    Outside cute little area to sit
    Michelle V.

    We love the Dancing Dog! Every time I visit my family in WV ( from CA) we have to go! It's a cute little spot in the Westside. All their food is great! The smash burger is my favorite! You need to save room for ice cream, oh my so good!! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Give this place a shot, you'll love it!

    Hot dog and onion rings
    Tira M.

    This place is quite the gem in Charleston. We grabbed a quick bite during lunch recently and it was beyond delicious. The hot dogs are the WV classic and the onion rings melt in your mouth! The young man who brought the food out has such a wonderful personality and brightened our day! The interior of the restaurant kept the old bones of the building with a modern and clean feel. This is a wonderful addition to Charlie West!

    Fried pickles
    Jennifer B.

    Unbelievably DELICIOUS!!! A hidden gem in downtown Charleston. The smash burger, shoestring fries and fried pickles are a MUST try!!!

    Great little place in Elk city! A great addition to the growing stores opening. Had a smash burger.. was very good ( a bit pricey) and onion rings the were fabulous!! Food was fresh and hot, service good too! Also tried sea salt carnet ice cream... great too! Give them a try

    My hotdogs. So good.

    We found this place thanks to Yelp and boy let me tell you it dose not disappoint. I had the best hotdogs I have had. Nathan's dog with chili, mustard, slaw, and relish. I can say they are GREAT. The wife had a grilled cheese, and we split an order of Hand cut fries and onion rings. So good. My best friend had the smashburger and said it was the best burger he had had in years. He and I are both chefs, and I am telling you this place is awesome. Very small. I didn't try the ice cream but heard people saying how good it is. They have a full menu and offer fried fish and you choose haddic or cod. If your in town and want very good food try it.

    Milkshake

    No food on Sundays, but I was able to grab a delicious salted caramel milkshake. The staff was extremely friendly. It's a very clean establishment. Cute set up! I'll definitely be back. Very nice addition to Charleston and I wish them great success!

    Here's the storefront on W. Washington St., in Elk City on Charleston's West Side!

    OMG!!! A great ice cream place starts cooking up food??? This can only go two ways... GOOD... or BAD!!! I'm proud to report it's GREAT!!! I had the two patty Smashed Burger with the works!!! The seasoned crinkle-cut fries were amazing! The only downside... the food was so filling I left no room for ice cream. Folks, the Smashed Burger is a 10/10!!!!

    wonderful ice cream and a beautifully simplistic designed business. Staff was extremely friendly and made sure we were taken care of.

    Fresh flowers on the table

    I love going to Dancing Dog Ice Cream. It is sandwiched between two of my favorite stores: Backstage Bodywear and Shop 218. Dancing Dog's logo makes me feel happy and there are fresh flowers on the tables. Delightful!

    This gelato shop occupies a small space that is across the river from the WV Capitol area and a…read moreshort distance up a steep incline. I walked up to find a couple of people working there who I take to be ownership. Notably, the reason I hadn't visited before is that I often travel on Sunday and they're closed on Sunday. You can run a business however you want I guess, but Sunday does seem like a time where a lot of people would want to be able to purchase some ice cream. In substance, the gelato selection was very good. They had a few non-dairy options. I picked several flavors that were wildly different, but was recommended to try something more consonant, which I suspect reflects a difference in thought processes between the more masculine high-decoupling mind and a contrasting holistic approach. Having said that, I went with the recommendation for what tasted like a very ripe banana flavor, as well as a tiramisu cream that definitely tasted like high quality tiramisu, and a pure hazelnut flavor. It was a high quality smooth dessert, and in relative terms, the price was less than what you'd pay at a high-end place in a big city. And while I can't say I've been to Italy, this gelato was as good as you'd get in any of the American places I've been to, so it's a great stop here in Charleston.

    The best gelato I've ever had! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and authentic. I was able to…read moretest out some flavors of gelato before ordering. Great service and ample seating inside.

I used to love this place and the little girl who always took your order was so adorable. When I was getting out of my car, I joked to myself, "That little girl is probably 35 with a mortgage now." When I walked in, it was if time had stood still. Yet another generation of young children taking your order with such efficiency and professionalism. I, personally, think this is wonderful. When my son was that age, he couldn't do the things that these kids do. The little boy who took my order rocked. I got two English dogs, an order of fried mushrooms, and a large drink for $14. They give you TWELVE fried mushrooms by the way. How many other restaurants give you that many? I was tickled to death that their menu hadn't changed because I was always a huge fan. The hot dogs were beautiful displayed and the buns were perfectly buttered. The chili was flavorful and the slaw was so sweet and fine. I savored every bite. Huskey's has good, tasty hot dogs - plain and simple. Nice, clean, not sloppy. You're not gonna have to worry about getting more chili on your blouse than in your mouth. It's just a quiet, family-vibe experience and, sometimes, that is exactly what you need on a Friday afternoon. As I got up, full-bellied, I spotted a young lady out of the corner of my eye. I'd like to think it was the little girl who always took my order years ago. And she still looked pretty young, which made me feel better about time and feel not so Crypt Keeperish...like I'm the Hot Dog Crypt Keeper or something.
