The local high school in Elkview, WV (formerly Clendenin, WV) is Herbert Hoover High School and…read moretheir mascot is the Husky. The Husky Den is a locally owned restaurant operated by Billy Wehrle, a Big Chimney, Elk River born and raised resident, and a huge supporter of HHHS sports for several decades. The interior of the newly opened restaurant is filled with memorabilia and artifacts from the new and old school. According to their Facebook page they have one goal, to become the #1 place for West Virginia style hot dogs in the state. I've eaten a lot of WV hotdogs at a lot of places all over the state, including the formally ranked #2 hot dog at Yokums near Seneca Rocks. The Husky Den puts up a really good fight with their hot dogs and they definitely belong right there at the top. This place is definitely worth the stop if you love West Virginia style hot dogs. The menu is ever evolving and they focus on locally sourced food such as using local beef and vegetables when possible. The restaurant has revived local classics that no longer exist such as the Larry Maynor Blue Creek Special which was a sandwich served to high school students at a local convenience store that was open for decades but was lost when Maynors closed. The prices are really great and affordable for all, aimed at being available and within reach of the high school students located nearby. The inside is quite small but the staff are well trained and move orders quickly. There is a really nice outside eating area adjacent to the restaurant and there is parking in front of and behind the building. Since the Clendenin Dairy Queen closed there was no where on the Elk River that you could get a proper WV dog until now. Stop in and support a local business that supports the local school and students.

If you've been searching the world for *the* perfect Reuben sandwich, stop. Put down your passport…read more Cancel your food pilgrimage. Because the greatest Reuben of all time isn't hiding in some upscale deli in New York or tucked away in a quaint European bistro. No, it's right here in Elkview, WV--at The Husky Den. I don't know what kind of wizardry they're working with in that kitchen, but their Reuben is *transcendent*. The corned beef is piled high, juicy enough to make a grown man weep. The Swiss cheese melts like it's been blessed by the culinary gods, and the sauerkraut? Perfection. But let's talk about the bread--crispy, golden, with just the right crunch, like it was toasted by angels. And don't get me started on the ratio. Some places drown their Reubens in dressing like they're trying to hide something. But The Husky Den? They understand balance. Every bite is a harmonious symphony of flavors, an edible masterpiece that could bring international peace if only world leaders would sit down and try it. Long story short--if you love food, you owe it to yourself to make the pilgrimage to Elkview and order this Reuben. Just prepare to have all other sandwiches ruined for you forever.

The set up is hilariously insane, worth the stop alone. The cashier was fun and friendly, and the graffiti in the women's room was inspiring! I have a basic bitch stomach, so got the "Puppy" with just ketchup. Sproßling got the Mothman, garnished with I believe onion rings and 1000 Island. Husband got his smothered in jalapeños. We split a full size onion rings, which were hot and tasty. We all had Gold Peak tea. The dogs tasted great, if I had a normal stomach I would have gotten a second one. As it was, we were in and out and back on the road quick as a wink!

We planned a trip to Williamsburg, VA over the week after Christmas. Coming from SoIN/Louisville KY area we are going I-64 E. About 200 miles later (and about 20 miles round trip out of the way) we ended up at Hillbilly Hot Dogs. So about the food... you'll see the pics of the dogs we ordered. Not fantastic hot dogs, but a good experience. The service was impeccable. If you left a tip the cashier sang a song. She had a really nice voice too! This place has a 3 choices for huge hot dogs with a couple of pounds of toppings. The Homewrecker, the Widowmaker, and Pick Yer Wrecker. We saw a guy and his wife eating one as we were leaving, and it was epic. It was a fun place to go to see some the nostalgia in the "old-time" things hanging as the decor.

I climbed the steps to the second floor decking where you place your order at the window. There is a lot of flooding in this area with Elk River and Big Sandy right there as well, so that explains the high rise eatery. There are 2 windows but on this visit only one was open. I waited my turn. The decking is more like a porch with a roof. The menu is posted twice on the walls near each window. They have burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and sandwiches, corn dogs, fries, drinks, ice cream....as you can see about everything I ordered 2 hot dogs with everything which included mustard, chili, slaw and onions. Also a large Pepsi total was under $7. She asked me which car was mine and told me they would bring it out. Hot Dog was very food!!!

I saw this one Yelp and loved that it was locally owned and focuses primarily on hot dogs and similar foods. Although they also put ketchup on their WV dogs, we opted for them without and they were by far our favorite!! Located on what appears to be a main drag of town, it's unassuming but also spacious if someone wants to sit and eat. The people who run it are super friendly, accommodating, and happy to help - something that's truly hard to come by in Florida. As for the food, it was SO good! We ordered 12 WV hot dogs, 1/2 regular and 1/2 with the Cole slaw on the side for better leftovers. Not only were they delicious, but they were happy to put the Cole slaw on the side so they made great leftovers too! We also tried the corn dogs, fries, onion rings, and fried bologna sandwich (another WV staple we are trying everywhere we can). The corn dogs were corn dogs and the fries were okay (we had gotten them for the kids), but the onion rings were very tasty and the fried bologna sandwich was amazing!! Their sauce is both slightly sweet but also has a nice kick - almost like Arby's sauce with some spice, and we all loved it! We have since tried 2 other bologna sandwiches and 3 other WV hot dogs and none have been as good as Bammy's so far! They definitely know how to do WV comfort food! If you ever find yourself in NW WV, you've got to try this place! E

I rolled down my window and before I could say a word, "HI there, may I take your order?"...Take my order? I looked over at Tony, clearly puzzled..I asked her, "Is this curb service?", she smiled brightly, "But of course!!"...
