3/6/26 - Our food never came. We left after waiting more than an hour and paying for our drinks.

'Almost Heaven' is a great Morgantown Dive Bar! Crowds were amazing. Music was pumping. Plenty of TVs for sports. 'Lily', our server, was exceptional - big personality, absolutely adorable, great service and incredibly attentive. For a dive bar, Almost Heaven is a 5-Star establishment. But as a restaurant/bar, it's a solid 3-Star. If you're looking to party in Morgantown for the night, and hang out with some of WVU's finest, come grab a pint, bucket o' bottles or a cocktail at Almost Heaven. read more

Got a quick bite in the afternoon. No wait and got our drinks and food really quick. Service was pristine. We tried 2 different flavors of wing the hot garlic and garlic parm. Both were really good. The fries were on the softer side which turned out really good with their house sauce. Believe this place would be really fun in the later scene with pool tables and disco balls. Great little place. read more

Sat right away with my group. Ordered drinks and appetizers the first time we saw our waitress. She got us the drinks. 30 minutes later we asked where our food was and she said the kitchen will never give her an answer and she can try to rush them. She then came back and asked for our credit card because "they've had so many walk outs and need to protect the servers." We said we aren't ordering our meal here can we just pay for our appetizers since she already fired them. Thirty more minutes go by and still no appetizers. We finally asked for a refund because it had been an hour and they gave us cash back. It wasn't that busy when we got there and we can't understand how it could possibly take 1 hour to make mozarella sticks and fried pickles. We honestly feel bad for the waitress because she's losing money and it seems like a toxic place to work at if they need to take someone's card before the food even comes out because of the amount of people who get fed up and leave. read more

Don't get the fried pickles, they are really bad, the pickle pieces are cut super thin (not exaggerating, about the thickness of construction paper) and there is entirely too much fried batter. Don't get the hot dogs , the bun and actual hot dog wiener is super dry, and the wiener is really small in comparison to the bun. All of the fries were soggy. All of the food was extremely salty. We waited a long time just to water refills (which never came). The service overall was just not very great, but there was a huge party there as well so most of their energy was focused on them. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, and the philly cheesesteak was ok but very soggy. The ambiance wasn't to bad if your looking for a loud bar and grill type place to eat. read more

Horrible service. They do not treat customers with respect. However, the drinks were fairly cheap.

Almost Hell is a better name. Waited over 2 hours for greasy food. How club sandwiches can be greasy is a mystery. When we got our food we were one meal short. About an hour into our wait the "bar and grill" turned into a wannabe dance club complete with disco ball and music so loud you couldn't have a conversation. Dirty bathrooms without toilet paper soap or paper towels completed the experience. Avoid read more

Food tasted great but our nachos that were supposed to be an appetizer that came out with our entrees were cold. We waited a long time for silverware and napkins. Our waitress walked past several times and didn't check on us. We were going to get drink refills but were never offered any. Waited a long time for the check and the check we got and our receipt was a +$2 difference. read more

After watching West Virginia win, during my trip to this game, I walked from the stadium to this bar as it was well recommended. The walk was about 30 minutes and downslope mostly. The bar is pretty big with a huge hall as you walk in. During my visit, they were serving bar food and I ordered chicken wings with beer. Service was great and attentive. Many of the folks were like me, visiting after the game. I think it is a good spot for the University and alumni crowd too. They had live music and some indoor sports. read more

Service wasn't good my friend waiting 50 minutes to get her food and the food we did get was over cooked and or burnt. We didn't even get the right drinks. Table and floors were sticky. The waiter ran by multiple times with check on us or refilling drinks. read more

The food was nothing to write home about, and the bar area was hot, as they opened the eating area to allow people to eat in the shade. The service was good, but with only a few customers, it is easy to be good. I'm not sure if I will be back, it will depend on my reason to be in the downtown area. read more

This bar is a perfect mix of alumni and students. We visited here a Friday and Saturday night during a home game football weekend. Friday there was karaoke and Saturday there was a local country band/musician. The bar prices were great although it was a bit slow Saturday night. They also have multiple corn hole sets and pool tables. This is a new favorite spot when in Morgantown! read more

The weekend buffet was good the first time. The second time, there was a limited menu with a few appetizers and no buffet. I'm not wanting to go back for a while till they get things straightened out. I might give it another try in the future. There's other places in the meantime. read more

Good, greasy unhealthy food Split the loaded tots between three people and it was enough to feed us for the night BUT I ordered the burrito and it was gooooood. Good drinks too! Our waitress was sweet and friendly but she was sparsely around and it added about 40 minutes to our time there. Cool atmosphere! read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING. There are great deals on drinks and all of the staff are extremely kind. The atmosphere is also awesome. The nachos are probably some if the best I've had, and they are extremely cheap. The best part too, is not only are they delicious and have you craving them later but they can put a veggie chili on them for you instead! It's great def give it a try! read more

OK - had a sign in front for happy hour (5-7): "half price appetizers and domestic drafts." Order a few appetizers including wings and had a few domestic drafts prior to the Blackberry Smoke concert across the street at the Metropolitan. Wings had to be the worst I have ever had - rubbery and slightly undercooked (it's pretty hard to screw up wings). At least the beer was nice and cold. Did not want to return the inedible wings (which I could not fathom) because just wanted to get out quickly to go to show. Got the tab - - every thing was full-priced. Pointed out to the very nice waitress that we came and finished during happy hour. She took the check to manager (owner I think) who adjusted the food, but refused to adjust the beer. The domestics we drank were from Greenbrier Valley Brewing (West Virginia) and Bell's (Michigan). Explanation: these are "craft" beers, not "domestic." I guess something has to be brewed by Miller, Coor's or A-B to be domestic. There are many better choices on High Street in Morgantown. I give Almost Heaven (name certainly does not fit) two stars simply because the waitress was very nice - understood our problems but could do nothing about it. read more

Wow, this has to be the worst restaurant in Morgantown, what a joke. I'm going to leave out the deep details because the other two reviews seem to cover them well. Anyway, we ordered 4 burgers for my brother, parents, and myself - first of all they took close to an hour to come out which was absolutely horrific because we just got done with the WVU game and were starving. The burgers were all so well done, they were completely gray and so nasty looking, they were on these tiny little buns that looked like a generic burger bun from Kroger. We complained about them and the owner literally argued with us about how the burgers were done. We finally CONVINCED him we didn't like the way they were cooked so we could get new ones, we almost just ate them anyway because of how hungry we were at this point. The new burgers finally came out and they were the same, I don't know who they have cooking there but this has to be the worst restaurant I've ever been to. read more

Was in for homecoming with family and friends. We had a great spot in the garage to watch the parade. Lea was amazing! Took great care of all 15 of us. Well done! read more

We sat at the bar and they carded us (I'm 72 and my wife is 68). My wife only had a picture of her license on her phone, the girl accepted that. We ordered drinks and then some guy came over and said the phone picture is not good enough and would not serve her! AND she could not sit at the bar!!! Well I told him to throw out the drinks and we left! Oh he said that was WV's law that everyone is carded. Well we walked down the street to another tavern, sat at the bar and even ASKED THEM, no you don't have to show us! That place was rocking, go there and skip this joint! read more

The best wings I've had in a long time, but even better than that we've lucked out and gotten Tasha as a waitress every time. She is so kind and personable. Honestly worth it to come here just for the great service! I recommend only this place downtown. Regardless of the service, great food great atmosphere! read more

Mushroom and Swiss burger was the best I have had in years! Cooked just right "pink" inside. The atmosphere was great, service was on point. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Morgantown. read more

This place was absolutely awful they had hardly any guests when we arrived, when we were seated we waited about 15 minutes on drinks, keep in mind there couldn't have been but 15 guests total in the whole place. After ordering our food and waiting almost an hour and never having anyone checked to see if we needed a refill on our drinks we were beyond disappointed. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place there is a reason they offer The $50 worth of gift certificates for only $25 so often on the local 50% Fridays it's because it's so bad that this is the only way to guarantee income for those who have the misfortune of sampling this place for themselves. Makes the ever popular phrase "almost heaven" seem so terrible... read more

Where do I start. Walk in no one at the hostess stand for a few minutes, okay we seat ourselves. After sitting there for 10 minutes not a single glance, I talked to a busser at a table asking for a waitress for our area. Seeming disinterested, barely acknowledged my existence with minimal eye contact saying "sure, yea someone will be there" 20 minutes later waitress of the year arrived. We are handed menus with a design that would have earned me a C- in 5th grade. We order pitchers and mixed drinks for the table. 20 minutes later, drinks arrive. No cups for the pitchers. The waitress says, "oh cups? People drink right out of the pitchers" like our response was otherworldly. She walks away before we can order our food. 10 minutes later, we manage to flag her down to order our food. We ordered multiple burgers and appetizers with customized options. She didn't write any of it down. Listen, you could be a Harvard grad, not write down a customized dinner order and I'd cringe. Oh by the way, they ran out of lettuce for the burgers at 6:30pm on a Saturday. Fast forward through anxious conversation sitting on plywood benches, she disappears for about 45 minutes. She checks in saying our food is almost done...but they ran out of nachos. She just told me they ran out of nachos, which means hey haven't started preparing our food yet. Ok, at this point we've waited 1 1/2 hours for food, a little longer won't hurt. A friend of the manager walks in the restaurant and into the kitchen, gets wings made for him in 5 minutes and eats it next to us. Ok cool thanks. 20 minutes later, our waitress is getting upset in the kitchen and starts crying and arguing with kitchen staff/manager who is standing in the customer seating area. She grabs her purse and speed walks out of the establishment crying. So our waitress that "remembered" our order is now gone, and we've been waiting for food for 2 hours, and now our waitress is gone. We decided it was time to leave this embarrassment. After contemplating ditching our current tab due to the lack of brain activity, my ethical wife walks up to the bar to pay our tab. She is standing there for 10 minutes without service. I walk up to the manager and tell him this is the worst restaurant experience of my life with zero comparison. The only other waiter left tells me as his hand is on my shoulder, "your words will not bring us down, we're a family here and we'll be better tomorrow when you come back" LOL news flash bro, I'm never coming back. I live 5 hours away and visited for a WVU football game. For the sake of your innocent team spirited heart find somewhere else to work. His manager gives him the look to stop talking, says our tab is covered, we walk out. Listen, owner. Don't buy a restaurant for a hobby because your bros are doing it. If you have zero food business experience, don't throw up a restaurant on a whim planning to make easy money. You were severely understaffed on a Saturday game day and have zero organization. Please shut down the food option of your establishment. It's insulting I need to give this place 1 star to post a review. TLDR: Worst restaurant I've ever been to in my life. The name 'Almost Heaven' for this place is hilariously ironic. read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star. I used to work in the restaurant industry so I feel bad saying this but the service is truly garbage. We waited 40 mins for a glass of water. We were brought the wrong food multiple times and because the service was soooo bad we saw 5 different tables of people get up and leave before they even got to order food. I've never witnessed something like that! And when you finally get the food it's so bland and absolutely NOT worth the hassle and wait. Please do not go this restaurant!!!!! I'm actually surprised this place hasn't been shut down yet. read more

Went here before the concert across the street. Waitress was great. But it took forever for the food to come out. Then only 2 out of the 5 orders came out. We had to leave and asked for the check still didn't get the other 3 plates. About 20 mins after the first order arrived the food was brought out just as we were leaving. Waitress talked with manager and got the 3 burgers removed. No management that we saw, people were walking out without being served at all. I get that kitchen may be slow do to not enough help, but place was not busy when we arrived. I definitely felt sorry for our waitress as she was trying. Will say the appetizers were good. read more

The food was decent (some a little salty) and our server was friendly, but DO NOT EVER GO HERE WITH A LARGE GROUP. They will not split your tab for you and will take a maximum of 3 credit cards. They have a Point of Sale computer system, but staff is not trained on how to use it. We also had the same problem as others with the Happy Hour domestic draft special. Drinks were full price because domestic draft only refers to the first four taps, but the sweeping hand gesture towards the wall of taps does not make that clear when you are ordering and we were not given a drink menu that spells that out. I can't bring myself to only give the place 2 stars because having owned a restaurant I know how hard it is to get a new place going, and I'm hoping they will work out the kinks. We might go back for a drink and to play pool but would never go back with a group. read more

One of my favorite bars in town! Staff are always great, food is delicious, and it's priced well. Highly recommended!

We came here after the West Virginia/Virginia Tech game. I immediately made it well-known that I was a Yelp reviewer, so the service was just outstanding. They also let me go behind the bar and pour my own complimentary drinks after I questioned the strength of a cocktail that I ordered. As the evening went on, I noticed they were a little understaffed, so I also helped them out by seating some of the patrons as they entered the establishment. All in all, I would recommend this place to my friends and will probably make a second visit. read more

Very nice setup loved karaoke night on Friday and the food wasn't too bad either has real potential to be a great bar

After reading the reviews i was apprehensive to try it out. But I figured what the hell give it a shot. I was blown away! The food was fresh and amazing. We had apps and tried the Prime Rib. It was prepared to perfection. Even our service was great. The server even let me try a sample of beer before i committed to a full Pint. We will definitely be back. Keep up the good work. read more

Tried to have dinner with our daughter during WVU family weekend. After we were seated and given the full menu, the waitress explained they were only serving the very limited late night menu (it was 6:45pm by the way). We ordered one drink and order dinner. The drink came fairly quick but after about 45 minutes, we asked the waitress when the food would be out. She said she didn't know, they were busy. Place didn't seem that busy. She never returned to our table, so after another 20 min I went to the entrance to the kitchen. I asked again and she still didn't have an answer. I requested to cancel the order and give me a check for my drink. She grabbed the manager who immediately just went to the computer and canceled the order. Not once did he even look at me or attempt to apologize. And surprisingly she gave a check for my drink. Unfortunately, it's a nice place but I don't think they will survive. read more

Food and staff were great,fast friendly service,apps were #1,normally I don't write reviews or comments,but I had seen where someone complained and usually it is only the complaining people who write reviews and some of them are not happy any where.we will go back. read more

We arrived around 5:30, a party of 5; we were seated immediately because the place was just about empty. Our server came over, took our drink order, and returned with the correct drinks but the wrong size; we wanted large beers. We ordered appetizers at that time. When our waitress returned to check on drink refills, we ordered dinner because the appetizers took a little longer than we expected. After about an hour, our appetizers arrived, very good, by the way. The boneless wings were the biggest any of us have seen. Around 6:50, two of our five orders came out. Our waitress apologized, and we requested the rest of the order be canceled and removed from the check. No management came to see if there was anything they could do. Around 7:20, the waitress removed the other three meals and again apologized, but we told her it wasn't her fault. We paid our bill and attended our event, which is why we were in town and decided to eat here. The place became very crowded as we waited for our food and people began walking out due to the slow meal service. Not a place we will return to for a meal, maybe for drinks and appetizers read more

Slow service, inedible food, sassy employees. Wings were undercooked. There was literally blood in the middle of my wing. They had NO chicken. They ran out of tomatoes and asked me if I still wanted the BLT. The drinks took forever to get. Food took forever to get. They use KRAFT SINGLES (not even melted) on the philly cheesesteak. Very unsanitary, they don't even have wrappers on the straws and they just placed them directly on the dirty table. I can't even fathom what is taking place in the kitchen because it took an hour for us to get our food, when there was only 3 tables sitting in the whole restaurant. This PLACE IS THE WORST EVERRRR. BEWARE THIS IS NOT ALMOST HEAVEN THIS IS ALMOST HELL read more

The restaurant had good food. However the management was not accommodating for a group party. The party was not notified ahead of time that they were only able to use up to three cards with about ten couples in the party reservations. The management did not help us with the mathematical calculations for the difference for cash members of the party. The party was left to figure out the adding of the bill. It would be unfair to leave a 300 dollar bill to be it on someone's credit card. Gratuity was included in the bill but I feel we had overpaid. read more

Will not eat here again. Waited over 1.5 hours for food to get to our table. Waitress took 45 mins to put our order in the computer then blamed it on the cook and a six top that arrived before us. Two tables after us had their food 15-20mins before ours. Bartender comp'd two drinks and is the owner, never mentioning it. Definitely will not be back as this is the second time food took over 1 hour. Used gift certificates for all but $1.50 and told the manager, Chris, I wasn't paying the rest. Don't even bother with him bc he'll call the cops on you for "dine and dash" even if you don't leave. read more

Crappy service. Checked on 3 times by waitress. Had to wait 2-2.5 hours waiting on food. Never get out food ask for a manager and the manager comes over and is rude and has an attitude. Very very bad place to eat. read more

Great food... great atmosphere... family friendly and had a blast for the bowl despite our loss lol.. but in general I would strongly suggest this restaurant and their burgers if you plan on going out for dinner. read more
