I drove just a little over 1.5 hrs to Oak Hill, WV from Ripley, WV to meet with my cousin, Shari…read moreBush Parsons for lunch. Since she lives in the area, I had her chose our lunch location and to my surprise, she chose a restaurant new for us both!!
Mandabee's at 113 Main Street in Oak Hill was an absolute treasure!! On street parking, but bith of us found spots easily.
The interior is gorgeous including the vintage tin ceiling that we both forgot to photograph. The dining area is elevated on 2 levels to take full advantage of the high ceilings and ample space inside the building! Great use of a older building in the Oak Hill area!!
Shari ordered the Black and Blue Sliders with Fries and sweet tea and I went with a Grilled Chicken Mediterranean Protein Bowl and water w Lemon!! While waiting, we dove straight into conversation topics of our recent Florida vacation, our personal relationships and upcoming holiday plans...fully enjoying our time together!! The waitress, so very friendly and I'm so horrible I forgot her name, but definitely not her warm smile, brought our food! We dove right in after taking our pics and the ohs and ahs of how delicious it all looked!! Everyone knows, sight is about 50% of whether you are going to enjoy the meal!
About 10 minutes into the meal, I made mention that I got rice instead of lettuce, a different sauce and a few items replacing some items I thought was in my bowl. Shari noticed she had Sweet Potato Fries instead of regular fries, but we both agreed our meals were perfect and we were very satisfied with the changes!! Never once slowing down on conversations or eating!!
The waitress walked up with additional food and said, "Sorry Ladies, but I brought you that food and this is actually your original order! I'm so sorry for the mix-up!" and we all laughed! Shari said, "Well, we really like the food you gave us and are very happy with it!" The waitress smiled, "I'm so glad. Again so very sorry" and took the other food back.
I felt bad that the food we ordered might go to waste, but the food we were given was terrific and we were both more than pleased!!
I definitely highly recommend Mandabee's in Oak Hill on Main Street. A great example of you can't go wrong with whatever you order there! It's all good!! My order was still a grilled chicken protein bowl w a Yum Yum Sauce, rice, Tomatoes, Red Onions, Bacon bits and avocado.....devine!! Shari received an Italian Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries...again we never noticed we were deep into enjoying each other's company!! We laughed and joked "Next time, let's tell the waitress to surprise us" and we will let her chose our meal!!
I can't wait until our next dining adventure!! Great job Mandabee's and your waitress is the bomb!!
10 out of 5 stars on my Yelp and Google review!!
