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.

The inside building was filled with local artist creations from lamps, pottery, jewelry, walking sticks, music instruments, blown glass, 2D art and food. After finding out pepperoni rolls are the unofficial state food of WV, we picked 2 up, and made a 4 pack of WV beers. We spent almost 2 hours browsing everything in this shop. You can watch glass being blown and pottery being made through the artists windows. Highly recommend this place if you like local and unique art. Ps, you purchase your things at customer service. It was a bit confusing, a stranger stopped to ask us where to pay so we weren't the only confused ones.

The menu is replete with traditional offerings that are universally well received (i.e., steaks, spaghetti, burgers, pasta, and sandwiches). There is also a salad bar, which is fun in a kitschy sort of way. The prices are surprising low. We started with jalapeño cheese fries. Fries, cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and solid ranch dressing- I mean what else does a fellow need? I had the highly stacked club sandwich. My tablemates had steaks- the sirloin and the ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly. My friends paired their steaks with the twice baked potatoes. My extra indulgent wife added the mac and cheese. The three of us shared the bread pudding. Everything we had was enjoyable. When it comes to comfort food, this place really hits the mark. The server was attentive, friendly , and well versed regarding the menu. We'll definitely go back, I'm looking forward to dinner on their patio.

The omelet made me think people don't order vegetables very often, because the cheese was on the outside? Like it had been left out? No big, I slipped it inside and it was fine. Sadly, when I went to the bathroom, the waitress cleared my entire meal, despite me TELLING her I was just going to the bathroom, pointing at it, receiving a nod. Luckily I had eaten enough for bariatric me. She offered to bring me a new plate, but I just asked for coffee. When I went to pay, I had a moment of panic thinking they only accept cash (I had just enough). Welp, the ATM network was down. Good news, two gentlemen at the next booth who seemed to be regulars had paid for my meal! I thanked them profusely.

Omelet That Slide…read more Founded in 1948 by the eponymous Bob Evans in Gallipolis, OH. While no longer run by the Evans family, Bob Evans restaurants are now numbered somewhere around 450 restaurants nationwide (mostly in the Midwestern/Southern regions of the USA, altho they do have locations in PA, NY, & NJ). This location is not too far from Hwy 19 here in WV and would make a good stop for road trippers and commuters alike. The Good: *Friendly and prompt service *Coffee was classic diner fare *Prices are ridiculously cheap for large portions (please note I'm from CA, so take that with as grain of salt) *Large and plentiful parking lot *Biscuits were bomb AF *Chicken Fried Steak was not spectacular, but it got the job done. The eggs were cooked well; the steak was nice and crispy; and the hash browns were the classic representation. The Meh: . *Décor is on the non-offensive kinda boring classic diner motif. *While the food was all very good, nothing was spectacular and worthy of an immediate return trip. The Ugly: *Whatever you do, don't look at the calories for the food here. 0_o TLDR: Solid American fare that's a good solid stop when available, and also easy on the wallet, too.

Service up front at the hostess was efficient and seated immediately with menus. Our waitress came by for drink orders which both got waters. After ordering a few minutes later still no water. The waitress was very pleasant and smiled which I loved the attitude, I could see our waitress took orders, bussed tables and later found out prepped salads. So no surprise the waters took around ten minutes. We thought bread would hit the table before, but we did not ask. My salad came out quickly and was very good. Our food came out after around 30 minutes. My wife's grilled chicken strips and mashed potatoes looked great and she confirmed it was. My Smokehouse grilled chicken however was awful and obviously not prepared correctly. The tomatoes side also awful. The okra was not something I even ordered or liked. The waitress could not be found for around ten minutes, then she did a table check. She then acknowledged it was not prepared correctly. I told her I needed to leave and she asked for a minute to talk to the manager and took the plate. Once she returned there was an apology and gift card for another visit. The manager also comped the meal. I felt it was handled properly, but left hungry. I'm at a 2.5 and rounding up with one meal correct and good. Also although the service was slow they were woefully understaffed.

Omelet Shoppe - A Little Slice of Road-Trip Americana…read more There isn't much in Beckley when it comes to very early breakfast before hiking New River Gorge NP, so we picked Omelet Shoppe mostly because it was a few blocks from the hotel and, honestly, how wrong can you go with eggs and bacon? Turns out: wonderfully right. This diner is pure road-trip gold, the kind of place where time slows down just enough for the coffee to taste better. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting locals with hugs, warm questions about their families, and the kind of genuine familiarity that makes you wonder if you've accidentally walked into a reunion. And somehow, they made us feel like we were long-lost regulars too. It was all very wholesome and slightly magical. The food was simple, satisfying, exactly what breakfast should be when you're about to climb, wander, and sweat your way through a national park. So good, in fact, that we came back every single morning. Because why mess with perfection? A true little gem, comforting, unpretentious, and warm in all the right ways.

Pros Quanity- My omelet, home fries, toast, and coffee were about $13, so very affordable for some greasy spoon- type breakfast. Cons Service- Our service was spotty, and not the warmest, but can be understandable. Taste- I may have gotten the wrong thing, but overall there wasn't a whole lot of flavor (until I added hot sauce...that helped). Speed- Came in about 8:30, and it was 1/4- 1/2 full, but still took about 35 minutes to get our food after ordering. Not the slowest, but could have been better. Overall could have been a worse experience, and if you are wanting some quick, simple, Waffle House- style food, this is a good place to check out!
