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".

    We loved this unique and fun little place, with all the old pictures on the wall. It's set up like…read morean old country store with seating on the front porch, and inside as well. If you navigate from the Visitor's Center, it is conveniently located like 5 minutes away. Parking is very limited, but like others have said, if you wait a few minutes, someone will leave. We ate inside because I wanted to look at all the pictures and stuff on the walls. Stormy was an amazing server. She attended to our every need, and helped us with directions to where we were going. We both had the brisket sandwich, and I can't say enough about this brisket. Perfectly smoked, moist on the inside, and the PERFECT amount of crisp char on the outside to give it a little crunch. It's topped in battered onions. My hubby had a side of the Mac and cheese with his, and I was jealous that I didn't get any. It looked perfectly gooey and incredibly cheesy! If I could do more than five stars I would!

    What a great find. After spending the morning hiking the park we decided we needed to try a WV hot…read moredog. Found this cool place on yelp as having the best hot dog. A sign out front announced the hot dog special. Two dogs with mustard, slaw, chili, and onions. Also included chips and drink. Our order arrived fairly quickly. The dogs were really good. We ate on the front porch on a nice fall day. The place is a small store that serves good food. Glad we stopped.

    Just from the length of the drive thru line you can tell this place is popular amongst the locals…read more We popped in to get our last taste of West Virginia culture before heading back to NY. Not too much to choose from as a vegetarian. Both GF and I went with the hash brown and cheese biscuit sandwich. GF added a side of gravy, I a side of apples. It took a little longer than expected given the simplicity of our order but as I said, the place was inundated with customers. Biscuits were delicious. Hash brown was very crispy. Cheese could have been more plentiful. Apples were fantastic literally what you would find inside of an apple pie. GF also ordered a vanilla iced coffee that she was kind enough to share with me and I wouldn't be able to distinguish it from flavored milk with a gun to my head. Also the staff were super nice.

They'll deliver your food to you and bus your table. Overall, service was nice if a little slow. They had to balance the drive-thru orders with the dine-in orders, which is understandable. I want to come back and try their other dishes, but do NOT recommend the gravy. I regret not getting the apple turnover because it surely would've been better than the biscuits and gravy I got. The biscuit was good and even the single biscuit was a sizeable portion, so at least their name can rest easy. However, the gravy was abysmally flavorless. There was 0 meat flavor, not even from the sausage, and no savory goodness at all. I'm convinced I was just eating flavorless paste. The lighting hit my photo just right and made the biscuit and gravy look delicious, but don't be fooled.

Reserve well in advance during football weekends or special events, such as graduation week. We enjoyed the Tuscan Tortellini ($23): shrimp and chicken sautéed in garlic with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, herb sauce, cheese tortellini with basil and parmesan. Two of us split the tasty three-lamb-chop special for $36. Several nearby booths were enjoying the Southern Ribs ($23 ): seven slow-cooked, then crispy-fried pork ribs in a BBQ sauce, served with pimento mac-n-cheese, cornbread, and vegetable du jour. In addition to the dinner entrées ($20-$32) and specials ($40), Lefty's has dinner sandwiches under $14 and dinner burgers under $15. Plus flatbread pizzas, $14. Wines by the glass from $8 to $10.50. 24 beers on tap. Cocktails are $9 to $11. Service is fast, efficient, and mostly friendly (ours got a little snippy when we asked about a cocktail order that was slow to arrive, but it was a busy graduation night). Dependable on all counts; we'll be back.

    Came here for a work dinner, and was pleasantly surprised at the good quality of the food here!…read more I had the emerald kale salad and it was very good. This is a nicer spot rather than a bar (I wasn't expecting that), and has many solid dinner entrees options, it seemed. It was pretty mild volume levels inside, so we didn't have to yell at each other during dinner. A few of the group didn't love their entrees (the fish tacos lacked flavor and the carne asada pasta had some unexpected pairings), but overall a solid choice with something for everyone
