Merryland Express is such a wonderful little gem! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. Everything we tried was excellent, and the portions were generous as well. What really stood out, though, was how welcoming and kind everyone was. It's the kind of locally owned place you genuinely feel good about supporting. Great food, great service, and such a lovely experience all around. If you're in Beckley and looking for fantastic Chinese food, definitely give Merryland Express a try. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I wish I had taken photos, but I ended up getting their version of a Philly and that Gouda cheese sauce is to die for. I was supposed to get banana peppers but I believe they forgot them, which is okay, but I think it would've been better with them. My fiancé got the blackened steak Alfredo, and the steak was cooked to perfection, but the Alfredo sauce lacked flavor honestly. For appetizers we have tried their hummus with the pita and their cheese sticks. Cheese sticks are always good but I felt as though their hummus was questionable and also lacked flavor.

We started out with the pretzel bits. I've had these a few times in the past, and these were by far the best. They were soft and buttery and had a memorable flavor. My first choice for an entrée was that Ahi tuna poke bowl. But alas, we were informed that they no longer offered it. I settled for a Caesar salad with salmon and my wife ordered a spinach salad with strawberries and goat cheese. I've had more authentic Caesar salads, but having the lightly dressed lettuce topped with a huge piece of salmon (~5 oz.) turned out to be a very filling and delightful dinner choice for the price. My wife's salad was not as large and she opted for no protein, but she seemed to enjoy it just the same. Bunkers boasts a cozy atmosphere with dark wood, a small bar and a fireplace.

We were seated immediately on a Friday at around 1pm. I love their vegetarian options but this is a place that assumes if you are a vegetarian, that you like and must have onions and mushrooms in every meal. I couldn't find much other than pancakes/pastries/sweet shit that didn't have onions and mushrooms but fortunately, they were able to accommodate my request for the tofu scramble without onions or mushrooms. GF ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with, you guessed it, onions and mushrooms (among other things). My tofu scramble was good but calling it a scramble is slightly misleading as it is actually tofu cubes albeit very crispy and tasty tofu cubes. This dish was probably potatoes. A few spinach leaves and maybe 1/100th of a pepper. I will concede to the fact that some of that volume might have been taken up by mushrooms and onions. The dish was very good regardless and the accompanying salsa added a really nice extra je ne sais quoi. I also really like the pay first and then leave whenever you want model to avoid being held hostage to bad service not to say that they would've provided bad service but it is a risk anywhere. Regarding GF's quesadilla which I did not have the pleasure of sampling bc of onions of mushrooms "I thought it was decent". When I asked if she had any details or specifics to add, she replied, "no".

Mind you, the restaurant was not packed, but they seated us in between two tables when there were at least 6 other open tables in the room. Server was quick, friendly. I ordered breadsticks, not realizing that they provide bread for the table (I made the assumption they didn't based on the menu having bread and breadsticks listed). The breadsticks were a very odd texture - seemed doughy but they were not undercooked, lots of butter & garlic. I had the stuffed shells for my entree. My salad consisted of lettuce and cut up tomatoes (which I hate), nothing more. Therefore I had lettuce with my French dressing. The entree came out quickly and looked great. However, the ricotta on the inside of the stuffed shells was super creamy and not very tasty. The sauce was ok, not sweet enough for my liking, but not bad either. The shells themselves were al dente, but seemed chewy. My husband had the shrimp cocktail, which he enjoyed. He ordered the chicken parm with spaghetti as his side. The chicken parm looked great, but seemed to be a frozen chicken patty that was deep fried and drenched in sauce/mozzarella. The spaghetti was pretty good. Overall, meh. Won't be back, but we had something to eat and supported local not a franchise so there's that.
