In Jamestown for the 2026 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, after checking into my hotel and unpacking…read moreeverything, I opened up my Yelp app and searched for the best spot for dinner as I wanted to eat before seeing the Saturday headliner. One of the top spots was Wicked Warren's, which happened to be across the street from my hotel. In short, this was a great experience!
I walked over on a Saturday around 5pm and upon entering, I was impressed how big it was inside! Plenty of tables and chairs and a large bar in the back with plenty of TVs playing all sorts of sports. Right at the entrance was the host station where I spoke to a pleasant, young woman. Since it was just me, she offered either a table or grabbing a seat at the bar, if one was available. Luckily, there were a few empty seats at the bar so I took one and enjoyed watching the bar staff working and chatted with other patrons! The bar staff were incredibly friendly, I could sense they were genuinely happy to be there and enjoyed chatting with the folks sitting at the bar! I'll be honest, this put me ease and relaxed me even more, or maybe it was the beer... haha I'm terrible with names, but I believe the gentleman who ended up taking care of me was Patrick - He was so personable, excellent customer service! I ordered their "Raz Beret" fruited wheat beer to sip on as I figured out what to order for dinner - Delicious, as it was a wheat beer, it had a great fruit-forward flavor without being puckeringly sweet like a fruited sour beer! It was pretty busy when I sat down but I need to say, the wait times were very reasonable!
For dinner, I ended up ordering their Philly Cheesesteak Panuzzo with a side of chips and a pickle. What is a panuzzo you ask? A panuzzo is a sandwich made from pizza dough that's folded over and stuffed like a sandwich. The Philly Cheesesteak Panuzzo was their own fresh bake panuzzo bread filled with shaved sirloin steak on a garlic butter base with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and white American cheese. This was phenomenal! The panuzzo was jam-packed with steak, veggies, and cheese and was plenty hot and tasted so fresh! The garlic butter base was brushed on the panuzzo bread, which left my fingers a little greasy, but it wasn't a big deal wiping my hands off. The chips were good, nothing extraordinary, but good! The panuzzo, side of chips, and a beer were plenty for my big appetite and I was perfectly satiated! I felt the price I paid for their own, locally made beer, and the fresh, high-quality ingredients and great portions were very reasonable.
I really enjoyed my dinner at Wicked Warren's! The staff, the beer, the food, all of it was great! I don't make it down to Jamestown often, but next time I passthrough, I would definitely come to Wicked Warren's for dinner.
