Fresh made burger on the patty melt, fries dipped in the gravy were spectacular. Dinner was great! We then ordered dessert, I got a slice of lemon pie and my husband got the Ho-Ho cake. Not disappointed at all. Great service and great food.“

“When traveling I like to try local places when able. I’ve found myself in Wheeling to photograph the Cathedral. Anyway, I stopped in for dinner, was seated quickly and water received immediately. I kept it simple and just had the burger with fries. It was cooked perfectly and arrived pretty quickly. (This place is not a burger joint, the have options, such as lamb for example.) Chelsey was my server, she did great as well. Would definitely return if I found myself in Wheeling again!“

We had the blackberry cobbler. The crust was flaky, buttery, and delicious. I going back tomorrow for more.“

“Visited , Thursday 8/7/25. Never complain, but the 2 salads ordered were Oh so , disappointing. Salads were not presented as advertised, with missing ingredients , and quality of ingredients were lacking. Our server did ask if we needed more salad dressing for both salads. The portion size was smaller than we anticipated. Hopefully, just an off night !“

“This week I took my high school aged class to Oglebay Resort for a field trip. We took this same trip last year and had lunch at generations outside on the deck. This year when we returned all they asked for was dinner at generations. A quick search showed me that it was trivia night. There was NO WAY I was taking 20 teenage girls there during trivia!! 🤣🤣🤣 They were more than happy when I said we could order take out! I felt awful calling to order food for 22 people during trivia. I wish I could remember who I spoke with, she was sweet, happy, and pleasant! She didn’t seem phased or bothered by my huge order! When we completed to order she read everything back to me and it was perfect! She then replied with “give us 25 minutes and we will have everything ready” I couldn’t believe it!! 25 minutes for alllll that food!! I went to pick up our order and sure enough it was ready!! She helped me carry all the bags to my car, still smiling and sweet as ever! I thanked her and was on my way back to the resort! The kids all got their dinner from Generations and everything was perfect! Not one order had a mistake! Our food was amazing and perfect!! Thank you!! You all are amazing!! My class will hopefully see you again next year! I will see you again soon!! You are definitely one of our all time favorites!“

“I’ve ate here a lot of times. Today I got slim Jim and onion rings. The ham on my slim Jim was 2 slices of paper thin ham and the Swiss cheese the same. I know these are trying times, but come on.“

“Food was good, service was excellent. After church groups where there so a little noisy lol.“

“Great food, service and a cool atmosphere. I like how the bar area is separate from the dining area. The patio was nice too. With many TVs, it's a good place to watch sports. The menu had a plethora of choices from pizza, pub grub, seafood, many salad choices (I recommend the basil vinaigrette) and great steaks! Definitely my new go to spot when visiting Wheeling.“

“Our family's favorite restaurant! The best home cooked meals, I mean absolute best food either breakfast, lunch or dinner... Everything they make is delicious ?

Kid-friendliness: My kids Love the food, and this is wonderful family place to bring the hungry kiddos!“

“First time I went to pickles, I went specifically to get their fried pickles. This was about a year and a half ago and the coating was very thick and I was highly disappointed. I thought how can you have a bar with that name and not have outstanding pickles??? My girlfriend talked me into going again the other day and I thought okay. I'll give them another chance. Oh my gosh! Whoever made them did a perfect job. The coatiing was thin. The pickles were large Spears. It was awesome! Awesome! awesome! Did I mention it was awesome? Lol Can't wait to go back!“

“I love Eat'n Park, I just wish there were one closer to Columbus! I love their Breakfast bar! (Lunch and dinner bar is fresh and delicious too!) Wait staff is awesome, I have been twice and always had a great experience! Milk shakes are fantastic!“

“My only complaint would be the lobster might have been overcooked. The waiting staff was top notch. Server made sure I always had water and came back to us in a timely fashion to get our order. The food made me and my husband happy. I really wanted seafood and the potato lobster bake was delicious 🤤.“

“We are from out of town & saw the parking lot was busy but decided we’d try anyways! It was really really busy but Sara our waitress apologized - it looked like she was the only waitress. We assured her it’s ok & she was wonderful. It took a very long time to get our food but when Sara brought it - it was hot & delicious! We had no complaints at all! We also appreciated how nice Sara was in spite of her trying to service the entire place! She was wonderful“

“I woke up this morning knowing I wanted to write a review from our visit at Applebees last night. We had the most outstanding waitress and I feel like she needs shown some love on here! Her name is Monica. We called ahead because we were coming in with a party of 14. That’s overwhelming even for the most seasoned waitress. She handled us with such ease and grace. She was spot on with everything she did. From taking our orders straight up to having Togo boxes ready to roll with our checks. She had everything so well put together and in order. Our food was great, everyone who had adult beverages, loved them! Especially my husband who got the Shark Bowl! So- coming from one waitress to another- MAJOR KUDOS to Monica and all kitchen staff! We had a GREAT visit and everything was on point!!! THANK YOU!!!“

“Awesome food and staff! Never had a poor meal or experience.“

“We celebrated my 80th birthday on Saturday. The food was awesome, service even better. The accommodation were perfect. Thank you Jeremiah! We will be back..“

“This is the best Perkins around. The food is always exactly how you order it and so delicious. The service is perfect. Joyce is our favorite server, we absolutely love her! Highly recommend coming to this specific one, you won't regret it.“

“I took my family of four there after a friend recommended. Usually, when we go out to dinner at least one meal isn’t that good. I was amazed that everything was absolutely amazing. The steakhouse burger I ordered was hands down the best burger I’ve ever eaten. The poutine was great, the pretzel sticks with beer cheese was sublime. My wife and 17 year old daughter ordered chicken sandwiches and they raised the bar on chicken sandwiches. The salad was great. My younger daughter (picky eater) ordered a pizza from The 304 Wood Fired Pizza, it was the best pizza I’ve had in the Ohio Valley. In conclusion, this place is one of the best restaurants, if not the best restaurant in Wheeling. Definitely going to be a regular there. I’d have to give it a 15 out of 10 rating.“

“Very clean, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. Our waitress Katrina was an amazing worker, running the tables, helping at the bar, & cleaning tables. She was very sweet the entire time too! Great employee to have!“

“Sent my parents here for a special “date night” while they were in from out of town for a show at the Capitol. Made reservations in person and asked for it to be a special night. The restaurant and the waitress were AMAZING. They treated my parents like royalty and made their evening wonderful. Thank you and hats off to everyone at River City. ❤️❤️“

“The Barnesville Bowling team and their families (over 50 guests) enjoyed the all you can eat Italian Buffet! We would like to praise all of the servers, pasta cooks and staff as they made all of our athletes and their guests feel welcome! All of the employees took great pride in their work and it showed. Everyone enjoyed the selection of delicious items that were offered on the Italian buffet! Our team will be back! Thank you for the great experience!“

“Thoughtfully curated, LongHorn Steakhouse in St. Clairsville is the place to go if you are looking for a quality dinner out. From masterful grill work to attentive service to a welcoming atmosphere, this is Longhorn Steakhouse reinvented. Down to the last detail, this LongHorn location exceeds expectations and beats the competition in its class.

In addition to the food and atmosphere, the service was excellent as well. In 30 days of road tripping Taylor T was hands down the best server we experienced. Highly recommended.“

“2 of my friends and I (From Clevland Ohio) stopped here to eat after visiting the state penitentiary and was greeted with a great atmosphere. We all got the same item and we left with a full stomach and very satisfied. The burger alone was probably worth the drive to West Virginia.“

“Very good dinner meal. Terrific meat loaf, gravy, mashed potatoes and buttered spinach. Always enjoy Sonny Boy when back on the Valley. If there are new owners, they were friendly at the check out. Great service and food for a decent price. One of the few places Biden has not ruined.“

“Such a fabulous place to spend time with family and friends and to make new friends each time we go there. Food is perfect and Joey, Abbey, and all of the staff make you feel like they’ve known you their whole life. Such a perfect go to any day of the week I always highly recommend the Mediterranean salad. Just makes your mouth water!“

“I love this restaurant and come here often. Stopped in yesterday for my birthday and the waiter brought our drinks and then didn’t come back to our table for 25 mins. Tried to get his attention a couple times. When he finally did I asked for the check to pay for the drinks. As I was leaving (as he had no other tables) he was on his phone . So I guess that’s why we didn’t get waited on. Still a great place to eat with great food“

“We ate there tonight and the food was good. The over all thing for us though was the a service! My kids felt welcome and I felt welcome. It was by far the best service I've experienced. The waitress was so nice. She gave us time to eat and not over hover. She was there at the right times. I am just in wow over the kindness. We will be going back, because that is the kind of service that makes it become your go to place.“

“We came into Wheeling for the Symphony and this place was in 5 minutes walking distance, and I’m so glad we came! The service was great, and we loved the meatloaf platter- the bacon gravy was to die for! Also get the apple crumble for dessert- so good! Great Appalachian comfort food, and the waitresses were so kind. Will be back!“

“Awesome place good food and friendly people. We like supporting the small home made food places and this one was great. We were heading home to Texas and stopped in.“

“Such a romantic place!!!!“

“Another great experience! Love the food and atmosphere!“

“I absolutely love this fricking place!!! The best sandwiches in the valley and with people like Marla and Christy you can’t go wrong. I haven’t had anything bad here, food or service, the sandwiches taste better when I’m walking out with a smile.“
