We had Sunday breakfast here. It's a warm inviting place. The service is excellent - coffee comes fast, first, and your order comes pretty quick too. The egg "scrambles" were excellent. Hubby loved his steak and grits. Close to Thomas, WV and Blackwater Falls. read more

Great breakfast served fast. Easy to overlook this place, but if you're hungry after skiing or hiking the Canaan Valley this is a good place to go for a breakfast that will stick to your ribs. read more

Best biscuits & gravy I've ever had...just the right amount of peppery and just the right amount of everything else. As perfect as it gets.

Amazing! It was like my grandma's cooking! Priced very reasonable. No one left hungry wish we had enough room to try the desserts.

Breakfast was bacon, eggs, county fried potatoes, wheat toast and iced tea. Tea served in "mason" jars as glasses. Bacon was extra crispy and was thick cut. Toast came as white and not wheat. No biggie. Asked for crispy potatoes but they came regular. It was decent food at decent price. Won't make a special trip but if you're hungry and want something simple it will suffice. read more

We love the homemade vegetable soup and grilled cheese. It's the best we ever had.

Nothing fancy but the service was great. The food tasted good, was plentiful and reasonably priced. I had the biscuit breakfast bowl and was not disappointed. End up having to bring half home for tomorrow's breakfast. My husband had SOS with eggs. His eggs were a little over cooked but he enjoyed his meal anyway. read more

Was there for breakfast 4/29 and tried everything between the wife and I. Excellent food as ordered. We had scrambled and over easy eggs, crispy bacon, pancakes, SOS- chipped beef in gravy over toast! Sausage gravy over biscuits. Service and food excellent. We will be picking up two homemade pies for the trip home Sunday. read more

My husband and I just returned from a long weekend trip to Blackwater Falls. I wasn't too sure about this place initially since there weren't a lot of reviews, but we love trying out new places for breakfast and figured we'd give it a shot. We both really liked this place. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food came out quickly and it was quite delicious. It was also a good value- pancakes, bacon, eggs, and toast for $7. It has a nice "mountainy" feel to it and we'll definitely be stopping back during our next trip. read more

The best breakfast egg sandwich I have EVER had! Very laid back and welcoming atmosphere, and it seems like everyone knows everyone.

Great homemade bread, soup, turkey, gravy, and other country cooking. Very inexpensive.

Excellent Service. Our waitress was very attentive and made us feel welcomed and valued. Food was good and prices reasonable. I would absolutely return if we are visiting that area again Sweet tea was really good- not too sweet. Just refreshing read more

This inconspicuous place, located in the 2nd floor of a motel, was where I stopped for dinner after a long day of hiking in neighboring states. I ordered the West Virginia Ham Dinner - my plate was groaning with two large ham slices, home fries, baked beans, a piece of cornbread and slices of tomato and onion, all for a VERY reasonable price! I couldn't even eat it all. I LOVE THIS CAFE! I had no hesitation stopping there the next morning for breakfast. read more

This restaurant is in the Alpine Lodge in Davis, WV. We ate breakfast here on a Sunday morning around 9am. It was not crowded. Everything was your normal country cooking style food. I was not overly impressed. Our waitress was very nice and said she had been there for 20 years. I was surprised to not find another review on Yelp for a place that has been around for so long. read more

We haven't even gotten to our entree and I'm already compelled to write a review. First... the sweet tea is perfect. And I mean 100% perfect. The starter sampler was as delicious as the sweet lady serving us. We both ordered the steak with baked potato and they were cooked to perfection. Be sure to ask for the fluffy delicious rolls. Incredible! read more

Food was well proportional for the money. Service was a little slow but only due to 1 waitress running the whole place. Would definitely recommend stopping by read more

Best food in Canaan Valley. Portion, price and people can't be beat at this place. We went there twice while visiting.

Located in a run down hotel with 70's carpet and sticky tables. No greeting at the door but a sneer from a waitress in the back. Feel free to sear yourself and be ignored. The waitress did come. No eye contact. Grunted instead of using words. Then wouldn't u know it the cook missed our order and the food took forever to arrive. When it did, however. It Was good. Produce fresh, bread crispy. read more

Stopped in for lunch (very hungry) after a great day enjoying hiking Black Water Falls State Park. Couldn't believe they had French Onion soup on the menu and with the drizzly weather it was a no brainer. Tasted amazing. Also ordered the brisket sandwich which was outstanding. The service was super too considering we had a sub par service experience at another local place the night before. Going back again for dinner tonight! read more

The food was delicious but that was it. We waited 30 minutes to be waited on and another 45 minutes for breakfast food. No toilet paper in either restroom. No soap either. Would not recommend to anyone passing through. read more

My fiance and I just finished dinner here. We were excited to try this restaurant based on other reviews we saw. The Sawmill was rated among the top restaurants in Davis, and since we are just passing through, and are not familiar with the area, we relied heavily on reviews to pick where we ate, etc. The restaurant itself looks a bit like a hunting log cabin on the inside, authentic wood paneling, a few taxidermy animals, and even giant old saw decorating the walls. It's not fancy, but it was warm and comfy feeling. Our server Darlene (if I'm remembering correctly) was great, keeping our drinks filled and checking in often (but not too often) and sweet as pie. Onto the food. My fiance had the chicken parmesan and added the unlimited salad bar. The salad bar variety was limited, but he seemed to really enjoy it - going back for not only seconds, but thirds and fourths. And he gave his dish a 10 out of 10. I ordered the country fried steak, which I cannot say enough good things about. Literally, one of the best things I've tasted in a long time! I asked for the gravy on the side, and it was perfect! The cornbread, sadly, wasn't quite as perfect. It was decent, but a little bland in taste and a little more dense than I'm used to. In addition, the side of green beans I ordered were definitely from a can. We left completely stuffed, and happy! The dishes were very hearty portions. In fact, my fiance, who is pretty much a bottomless pit, took home half of his dish - though, I suppose all those helpings from the salad bar contributed to that. All in all, we were very satisfied with our overall experience at The Sawmill Restaurant, and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet and casual but delicious meal. read more

The restaurant served traditional American fare, similar to home cooking. They had very soft white bread to fill up on while waiting for food. Portions were huge and tasted good. Priced right too. Not fancy but definitely filling read more

Looking for a place to eat breakfast and ran into this place. At first it looked a little scary. But after we went we fell in love. The history and story of the place was very interesting. I ordered the gravy bowl and it was very good. The staff was very nice and it was just a great place to go. read more

Absolutely awful service. Can't even comment on the food because the waitresses couldn't stop arguing over who was going to take our table to take our order. We waited 20 minutes and finally left. read more

Came in with a party of 10 and were treated to the best service of our lives. Food was fast, hot, and delicious. Our waitress was a gem and I would go back here every day if we lived in the area. All the stars! read more

I've been here thrice. For breakfast all times. The food was average. The service was way, way below average. This is some of the worst service I've ever had. It's just really bad. The third time we never got served at all. We just got up and left after about 15 minutes. One time they did serve us the food it was ok, but the eggs were solid cooked "sunny side up" -- no yolk. The next time the food was great, service stilled lacked, no real complaints besides the staff giving off a feeling they were overwhelmed when there's only 15 tables in the whole place -- tops. The service sucks, I won't eat here, maybe they'd be nicer if I was a biker? read more

Apparently I should have gotten a hamburger. I wanted to try a different place while out in our travels, I enjoy trying mom and pop places. This place was horrible. They were out of everything we wanted as a first choice. After ordering our 2nd choice for drinks and food we were disappointed. There was no flavor to the brown beans or the mashed potatoes. I had to get mashed potatoes because several minutes after placing our order I was told they are out of home fries. I was supposed to get cornbread with the meal. That never came even after I asked the waitress for it three times. My boyfriend was told there was no Pepsi unless he wanted it in a bottle. So he ordered sweet tea, our waitress asked if we wanted refills and said Sweet Tea sir? She came back with soda in his glass that tasted strangely like Pepsi. From now on I will stick with going to Big John's when in this area. read more

Pulled in before 1 on a Sunday ride. Shared a table with a nice old couple from PA. Took an hour after we ordered burgers to go only to get burnt food. Even the old couple were dismayed at how long we waited. read more

Good place to eat and visit .the day shift waitress .the tall blonde is as professional as it gets she is so kind too

I really don't want to write a bad review about this place. There is just something old fashioned and charming here. But, I have to say, the food is just average and sometimes a little bit better than average. The prices are low, the service is OK. My hamburger was way overcooked, and so was my omelet. In the past the "salad" bar is far from inviting. I will probably go back again, probably because there are not a lot of choices in the town and I think that by picking carefully and maybe getting the cook on the right day, you can do alright. Don't mistake this for a glowing review, I will continue to look for a "family restaurant" around here. read more

We had breakfast. We had the exact same thing at Bob Evans/Martinsburg the day before and this was 100 times better.

This was very good food at a great price. Simple, nothing fancy, but delicious and lots of it. Then we had rhubarb pie for dessert. It was out of this world wonderful! read more

The Sawmill has had some ups and downs but lately they have the ups going strong. They serve delicious food and have a nice salad bar in the evenings. Their two Sunday specials are pretty good as well, nice meal after church. read more

The service is very good. The dishes are ready immediately after your order. Highly recommended!

Took forever to get a waitress to take our order, dirty table, dead bugs in the window by the table, pancakes were burnt, bacon not good, took a while for waitress to give us our straws, napkins, and finally check. Next morning had breakfast at the Blackwater Lodge. For the same price it took us to eat at Sawmill, we paid the same for the breakfast buffet at the lodge, got way more food, long nice bacon strips, pancakes not burnt, all you can drink milk, etc. Wish we had ate at the lodge both mornings, but next time I know better! read more

Sawmill Restaurant great little place. Family friendly, where many locals meet and eat. Staff friendly, prices great and food very good. Biscuits for breakfast light and fluffy. Coffee pot is on by 6am...Not a lot of places around here to stop but this is a good one. read more

My wife and I ate at The Sawmill for breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious. The service was very friendly and great. The prices were very reasonable. When we are back in the Davis area we will definitely eat there again! read more
