If you ever find yourself drifting through Beckley and your stomach starts whispering sweet…read morenothings... make a hard left into Cheddars Gastro Pub. This place is a bit of a delightful plot twist. From the outside, you might expect the usual--but step inside and suddenly you're in a cozy little universe where the cocktails are dangerously good (and somehow still kind to your wallet), the bar feels like home base, and the food? Way more scratch-made magic than you'd ever guess. And let's talk about Amy. If hospitality were an Olympic sport, she'd have a gold medal and a signature cocktail named after her. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it--just pure, effortless excellence. Whether you're a road warrior passing through or a local in need of a reliable good time, Cheddars delivers that rare combo: great vibe, great food, zero regrets. Go hungry. Leave happy. Possibly stay for one more round than you planned.

My husband ordered the Monte Cristo because he was craving sweet and savory and of course I sampled some for myself. The jam was fantastic! I had the Dijon chicken with broccoli cheese casserole and it was like eating at my grandma's house. Everything was delish and the prices here are so good. I also love that they give you a buttery croissant instead of a dry roll or biscuit. It elevates the meal while still keeping that homemade vibe.

The craft area of handcrafted merchandise has become not as sophisticated and high end workmanship. I noticed that change the last time I stopped through so that was disappointing. I used to often browse for gifts but that time nothing much to see. But on to my main thing -- the food. I'm actually heartbroken that now it's not in any way what it was. I learned that a few years back The Greenbrier Hotel stopped operating the dining room. And it shows -- they have remodeled and added tables. You no longer go through the cafeteria w the chance to see the grill and the food. And the food is pretty low to average score. The fried green tomatoes used to be pan cook w cornmeal and now battered and deep fried -- terrible the vegetable plate used to be amazing but barely edible. The cornbread used to be a large tender square delish but now a couple of tasteless muffins. My plate was served quickly and the food was barely warm. My friend's meal was very average, the salmon. The other was the soup and a side vegetable. Again average. I'm not sure why they lost The Greenbrier but it's not worth the cost. Still a nice place to walk around and stretch your legs but the food isn't worth the price and the crafts not at a high level. So a very disappointing meal. So you've been forewarned. All good things must come to an end.

There is also a salad bar, which is fun in a kitschy sort of way. The prices are surprising low. We started with jalapeño cheese fries. Fries, cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and solid ranch dressing- I mean what else does a fellow need? I had the highly stacked club sandwich. My tablemates had steaks- the sirloin and the ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly. My friends paired their steaks with the twice baked potatoes. My extra indulgent wife added the mac and cheese. The three of us shared the bread pudding. Everything we had was enjoyable. When it comes to comfort food, this place really hits the mark. The server was attentive, friendly , and well versed regarding the menu. We'll definitely go back, I'm looking forward to dinner on their patio.

Luckily I had eaten enough for bariatric me. She offered to bring me a new plate, but I just asked for coffee. When I went to pay, I had a moment of panic thinking they only accept cash (I had just enough). Welp, the ATM network was down.

Omelet That Slide…read more Founded in 1948 by the eponymous Bob Evans in Gallipolis, OH. While no longer run by the Evans family, Bob Evans restaurants are now numbered somewhere around 450 restaurants nationwide (mostly in the Midwestern/Southern regions of the USA, altho they do have locations in PA, NY, & NJ). This location is not too far from Hwy 19 here in WV and would make a good stop for road trippers and commuters alike. The Good: *Friendly and prompt service *Coffee was classic diner fare *Prices are ridiculously cheap for large portions (please note I'm from CA, so take that with as grain of salt) *Large and plentiful parking lot *Biscuits were bomb AF *Chicken Fried Steak was not spectacular, but it got the job done. The eggs were cooked well; the steak was nice and crispy; and the hash browns were the classic representation. The Meh: . *Décor is on the non-offensive kinda boring classic diner motif. *While the food was all very good, nothing was spectacular and worthy of an immediate return trip. The Ugly: *Whatever you do, don't look at the calories for the food here. 0_o TLDR: Solid American fare that's a good solid stop when available, and also easy on the wallet, too.

Service up front at the hostess was efficient and seated immediately with menus. Our waitress came by for drink orders which both got waters. After ordering a few minutes later still no water. The waitress was very pleasant and smiled which I loved the attitude, I could see our waitress took orders, bussed tables and later found out prepped salads. So no surprise the waters took around ten minutes. We thought bread would hit the table before, but we did not ask. My salad came out quickly and was very good. Our food came out after around 30 minutes. My wife's grilled chicken strips and mashed potatoes looked great and she confirmed it was. My Smokehouse grilled chicken however was awful and obviously not prepared correctly. The tomatoes side also awful. The okra was not something I even ordered or liked. The waitress could not be found for around ten minutes, then she did a table check. She then acknowledged it was not prepared correctly. I told her I needed to leave and she asked for a minute to talk to the manager and took the plate. Once she returned there was an apology and gift card for another visit. The manager also comped the meal. I felt it was handled properly, but left hungry. I'm at a 2.5 and rounding up with one meal correct and good. Also although the service was slow they were woefully understaffed.

Turns out: wonderfully right. This diner is pure road-trip gold, the kind of place where time slows down just enough for the coffee to taste better. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting locals with hugs, warm questions about their families, and the kind of genuine familiarity that makes you wonder if you've accidentally walked into a reunion. And somehow, they made us feel like we were long-lost regulars too. It was all very wholesome and slightly magical. The food was simple, satisfying, exactly what breakfast should be when you're about to climb, wander, and sweat your way through a national park. So good, in fact, that we came back every single morning. Because why mess with perfection? A true little gem, comforting, unpretentious, and warm in all the right ways.

Meanwhile, the Queens in the back -- Stella and Sarah -- worked their magic and made me something special tonight aptly named "The Queen": the Bistro's take on a classic French dip And for context... I've eaten more French dips than I can count, including the Real Deal from Philippe The Original in LA. This one? Really good. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully dressed with veggies, fantastic local bread, and as always... THOSE CHIPS. Add a side of the onion dip and honestly -- my God so good. Thank you again, Black Circle Bistro, for another unforgettable trip through the menu. Many more to come. (And yes, I didn't take photos -- I know, I'm the worst. They absolutely deserved them )
