berkeley Springs, you should do it, and this is one of the reasons why. This adorable little restaurant served up some delicious food and cocktails, and had a staff that was so sparkling and friendly. It really made you realize that there's no excuse for poor service. Well, I will say one person was trying to argue us down that a baby wasn't a real person, (front of staff gentleman. Will, other than that, Trinity, the gentleman who I believe was a chef in the back (we didn't get his name), and even the owner Scott, were so kind and so welcoming to this amazing restaurant. But let's get into the food. We ordered three of the items off of the kids menu the Mac for the militia, the minute chicken tenders, and the sliders, all of which came with fries that seemed to be spiral flat fries that were sliced into individual slices, and seasoned to perfection. Absolutely amazing. The steak and cheese, which should always be cheesesteak, but I'll allow it, was good, but could've used a bit of of sauce and also came with those delicious fries. The winner was the Powderhorn Chop, which was a perfectly cooked pork chop, with a cherry Demi glaze, Parmesan risotto, and fresh and crisp green beans. The cherry bounce was their signature drink, and never in a million years would I have put bourbon and Prosecco together but here we are, and it was delicious. The space feels extremely well used, and not overly pretentious. Enjoy!!

I am so glad we found this spot. My old fashioned was one pf the best i have had. Dessert was amazing. We went for Mother's Day and treated ourselves to steak and cheesecake. I would love to come back and sit outdoors. It is a quaint apot, good food, hood service.

Recently arranged a large party here for my friends birthday and we sat in their outdoor seating area which has been winterized with sides and heaters. It was not cold at all! Our waiter was Dennis and he was fabulous.. attentive and so helpful. Our food came out pretty quickly and not many complaints on our end other than the steaks ordered were switched and a few got the wrong temps but still said it was delicious.. The portion sized of the chicken entrees varied which was disappointing as one may had smaller chicken pieces and the others were much fuller. The guests who had salmon said how delicious it was as well. Overall, everyone enjoyed themselves and said they would come back!

Salad, had them add grilled chicken to the salad, the chicken was perfect, well seasoned a very slight nice bit of heat to it!
Scott D.

I had the salad with grilled chicken, and the chicken was incredible--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Redcoat Daiquiri was fantastic, and I finished with the most delicious slice of cheesecake, beautifully presented and every bit as good as it looked. The food, drinks, and service were all outstanding. This was one of the highlights of my trip, and if I'm ever back in the area, I'll absolutely be back. Highly recommended!

Glazed pork chop

Proof on Washington is a charming, beautifully renovated old house with a lively bar on one side and a warm dining space on the other. The atmosphere was one of the best parts of the experience. The music was great, people were singing, and the whole place felt fun, relaxed, and like somewhere you genuinely want to spend time. The hostess was wonderful, and our server, Trinity, was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. She genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing, and that made the experience even better. We started with drinks at the table, and both were excellent. The Washington's Rebellion Cherry Bounce was memorable and very well done, and the house smoked old fashioned was also delicious. We then had the Roasted Brussels, and they were absolutely amazing. The combination of honey, balsamic glaze, candied pecans, and parmesan was outstanding. For the main course, I had the Powderhorn Chop, and the flavor was very good. My only critique is that it would have benefited from a stronger sear and a bit more crust on the outside. A little more Maillard reaction, that browning of proteins and sugars that creates deeper savory complexity, would have elevated it even further. We also had a salmon special that evening, and that was outstanding. Dessert was another highlight, especially the warm pecan bourbon pie with ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. Service was a major strength. In addition to Trinity being so warm and attentive, other staff members, including management, came by to make sure everything was going well. We also appreciated that they offer a military discount. This was our first time here, and so far it is the best restaurant we have tried in the Berkeley Springs area. We were told they are expanding, and we are already looking forward to coming back, especially if outdoor seating is added in the future. This feels like exactly the kind of place we will return to often, especially when friends come to visit.

Proof on Washington is a great place to indulge yourself. The offerings of whiskey are exceptional. Our bartender was great. I picked out a hard to find rye whiskey and asked for his recommendations on how to serve it in a cocktail. He delivered. Wife enjoyed a refreshing mocktail. Food menu is small by comparison. We got a strange appetizer, but the steak and the pork entree are excellent.

Pork belly tacos
Robert A.

Everything here was not good but excellent! The service, the food, the ambience and their signature cocktails are all things that they should be very proud of. The owner Scott and the bartender Will were very pleasant and you can tell they enjoy what they do. Make sure to make this one of your stops. You will not be disappointed especially if you are a bourbon person. Also there are 2 air b and b's upstairs.

We were in Bedford for 9/11 and saw Whiskey River on the list supplied by the hotel. After reading…read morethe reviews on Yelp we decided to give it a try. Our server, Angie, was very personable and attentive. The have a fairly good selection of beers, that makes for a good meal. Their menu is extensive so there was a nice selection to choose from for our party of 6. I don't remember what everyone ordered, but my wife had the Fish sandwich and I had the Philly Cheesesteak - both were excellent. Ross enjoyed his Fish sandwich as well. This is a very nice, small town pub with a welcoming vibe. Since they have only been open for about 2 years the place still has that "new" appearance. they offer outside dining but the dining area is quite nice. In the back room they have a pool table and I think Iremember a service bar as well. We have been coming to Bedford for 24 years and this is a great addition to the restaurant offerings, especially when you only need a cold beer and a great sandwich. Ross liked the place so much he came back the next day! We will definitely return the next time we are in Bedford.

Decided to take a drive to Bedford and try for a first time The Whiskey River Pub. When we entered…read morethe pub, a young lady greeted us and directed us to a line of small tables for two. I politely requested if we may be seated at a larger 4 person table. The young lady stood there silent for what felt like a whole minute then said ok. Once we were seated, the same young lady said, "I don't seat two people at a table for four. And if we get busy I'll have to move you to a smaller table for two". Yikes. What a strange way to greet guests. Soon our server Kelsey arrived to take our drink orders. Once she brought our drinks we had time to look over the menu and make our choices. We chose a Philly Cheesesteak and Reuben with a cup of loaded potato soup and cup of chili. The soup and chili arrived with our sandwiches soon. Both soup and chili were good and both sandwiches were also good. Our server was nice and friendly.

My wife and I had dinner at 1794 The Whiskey Rebellion while we were in Carlisle for Corvettes at…read moreCarlisle. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. I started with a 1794 Old Fashioned, which was good enough that I had a second one with dinner. My wife had a Pinot Noir. I had originally planned on ordering the 14 oz. bone-in ribeye, but after seeing that prime rib was offered as a Friday and Saturday special, I decided to try the Molly Pitcher English-cut prime rib prepared 1794 style with the extra grilling. Unfortunately, about five minutes after ordering, I was told they had sold out. I went back to my original choice of the ribeye, ordered medium rare, with Yukon Smash and the seasonal vegetable, which that evening was corn on the cob. The ribeye was tender and flavorful and cooked the way I wanted it. My wife had the chicken pot pie and enjoyed it, although she thought it could have used a little more butter. Desserts are presented verbally rather than on a printed menu. I had the bourbon apple blondie while my wife chose the skillet cookie, which was topped with ice cream and chocolate drizzle. Both were very good. The restaurant is located inside the Comfort Inn and literally occupies the same space where the hotel's breakfast is served each morning. From our table I could even see the small refrigerator used for the breakfast yogurts, so the setting doesn't provide quite the same atmosphere as a standalone restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and I would consider returning when we're back for Corvettes at Carlisle next year. I'd probably make an earlier reservation next time so I could finally try the prime rib.

The mashed potatoes were delicious - great flavor and taste. I'm not even a gravy fan but I wanted more. The steaks were cooked to our liking and flavored well. Would return for a nice dinner again!

We were out on the motorcycles today and needed lunch. I figured just park and wander around until…read moresomething struck our fancy. We happened to park right across the street from this place. Looked at the menu and decided this was the place. We ordered the Imperial Crab Balls to start. They were perfectly cooked and loaded with real crab, sitting on top of toasted baguette rounds. Then we ordered the Shrimp Salad with Bacon sub. Roll nicely toasted, tons of shrimp, bacon with lettuce and tomato. It was almost like a po' boy, except the shrimp were sautéed not fried. And the garlic truffle potato chips! I would eat a whole bag of those gems. Our server was top notch and the ambience was perfectly funky. We will be back, next time with our whole crew!

The Naked Olive Lounge in Berkeley Springs has a lot of character, which already puts it ahead of…read moremany places trying very hard to have character and mostly achieving exposed brick. The space has a cozy, slightly speakeasy feel, with plenty of seating at the bar and tables for dinner. The music area is separate from the bar and dining area where we sat, which makes the layout feel lively without having the music sit directly on top of your entrée. There is also a related shop next door, The Naked Olive, where you can buy olive oils, balsamics, tapenades, and other dangerous things you convince yourself are "for later." By the time we were leaving early Saturday evening, they were getting ready for live music, which added to the local, come-stay-awhile feel. We started with a classic martini, and it was excellent. Perfectly balanced, cold, briny, slightly sweet, and served with blue cheese olives. A proper martini is not just a drink, it is a small personality test. We also tried the monthly special, the Dirty Devil, which I believe had bourbon, Coke, and salted caramel. It was good, but the classic martini was the clear winner for me. Service was friendly and helpful. I believe our server was James, and he helped us work through the menu without making us feel like we were preparing for a graduate seminar in small plates. They also honored us with a military discount, which I sincerely appreciated. Food wise, we ordered the Truffled Mushroom Pizza, which was genuinely good, with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and mozzarella. My only note is that the truffle was very subtle, maybe attending more in spirit than in full costume, but the pizza itself worked and I enjoyed it. We also had the Chicken Chesapeake, a sous vide chicken breast topped with crab and Chesapeake sauce. It came with a house salad and house vinaigrette, which was standard but good. As chicken breast goes, the entrée was well cooked, tender, and nicely finished. The crab and seasoning gave it some personality, which chicken breast often desperately needs. The mashed potatoes were hearty and solid. The vegetable du jour was the one underwhelming part of the meal; I am still not entirely sure what it was, and I do not think it was sure either. Overall, I enjoyed The Naked Olive Lounge. It may not be in my top three Berkeley Springs restaurants thus far, but it is definitely a solid entry in the local rotation. The ambiance is warm, the layout is comfortable, the service is friendly, the martinis are legitimately excellent, and the food is good, even if a few details could be stronger. The price point was reasonable, and I would happily come back, especially for a classic martini and live music.
