Our Corvette Club visited Paint Bank Swinging Bridge recently. The staff was excellent and the food was outstanding. They did an amazing job of accommodating 25+ people. Everyone enjoyed shopping in the General Store. Some of the members had never visited Paint Bank and I am sure they will want to return.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. It's under new management and the management is horrible and rude!! We wanted to sit at a corner table but instead he made us sit at a table for 2 that was barely big enough to put our food on. when the waitress come to take our order she told us we could move. So we did, but then he came back over and made us get up and go back to the table for 2. And then he sit another couple at a table for 6( made NO sense at all)
Long story short the waitress was awesome her name was Kacy.. the food was smaller portions than prior visit under old management.. the menu price did not match the receipt and the new management is disrespectful and rude! Do yourself a favor don't stop here! Needless to say we will never be back! Overpriced and rude management!

We made Father’s Day plans and our two parties each drove from about an hour and 30 minutes in each direction to meet here for dinner.
Our server, who was the only genuine highlight of the entire meal, greeted us and immediately told us that about 50% of the menu wasn’t available.
We came for the unique food that they have here and were told that over half the sandwiches were not available as well as the buffalo chili, the buffalo chopped steak, and multiple other dinner entrees. Thankfully if we wanted to pay $45 for the special buffalo New York strip, that was an option.
Everything that we were served registered as low end diner food with no heart, no salt, and no effort put into it. The meatloaf was clearly days old and reheated, as it was as dry as possible, and essentially the texture of a hockey puck. The fries were completely devoid of salt, the buffalo pulled barbecue tasted like the cheapest frozen barbecue option available at Walmart.
Genuinely shocking level of disappointment for a place that has been recognized for so long as a unique and interesting place to eat. We were informed that new management has decided to alter the menu, make certain things not available on certain days, and operate a “winter menu” during the month of June. If you’re going to make changes like this, they should be public and known because your restaurant is an hour from anything and people are driving to the destination, and you are not delivering on the promises of your menu and your website.
Also, I am someone who will gladly spend money on food, but the prices compared to the quality of what we were served is laughable and unacceptable.
$17 for a kids cheeseburger and fries and drink is absolutely insane.

Happened upon this place on a motorcycle ride. What an awesome oasis in the middle of nowhere WV. Really cool old general store with modern family style restaurant. Glad we found it.

My husband and I go here on our anniversary every year and sometimes in between. We loved the fried chicken on Sunday so we went today and got there around noon. It wasn’t packed like before so we didn’t have to wait. Ordered the chicken and ended up with 2 chicken legs that I’m pretty sure was not freshly fried and 2 chicken tenders ( I have tenders at home didn’t need them there) I ordered Mac and cheese and they were out the mashed potatoes were more lumpy then usual thank goodness I had gravy on them. So dissatisfied and will pick another place to go until it gets back to the way it was. They only had chicken legs if you’re wondering if that’s what I ordered. The best part was our waitress and buffalo chips before our meal
Had the Bison burger and it was GREAT! Nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Highly recommend.

This place is a definite must go!!!! You need to also check out their glamping and hotel they have right across the street from the restaurant. Had the bison burger from here and I have never had a bad meal from this restaurant.
