The local high school in Elkview, WV (formerly Clendenin, WV) is Herbert Hoover High School and…read moretheir mascot is the Husky. The Husky Den is a locally owned restaurant operated by Billy Wehrle, a Big Chimney, Elk River born and raised resident, and a huge supporter of HHHS sports for several decades. The interior of the newly opened restaurant is filled with memorabilia and artifacts from the new and old school. According to their Facebook page they have one goal, to become the #1 place for West Virginia style hot dogs in the state. I've eaten a lot of WV hotdogs at a lot of places all over the state, including the formally ranked #2 hot dog at Yokums near Seneca Rocks. The Husky Den puts up a really good fight with their hot dogs and they definitely belong right there at the top. This place is definitely worth the stop if you love West Virginia style hot dogs. The menu is ever evolving and they focus on locally sourced food such as using local beef and vegetables when possible. The restaurant has revived local classics that no longer exist such as the Larry Maynor Blue Creek Special which was a sandwich served to high school students at a local convenience store that was open for decades but was lost when Maynors closed. The prices are really great and affordable for all, aimed at being available and within reach of the high school students located nearby. The inside is quite small but the staff are well trained and move orders quickly. There is a really nice outside eating area adjacent to the restaurant and there is parking in front of and behind the building. Since the Clendenin Dairy Queen closed there was no where on the Elk River that you could get a proper WV dog until now. Stop in and support a local business that supports the local school and students.

If you've been searching the world for *the* perfect Reuben sandwich, stop. Put down your passport…read more Cancel your food pilgrimage. Because the greatest Reuben of all time isn't hiding in some upscale deli in New York or tucked away in a quaint European bistro. No, it's right here in Elkview, WV--at The Husky Den. I don't know what kind of wizardry they're working with in that kitchen, but their Reuben is *transcendent*. The corned beef is piled high, juicy enough to make a grown man weep. The Swiss cheese melts like it's been blessed by the culinary gods, and the sauerkraut? Perfection. But let's talk about the bread--crispy, golden, with just the right crunch, like it was toasted by angels. And don't get me started on the ratio. Some places drown their Reubens in dressing like they're trying to hide something. But The Husky Den? They understand balance. Every bite is a harmonious symphony of flavors, an edible masterpiece that could bring international peace if only world leaders would sit down and try it. Long story short--if you love food, you owe it to yourself to make the pilgrimage to Elkview and order this Reuben. Just prepare to have all other sandwiches ruined for you forever.

Yesterday, I decided to stop by Huskey's in Charleston for lunch. I hadn't been there in several…read moreyears. I used to love this place and the little girl who always took your order was so adorable. When I was getting out of my car, I joked to myself, "That little girl is probably 35 with a mortgage now." When I walked in, it was if time had stood still. Yet another generation of young children taking your order with such efficiency and professionalism. I, personally, think this is wonderful. When my son was that age, he couldn't do the things that these kids do. The little boy who took my order rocked. I got two English dogs, an order of fried mushrooms, and a large drink for $14. They give you TWELVE fried mushrooms by the way. How many other restaurants give you that many? I was tickled to death that their menu hadn't changed because I was always a huge fan. The hot dogs were beautiful displayed and the buns were perfectly buttered. The chili was flavorful and the slaw was so sweet and fine. I savored every bite. Huskey's has good, tasty hot dogs - plain and simple. Nice, clean, not sloppy. You're not gonna have to worry about getting more chili on your blouse than in your mouth. It's just a quiet, family-vibe experience and, sometimes, that is exactly what you need on a Friday afternoon. As I got up, full-bellied, I spotted a young lady out of the corner of my eye. I'd like to think it was the little girl who always took my order years ago. And she still looked pretty young, which made me feel better about time and feel not so Crypt Keeperish...like I'm the Hot Dog Crypt Keeper or something.

I saw this one Yelp and loved that it was locally owned and focuses primarily on hot dogs and similar foods. Although they also put ketchup on their WV dogs, we opted for them without and they were by far our favorite!! Located on what appears to be a main drag of town, it's unassuming but also spacious if someone wants to sit and eat. The people who run it are super friendly, accommodating, and happy to help - something that's truly hard to come by in Florida. As for the food, it was SO good! We ordered 12 WV hot dogs, 1/2 regular and 1/2 with the Cole slaw on the side for better leftovers. Not only were they delicious, but they were happy to put the Cole slaw on the side so they made great leftovers too! We also tried the corn dogs, fries, onion rings, and fried bologna sandwich (another WV staple we are trying everywhere we can). The corn dogs were corn dogs and the fries were okay (we had gotten them for the kids), but the onion rings were very tasty and the fried bologna sandwich was amazing!! Their sauce is both slightly sweet but also has a nice kick - almost like Arby's sauce with some spice, and we all loved it! We have since tried 2 other bologna sandwiches and 3 other WV hot dogs and none have been as good as Bammy's so far! They definitely know how to do WV comfort food! If you ever find yourself in NW WV, you've got to try this place! E

It doesn't move at lightning speed, but the staff keeps things churning along steadily. It is great to see a crew of local teens working hard and managing the rush. The menu hits the spot. My daughter went for the Kayak's Dream Shake--a solid mix of banana, strawberry, and blueberry. I ordered the Diver Shake with banana, chocolate, and peanut butter, and it was exactly what I wanted. For the food, the hot dogs are on the thinner side, but they serve them on a properly toasted bun. The burgers have excellent flavor, and the French fries are golden, crispy, and salted to perfection. My son tried the pepperoni roll; he thought it was okay, but not great. The vibe is great, vacation home run with a large roadside stand. Covered seating and picnic tables, corn hole, super size jenga and connect four.
