Burger and fries
Bailey B.

We visited for lunch while exploring the New River Gorge area while on vacation. This little restaurant is located inside a general store, though to me it reminds me more of a combination souvenir shop/ranger station! Lol. It's cute inside and they do have some basic dry goods, snacks, and refrigerated beverages. The souvenir / gift selection is quite cute, especially if you like kinda funky/quirky critters and phrases. It took some willpower on my part to not buy anything extra! Parking is a little limited and backing up onto the main road is a little nerve wracking but we ultimately didn't have any troubles. The store has a super nice patio where we sat to eat. It's well-covered, as a rainstorm blew in but we still stayed dry! Both my parents and husband both ordered the special of the day: two West Virginia style hot dogs and chips. A WV hot dog comes with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. I love regional variations on food! This one didn't disappoint; although my mom was at first reticent to try the chili/slaw combo, even she wound up loving it! Great quality dog as well. I ordered a burger with crinkle cut fries for myself. The burger was very large and I liked the bun it was served on. It had a chargrilled flavor which isn't my absolute favorite but I still enjoyed it overall. The fries were pretty standard. I wanted a sweet tea to drink but I didn't like theirs on first sip -- too much lemon. I dumped it out and got a Coke instead. Overall, pretty solid food! The service was very pleasant at the walk-up counter and even entertained my extra-chatty and curious dad, lol. Hubs and I got two pepperoni rolls to go for a snack for later since we didn't want to leave WV without trying one. The yeast roll was delicious and the pepperoni was slightly spicy and very savory. Nice combo! Stop by and say hello and grab a snack if you're nearby! They serve breakfast all day, too. :)

My favorite place in the world. Delicious food, very reasonable prices, and the nicest dang people you've ever met. Get yourself a stack of blueberry pancakes and a coffee and take in the smells of WV on the front porch. Nothing better.

This was one the best hot dogs that I have ever had, West Virginia dog with all the toppings. The cookies were made fresh. The clerk on the morning of 7-16-25 around 10:30am was very friendly and working hard. They also have a location in downtown Charleston. It is just a 5 minute drive from the New River Gorge Bridge to this location.

Amazing service, tremendous ownership, and the BEST pepperoni rolls. Would highly recommend the hot dogs and fries as well. 5 stars!!!

We have traveled through New River Gorge so many times and never made the stop, but this trip was different. (More to come) But after quick research we came across Swiftwater General Store. The reviews were great, but truly they don't begin to show how amazing it is. It truly is like a modern day general store. Simple but amazing. When we walked in the general manager greeted us with the biggest smile. He suggested the brisket sandwich that was smoked for 18 hours. It was DELISH!!! We got a couple hot dogs, fries, pasta salad, and these incredible cookies from this wonderful place. We have made so many stops, but this one had my heart. It's what restaurants should be. Food done well and the staff that are just good people. He didn't mind our crazy and the kids steam rolling on it. He made us feel like we were at home and it was one of the best meals we have had out in ages. Those cookies just made the last leg of the trip the best! If you visit New River Gorge area don't miss it!!!

Cool little place just off 19 to grab a meal, some basic supplies for your outdoor adventures, or souvenirs. Seating inside is limited, but you can eat outside or take your food to go. Prices are reasonable, and the wait was not long, although we were admittedly the only customers in the store. We ordered pancakes with bacon and a big breakfast platter with an extra biscuit, and it was way more food than our family of four could eat.

West Virginia style dog

Fantastic breakfast burritos to get some fuel for a morning of climbing in the gorges. The hot dogs are really really good love the WV style dogs

A really nice friendly little general store. Plus, they have a limited menu but the hot dogs were probably the best I've ever eaten. A buttered, toasted bun.... Who would've thought that? Absolutely a must stop!

Well, if you're here reading this you likely also made the mistake of not stopping earlier. Can…read moreconfirm Wildcat is the only food market within an hour + radius. We brought some food up from home, but stopped here to get a few things to get us through the weekend. Wildcat is definitely more of a convience store than a grocery market. The options were limited, but there's definitely enough to get you by! (Granted if you're a vegetarian that's a different story). Pricing is definitely expensive, but what really got me was that there's no prices on the items in the store!! Nor can you see the cost per item when they're ringing you up. Had I not read these reviews I def would've had more sticker shock when it came time to check out. The last review outlining what the store had in stock is a bit dated so I'll update yall who are reading this in 2024 - this is a list of what I remember seeing - Fridge items: Meats (chicken, ground beef, steak, etc), milk, creamer, eggs, sliced turkey/ham, sliced cheese, yogurt, soda, juice, & beer (have beer den) Frozen items: frozen pizzas, pizza bites, pot pies, meatballs, broccoli, green beans, other frozen/steam veggies, chicken/veggie pasta options Shelf items: lots of chips/snacks, bread (white and honey wheat), pasta sauce, pasta, soups, ramen, on/jelly/nutella, etc

If you're staying at the mountain for a week and plan on cooking most of your meals, I would highly…read morerecommend you shop at an actual grocery store before getting to Snowshoe (at least 1.5 hours away), and not expect to do a lot of it here at Wildcat Provisions. It is closer to being a convenience store than it is to being a grocery store. What I wished somebody else would've done in other reviews before I came here was to list some of the items to be found here, so that's what I'm doing now-- There is hardly any fresh produce. What was there was: oranges, bananas, blueberries, apples, avocado (presliced and sealed), peppers, tomatoes, baby carrots, lemons/lime. There are eggs, but they are $4 a dozen. There's butter, cheese (no fancy cheese to go with wine, though), milk, yogurt, some meat (pork chops, chicken breasts, NY strip steak, bacon, bologna). There's a variety of ice cream. For pantry items: an assortment of chips and snacks, oatmeal, canned beans and other canned items. I was not impressed with the bread selection (lots of white and some honey wheat). There's bagels, but its $7.50 for a bag. There's stuff for baking- sugar, flour, etc. There's wine and beer, like others have mentioned. I was hoping for some fresh local goods, like pies or breads, but there's none of that to be found here. There are also some basic items you find in convenience stores- toiletries, plastic plates and utensils, toilet paper, paper towels, foil, plastic wrap, ziploc bags.
