"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.

We ordered online for pickup. First, there is no option to say you want your burger, we'll,…read moremedium, etc. Upon arrival, my daughter inquired if the burgers were well done. The young man who was helping said, they could be put back on the grill to make sure. He was very nice about it. The cook, however, was quite obviously unhappy and let my daughter know, very rudely and abrasively that they would just have to be remade because the burgers were falling apart. I will not go back to Avenue Eats. A simple question by a customer should not be answered with such unprofessional anger. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the food was decent and the first employee we came in contact with was professional and courteous.​
