Restaurants in Charleston

“I love this location it’s always fresh for the most part and even in a rush they work together in sync.
For the most part good people and staff
I love it”

“We came across Best of Crete Deli while traveling for Thanksgiving. A search for restaurants in Charleston WV came back with this as an option. We were SO glad we found them! The food was superb and the folks running the place were so nice ... one of us has a lot of dietary restrictions and they were incredibly accommodating.

If you plan to eat in, be aware there are only 3 or 4 tables.”

“Always an 5 star experience!”

“I tried the "White Christmas" drink tonight, and it was easily one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time! The staff was incredibly friendly, too. I always enjoy stopping by this place when I'm in Charleston.”

“Chicken Pad Thai is second to none !!!”

“My husband and I had Karubees for dinner. He had curry chicken and I had jerk chicken. The sides were cabbage, mac and cheese, and rice. Chicken so tender it fell off the bone and so very tasty. As you can see in the picture, I couldn't wait for my husband to shoot the pic before I had a bite. I love that her husband picks up all ingredients instead of having them shipped so they are always fresh. I highly recommend you give it a try if you like Jamaican food.”

“On our way Home to Michigan. Spending the night in Charleston WV stopped at Bowlesboys up the creek. Bar none the best BBQ Brisket and Ribs we have ever had, the sides were delicious, portions were big, prices reasonable. What a find can't say enough good things about them.”

“The food is delicious and presentation enticing, professional and lovely. The staff are very friendly, professional and engaging with the patrons. The menu isn’t large but there is something that will delight anyone’s tastes. The atmosphere is soft and inviting. It’s a hidden gem. One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston.”

“I stopped in with my father who visits this restaurant every time he passes through and they are open. They know his face and his usual order. It impressed me right from the start. The crew is great and the food is delicious phenomenal. I highly recommend their Meatball sub as I have never had better. The affordability is amazing. I cannot wait for a chance to go back and get more food. This restaurant is a MUST!”

“The staff were so warm and friendly especially with our four year old daughter and the gelato was divine!”

“Absolutely the BEST restaurant in Charleston. Top notch service. The food is ALWAYS cooked to perfection. Elegant atmosphere.”

“Every time I go to Super Weenie, I am met with smiling faces and a welcoming atmosphere. Their hot dogs are amazing and there are so many delicious options to choose from.”

“Great food at an affordable price. Love the staff!”

“The BEST Hot and Spicy Bean Curd!!! Crispy, flavorful, Spicy and deliciousness!!!????????”

“The chicken gouda pizza was amazing! Friendly, staff. Thank you.”

“Amazing food, fantastic service and phenomenal drinks (Bear is the best bartender you’ll find). The owner is a fantastic guy as well. Do yourself a favor and grab West Virginia roll or try the mountain momma. One of the best in the area for sure!”

“Good food great service and nice atmosphere”

“I want to give a shout out to Reb Lobster in Charleston.The food was so good but honestly the best part was the waitor Skyler(hope I spelled that right)This waitor was honestly the best I've ever had any where! Asked for our names and always called us by them while serving us.We never ran out of bisquits,drinks,etc and it was so nice having a waitor that interacted with the customers on this level!”

“Called the restaurant many times Monday 11/4 to order food. Could not get to a live person answering call. Can only get the meal on phone, listed unavailable online. Sad can’t get answer to order food”

“Had a dinner there last night and was taken well care of! The server was excellent! The cook(s) did an excellent job! I appreciate the addition of mash potatoes back on the menu. Thank you for the serving of garlic butter as well! Loved my experience and will be back! Would recommend!

Had the salmon with mash potatoes and fried mozzarella! Salad of course! I totally enjoyed my dinner experience!! Much love to the staff and God Bless!”

“We absolutely loved our experience here today for our anniversary. The service was friendly and the food was amazing. Definitely would recommend it to anyone wanting to celebrate or experience something different!”

“I love it here people are always so nice to me and my brother we always come here every week or something like that I really love it next time I come there I heard they have a cucumber jalapeno margarita that I want to try ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Great food & great staff makes for a terrific atmosphere.”

“Excellent, catering and delicious food went beyond my expectations! They were able to provide my family with service when my family was in need for last-minute catering services! Would recommend 100%! The chicken salad sliders were out of this world!”

“Everything was wonderful. Will definitely go back”

“Great little place to eat. Have been there and dined in twice now. Very friendly, great food, clean establishment, great service, great prices!!”

“Look forward to your Wednesday & Thursday specials every Week. Especially Thursday. Always greeted professionally, service is extremely professional and enjoyable, and the dinner specials are a very good value as well as delicious. Hats off to the entire staff at the French Quarter as it is very noticeable that everyone does their best to make my dining experience top knoch. It is appreciated.”

“This is the place to be as a football fan. Brand new tech they have allows you to listen to the game you want through your phone. Be considerate and bring headphones haha”

“I have been very close friends with many Avengers throughout many cities here in WV and other states for over 35 years... I have been to several of their clubhouses in WV, OH, IL, IN and MI and have always been very welcomed and had a great time... I will be going back to the clubhouse in Mt Hope, WV October 16th for their annual Bridgeday Party and the clubhouse in Charleston, WV October 30th for their annual Halloween Party... I know they will be a great time and they are welcoming everyone to attend...”

“aweful. disgusting. this McDonald's is filthy. customer service was horrible. and no sweet tea. wtf. my biscuit was hard and greasy and black”

“9 out of 10. The food was fantastic no missed spots. The service was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. The prices were pretty great to be honest. I was expecting it to be more expensive than it was. I think for me my only issue would be that it’s a slightly cramped space and it’s kind of a little too fast paced for my preference.”

“My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Mark and Brenda Sunday of Labor Day weekend. I couldn't be more impressed with their down to earth and willing to engage with customers like they've known them for years. Especially loved Mark's stories our conversation and him showing us the process in the back. I would highly recommend visiting them not to mention there products being authentic is a huge plus. If Mark or Brenda reads this just know Mark and Sherri from the Toledo area really enjoyed our time at your establishment. In fact..... outside of your beautiful countryside it was easily the best social experience we had on our trip. Hope to make it back someday. Godspeed to you both!”

“Definitely recommend—Fife Street offers a warm, inviting, and friendly atmosphere nestled in the heart of Charleston, WV. You’re greeted with excellent live music upon entering, along with a fantastic food and drink selection to match whatever vibe you’re feeling. Management and staff are top tier. Not to mention, they offer excellent alcohol-free options as well. I’ll be back—this is truly a gem in the Charleston, WV area.”

“One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. Best smash burger around! Super sweet staff! Definitely recommend.”

“the atmosphere is so nice, very great service...and the frappe's are phenomenal!”

“This is the best of the rest! So many good things here, but the hot dogs, of course, are my favorite!”

“This is my favorite place! Whenever I find myself alone in town, I can go in here, sit at the bar, and enjoy a delicious lunch or brunch (except on Sunday, when they are closed 🙁). It is so comfortable and inviting. I adore everything I have eaten here! The staff are also very accommodating to my special requests. Delicioso! I highly recommend the choripollo, quesachile, and the Lupita bowls.”

“Their food is well curated, gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat! Their offerings are also so healthy and nutritious too! I love their food. Pleasant, responsive staff. If you haven’t tried them, please do! I think you’ll love it like I do!”

“We have traveled across the country and Charleston Bread makes the best baguettes and sourdough!”

“The Hale house is a definite must go. The food is amazing. I had the two pork chops that were done to perfection. The Caesar salad was excellent. The place is packed for a good reason. The food and alcohol selection is outstanding. The staff does an incredible job.”

“Our food is always hot, fresh, and fast. We ordered yesterday and had it in about 10 minutes, if that. I see negative reviews about the company but I’ve never had a bad experience here, even when we have a large party to seat and serve. Excellent service, the whole way through.”

“I took my family here today. (scott depot) the pizza was great, the employees are very sweet. special thanks to Kim. we will definitely be back. 100% reccomend them at this location.”

“Over the past few years, East End Pub has become a regular destination that my group has included in our roster of go-to lunch spots. EEP makes an incredibly good Chicken Bacon Swiss sandwich that, IMHO, cannot be beaten. I have taken over a dozen friends and family members with me to lunch and every one of them have become regular customers of EEP. Their egg rolls are delicious and always in demand, and I have yet to encounter a menu item that disappointed. It is a small space with limited parking in its front lot, but there is ample parking along Washington Street or on East Avenue. Susan, who tends the bar, and Kendall who waits tables are always a pleasure to see and they take good care of their customers. As word has spread through town, EEP has gotten more popular and crowded, but that’s what good food will do. We have taken to arriving early to beat the lunch rush. My group of friends have ordered everything from EEP’s burgers, to hot dogs, to East End Egg Rolls to half a garden salad with a (seasoned or not) chicken breast on top, to the Rueben and to my favorite, the chicken bacon Swiss sandwich, to the breakfast platter and everything in between, and all the food has been delicious! They definitely have some of the best French fries in town! While it’s a small establishment, it’s a great size for a local neighborhood pub and a great place for lunch or dinner, or just a few drinks at the bar. They have specials for lunch that regularly change and are written on a chalkboard on the wall as you go through the front door. You seat yourself upon entering; one does not need to wait to be seated. It also has a great location at the corner of Washington Street and East Avenue which is at the foot of north side of the 35th and 36th Street bridges to Kanawha City. Overall I’d rate East End Pub at 9 stars out of 10 due to its excellent food, great service and pleasant atmosphere - and those awesome French fries!! If you want a casual tasty meal, some drinks or beers, or all of the above, East End Pub is an excellent option!”

“Great food, great service, great team—especially proud and grateful for my nephew, Zach Kihm. Ask for him by name. He’ll treat you right!”

“We need the other french fries back please!!!”

“I've been there several times some of the best hot dogs i've ever had.”

“When they told me they had separate fryer that was dedicated to gluten-free, I was sold. And the food and service was amazing! I have celiac disease, and for the last 25 years going out to eat has always been so hard (with risk of getting sick). It’s still often that I get confused looks when I mention “gluten”, other places…but to have a dedicated fryer or cooking area that never happens! That made my night.. super delicious! Cannot wait to go back!! 🙏🥳”

“Great service!!! Great personnel.”

“This place had absolutely amazing cheeseburgers, staff and a welcoming atmosphere! We stopped here for a quick bite before taking our 12 year old son to a Jelly Roll concert and will definitely be back when we are back in the area. The owner and other staff members were extremely hospitable. The pumpkin Cheesecake for dessert was scrumptious as well. Thank you to all the staff for making out of towners feel like home.”

“No complaints ever! Always 10/10!!!”

“Caramel pretzel,Dutch chocolate And The Keylime ARE wonderful! Thank you so much! Best in town The owners are wonderful people I would highly recommend this place”

“Finally tried Lola’s for the first time yesterday. I’ve definitely been missing out on some amazing pizza! Fast, quick, friendly service! Oh yeah and the pizza is bangin too! Will be back!”

“Had lunch today for takeout. The enchilada soup was delicious and spicy. The Turkey Pesto wrap was delicious and a good size. Will definitely be returning!!”

“Looking for a place that captures the heart and soul of Charleston, WV—look no further than Rock City Cake Company. The vibe is unmatched—cool, creative, and welcoming to everyone who steps inside. The food? Absolutely fabulous. Morgan is a standout—not only a rockstar business owner and creative force, but a true asset to Charleston. Her commitment to building community, supporting the arts, and keeping downtown vibrant is something our city is lucky to have. Rock City Cake Company isn’t just a bakery or a venue—it’s a whole vibe!”

“I just tried The Juice Box, and I’m hooked. I got a Green Machine smoothy and it was wonderful! The lady behind the counter was super nice and answered any and all questions I had with a smile. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Delicious food and margaritas! Attentive wait staff. Nice atmosphere.”

“Good ice cream and friendly people”

“Great place to go. very nice people.”

“They were already my favorite Mexican place but I tried the birria tacos and they were great. I like that I can get shredded beef in some different items. The service is also very good.”

“I realized I posted a review on google but not here! The transition from Vino’s to the Blvd Grill is honestly what downtown Charleston has needed for so many years. All of the staff are amazing but I do have to say since Billie has been there it is seriously THE PLACE to be downtown. You wanna eat? They got you. Wanna play pool? They have 2 diamond tables. Wanna play darts? They have FOUR boards. Not interested in playing anything? The whole bar area is open to just hang, whether it be at the bar, the several high top tables, or the few booths they have away from to games. Listen, I might be biased, but as a frequent flyer of downtown for many, many years, I assure you this is the atmosphere Charleston has needed. And something I didn’t mention in my google review is that they also have an upstairs area that can be rented out for private events!”

“Excellent food! We're in from Spencer, but I will be back! The Stallion was amazing!! My daughter had meatball sub (also good!) and I'm taking a turkey and cheese home for my mother....”

“The cream puffs and eclairs are to die for! Best I've ever had!!”

“Food was excellent.Also I had an excellent server.Her name was Emily,need more servers like her.”

“Friendly staff. Delicious pizza.
Run down pizza parlor. Basically no decent seating. Needs some fresh organization. It has alot of potential to be quaint little Italian Cafe. New seating, paint, lots of elbow grease. Wow that would triple their business.”

“Everyone is laid back and friendly.”

“Had an awesome time with both bartenders on 4/12/25!”

“Very good!”

“I ordered the beef tips and noodles. Blew me away. Had never been there, but had a friend who talked about it all the time. They lived up the hill from the restaurant and she ordered weekly. I was in the area and saw it and decided to stop in. I will be back You must go. Best home cooked food around. Plus you’re helping small local businesses Yum!!!! Well, I’m getting ready to hit send and I see Upload image…. All I can take picture of is my belly. Too late. Will do next time”

“I had the pleasure of having the Shrimp Dinner,Corn Dog and Caramel Malt and of course as usual fries are so good as well”

If I ever travel that way again I will defiantly be stopping at that McDonald's, Thank you for making a bad situation good.”

“We spent the night in Charleston during a road trip and Google search led us to Adelphia. Great service, great food, and the hostess Jerryanne was kind enough to have our game put on the big screen. She also stopped by our table a couple of times to check on us and give us tips on other local places to visit. I hope Adelphia appreciates this true gem of an employee!
Our server was wonderful as well, but unfortunately I didn't get her name. We'd absolutely visit again!”

“Really enjoyed this friendly restaurant.”
