There is an array of unique and beautiful home decor items and gift ideas ranging from flowers, arrangements, wreaths, candles, rugs, flags, lamps, placemats, door mats, purses, lamps, pillows, canisters, wall art, holiday decor, lighting, curtains, and the list goes on and on.

I recently had a trip and I was so excited to stop for a late lunch. It has been at least 2 yrs but…read moreprob longer since I've been here. I used to travel and stop here often and it was amazing. 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.

There were lots of stalls and it was clean and smelled fresh. There was an ATM machine in the hallway outside the restroom. There were several restaurants including Popeyes and Wendy's as well as Starbucks. I ordered a single with cheese at Wendy's. There were several people waiting so I checked out the Mountain State Market to look for some Marshall University items. The store sold huge popcorn containers as well as several different sauces and preserves. There were West Virginia t-shirts and other items like mugs. They also had and over the counter drug section. My single with cheese was ready in about 7-8 minutes. Then I was back on the road again. I would stop here again as I liked the various options and the wait wasn't bad considering how busy it was.
