This family-owned gem is all about delicious home cooking, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Every dish is made with love, from the perfectly seasoned comfort food classics to the mouthwatering homemade desserts. The service is just as amazing as the food--friendly, welcoming, and always making sure you leave with a full belly and a happy heart. I was pleased with the Wild Caught Salmon - cooked to perfection and not overly seasoned at all. My husband got the mouth watering Prime Rib. The sweet potato fries were off the charts divine and crispy. Check it out when you're in the area. You'll be glad you did.

I sat at the bar to order something to go and was greeted by a woman who clearly hated her life. She was irritated by my questions (such as vegetables that were not on the menu but on a board in the corner of the room, and what the soup was for the day), and stood there with a notepad staring at me until I just rush ordered something to be relieved of her hostile energy. In the end the food and service were nothing to write home about.

Such a quaint, country joint. We were welcomed by a full parking lot (great sign that the place is tasty) and folks swinging on wooden outdoor swings. Inside you will find half of the establishment is a food spot where you can order and dine in, while the other half is a store that you can purchase camping supplies, necessities, food, and souvenirs. I opted for the best sweet tea I ever tried and very filling hot dogs (we got the 2 for $9 special). The dogs are loaded with chili and cole slaw. Even though they look moderate in size, I was full after eating one thanks to all the toppings. Overall, such a warm pit stop, very close to Seneca and Nelson Rocks. We ended up coming back a second time. Highly recommend!

"Whiskey, Wings, and Pool Sharks: A Local Survival Guide"…read more If you find yourself in Elkins craving good food, cold drinks, and a side of character, roll on down to Whiskey River. The place is pure West Virginia charm with just the right mix of country grit and friendly mischief. The food? Fantastic. The wings are sauced like somebody back there actually cares, and the burgers taste like they've seen a grill before, not a microwave. But be warned: the real action happens at the pool tables. You might think, "I'll shoot a quick game while I wait on my fries." Next thing you know, you're three games deep against a guy named Buck who swears he's "rusty" but just ran the table faster than you can say cue ball. That's when you realize the fries were ready 20 minutes ago -- and you've just been hustled out of your dignity (and maybe a round of shots). Pro tip: If someone offers to "let you break," kindly decline and protect your pride. Order another beer, tip the bartender, and enjoy the show -- because watching the locals play pool here is better entertainment than half the stuff on TV. Whiskey River is one of those rare places where the food's hot, the folks are real, and the laughter's louder than the jukebox. Just remember: eat first, then play pool. You'll thank me later.

Amazing evening and meal at The Waterwheel…read more We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and grabbed a cocktail and mocktail in the super cute tiny pub bar. Loved the fresh flowers on the tables, and overall vibe of the place - small and intimate. Server invited us to visit the wine cellar, even if we weren't planning on a bottle. She let us know we can take any unfinished wine with us. The experience was super fun - the wine cellar room gives an up close look at the mill equipment. We enjoyed having memories sparked by different wine bottles, and ended up finding a half bottle that was perfect for the occasion. We started with the smoked trout and burrata. For entrees, pea ravioli and pork chop. All expertly prepared and tasty. We were treated to flourless chocolate torte for an anniversary dessert. Highly recommend!

While I'm usually someone who prefers structured tours, I really loved how relaxed the tour guide was. He was very young but knew just about everything I could have ever wanted to know about the caverns. (He mentioned one of his favorite things is exploring caves/caving/spelunking which told me he takes his job very seriously as he's clearly passionate about the subject.) After the tour, I spent some time in the gift shop buying goodies for my young nephews. They sell bags/buckets of sand/dirt full of gems and rocks! I bought 5 bags and I wish I would have bought more! I overheard them say they were shipping a bunch of bags to a women in another state, so I fully intend on giving them a call to see if I can get them to ship a few bags to me! (Fingers crossed.) Definitely wear shoes with great treads as the caverns can be slippery. I went to the Seneca Caverns last minute and was unprepared with tread-less Toms, but the tour guide did a great job of warning the group before we went into a slippery area and a great job of telling us exactly where to hold onto as we walked over the slick spots. If you listen to your guide, you'll be fine!

We also had two exceptional glasses of Chardonnay, and some beautiful cocktails. We enjoyed our evening. This is a great place for a special night out without needing to be fancy or fussy.

There was a heater, so we figured we could stand it. The hostess rearranged the tables to seat us close to the heater, and left menus. Soon a waitress came with water and took drink orders. Not long after she returned to take our food orders. While we were waiting for the food, someone brought us some warm blankets. All through our meal people kept checking to see whether we needed anything. It was the best service I have seen in a long time, and I arrange a bi-monthly lunch outing for a club I belong to. The food was delicious. The salmon sandwich was incredible, the burrata appetizer was to die for, and I wish everyone had such good French fries. Everyone enjoyed their food and the warm welcome from the staff on a not very warm day.

The building itself is nice and clean but they only have one table inside and no outdoor seating. We didn't mind though and turned it into a drive in experience eating in the car. The service was friendly and it being a locally owned small business was a huge plus. They take card and cash which was also nice. The hot dogs were fantastic and huge. I assumed I would eat 2 but only made it through 1.5 before getting full. We tried the Daredevil Dog which had the jalapeños and was good. The Sleepy Creek Slaw Dog had a really good chili and the coleslaw wasn't watery or soggy so it added a nice crunch. My favorite of the three we tried. The last was the New York dog which I did with sauerkraut and it was solid, not quite like the dog in manhattan which go heavier on the onion sauce but still very nice. The sweets were also really really good. We got two brownies which got devoured. The Dubai Sunday was very nice and they didn't skimp on the pistachio sauce. The Samoa sundae was also very good. All in all, we both really enjoyed this place and will be back. The food is affordable and tasty and the service is friendly.
