My girlfriend asked if they had any amber beer on tap. The server said yes and pointed out her suggestion so we ordered it. When it came to the table we tasted it and it clearly was not an amber beer. We looked up the brand online and found it was a pale ale. When we pointed her mistake out to the server they were dismissive and never offered to correct the mistake. Not the end of the world but if you bring the wrong beer you should swap it out for the correct product. The food itself was pretty good. Great ribs, side salad and loaded baked potato. The pulled beef was dry but still had a decent flavor.

We saw the advertisement for Monday wing night and decided to check it out for a quick snack! $9.99 for a dozen wings can't be beat. You can choose two flavors and I went with Buffalo and 14 karat (NC mustard sauce) with blue cheese dressing. Also couldn't resist the pretzels and cheese sauce which were amazing too! Crunchy outside with a pillowy inside. Rounded it out with the garden salad, which was fresh and quite substantial. Joslyn was our server and she was so sweet and attentive. I think she might have been on the new side, since I asked her what 14 karat was and she said she didn't know but would ask. Always the right answer :). She checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. Would definitely come back and try other menu items. We wished we had room for their rib eye, someone else got it and it was a massive plate of food. For $23!

Just Like How I Brew it Up…read more We're usually pretty good about having our spots to eat lined up when traveling but occasionally we'll have a "fuck it let's see where we end up" kinda day, and this was one of them. I literally spotted a wooden sign along the 19 advertising for Freefolk Brewery and--after seeing the positive Yelps--we headed straight there. Established in 2018, this is the OG location for Freefolk Brewing, which has since moved their brewing operations to larger digs in Hico, WV. But this location stands as a taproom for their suds, as well as operating a small kitchen. The Good: *Love the location in the middle of nowhere. Really captures the essence of WV. *Décor is also really great with lots of paintings, murals, and other fun things to discover indoors. *Great dog-friendly outdoor space that hosts live music on weekends. *Small but strong menu that leans heavily on Greek/Mediterranean grub. *Nine of their beers on-tap (they do have guest taps as well) that features everything from IPAs to gose's and even sours. *Service was friendly and fast *Fast-casual as you order at the counter, get a buzzer and then pick up your food when ready. *Baklava cheesecake was out-of-this-world great. I loved the crunch from the Filo dough and pistachios and the taste of the thick, rich honey. *Food was surprisingly very not bad. I enjoyed my Traditional Gyro and Greek Salad, and everyone else did, as well. Nothing spectacular, but nothing terrible, either. The Meh: *While a small menu is fine by me, it might limit certain pickier folks who aren't into Mediterranean food. The Ugly: *Remote location is great during the day but might be a lil' sus at night time if you smell what I'm cooking. TLDR: Great spot for some Greek bites and tasty suds.

A world-class gorge, a very mediocre company…read more We stayed mid-September during Gauley Fest, one of the biggest weekends of the year for this area. The New River Gorge is one of the great landscapes in America, and that's exactly why this stay was such a letdown. The staff: The people we dealt with, including the front desk, were helpful and friendly, and clearly working hard to paper over some corporate cracks. The servers at Smokey's were terrific. My complaints are with the company, not the folks stuck representing it. Multiple staff, including river guides, told us the company has been cutting benefits like food discounts, raising rents on site, and hiring foreign workers to replace West Virginians. Bold strategy for a brand that sells itself entirely on West Virginia and its people. The view: The resort's crown jewel is a sweeping view of the New River Gorge, and someone decided the fix for "too much natural beauty" was a swimming pool dropped right in the middle of it. Ancient rock and river, meet chlorine and pool chairs. Whoever greenlit it, management looked at millions of years of geology and thought, "needs a Marriott courtyard vibe." The cabin: We opened the door to a visible layer of dust, like the last guests left mid-2025 and nobody noticed. Then we were asked to clean up the cabin and take out our own trash before leaving. At these rates, I didn't realize I was also signing up as unpaid housekeeping staff. That's a corporate staffing decision, not something the front desk chose. Smokey's buffet: Photos attached, because words alone won't do it justice. Smokey's wasn't even open for dinner during Gauley Fest weekend, arguably the single busiest weekend of their year, so we had breakfast there instead. It was a parade of starchy, heavy, low-quality institutional food with almost nothing fresh or healthy in sight. The yogurt and "granola" were some of the saddest things I've ever put in my mouth, and I've eaten actual prison food that fared better. Bottom line: Come for the gorge and the rafting, and tip the staff who are doing their best with what corporate gives them, but book your bed elsewhere. That buffet food, quality-wise, belongs at Mount Olive prison. The difference is the people there don't get a choice. Here, you get to choose it, and pay resort prices for the privilege.

They moved a propane heater closer to our table, and made us very comfy. We loved the rustic outdoor seating environment. We could see that this would be a very cool place to hang out, have some good food, and enjoy some outdoor entertainment on a warm summer evening. Our server recommended the chicken sandwich with Gouda, bacon, onion, and garlic Mayo. I was not disappointed! It was seasoned well, hot, juicy, and had just the right blend of textures and flavors. Hubby ordered a beer, chips, and salsa. He said that the salsa tasted very fresh and flavorful. Overall, a really nice place...yummy food, enjoyable atmosphere, good service!
