I got really sick after I left there. Bad sick unfortunately. I won't go into details. Staff was…read morepleasant. Food looked good going down.

Visiting Hinton and looking for brunch on a Saturday morning, Kirk's was close by, on the river and…read morehad nice reviews. Bad move. We arrived at 10:56 AM. I was in the mood for some Biscuits & Gravy. We were informed they were out of that and were not making more. So I decided on Eggs over easy, Country Ham, Wheat toast and Grits. Then, because I don't find them often, I ordered Fried Green Tomatoes. My wife ordered the Breakfast Special with Eggs, Hash Browns, Sausage and Fried Apples. I also got a bottle of Apple Juice and water and my wife got Coffee. We sat down, enjoying the view and talking. And talked. And talked. Finally after 50 minutes our food came. It had obviously been sitting since all the food was cold. Had we not waited so long, we would have asked for a refund and left. And on top of that, the waitress forgot my Grits. She went back to get my Grits and came back 10 minutes later with hot Grits, but after I had finished the rest of my meal. Now this is a place that requires the payment and asks for a tip when you place the order, then food is brought out to you. I entered a 15% tip and would have also added more if service was good. Ok so in the future I will opt out of tip in advance. I know staffing is low in many places but that is no excuse for cold food and spotty service. The only reason for two stars is for the great views on screened in patio by the river. But we will not be back at Kirk's.

This place is...interesting, in a good way. When I was told I was going out of town for a work…read moreevent in West Virginia and this was the name of the place. I had no idea exactly what this place was. My colleague kept referring to it as just a Moose. And a lot of use know that means something else, more in lines with a bar. The person that invited us out to here for the event didn't give us much information about what we should expect. But I am happy I came here, because of how unique of a place this is. Most people would assume that this may be a place for ice cream and you'd be partially right. This place is a mix of things that you would not expect. First and foremost, it is a well used coffee shop. Even though there is a well known national competitor right up the road. There is a steady stream of vehicles in and out throughout the day. Inside, in the coffee portion of the space, it gives definite coffee shop vibes. Couches, armchairs, tables, books, magazines, etc. That coziness could be a big draw on a cold day. I had myself a chai tea latte from here and it was delicious. They are quick with their ordering process and making of the drink. What else is here you ask? Well, let me tell you. There is an ice cream parlor tucked away on the opposite side of the coffee shop. You can enter this through the coffee shop or from the outside entrance on the side of the building. This area, then leads you to another location on the lot. Putt-Putt. Behind the building, there is a miniature golf course built into the hillside. One that is West Virginian history themed. Another thing this place has is an indoor climbing wall. I didn't get a chance to check that out.

I've been here multiple times since moving to Beckley! I'm never disappointed! I don't drink…read morecoffee, but I always get the wraps and smoothies and they are always delicious! I love the chicken Caesar wrap! This is a fun place to come with friends to play games and just hang out. It's a fun unique coffee shop with delicious food!

This is overall a delightful little ice cream parlor and bakery. The interior while fine is a bit…read morenondescript but the ice cream and especially the baked goods are high quality. Baked goods on offer here often include cheesecake, a variety of cupcakes, some pies including some made from fruit from the local Morgan Orchard in Monroe County and even some homemade chocolate truffles. The staff is very friendly as well.

I have had two very different experiences here. The first one was on a Sunday night. The staff…read morewas young but friendly. My ice cream was a bit on the soupy side. It pretty much dripped all over everything, and we ate inside in the air conditioning. Nevertheless, it was good ice cream. I also took a cupcake to go. They put it in a plastic container that sqarshed the top of the cupcake. That was a bummer. When I did eat my cupcake, it was just okay. I have eaten many a cupcake in my lifetime (and it shows!), and these just weren't up there at the top of my list. They were still good. Just nothing to write home about. The second experience was tonight. An adult was working, and she was very friendly. I suspect she was the owner, although I didn't ask. I chose a different kind of ice cream. It was also a bit on the soft side. Maybe it had just gotten put in the freezer or something. It was very good though. We will most likely still come back here as we will be in the area for a while longer. They have good ice cream, and that's always a plus!
