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.

OMG, the collard greens, baked beans and Mac and cheese were on point and worth the trip. Everything was delicious and the portions were perfect. I was stuffed pretty quickly, but I am looking forward to finishing my food later. My sister enjoyed the fried fish, my nephew loved the fried chicken and I had the fried pork chop. The cornbread was big and a great addition to all the plates of food. The service was friendly and the food was made to order. The restaurant is small (4 tables), but more importantly whatever is coming out of that kitchen is finger licking good. We are glad we stopped by and definitely would return if ever in the area.

As I'm typing my review, I note that I've been ignored here and I'm not the only one. A long wait for the owner to come downstairs from making a call to provide the Guest WiFi. A table of 2 that came in after me got their food before mine, while I was sitting twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do. The lady who took my order came by exactly once, to deliver my check. No offer of a water refill. After waiting a long time she finally came back and asked if I want dessert, but left without taking my order or hearing my question (wine cake?). She is responsible for this bad review and losing more business from me and other customers who also were sitting and waiting. "Have you ever waited tables before?" No, but I've had great service at many places, and this wasn't it. Unfortunately that's where I'm setting it: Don't reward bad service with your money.

Since I really only eat one big meal a day I was hoping this'd do. I gave it a shot. Had to park behind the restaurant because I didn't see any parking up front. Nice place. Looks like at night it could be a jumping little spot for drinks. I ordered something simple, fried chicken with yams, greens, and Mac. Great choice! Food was hot and tasty. Good portions too at a decent price. I only had water. If I come back up here I'd hit it again. It's not in the cut but across the river. Good food and good people.

The food was about on par with what you would find at a traditional Mexican restaurant in this part of the country. I ended up ordering the Camarones al a Diabla, and they were pretty decent. The sauce was nicely flavored, though there was less of it than I expected. The balance of shrimp and other sides was good, and the portion wasn't over the top. Overall, a pretty good meal. In terms of the vibe, I would say it's very Mexican. The television in the bar was set to a Spanish language channel. I was able to communicate just fine, but there was a bit of a language barrier with the bar tender. Not a problem. I actually view that as a sign of authenticity. I'll also note that they seemed a little short-staffed on the night I showed up. Everyone was extremely busy, so service was a little slow but still attentive. Everyone there was trying their best to keep up. All told, I would recommend this place. Not an over the top dining experience, but it was very clearly a locally owned place with a good vibe and lots of character.

You have numerous options to get food, drive up, drive through and dine in. Dine-in does not have a traditional cashier and counter, instead you order on the menu board by pressing the button. There's also a menu board by the sidewalk and picnic table area up-front. Food was good and came out fast. The only issue we had was when we put in for a mobile order, checked in, it took over 25 minutes of waiting. Since there was no one at the "counter" I had to open the "Employee Only" door to speak with someone. I will try the Sonic by our house, very interesting concept!

We were a little cautious because the door was propped open and several floor fans were running. It was fine, plus the temps there were just high 70s. Our waitress brought us menus and water, then while we glanced over the menu, brought chips and salsa. I asked for hot salsa and a mildly hot one. My wife chose the Lunch Burrito with a side of Frijoles. I went for the Lunch Taco Salad, although I was a bit disappointed that I missed not seeing frijoles in the list of ingredients. However my ant thoughtful wife shared hers. Our food was fairly quick, enough time to polish off a tray of warm tortilla chips. My wife's burrito was excellent, spiced nicely with the hot salsa. I enjoyed my taco salad, even with the absence of beans. And of course my wife had to test the Churros. A pleasant experience overall and good food with fair prices. And good service. A definite plus for little Hinton.

I don't like everything here, and that's saying something for someone who loves food! Sometimes…read morethey let crowds get too out of hand when they have people who are drunk, and I don't really care for that. The drinks are good, and so are the deals. The staff always seems nice, and I've only had to wait once out of all of the times that I've been. Sometimes it is really loud, sometimes it is not, so if you have kids or something like that, I suggest you pay attention to what games are on and things like that. My kids are grown, so I don't worry about that, but I do have misophonia so sometimes it's a little too much to go during like a WVU game or UFC fight. If you aren't going at those times, it's actually a really cool place to hang out.
