Tony and I decided to give Short Story Brewing a try for our Valentine's Dinner. We found on street…read moreparking quickly only a few short steps from the entrance on this Rainy Sunday Afternoon! The building (though Vintage) was Open, Bright and Airy! A major plus to this Seasonal Depression Sufferer! We went to the bar to place our order! We opted for the Knotty Boy Garlic Knots for $10 & the Fully Loaded Detroit Style Pizza for $15I had a bottle of water and though he was very disappointed that it was ONLY their WV Craft Beer served, he went with what the bartender recommended (closest to a PBR & Budweiser that they offered ) for $5.50, total with taxes & Tip was $42. We were surprised that the food was out in like 15 minutes. We fully expected to wait since Detroit Deep Dish normally takes 30 minutes to 45 minutes to cook fully. This led us to believe it was PAR BAKED for faster Customer Service which to many is NOT A PLUS! The Garlic Knots were very doughy and extremely dense in texture. Not a fan! The service was fast and friendly but for the atmosphere, price and the fact they are trying to be trendy, the paper plates & plastic cutlery was a BIG NEGATIVE!! I know myself even if Melanac Hard Plastic for plates is okay, but I want true Silverware!! The sauce has a really Great flavor and the cheese pull was very nice on the pizza. The sauce served on top, a big big plus!! I live in Ripley, WV and drove 35 minutes one way to enjoy this meal, but the question is...would I do it again?? Probably NOT! I give them a 5 out of 5 on atmosphere and ambience they nailed that! I give them a 4 out 5 on Customer Service because the food came too fast!! I give them a 3 out 5 for the food, the sauce was perfect but everything else about taste and flavor was a hit and miss. The score might have been higher if I had left off the Knotty Boy Garlic Knots!! The beer though I tasted it wasnt bad but Im not a beer drinker, my hubby was very disappointed so thats 2 out of 5 stars and the tableware scores a zero!! I wasn't on a picnic and the paper and plastic screams picnic or lazy kitchen staff to me!! So, would I recommend? I must say overall, 3 stars out of 5 stars! I recommend you go and decide for yourself!

The atmosphere is fantastic and really adds to the overall vibe. I ordered an Old Fashioned, which was excellent--personally, I'd go with just a touch less simple syrup next time to make it perfect. My wife chose the Bloody Mary, and it was unlike any we've had before in a great way. We both really enjoyed our drinks. We also tried a single barrel flight, which definitely lived up to expectations. If you're a bourbon lover, this place is well worth a visit--you really can't beat the experience.

You can't smell that good and be closed... So Billy asked me what I was looking for and I had no idea. He went into the kitchen anyway and hooked me up with some amazing BBQ... Mac and cheese, seasoned fries, smoked meat... sweet baby Jesus, I'm glad I found Billy, Eric, and all the rest of the wonderful people that make this place possible. Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and check this place OUT!! Good ol' authentic country cooking to be found here!!

Stopped by Billy D's while driving through Charleston, WV, around 5 pm with no plans, just smelled…read morethe bbq, saw the open sign, and pulled up. I'll be honest: the outside might make you second guess it. It's not flashy, and the area is a little rough around the edges. But the second you sit down, you realize it feels like a backyard cookout or a family reunion at the park. Outdoor seating only. Cash only. No nonsense. I got the pulled pork sandwich, fried chicken wings, mac & cheese, collard greens, and potato salad, and everything tasted homemade in the best way. Like someone's grandma been in the kitchen all day. The seasoning was perfect; the portions were just right; and nothing felt rushed or store-bought. Billy D himself took my order and brought out my food to-go. He was super chill, respectful, and you can tell he takes pride in his business. If you're in Charleston and want something authentic, skip the chains. Billy D's is where you want to go. Just bring cash and an appetite

The spicy fries were covered in some sort of sticky red sauce that had less flavor than Tabasco Sauce. Maybe other people like them, but I was unimpressed. The falafel was decent. The tahini sauce tasted like it was straight tahini. I was hoping that there might have been some garlic, vinegar, salt or pepper added. If my car broke down in front of the Indian Mound in South Charleston and I was stuck for hours and starving and couldn't order anything off DoorDash, I might eat here again. The only positive thing I can say is that the servings were generous, and made it worth the high price.

The food is always so fresh and delicious! We could eat here every week and never get tired of it!read more
