The first stop on our West Virginia road trip was the carefully planned out stop: Dobra Zupas ( I researched this trip for months). I would say this was as solid as it comes for any restaurant. Pros: - The building. As a Savannah, GA native (more or less) I can appreciate a historic building. Absolutely love the vibe inside and out. - Their fries are top notch. Great Greek seasoning on these bad boys and very hot coming out. Some of the better fries I've had in my life. - Grilled Chicken Sandwich. There's a spot in Savannah, GA called "Clary's" that had a grilled chicken sandwich and they took it off their menu a few years back. One of my favorite chicken sandwiches; Dobra Zupas is pretty close to that one. A perfect "diner" style chicken sandwich. - Wait Staff. Top Notch. After having a rather bad wait staff for my last review, this one made me feel comfortable and not rushed nor in the way. - Fried Goat Cheese was amazing. I've never had anything like it. Cons: - Pizza was so-so. You really don't go to a Greek restaurant and order pizza, but it was alright. Definition of okay. I really enjoyed my stop through here. You can tell they put a lot of effort into this being a great restaurant and it comes through. The building and how unexpected it is to come across (you Google Map a restaurant and are kinda shocked when you come across it) is cool. Well, my unnecessary hours of researching restaurants for West Virginia was successful for Day One because Dobra Zupas was a fun find. Very glad I came and would definitely recommend it. read more

Family owned coffee place with a small, but very good menu. I got a rice dish and it was well seasoned and had fresh ingredients. The coffee was the best I've ever had. Bar none. and I have had coffee from all over the world. I'll be back the next time I am in the area. read more

This is a nice little brewery/restaurant in an older home. The food was really good. I had the Mediterranean chicken. It was a huge portion and came with a salad and two sides. I loved that I could get two vegetables! My husband got the coffee-rubbed ribeye. So tender and tasty. We tried a couple beers. They were good. The IPAs weren't hoppy enough for my husband, but I liked them. Check this place for a great meal! read more

Dobra Zupas was a great choice for celebrating with large family, including 6 kids, at a casual but nice dinner. We booked the upstairs private room for a 60th birthday party for 20 people at 5pm. The owner, Rebecca, was very accommodating even though we called on Wednesday for a Saturday dinner during Valentine's Day weekend. They were also very flexible and allowed us to order off the normal menu vs their set Valentine's menu. And we sent in our orders in advance to help their planning and pacing from the kitchen. I was surprised that they only sent one person for our group, which meant that dishes weren't all served at the same time, but we still were able to eat by 5:45. The best dishes from the night: - Sriracha rubbed rib eye : was perfectly seasoned and cooked - Crab risotto (1/2) with asparagus: well cooked and satisfying - 12 wings with Carolina bbq sauce : tasty, slightly sweet, with a little spice - Grilled Salmon with asparagus: cooked well, wasn't dry, and it was a filling but not too heavy meal I had the special Vday Scallops with kale & roasted potatoes - the scallops and potatoes were well cooked (not overcooked at all) with a subtle lemon aioli sauce, but the kale was slightly over salted for me. read more

This is a great spot for a quick bite or even a longer sit down dinner. The restaurant is actually in a craftsman style home, which further sets it apart from the run of the mill restaurant. And although it's in an area where there really are not any other restaurants, it seems just right. Service is prompt, attentive, and the server knew the menu well. We had some dietary restrictions, but didn't feel limited as the server was good about communicating with the kitchen and providing us options. The food is on the higher end, but tasted fresh, with satisfying flavors and portions. Surprisingly this place could accommodate larger parties and even has a bar with an ample selection of beers and wines. They must be making a name for themselves with craft beer too, as I saw a few people come in just to by the specialty 6-packs. read more

If you love microwave chicken this is the place. The $20 med chicken was supposed to be two chicken breasts. Mysteriously it was chopped. Also part of the plate was blazing hot and part was cold. From chef Mic. Servers were nice. But this place must get homer reviews. It's not good. read more

My wife, daughter and I were spending the weekend in the area and went to this restaurant after reading some reviews. After being seated, we proceeded to wait 20 minutes before anyone came to take drink orders (requested water for each of us, never happened..). Finally ordered entrees. This is not an exaggeration, the entrees were served 90 minutes after we walked into the restaurant! Was the food worth waiting for, no way! My "Thai" chicken wrap had no trace of the peanut sauce shown on the menu, and a majority of the fries were an inch or less long. The ends of the piece of salmon that came with my wife's salad were as crispy as the chips! At least my daughter enjoyed her burger. The ambiance of this place was nice, I'll give them that. But, whether you're locals or road warriors looking for a place to stop for a "quick " bite, stay away!!!! read more

My husband and I were looking for someplace to have dinner on our recent trip. We found this place on Yelp. I highly recommend. Chicken wings were awesome and the cranberry walnut salad with their home made dressing was delicious. So glad we stopped. Tricia and Mike from Ohio read more

Wow! What a little gem in Beckley. I would have never even suspected this mom and pop restaurant existed in the heart of a residential area. The food and service here are amazing!

Cool atmosphere, great menu of craft made food, and excellent service. An unexpected gem near downtown Beckley. Definitely worth a detour if you're in the area. read more

Service was OK but can't let the kitchen slide. My family tried this place for dinner on 10/22. I ordered the coffee rubbed ribeye but they served me the Sriracha ribeye. Mistakes are understood, but the shameful part is that they took my wrong steak back to the kitchen, then moments later brought out the same exact steak with added spices and lied to me saying it was a freshly prepared steak on hand "meant for another table." It was the SAME steak as it could be identified by a cut I made to taste it before sending back to the kitchen. It was an unbelievable experience and the kitchen has no concept of major reputation risk. They did comp my meal as it was the clear only option at that point. read more

Briefly: Average. Not bad, but not stellar. I have started to travel to this area a lot for work, and love supporting local businesses and finding hidden gems. Was excited when this popped up and I read the reviews, so had reasonable, but great, expectations. I was disappointed, and my feelings match those before me that gave it an average review. You will have an average meal experience and will be okay coming back, but you'll be likely not to rave about it and hurry back. I arrived around 6:45 and was seated immediately. The restaurant was 80% full and remained so throughout my time there. It took 15 minutes for me to be acknowledged. My server, a young man, came over and he apologized for the delayed. He had brought me water and asked if I was ready to order. No welcome, introduction, or query of I had any questions. I never knew his name. I asked for a diet coke and what the soup of the day was. He told me they were all out of soup. I ordered the blackened catfish po-boy with dill sauce and fries since they were out of soup. Ten minutes later, my diet coke arrived. 30 minutes later my food arrived. It looked fine, but lacked the blackened color (brown-black) - it was more of a very light brown and the the Cajun spices were light on flavor as well. The food was fine, but not impressive enough to make me tell other people to try it (like The Dish in Daniels, WV). My server came by once to ask if all was okay. My server did bring me another diet coke, but after it was empty for a while. Both my drinks arrived 2/3 full. I rarely saw him, so it was difficult to wave him down. I also had a glass of water and I had kind of given up on good customer service. I was ready to move on. It was a unique cold day in the 30s, and I don't think the heat was on. The restaurant is in an old house, so it's probably lacking insulation. Also, it's loud. Not that I would want it, but there is no carpet to absorb sound. Because it's loud, people talk loud to hear each other. So don't go for a quiet dinner. The only thing timely that happened was when I gave my credit card to my server. He was gone and back in a flash. It threw me off and wasn't representative of any of the time leading up to it. Overall, I would come here again, but not rush to it. The food is average and the service could be better, more attentive. My server was not rude, but could be more of an extrovert since he is in a people-serving field, more attentive, and speak louder since it's a loud place. To compare, I went to the chain Outback the night before. I was tired, it was across from my hotel, and I know what to expect. My food was good, but my server was incredible. I never felt ignored and she made sure I was taken care of through and through, including keeping my drink full and updating me on the status of my food and ticket. read more

Visiting the area and intentionally looked for something local over a chain and stumbled upon Dobra Zupas. Very glad we stopped here. From the outside, the place is very unassuming, as it is in an old house, but inside is charming. I ordered the appetizer of wings as my meal with fries and my husband had a Ruben with fries. The wings were perfectly cooked with a crispy skin and the sauce was great. My husband really enjoyed his sandwich as well. Great spot for lunch and really happy we stopped in. Also props to the waitress because she was the only person working the front and she was managing a handful of tables and seating people. Definitely recommend. read more

Was just passing through town and found the name amusing. Not only was the name interesting but so was the food. We had the risotto with chicken and the salmon. Topped It off with a caramel skillet cookie. I would recommend this stop if in town. Nice surprise. read more

Very nice and clean interior with comfortable rooms and decor. I had the feta burger with grilled asparagus. Yummy!! Also tried their key lime gose and lunar eclipse stout. Both were flavorful from front to finish. Fast and friendly staff. Had happy hour beers making it even better!! More people should check it out!! read more

This place is off the beaten path, but WELL worth it. We came just after lunch, around 1:15, and there were only a few other parties. We bucked the reviews and got the Goat Cheese dip - fantastic. It came with Jalapeño jelly and red peppers. We couldn't decide on drinks so the waitress sold us on a flight which allowed us to sample their local stuff. The beer was decent, flavor was awesome, carbonation was a little low. The Catfish Po'Boy was huge and perfectly cooked. Even the fries were just unique enough to stand out. My lady got the Portobello sandwich and Curry soup which she loved. Definitely plan on lunch at this place on your road trip. read more

We found this place on yelp and we were really hoping to like it. The setting is an old house turned into a restaurant and it is beautiful! However, our experience was a total bust. We were so disappointed after driving 4 hours from Columbus. We were staying in Beckley to go to The Greenbrier Classic on Friday. There was only one girl who was working and she had absolutely no help (not her fault). However, it took over 20 mins to just order our drinks. I ordered a vodka soda and my husband a beer from their own draft beer. They could not find soda water so again, another 20 mins went by and still no drink. I have to be careful when ordering food due to dietary restrictions. I asked if I could add plain chicken to the large garden salad, but unfortunately, the chicken is marinated and they could not just grill a plain chicken breast? My husband orders the pepperoni pizza. To top it off there was a TV in the bar area with the BBC showing the life of larva of an insect; totally disgusting and not what I want to watch while eating. She did change the channel immediately when asked. The waitress again was very pleasant, but she was the only person handling the whole house. Update on the food...the salad was terrible. It was bag lettuce which has preservatives and tastes terrible. Not to mention will turn my stomach inside out in a hurry. They were able to accommodate the plain grilled chicken and thank goodness because that was the only thing I could eat. read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight. She ordered the blackened salmon with green beans and rice. Me, a Cowboy Burger with extra lettuce, bacon and onion rings. Both were excellent! Great recipes, prepared well and beautifully presented. My dish was huge, but I was hungry and I ate the whole thing (minus the bun to lose the carbs). Highly recommend this place. The craft beer is great too (my bride had a blonde, and I had an Irish red). read more

This was an incredible find! We were driving through the area on our way to North Carolina and saw this place on Yelp. It looked good but we were still skeptical. Upon arriving, we were greeted by our waitress Rachel. She was extremely nice and helpful, and set us up with water and some sample beer choices. We ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT with Onion Rings, and the Carolina Burger with Fries. Both meals as well as the beer were fantastic!! We have been traveling across the country from California and this was the best meal we have had by far! Highly recommended!! read more

Always prefer to check out local restaurants while traveling and Dobra Zupas is truly a gem! Unassuming restaurant in an old house a very short drive from I-64. Star of our lunch on 11/26/19 was the Bleu Turkey - turkey, bacon, apple slices, bleu cheese dressing - a gourmet arrangement on an unexpected "Dutch Crunch" ciabatta bread. Also excellent was the cornmeal fried catfish po'boy on fresh hoagie and the cup of vegetable loaded tomato soup. Will definitely be a repeat visit when traveling near Beckley. read more

Hands down the best meal we've had in Beckley this week. Fresh ingredients which were prepared and plated in tasty combination, we were actually surprised to find this gem after a week of culinary mediocrity.

Everything we had was amazing Goat cheese appetizer was off the charts followed up by rib eye with jalapeño and blue cheese OMG. My wife had the crab risotto also fantastic. How about the sweet basil vinaigrette dressing on the salad one of the best I have had I have not even mentioned the beer. This is a must stop read more

Cute atmosphere with a beer and wine list that is half the menu! Small food menu but I think it was the perfect amount of choices with a nice variety of options Service was slow. Or maybe they intentionally paced it that way. Fried Goat cheese app was served cold, which surprised me but it was tasty. Side salad is plain but fresh and large. Crab risotto was so-so. It was well cooked but not creamy. I'd try this place again. There were a few things on the menu I'd like! read more

Best kept secret. Fantastic food and such wonderful personal care from your server. . They want you to enjoy your food and being in their family restaurant. They treat you like family. Have their own brewery but food is fantastic. If you want a fun evening and great happy hour Dobra Zupa's is the place to be. Love the staff .Like I said the best kept secret. read more

On a fall motorcycle ride to see the foliage. Got here just 30 min before closing on a Sunday. Brunch menu only at the time. Very friendly although I wouldn't have blamed them if they turned us away due to near closing time of 2 on Sunday. We had the deep fried feta cheese as an appetizer, it was fantastic. Will probably get 2 orders next time, the pepper jelly was a great touch. My wife had the biscuits and gravy and was very satisfied. I chose eggs Benedict. The Hollandaise sauce was excellent . It was some of the best eggs Benedict I've had. Had hash browns as the side and bacon. I'm not much of a potato guy but these were especially tasty. We will definitely return. Beautiful old home, very tastefully remodeled. Our waiter was also bar tending and did an excellent job, very gracious even with our late arrival. read more

Great food: fried Goat Cheese, crab Risotto, Corn beef Reuben , fried green tomatoe BLT. If your close it is a must
