We came all the way from New York but the staff and people at the Mad Hatter made us feel very welcome there. The drinks were good and the ambiance was a dive bar, but done really well.

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.

My husband ordered the Monte Cristo because he was craving sweet and savory and of course I sampled some for myself. The jam was fantastic! I had the Dijon chicken with broccoli cheese casserole and it was like eating at my grandma's house. Everything was delish and the prices here are so good. I also love that they give you a buttery croissant instead of a dry roll or biscuit. It elevates the meal while still keeping that homemade vibe.

I can get where people are saying it is a little steep, because it is, but it is good to have a barbeque place in the area.

Overall, it is a good option for the area.

The inside building was filled with local artist creations from lamps, pottery, jewelry, walking sticks, music instruments, blown glass, 2D art and food. After finding out pepperoni rolls are the unofficial state food of WV, we picked 2 up, and made a 4 pack of WV beers. We spent almost 2 hours browsing everything in this shop. You can watch glass being blown and pottery being made through the artists windows. Highly recommend this place if you like local and unique art. Ps, you purchase your things at customer service. It was a bit confusing, a stranger stopped to ask us where to pay so we weren't the only confused ones.

Omelet That Slide…read more Founded in 1948 by the eponymous Bob Evans in Gallipolis, OH. While no longer run by the Evans family, Bob Evans restaurants are now numbered somewhere around 450 restaurants nationwide (mostly in the Midwestern/Southern regions of the USA, altho they do have locations in PA, NY, & NJ). This location is not too far from Hwy 19 here in WV and would make a good stop for road trippers and commuters alike. The Good: *Friendly and prompt service *Coffee was classic diner fare *Prices are ridiculously cheap for large portions (please note I'm from CA, so take that with as grain of salt) *Large and plentiful parking lot *Biscuits were bomb AF *Chicken Fried Steak was not spectacular, but it got the job done. The eggs were cooked well; the steak was nice and crispy; and the hash browns were the classic representation. The Meh: . *Décor is on the non-offensive kinda boring classic diner motif. *While the food was all very good, nothing was spectacular and worthy of an immediate return trip. The Ugly: *Whatever you do, don't look at the calories for the food here. 0_o TLDR: Solid American fare that's a good solid stop when available, and also easy on the wallet, too.

This restaurant was a ghost town when we walked in Thursday night, but at least we were seated…read morequickly! I suspect they are busier on weekends. They have peanuts to eat while you wait for your food, and I assume that you are welcome to leave the shells on the floor due to the scraps and shards of peanuts past still littered on the floor. Despite this, the floor was extremely clean, which is why I am (to this day) unsure if they really encouraged people to discard their shells on the floor. Regardless, the service was decent. The atmosphere is fairly rustic and simplistic, with concrete floors and dim lighting. Neon signs and Jimmy Buffet posters were placed here and there along the wall. Just your typical roadhouse. The yeast rolls were delicious, and they came out warm. We ordered our food quickly. While we were waiting on our food, the waitress came back to tell one member of our 6 person party that their salmon would have to be served a different way than the way she ordered it, but it appeared to be a very minor change (maybe the seasoning? it was unclear). The food came out after about 10 minutes and it was good, but not spectacular. It would have been better if it were warmer; it seemed like some of the faster fare (burgers and steaks) were cooked before some of the baked items (mac and cheese) so the former was pretty much lukewarm. I ordered the 3 Original Roadies, which is just 3 slider cheeseburgers. All of them were dry and the cheese was much smaller than the already small patty, but the pickle gave it a bit more moisture and I could never get tired of those yeast rolls. Other items that were ordered and their reviews: salmon was good, sweet potato had to be re-ordered because the butter and sugar did not come on the side; the chopped steak was ordered medium rare and came out a bit on the rare side (make sure you err on the side of caution there!) and mac and cheese was hot but very greasy. Overall, this place was decent but not spectacular in both food, service, and atmosphere.
