It doesn't move at lightning speed, but the staff keeps things churning along steadily. It is great to see a crew of local teens working hard and managing the rush. The menu hits the spot. My daughter went for the Kayak's Dream Shake--a solid mix of banana, strawberry, and blueberry. I ordered the Diver Shake with banana, chocolate, and peanut butter, and it was exactly what I wanted. For the food, the hot dogs are on the thinner side, but they serve them on a properly toasted bun. The burgers have excellent flavor, and the French fries are golden, crispy, and salted to perfection. My son tried the pepperoni roll; he thought it was okay, but not great. The vibe is great, vacation home run with a large roadside stand. Covered seating and picnic tables, corn hole, super size jenga and connect four.

Visiting The Stashe in Fayetteville…read more While visiting the ring shop in Fayetteville, we stopped by The Stashe next door. We were in West Virginia with family and our dog, and were happy to see they offer a pup cup for dogs. I went with the Blue Panda after some deliberation, but also sampled the Dark Chocolate Raspberry--both were excellent. Portions are generous for the price, and even though my cup looked small, it was still a great bang for the buck. Here's what we had: * Pistachio (cone) * Blue Panda (cup) * Cappuccino Crunch (cup) * Pup Cup (for our dog) Every flavor was delicious, and we'd definitely come back when visiting Fayetteville and the surrounding West Virginia area.

Tasty ice cream in Fayetteville!…read more This shop shares a space/doubles as a restaurant ("The Take Out"). Parking is a little tight since it's downtown but we made it out okay. There's a little bit of outdoor seating and a few tables inside but it's mostly to-go. They serve Hershey's brand ice cream and have a large selection, including sugar free and dairy free options! The space is very cute and has lots of fun stickers/posters/decor. Service was fast and friendly! I wasn't wowed by the flavor selection -- it didn't super suit my preferences -- but we did come at the end of the day at the end of the week, so I certainly could've had better luck at a different time. We all wound up with Moose Tracks (vanilla base, fudge ribbon, peanut butter cups) and it was enjoyable, like all Moose Tracks! We were happy and it was a nice way to round out our time in WV. If you're looking for a treat, this is a good option!

It also gave me a chance to see how it operates over a short period of time with some different staffing. My final 3 star rating is the average of the ratings for the two experiences in the same week, on Monday then Friday, both at shortly after lunch. The Monday experience was the better one from the friendly and quick service of the staff and a very clean dining room. The Friday experience was again shortly after lunch but it looked like the restaurant was short staffed, even though I saw what appeared to be a manager talking with a staff member who was getting ready to empty the trash container. It was obvious they were enjoying the conversation based on their smiles and laughter. In the meantime we had to wipe off tables that had been used and vacated but not cleaned. I rated this experience a 2. In both cases the food was good and the fries were hot when we got them. Next trip in that direction we will try other restaurants.

I want to recognize Maggie at Dairy Queen for her absolutely wonderful customer service. When my…read moreorder of two chocolate ice cream cones had been left sitting on the counter for over 10-15 minutes while other customers were being served, Maggie immediately stepped in to help. Despite a coworker expressing frustration and insisting she should just serve us the melting cones, Maggie remained professional, courteous, and focused on doing the right thing for the customer. Her positive attitude and genuine care made all the difference. Maggie truly stands out because of her natural ability to connect with people. She doesn't just complete a transaction; she makes you feel seen, respected, and taken care of. Even in a stressful moment, she approached the situation with warmth and understanding, turning what could have been a frustrating experience into a positive one. Her genuine kindness and people-focused attitude make a real difference. Thank you, Maggie, for your exceptional hospitality and service. I truly hope management recognizes your efforts and also addresses the issue of ice cream orders being left on the counter for extended periods. Employees like you make the experience so much better!

It would be great if they added specials or changed things up once in a while. They serve beer and wine.

This place is...interesting, in a good way. When I was told I was going out of town for a work…read moreevent in West Virginia and this was the name of the place. I had no idea exactly what this place was. My colleague kept referring to it as just a Moose. And a lot of use know that means something else, more in lines with a bar. The person that invited us out to here for the event didn't give us much information about what we should expect. But I am happy I came here, because of how unique of a place this is. Most people would assume that this may be a place for ice cream and you'd be partially right. This place is a mix of things that you would not expect. First and foremost, it is a well used coffee shop. Even though there is a well known national competitor right up the road. There is a steady stream of vehicles in and out throughout the day. Inside, in the coffee portion of the space, it gives definite coffee shop vibes. Couches, armchairs, tables, books, magazines, etc. That coziness could be a big draw on a cold day. I had myself a chai tea latte from here and it was delicious. They are quick with their ordering process and making of the drink. What else is here you ask? Well, let me tell you. There is an ice cream parlor tucked away on the opposite side of the coffee shop. You can enter this through the coffee shop or from the outside entrance on the side of the building. This area, then leads you to another location on the lot. Putt-Putt. Behind the building, there is a miniature golf course built into the hillside. One that is West Virginian history themed. Another thing this place has is an indoor climbing wall. I didn't get a chance to check that out.

It is a bit odd in that they offer a lot of tropical fruits and coconut-based ice cream; even if some of their stuff is grown locally I can't imagine there's a coconut farm in the mountains. Then again, the dairy-free crowd will be glad to know that there's vegan ice cream in the area. As far as food, their menu was only okay from a vegetarian perspective. The sweet crepe I did land on offered an abundance of peanut butter and Nutella that delivered on flavor, and the side salad I got was a decent size for the price and quite pleasant. There were a few chairs and a picnic table set up here, but it certainly doesn't offer the amenities of a full restaurant. Having said that, if you are specifically wanting something distinctive and local that's close to New River Gorge, this is one of your few options and does offer some good stuff.
