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".

This little casino just off from Charleston, West Virginia? Best. Single. Casino. Experience. Of. My. Life. No, it isn't the biggest casino. No, it isn't the fanciest. The décor has an older, darker feel with warm tones, and some people might describe it as a little worn. I'd describe it as comfortable enough to accidentally spend your mortgage payment in. My buddy Brett and I sat down expecting to kill an hour before continuing our drive to Pittsburgh. Three hours later... ...we were still there laughing our heads off. The blackjack tables were outstanding. The players actually knew how to play, which meant no endless debates over whether to hit a 17 or split tens. The games moved at a great pace, everyone was having fun, and despite only walking away about $40 ahead, I honestly couldn't have cared less. In fact, I probably tipped away more than I won. Worth every dollar. Then there was Dakota. Dakota isn't just the best blackjack dealer I met on this trip... He's one of the most entertaining dealers I've ever played with. Somewhere between doubling down and busting the table, we learned he plays bass for the West Virginia metal band Dismember the Outcome. By then the table had become less of a blackjack game and more of a comedy club. We laughed so hard that I genuinely forgot I was gambling. That has never happened before. And then there was the pit boss. I think his name was Dave. Imagine a sharply dressed casino supervisor making sure every blackjack payout is correct...then casually jumping into a conversation about the Lamb of God concert he had attended. That's when I realized this place was different. Behind every suit was somebody you'd happily have a beer with. Speaking of beer... Whoever told me drinking is West Virginia's state sport may have been onto something. Because the real MVP of the afternoon was our cocktail waitress. At one point Brett and I had become just intoxicated enough to loudly yell across the casino for another well vodka shot and Diet Coke. Classy? Absolutely not. Professional? Definitely not. Her response? Without missing a beat she smiled across the casino floor and said, "I gotcha, hun." I swear she covered fifty yards faster than a wide receiver running a post route. By the time I blinked, the drinks were already sitting in front of us. There are Southern belles... ...and then there are Southern cathedral belles. She moved through that casino like the patron saint of thirsty blackjack players. If that's what being welcomed through the Pearly Gates feels like, sign me up. And if, through some clerical error upstairs, she's tending bar somewhere a little warmer... ...well, at least I know the cocktail service will be phenomenal. By the time we left, I'd probably spent almost $100 tipping dealers and cocktail staff, and I don't regret a penny of it. Casinos often try to impress you with marble floors, giant chandeliers, and flashy architecture. Mardi Gras Casino impressed me with something much rarer. People. Wonderful dealers. An unforgettable pit boss. Fantastic cocktail service. A table full of smart players. And enough laughter to carry us all the way to Pittsburgh. Five stars without hesitation. We'll be back. And when we do, somebody tell Dakota to shuffle up...we've got another three hours of stories to tell.

Maybe it's the absence of now former co-owner Dakota Maddox, but nothing seemed to work. When my wife and I arrived at noon to pickup our order, we were met by a medium sized group of fellow befuddled customers. Some had been there since 10am, when they were supposed to be picking up their holiday order. The story as it was told to me was the first set of customers arrived to a locked and dark restaurant. Upon being let in by a former employee, they found that no orders had been prepared, proteins weren't cooked, pies were not baked, and there was no master list of orders to be found. Despite all of this, even two hours in there was only one person trying to manage the operation and he didn't even work there. The owner had been "on his way" for the better part of an hour. After spending 1.5 hours trying to get a handle on the situation, our 'fella took everyone's phone number and said he would call when the orders were ready. So my wife and I left, presuming we'd be called back in an hour or so. When 3:30 came and went I tried to call their main number. It rang, went to voice mail, and then a recording told me the mailbox was full and promptly disconnected. At 5:30 my phone rang. It was the former employee - now identified as Luka - calling to say my order would be ready in 20 minutes. My wife and I headed back to town. When we arrived at 6:10 our order still wasn't ready. The owner, Chris, finally decided to make an appearance. He asked if we wanted a drink while we waited, then disappeared to the back again. At 6:30 (6.5 hours after the pickup time) we were finally given our food, minus several items that they either ran out of or didn't have at all. Luka said the owner would refund the items that were unavailable - a saintly gesture. Chris never reappeared, and didn't bother to offer an apology or an explanation. When we finally got the food home we found that the rolls were store bought King's Hawaiian with a small amount of garlic butter haphazardly smeared on top, bone dry turkey, lumpy mashed potatoes, and beef tenderloin that - even after cooked - smelled spoiled. I would say that these items were so sad they must have been seasoned by the tears of Chris' employees, but that would be wrong as tears contain some amount of salt. Standing in the chilly restaurant surrounded by burnt out lights, mostly empty liquor bottles, and a bathroom whose soap dispenser was nearly falling off the wall you get the sense that you're standing in a once great restaurant desperately passed its prime. It was the culinary equivalent of the most recent Mike Tyson bout.

The menu here runs deep on both burgers and beers, plenty of options if you want to build your own kind of monster, but I didn't need to look past that one. I stick to the patties and cheese myself, no bun, no fries, and even stripped down to just the meat, this burger was unbelievably flavorful and juicy. A full pound of beef done exactly right. The place has a casual sports-bar feel, easy to relax in, nothing fussy about it. Service was attentive and quick, no waiting around, no chasing anyone down for a refill. And for the size and quality of what showed up on the plate, the price felt like a genuine deal. I didn't walk away feeling like I overpaid for the portion. I didn't plan on writing a review when we sat down. That burger changed my mind. If I'm ever back through Barboursville, I'm going straight back to Oscar's, no hesitation.
