    Parkway Drive in is a staple of southern West Virginia…read more Slaw dogs? Got em. Home-made chili sauce? Got it. Liver and onions? Yep, got it, too. I have a lot of wonderful memories tied to this place. Back not too long ago, this was a curb-hop service, where ladies came out, took your order, and hooked a tray onto your car window with all the goods. Lots of memories of my Grandmother taking me here in her old dark blue Monte Carlo (The car with ash trays still built into the doors). There's a lot more items added to the menu, but my go-to's are still the slaw dogs and fries. West Virginia slaw dogs are hotdogs topped with coney sauce, minced coleslaw, and mustard. Delicious. Nobody makes them better. Nobody. My brother and I stopped here shortly after we buried my Grandmother to relive some nostalgia from our childhood and dedicate one more Parkway dog to her. Our server was attentive, and very kind. We were a little scatter brained, so I appreciated her patience. The building has changed a little, and it now has indoor seating, but it's still the same old food. By the way, the mozzarella sticks here are amazing. I don't know what else they deep fry in their grease, but the sticks came out with a hint of sweetness to them, almost like they were hand battered in donut mix. It was a delight to the taste-buds. Thank-you, Parkway for the wonderful memories. You're not fancy, gimmicky, and may not even be the best in the state, but you're still great in my books.

    Food is very good. Not pricey. Definitely a locals favorite. People here are very friendly and…read moreinviting.

    Excellent service from Skyler, delicious food and clean restrooms at the Wooden Pickle. My sweetie…read morehad their famous mahi mahi street tacos, a messy delight, and I had the portobello panini sandwich, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and very tasty. To go with it, I subbed a salad instead of fries, and for a small up-charge, I had a half of their pear and blue salad sans the bacon. It was so good! I want to go back for a whole salad and try one of their flatbreads to go with it, so I can bring some leftovers home for lunch the next day. Now, if they had a cocktail offering with a product from the nearby distiller, I would have made him be designated instead of me.

    It's clearly a busy place. "Wait to be seated" suggests…read morethey'll at least acknowledge your arrival. Nope. Waited a bit. Again busy, but not okay. Servers walked round us several times before acknowledging we were there. Okay to wait for a table, but when the table becomes open, acknowledge us and let us sit, rather than continuing to make us wait. We were seated and waited again before given menus and cutlery. A couple sat down several minutes after us and were given cutlery and menus. I get different waitresses have different tables, but a table who arrives first should be served first. And yup, they got their food before we did. Food was disappointing. Fries were warm. Crab cake sandwich (with shrimp) lacked flavor, and tasted like a crispy potato cake. Buffalo chicken sandwich should not be kids chicken tenders toasted in sauce falling out of the sandwich. Burger was overcooked and dry. The bathroom needs a clean. Slippery floors, cracked tiles that feel like you're going to fall through the floor. Around disappointed
