    Menu of appetizers and sandwiches
    Tiffany Y.

    Stillwaters is the main restaurant at the Stonewall Resort. My husband and I ate several breakfasts and dinners here, and I will summarize all of the meals in this review. Stonewall Resort's website recommends that customers make reservations for Stillwaters. I made no reservations at all, and I fortunately always received a table with no wait. All of the seating hostesses and waitresses provided timely and friendly service. The waitresses brought us frequent refills of beverages without us having to ask. I appreciate that the last waitress gave me a free small sample of yogurt with activated charcoal so I could try it. (If you are wondering, the activated charcoal made the yogurt appear dark grey and gave it a slightly gritty texture. The taste did not change much.) Customers may order off of menus (see my attached photos), or they may eat a selection of foods at the buffets, which vary slightly each day. For each of my meals, I ate at the buffet. The buffet cost $19 per person for breakfast and $34 per person for dinner. Examples of buffet foods for breakfast are pancakes, French toast, apple crisp, biscuits, grits, potatoes, bacon, sausage, muffins, cherry cobbler, scrambled eggs, hash browns, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, blackberries, etcetera. Examples of buffet foods for dinner are brisket, pulled pork, prime rib, chicken, pasta salad, caesar salad, green beans, broccoli, salmon, mashed potatoes, baked beans, carrot cake, cherry pie, cheesecake, etcetera. Overall, the food tasted good. My husband said that his prime rib was "really good" and that his chicken was "juicy" and "tangy" and the "highlight" of a meal.

    The food was great, you could choose from either the Stillwaters menu or the TJMuskies menu as they operate under the same kitchen. Food options were varied and not just run of the mill. Everyone in our 5 party group had no problem choosing something they liked. They offered both a dinner and breakfast buffet with many foods to choose from. The ambiance was very casual with nice decor and everything was clean. I heard one of the staff say that they are slowly renovating the space although it didn't seem outdated to me. The service was phenomenal, they were all very friendly and accommodating. Dale was one of our favorite servers. Our group ate here exclusively during our stay in one of the Lakehouses. I highly recommend this restaurant. (Incidentally, we never made reservations because on a vacation we don't want to have to watch a clock and we wanted to eat when we were hungry and we never had problems getting seated right away although the hostesses sort of acted snippy that we didn't have reservations)

    Stillwater's was great. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which consisted of many great items to include: eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, French toast, waffles, pancakes, bagels, fruit, oatmeal and so much more! The dinner buffet was also great, some items included: prime rib carving station, hot sausage, potatoes, rigatoni, chicken and dumplings, catfish cakes, fresh vegetables and a soup and salad bar. The desserts were also wonderful. We enjoyed the cheesecake and tiramisu trifle. Cannot wait to come back again! This restaurant was top notch.

    Excellent for dinner, horrible for breakfast. Keep in mind I have only stayed at the Stonewall Jackson Resort on a couple of occasions over the past few years so my experience is largely anecdotal. For dinner, they go all out on the buffet. Mind you, the idea of a buffet seemingly cheapens the quality of the food from the consumer's viewpoint - but in fact the food is prepared by chefs who know what they are doing in the kitchen and do a fairly good job at doing it well. Their particular niche is modern Appalachian cuisine - and compared to other similar food types I have had in the state, this place definitely ranks to be one of the best. My favorite thing about the food is that it was all seemingly relatively light and healthy when compared to the more traditional ways of cooking this cuisine. The NY strip, served on both nights I was there, was cut into manageable portions. It was perfectly seared on the outside and an excellent medium rare in the middle. Speaking from experience, such thick cuts have proven to be difficult to pull this off like they do. Their pastas and casseroles also speak of freshness unparalled in most places. I can't talk their dinner up enough. Imagine if Shoney's focus was on the quality of each ingredient and the cooks had the training to make each dish perfect. Their breakfast is another issue. It is pretty much a hotel continental breakfast with a high charge. I want to see the Appalachian focus brought over the breakfast menu. For that price, I want to see locally harvested fish for breakfast (or some meat protein other than pork, which I can not eat). I want to see a higher influence of seasonal vegetables. I got an omelette and potatoes for breakfast. I wasn't even able to eat my potatoes because I am fairly certain there was more grease than potatoes on that dish. There was also a piece of bacon in my omelette, which gagged me because I cannot eat pork. The waitress said she was going to discount me, which she didn't. I didn't bring this back up to her because my goal in informing her was just to bring it to her attention, not to get money off my final bill. This restaurant represents the culinary backbone of our state, and it is one of the reasons I am looking forward on returning to the resort in future years. They have become much better since the first I've visited, I hope that this trend continues.

    Service was a little spotty. Buffet was good but overpriced. Problem is there really isn't anywhere else to go.

Traversing WV to Canaan Valley for a week of skiing, I had noted Tudor's as a lunch stop - Incredible $5.00 - $6.00 for 2 biscuits and sausage gravy. The Buchannon Tudor's is adjacent to 33 and is in the Walmart parking lot Expect counter service at this diner, and that is not a bad thing. All of the ladies employed greeted us with smiles and interest in our experience. In our view, the biscuits are large and very good; the gravy could have much more sausage. We were struct about how clean and nice this Tudor's appeared (this is Not the case for all Tudor's.) I asked if this were a new restaurant, and the server responded that this Tudor's was built in 1980s. There are several photos of WV's Senator Byrd on the walls. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia was not related to the prominent Byrd political family of Virginia. Despite sharing a surname, they came from entirely different backgrounds. Lots of folks were enjoying a nice lunch, and more than a few offered prayers prior to breaking bread.

    The first time I ate here was in October of 2023 with my girlfriend. It was a very special night…read morebecause it was our first getaway together and our first romantic dinner together. So, anytime we are in the area we like to stop in to relive those unforgettable memories, which has been several since then. This is one of the very few places that I have always recommended to anyone who lives remotely close to the area, who is traveling close by for work, or is visiting the area for the amazing outdoor activities they have to offer. So let's delve into why this place is one of my favorite dining destinations in West Virginia, but why I also have certain issues with it as well. The things this place does that makes it so great are the things that most restaurant in large cities do to stay relevant. They evolve with said times and constantly change things up to make themselves more enticing in regards to each and every dining experience you have here. There are very few places if any in West Virginia that can give you all this place has to offer. Whether it's well crafted cocktails, somewhat eloquent and mostly fresh and well seasoned dishes, or an ambience inside or outside that is a diamond in the rough. I have been to several 1, 2, and 3 Michelin star restaurants and how they operate in regards to service is what sets them apart from everyone else but also which most can only dream of achieving. This place could probably get one star at some point in time if certain aspects were to change, truly. Listen, I don't mind paying a lot of money for an experience that blows my mind, even if it's just a one or two bite 7 or 9 course tasting menu, but this place wants to blow up your wallet without ever achieving such mind altering dishes. The food is good don't get me wrong, but not 2 and 3 Michelin star prices good for what you get. The last time I went here we spent $125 on two apps which were literally four bites each and two cocktails. Is that a lot of money for the amount of food and drinks we got in a small town in rural West Virginia, absolutely! I get it, charge a high price and see if people will pay it and go from there, but most will only do that once or maybe twice because of the atmosphere or higher expectations upon returning, but the food and service doesn't match the price points in any of my personal experiences here. With that being said, I do love this place and I have stayed here as well. Are the rooms fancy or even above average, No! The hotels down the road are cheaper, much nicer, and include amenities, but to be able to enjoy a nice meal on their patio with an amazing view over a bottle of wine, tasty cocktails, or local beers and not have to worry about driving is worth the price in my opinion. I will say, The Forks is still one of my favorite restaurants in West Virginia. Not just because the food is good(not great but good) but because it's the total experience in itself. It's hard to find a restaurant that serves good food and drinks with a view like they have, especially in West Virginia and that is their main selling point and that is why most come and take pics of the views and dishes but leave wondering how they spent $150-250(before tip) on a meal for two with maybe one drink each while still being hungry and annoyed by the service and high prices. I'd say come to grips with the fact they want you to believe that you are eating at the French Laundry in NAPA Valley, but in all actuality you're just eating at a restaurant with somewhat locally sourced foods depending on the season from people with high expectations of their customers without ever truly proving that their food, drinks, and service are worth their prices. I do check their menu on a regular basis to see if they are offering anything new that I'd like to come and try. I have seen a subtle drop in their prices which leads me to believe they are starting to realize that they can still attain the same type of clientele without ever causing new customers to never return. To end this review I'd like to say that their service is probably the worst part of your dining experience here. In fact you will get better service at a local chain restaurant. If you are a waiter or owner treat every customer as if they are Pete Wells of the NY Times because you never know who can break or make you. If you own a restaurant and you don't have the personality to make your new customers feel warm and welcome, I'd say stay in the kitchen and let someone who can be the head of house so they can hire a proper staff who are friendly, smile, and make you feel they are very grateful for your business. FYI: The last time we came here we literally sat looking at each other for about 20 minutes after finishing our food and drinks before finally getting so annoyed that we got up and walked up to one of the owners to pay our bill, unacceptable.
