The food here is always excellent, and this is a unique stop to have in downtown Parkersburg. The service is usually a little on the slow side, and this trip proved the same. However, the beer is cold and the food remains consistently above average. read more

Where to start?? Made reservations, We arrived prior to reservation time. Was told to wait by the front door. Waited for over 40 minutes. Then, was directed to sit the bar, to wait further. Sat at the bar another 30 minutes, waiting to be seated at our reserved table. No one working behind the bar acknowledged our presence. However, they sure were acknowledging the cell phones that never left their hands. Basically, this place is a complete dump!! I sat, watched, & observed, Incredible Rudeness & neglect to many customers. If you like having no value placed upon you from a business, you're at the right place! The place is also very unsanitary.. I witnessed very disturbing actions, from bartenders. One example; constantly playing with hair, touching their mouths, wiping their nose, with hands, coughing on drinks, etc.. It's just a disgusting place.. read more

I loved the new trivia go guy. The food is fabulous. Had the burger got General Tso vegetables to go for my daughter. Loved it! Great atmosphere! read more

The staff is wonderful, the food is some of the best in town and the owner has such a passion for bringing downtown back up to par he's just amazing. Thank you Zac Huffman for all you have done downtown. And might I mention it's a great place to work for. read more

Sunday brunch experience was pleasant. Quiet dim light bar that serves brunch the first Sunday of the month. The food was good, nothing out of this world, and a little on the pricey side, but overall an enjoyable experience. Service was good. Our party had the coal miners breakfast, Nutella French Toast, Spicy Smothered hash-browns, and the spicy biscuits and gravy. The pancakes where very good - fluffy and not too sweet. The Nutella FT was good but needed more filling, and maybe bananas instead of the 4 slices of strawberries in the middle and on top. The coal miner was a plateful, and the biscuits where very good. The sausage gravy was ok, and the spicy hash brown lefts you wanting something more...like it was missing an element. Neither those, nor the 'spicy' sausage gravy had any kind of spice. Overall would do again, but nothing to get super hyped about. read more

I enjoy their entertainment. I recently went to their open mike night. At about eleven o'clock, they transitioned to an after-party with black lights, day glow paints and dance music. Fun! read more

Loved our first visit there. Had a blast during name that tune. The set up could of been better (cheating was very prevalent). Food was good, service wasn't so much. The staff seemed quite confused. We will be back for sure! read more

Had a mojito that was pretty poor, couldn't taste the mint (which was a single leaf sitting on top of the ice, rather than being muddled into the drink) Food was alright, typical bar food appetizers (missing cheese curds) overcooked burgers and over salted. Mine was so salty it left me with a headache, the rest of the group said theirs were a little heavy on salt but not as bad as mine. The bill came and looked like we had been charged more for our food ($5 burger plus a $4 salad came to $11). We were told after asking that only two of the burgers were $5, which wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menus or by our servers. Our server was polite and attentive, and it was her first day on the job. Several of the staff were wearing masks, but had them beneath their chins so they were rather pointless. Wouldn't refuse to go back, but nothing really stood out for us to really want to go back. read more

service was excellent, very attentive. food was very good, we were there on Bourbon night, we were not rushed, each course came out with ample time between so you could enjoy your meal.. read more

Met some work gals for brunch. $5 bloody's and $10 bottomless mimosas, sounds amazing eh?! Aside from the company, that was the only good part. I ordered a classic hamburger without the bun. Wasn't going to eat it so I thought I'd save the business a couple cents and just have them lay it on a bed of lettuce. Burger came out how I ordered it except it was burnt to a crisp. Regardless if I got the bun or not, it was not worth $8. Also our waitress (who I think is the owners mother) wasn't very attentive, super clueless. Three of us paid with cash and NO ONE got change back...even IF the remainder was meant to be her tip, none of that was communicated and she just didn't bring any change back. ‍ Like, what!!?! First impressions are huge to me and well, I won't be returning. read more

What an awesome spot!! I'm in town visiting and this was the first place we went for dinner out! The vibe is very much lounge-y with dimmer lights and louder music (I went around 7:30pm on a weekday). Loved the atmosphere but the main star of the show was the food! The cheese curds are a MUST. Get them and get some ranch for them please. My boyfriend got a southwest burger (it was $5 burger night) and it was amazing and cooked very well. I got the Korean chicken wrap which was very good but I'd honestly probably get a burger next time or try something new. You know one of those places that you know all of their food is gunna be good no matter what you order? This is one of them! Also our waitress was so incredibly nice and checked on us multiple times. I'd go back just for the service! read more

Great atmosphere and food for a dinner. Unique selection and solid menu. Pretty wide beer selection and drink choices range from boozy shot to put together old fashioned read more

I've been here several time on the weekend during bar hours! But I had yet to make it out for the actually diner hours. Tonight I finally got a chance to make it out with my girlfriend! We went in and it also happened to be $5 burger night so we were pumped! I got a burger with jalapeños and bacon and fries! We also ordered cheese curds! The cheese curds were the best I've had and the sauce drizzled on top of them was sweet and spicy! The burger was so juicy and cooked exactly how I requested it! The fries are also amazing. They are like a cross between almost a Cajun/curly fry outside breading, but larger thick cut fries. The house ketchup is fantastic as well. It's like a spicy dark color almost BBQ hybrid. Besides the food, they also have great cocktails and they had my favorite local beer on tap: Devil's Anse. Overall, we left stuffed and I won't have to eat for 3 days! Definitely recommend for anyone wanting great food for a reasonable price! Plus they always have specials and trivia and late nights it's a bar! Will be back!! read more

The Cocktail Bar - Ordering our first dinner! Yum! - Sandwiches Near Me - Parkersburg, West Virginia

Stopped in here on our way back to the hotel from the Parkersburg Brewery. We just came in for a drink. As soon as you walk in, it smells like deep fryer hell!!! You need to rent a pore cleaning machine when you leave here. We ordered Tito's Vodka and water. It was really weak. Would NEVER come back. read more

Love taco Tuesday! And the burgers are awesome. Just don't forget to wash it down with a bucket of beer.. Or three

My better half and I needed a quick place for lunch and coffee and this place really hit the spot. Ordered the pour over coffee and a breakfast quesadilla (breakfast for lunch, why not??). Breakfast quesadilla was made to order with scrambled eggs, cheese and super crispy bacon (none of that flaccid crap that's a poor excuse for bacon). Pour over coffee was amazing and very reasonably priced. My better half had an americano which was equally as delicious. I'm not from Parkersburg and was therefore just passing through via D.C./Baltimore. Please take this with a grain of salt, as I am an outsider, but I hope that locals continue to support this place. Your downtown area has a lot of history and is very charming, but I would love to see it filled with more local businesses. I am not from the area, but my boyfriend is so we visit a few times a year. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in town. Here's to supporting local businesses!!! read more

We love The Cocktail Bar. My favorite food so far has been the pulled pork nachos, but honestly there hasn't been anything I've tried and not liked. Our last visit was on Valentine's Day for the 4 course meal and it all tasted amazing! The steak was very generous in size. My only complaint would be the bacon on my salad was very salty, but it didn't stop me from eating it. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I love this place! The coffee and atmosphere are great. Food is good too. The live music on occasion is also a nice touch. Staff are nice and the overall vibe makes me happy to live near such a cool cafe. read more

Picked up food to bring home. The pulled pork nachos were really good! I had the shrimp tacos - good, but felt they could use more filling. My kids both had burgers and reported they were great. read more

I really enjoy the coffee. It's ground and served by the cup. I haven't strayed much from the Goldie because it's a 5 Star. Highly recommend it. I've had the food a few times and I'm always satisfied with the sandwiches. They use a panini grill and grab and build in front of you. A little awkward but the product is just fine. They've recently turned into into a bar as well but I've not had a chance to try any signatures cocktails or mixed drinks. Check it out. Worth it for coffee alone. read more

The DH and I stopped in here for breakfast when we were in town for a wedding. I had the oatmeal with granola which was delicious! It was on the very sweet side, complete with chocolate chips. The DH had a muffin, which was sweet and dense, as well as the Goldie Hawn- espresso with honey and syrup. The food and drink were all overly sweet, but served as a nice breakfast treat. The decor was industrial, but modern- we loved the vibe of the interior. It looked like they had lots of good lunch options as well. read more

I will try my best to not eat anywhere else in Parkersburg besides this place after having it for the first time. The quality is always great, they seat you quickly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The food takes a minute but it is very worth the wait! read more

This poor place is trying, but just isn't there yet. I've visited this cafe probably six or seven times, so my rating is based on multiple visits. I've returned each time as a way to support a small, local business, however I doubt I will go back. Here are my thoughts: 1.) Pricing: Their prices don't align with the quality and portion sizes of their food. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with generic potato chips on the side and a chai latte. My total was around $16. To be fair, the food was good, but a sandwich like this shouldn't cost more than seven or eight dollars. I've also ordered the hummus platter on several occasions. Again, the platter is good, but you pay nearly $6 for very, very little food. TCB menu pricing will make it difficult for them to compete with the Paneras of the world, where you can received better and more food for your dollar. 2.) The vibe: The general vibe of this place has potential. Decent branding, exposed brick, nice furniture. However, the music at the cafe consists of bad top 40 covers displayed as videos on a projector. The music selection is out-of-place, and everyone I've brought to the cafe has commented on it. 3.) The coffee: They've got this figured out. Every drink I've had from TCB has been great, so maybe this is a better place for grab-and-go coffee. 4.) The service: Eh, they're working on it. I can tell that all the employees are trying to get it together, however the service is a mess every time I've visited. The employees are awkward and don't know how to greet customers. During my last visit, the waitress took 15 minutes to prepare a coffee and hot tea. Additionally, the ordering system is confusing. Do I sit and wait to order? Do I order at the counter? Each time I've visited, the staff has implemented a different procedure and I'm always left confused about how I'm supposed to order. I think a customer service bootcamp may be in order. read more

This is a good start for the Parkersburg area, but The Coffee Bar has a lot of room to grow. I appreciate the atmosphere and the size of the location. Normally coffee shops do not have the budget for such large locations and are forced into small venues. The Coffee Bar has well-spaced out, comfortable seating. The internet is also fast, which is a huge positive for me personally. I would highly suggest that they use a different bean for the espresso. There is a misconception that espresso must be made with very, very dark beans. The actual flavor of the beans has been cooked away, leaving only strong bitterness. When beans are over-roasted, the natural acidity becomes stripped, which is one of the factors that give signature coffees fruity or floral notes. This coffee has neither. My only other issue is that three times I have ordered a latté and received a cappuccino. This is understandable because there is nowhere in the surrounding area to receive formal training and creating good, strong microbubbles without milk foam can be a difficult task. I truly hope that they can succeed. read more

One of the few places to eat in Parkersburg, WV. I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. First time in the area and here on business. Nice variety on the menu. I had the grilled cheese no pesto and garlic fried. Food was out quick Bread in sandwich was a bit dry but the combo of cheese and bacon was good. The garlic fried were very good with a tangy ketchup. read more

Well if you could get any of the waitresses to get off of their phones to help you, that'd be a good start. Then once you have their attention, it'd be nice if they didn't walk away or talk to other people as you were trying to talk or ask a question. Completely over priced and an absolute joke to say it's even decent service. read more

Tried door dashing cocktail bar last month and had one of the best dinners we have had in a long time. Previously the food was inedible but this time around it was really good. We all enjoyed everything we ordered. The fried green tomatoes and Korean chicken salad were really good. read more

One of my favorite places for lunch! Great food and amazing speciality drinks. They have weekly specials too which makes trying new things great! read more

Very bad service. Waited over an hr to get food. I understand busy ... but hey that's the food industry. Get over it.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots in the MOV. Food is delicious and service is quick and kind. Their classic bacon burger is the best burger in town and their garlic fries and homemade Ketchum is to die for. Highly recommend this place. I still need to hit up the night scene here because they have a really cute bar and signature drinks. Not to mention the awesome happy hour! read more

My wife is a regular there for coffee. She raves about the Cubano! In not a coffee drinker. We had lunch there yesterday. I built my own panini and she had soup (black bean chili) and salad. Both were very good. In addition the soup and salad and panini, she got a coffee and to go small hot chocolate. Our bill was $30. The services isn't fast, if you are in a hurry, don't go. But the quality is there. Good food and great coffee (according to the wife). read more

We did a coffee/lunch order this afternoon and everything was excellent. The coffees were varied (something for everyone) and the yogurt parfaits were a big hit. Two of us ordered the chicken salad sandwich and loved every bite. The hummus is second-to-none. read more

Mind blowing awful experience. I hung some artwork here. Oil paintings worth many hours of work and sentimental value were damaged. Took days to get an answer from staff. When located, i was offered reimbursement for one after THE FIRST WAS THROWN IN THE GARBAGE. Like a piece of trash. Before I was notified of course. The one i got back was missing the frame! A business that supports local artist behaves like this? Oh no. If the art was on the wall like it should've been, this wouldn't have happened. Call next time before you put someone's hard work in a basement. read more

If you're looking for cute, new place to drink coffee and chill out, TBC is a pleasant place to go. For the atmosphere, it is very cozy and relaxing. It's good for catching up on work or catching up with a friend. As for the food, I got a sandwich and it wasn't the best thing I've ever tasted, but it wasn't the worst and got rid of my hunger. However, the coffee is amazing! I got a caramel white chocolate latte and it was delicious! read more

Super weird vibe Saturday night. Went out for karaoke and the guy who was running it was incredibly rude. He told us we couldn't sign up cause they cut it off- which is 100% understandable, we were bar hopping and it was late- however, he proceeded to tell us about how no one pays him and he isn't allowed to stay for tips or something.. like.. why are you telling your customers this? Customers don't need to hear about any of that. I run a bar in California and never would my employees talk to a customer this way. He was practically yelling at us about his money problems. I didn't order a single drink because the bartender was rude and very slow. Acting as if she's doing us a favor by being there. My friends drinks were pathetic. After about 10 minutes we ended up going back to My Way, who did karaoke all night and were quick at giving us drinks. Sucks because the bar is so pretty and aesthetically pleasing but couldn't stand to be in there cause the energy was so weird. Hopefully y'all can get a better and happier staff soon. 2 stars for how pretty it is there. 0 stars for everything else. read more

Such a cute little place! The atmosphere is cozy and the food is delicious! The menu is organic based with is something we need more of in this small town. The food was AMAZING. I got the salmon salad, yum! However, everyone at our table was very pleased with their meal! Especially the house ketchup! Loved the seasonal coffees and soups. Although we were there for lunch, the drink menu looked intriguing. Many things I'd like to try! The service was friendly and quick. No wait time. The owner is also very active in the business and spent a lot of time at our table. This is one of our new favorite spots. read more

The atmosphere is amazing and the food was very good, and the staff I very friendly. Th only reason for the 4 star and not 5 is the prices were just a little higher than I would expect for lunch. I hot the grown up grilled cheese but it was 10$ which seems a little steep but I did come with kettle chips and as delicious. read more
