Black Circle Bistro in Beckley, WV just keeps proving it wasn't a fluke…read more Last time, I raved about an amazing server and true ambassador of the place named Jace. So naturally I wondered... could there possibly be more where that came from? Why yes -- Tyler is her name, and she was absolutely phenomenal Handling a surprise, out-of-nowhere busy night solo, and doing it with grace, warmth, and hustle. Meanwhile, the Queens in the back -- Stella and Sarah -- worked their magic and made me something special tonight aptly named "The Queen": the Bistro's take on a classic French dip And for context... I've eaten more French dips than I can count, including the Real Deal from Philippe The Original in LA. This one? Really good. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully dressed with veggies, fantastic local bread, and as always... THOSE CHIPS. Add a side of the onion dip and honestly -- my God so good. Thank you again, Black Circle Bistro, for another unforgettable trip through the menu. Many more to come. (And yes, I didn't take photos -- I know, I'm the worst. They absolutely deserved them )

I was surprised to find it in the same building as a Dollar General. We ordered firecracker shrimp as a starter and Michele got the Chicken Parmesan with a side salad and I ordered a Porketta sandwich, which is marinaded pork tenderloin, with a side salad and BC dressing. The server was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was nicely decorated and seems very casual.

RRR tried the chicken lettuce wrap and loved it. I tried a bite of the chicken mixture and it was really great. The Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding was just too tempting so that had to be tasted. Delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Everything was hard as a brick, both burgers & the hush puppies. The cookout style burger I ordered was disgusting, it's usually good, but I guess someone was feeling lazy. There was no chili on it & Im pretty sure they tried to hide that fact by adding more slaw. Anyway, my advice is to go before 9pm. If you don't, you're risking a major 4am blowout. It's Beckley, Im sure most are stopped up, so I suggest Cookout after 9 if you need a colon cleanse. That's all.

Little Sicily - A Mediterranean Hug After a Long Day on the Trails…read more After hiking all day, stumbling upon Little Sicily felt like the universe handing us a tiny edible gift. Beckley surprised us once again, this spot turned out to be such a delicious treasure that we kept coming back like well-trained food pilgrims. The food was fantastic. Truly. Some of the best chicken shawarma, hummus, and tabouli I've had in ages, fresh, flavorful, and made with clear love. The kind of meal that makes your tired hiking muscles perk up and whisper, "Oh yes, this is the good life." Service was friendly, warm, and helpful with recommendations, the kind of staff who genuinely wants you to enjoy what you order. Honestly, I found myself wishing we had a place like this back home so I could grab big platters for a party and impress everyone without lifting a finger. A traveler can dream. A great little spot, comforting and delicious, exactly what you hope to find when you're hungry, tired, and ready to be fed well.

The craft area of handcrafted merchandise has become not as sophisticated and high end workmanship. I noticed that change the last time I stopped through so that was disappointing. I used to often browse for gifts but that time nothing much to see. But on to my main thing -- the food. I'm actually heartbroken that now it's not in any way what it was. I learned that a few years back The Greenbrier Hotel stopped operating the dining room. And it shows -- they have remodeled and added tables. You no longer go through the cafeteria w the chance to see the grill and the food. And the food is pretty low to average score. The fried green tomatoes used to be pan cook w cornmeal and now battered and deep fried -- terrible the vegetable plate used to be amazing but barely edible. The cornbread used to be a large tender square delish but now a couple of tasteless muffins. My plate was served quickly and the food was barely warm. My friend's meal was very average, the salmon. The other was the soup and a side vegetable. Again average. I'm not sure why they lost The Greenbrier but it's not worth the cost. Still a nice place to walk around and stretch your legs but the food isn't worth the price and the crafts not at a high level. So a very disappointing meal. So you've been forewarned. All good things must come to an end.

If you ever find yourself drifting through Beckley and your stomach starts whispering sweet…read morenothings... make a hard left into Cheddars Gastro Pub. This place is a bit of a delightful plot twist. From the outside, you might expect the usual--but step inside and suddenly you're in a cozy little universe where the cocktails are dangerously good (and somehow still kind to your wallet), the bar feels like home base, and the food? Way more scratch-made magic than you'd ever guess. And let's talk about Amy. If hospitality were an Olympic sport, she'd have a gold medal and a signature cocktail named after her. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it--just pure, effortless excellence. Whether you're a road warrior passing through or a local in need of a reliable good time, Cheddars delivers that rare combo: great vibe, great food, zero regrets. Go hungry. Leave happy. Possibly stay for one more round than you planned.

My husband ordered the Monte Cristo because he was craving sweet and savory and of course I sampled some for myself. The jam was fantastic! I had the Dijon chicken with broccoli cheese casserole and it was like eating at my grandma's house. Everything was delish and the prices here are so good. I also love that they give you a buttery croissant instead of a dry roll or biscuit. It elevates the meal while still keeping that homemade vibe.
