This place was a bit of a shock. For most of remote West Virginia restaurants mostly server the…read moresame boring Sysco or Gordon Foods...same hamburgers and wings and fried fish...they don't even try to hide the fact that it's not scratch made. So to actually find an authentic restaurant with good food in Durbin, WV of all places...I am still shocked by this meal. And the food cost is on par for the area. If you put this restaurant in Charleston with the same menu, it would be double to triple the prices. So not only is it good, it's inexpensive! The one thing I would have changed was my wing order...I had no idea each of these was battered in KFC like batter and deep fried. I'm fine with fried wings but I like them naked...not sure if that's an option but that's how I'd order them next time. Don't get me wrong...these were really really good...but the batter made them a huge huge meal instead of just a nice keto and protein option. I couldn't really taste the sauce, normally wings like this are swimming, so I had to ask for more and I believe it's homemade as well. My girlfriend got the steak salad and even the steak was different. They made the dressing in the restaurant and it was freaking fantastic. I didn't try it until I was done with my wings but if I had, I would have dipped my wings in this sweet honey flavored dressing. One of the boys got the seafood boil which was on special. He freaking loved it and couldn't eat it all. Of course he ate all of the shrimp and crab legs first. It was a really good price, cheaper than what you'd pay at the beach! The other boy got grilled chicken and corn and also didn't finish. I need to train these teens how to eat like a man. Service was great. We had two servers because she was training a new girl. There might have only been three in the entire restaurant but we were early enough that it wasn't crowded. Bar area was huge and stocked well. They even had Ole Smoky Moonshine which I've never seen in a bar. I really loved the map on the wall with photos of the historic towns. I've been to Wildell many times but haven't really seen many photos of it. Only one house remains there. There is nothing left of the town of Burner. We will definitely be riding the side by side down to eat here in the future. We got lucky and saw the diesel locomotive return with the castaway cabooses just before we had dinner.

Amazing evening and meal at The Waterwheel…read more We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and grabbed a cocktail and mocktail in the super cute tiny pub bar. Loved the fresh flowers on the tables, and overall vibe of the place - small and intimate. Server invited us to visit the wine cellar, even if we weren't planning on a bottle. She let us know we can take any unfinished wine with us. The experience was super fun - the wine cellar room gives an up close look at the mill equipment. We enjoyed having memories sparked by different wine bottles, and ended up finding a half bottle that was perfect for the occasion. We started with the smoked trout and burrata. For entrees, pea ravioli and pork chop. All expertly prepared and tasty. We were treated to flourless chocolate torte for an anniversary dessert. Highly recommend!

Outstanding farm-to-table dining in Snowshoe…read more For anyone visiting Snowshoe Mountain and hoping to find a truly elevated dining experience, Appalachia Kitchen stands apart. The concept is simple but well executed: locally sourced Appalachian ingredients, seasonal menus, and careful preparation. In an area where "upscale" dining often leans heavily on pricing instead of execution, Appalachia Kitchen focuses on what actually matters--quality, balance, and consistency. Highlights included: * A perfectly cooked filet paired with root vegetables and a rich, restrained sauce * Thoughtful plating without unnecessary theatrics * A wine list that complements the menu instead of competing with it * Attentive service that feels professional but relaxed One standout moment: the staff happily accommodated a custom French press paired with vanilla gelato and chocolate chips--a small detail, but one that shows how much pride they take in the guest experience. Snowshoe attracts visitors from across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and for many, this will be the memorable meal of their trip. If you're deciding where to spend your money for a special dinner, this is the restaurant that delivers on both quality and value. Appalachia Kitchen sets the benchmark for what higher-end dining in Snowshoe should be.

When we asked for a table, the host was not accommodating (and rather rude) and made it awkward with our table for five request, telling us that we should have called ahead because they don't like to put tables together. (The place wasn't even packed which made it even more strange.) It's cute inside- perfect for casual lunches / dinners and they have a decent bar.

Every time we go to the town of Weston, all of the business owners recommend to try this bistro…read more Finally after our fourth visit to Weston, we got to try it out for dinner. Featuring a simple and straightforward menu, we ordered the pepper, bacon, burger, and the fried chicken. The fried chicken was crispy and not greasy, and it was paired nicely with some mashed potatoes. We also had the bistro fries which featured Parmesan and garlic. Classic bread and homemade butter was also served. Our server Suzy was quite attentive and even went out of her way to ask the Kitchen to split plates for us. I would recommend a visit to dine here for anyone in the area. They also have a children's menu. The daily soup always changes and they're also offer a full bar where they serve great cocktails there's also a great selection of local beer.

Beautiful area to have a drink. Ordered the meatloaf with green bean almandine and potato purée and cinnamon Apple streusel cheesecake for dessert. Meatloaf tasted like Mom used to make. Slices were so moist and thick I didn't even finish one. Green bean almandine was seasoned to perfection. Potato purée was smooth with the right amounts or cheese blended in. Only words I can use to explain the cheesecake is absolutely delicious. . .crispy crust with the perfect amount of sweetness. Wish I had a cooler with me to take the leftovers home. Prices were very reasonable. Will eat here next time I'm passing thru!

This is not a speedy restaurant, but that is fine. The service was good, even though I think the server and cook were the only ones there. They were very good and helped each other.

The menu seems to be all over the place. I wouldn't call the cuisine any particular genre since there were items that categorically fall under "Mediterranean" as well as "Asian-fusion". Two things in particular that didn't make sense to me. The tofu on the Mediterranean bowl. Tofu marinated in soy sauce is not what comes to mind when I'm thinking of any country in the Mediterranean. Also, the tasting menu has an option for an entree choice of veal shank. I was informed there would be an upcharge since it's a pricier menu item, which is totally acceptable. What I was not prepared for was a giant cut of meat (it had to have been 10oz or more) with a huge bone still attached. The portion did not fit with a tasting menu. Luckily, my husband has the appetite of a small horse so he finished it.

My favorite restaurant in West Virginia, hands down!…read more Why? 1.) Their service is outstanding 2.) The location is outstanding 3.) Their food is outstanding After years of passing by this place and literally driving up to it a couple of times and wanting to go in, I never did. I don't know why. I guess I was saving it for the special night me and my girlfriend had here. It was an epic night in all-regards. It was a fall evening and we had reservations for 6:30 pm. It was a perfect time as the sun was starting to set and the temps were just right but the pole heater made it that much better. We started off with: - Big Timber IPA (me) - Dandelion Martini (gf) - House Bread and Butter (share) - Spread Plate (share) The beer is always my go to at local restaurants because it pairs well with any food. My girlfriend's martini was super tasty and she enjoyed it a lot. FYI: I love when local restaurants support local businesses like Big Timber. Good for you! The bread was freshly baked and I believe the butter is made in house. Very good! The spread plate consisted of three pates to which all were incredible but the smoked trout was our favorite. The cucumber salad and oils and herbs were very flavorful and paired excellent with the crostini's. I could eat this every day. Highly recommended. Our entrees: - Vegetarian Delight (me) - Striped Bass (gf) The vegetarian delight is one of my favorite dishes at any restaurant. It's the perfect mix of flavors and textures in one dish. The dumplings packed a punch of flavors, the soy garlic chili Korean rice omelet was superb, the aji panco miso was flavorful, the rice and vegetable croquets tasted like a little pocket of heaven, the poblano mayo added even more flavor to each bite I took and the jicama salad was excellent. I highly recommend you get this even if you're not vegetarian, it's that good, trust me! My girlfriend's striped bass was cooked to perfection. The tamarind chili sauce it was cook in was the perfect balance with the light flaky texture of the fish. Add the lemon ginger rice to each bite of fish for an umami explosion. Then add on top of that the garlic chips takes this dish over the top to flavor heaven. She loved it and so did I as I finished the remaining portion she couldn't finish. This place has so much to offer in all-regards to the interior and exterior. It's very clean and the staff are top notch. I wish we could have booked a room upstairs the night we ate here though because that would have made our night that much better, but every room was booked. We ended up stayed at a local place right over the hill because we wanted to celebrate and didn't want to drive far. Sadly the place we stayed at was horrible but this place took away from that experience and made us have a beautiful evening regardless. We are looking forward to coming back in the next couple months for a nice fall evening dinner and exploring your menu(possibly the six course tasting menu) and eating a wide variety of your seasonal appetizers, entrees, and deserts and having drinks on the patio to take in that view or in the bar area to enjoy conversation with locals. Thank you for the wonderful evening :) 6 Stars ;)
