“I grew up in South Hills many years ago and we didn't have anything close to the quality of 1010 Bridge St back then. An amazing dining experience, every dish was expertly crafted down to the tiniest detail with the end result being a gastronomic bonanza!! Took my mother and my grandchildren for dinner - it was wonderful. Wish I could get back sooner!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“The lamb, prepared with impeccable skill and seasoned to perfection, is a true testament to the chef's culinary prowess. Each succulent bite is bursting with flavor, tender and juicy, leaving diners craving more with every mouthful. Accompanied by expertly paired sides and sauces, the lamb dinner at Noah's is a symphony of taste that delights the senses.Equally impressive is the flounder dinner, a seafood lover's dream come true. Fresh, delicate flounder fillets are expertly cooked to tender perfection, their natural sweetness shining through with every forkful. Complemented by a harmonious blend of complementary flavors and textures, this dish is a testament to Noah's commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients and treating them with the utmost respect.Of course, no visit to Noah's would be complete without a mention of the impeccable service. Behind the bar, Hutch reigns supreme, effortlessly crafting cocktails with precision and flair. His warm demeanor and expert knowledge elevate the dining experience, ensuring that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of.”
“My family & I Absolutely Love this place the food is always excellent and if you know me I’m not the one to just give rating from just a couple of visits My family and I have patronized this restaurant for years and the last is always as amazing as the first and on top of that it’s spotless which is definitely a plus You will not be disappointed”
“Never tried Jamaican Food before,,but now become my new favorite. When I get there,,they run out of everything except shrimp. So dissapointed with that, so I decided to eat whatever they have left. And my oh my,,my dissapointment changed right away. Rice and bean just perfect, shrimp was sweet and spicy in a good way, and collad green taste great. Will be back next time for sure”
“We have great Thai options in Northern VA, so I was skeptical, but after reading the reviews and some saying it's the best Thai they've ever had, I had to try it. I got the Su Ko thai noodle soup, and it was delicious. It tasted authentic to me, and if I was in Charleston longer, I would've tried their other dishes. Definitely a thai restaurant worth visiting...”

“What a delightfully delicious dining experience! Our food was terrific, especially the Angel Hair Crabcakes, and our cocktails were out of this world! Our server, Crystal, was the epitome of the best of the best! She made excellent food suggestions and never made us feel rushed. Kudos to Crystal! On our next visit to Charleston you can be sure we will once again dine at Hale House!”
“Took quite some time to get a table and none of the staff acknowledged our existence for about 30 minutes. But this place came highly recommended so we waited it out. Now I see why the food here was top notch and well worth the wait. The pricing was great too for how much and how great the food was. Would definitely recommend no matter the wait.”
“Loved the lumpia, but brussel sprouts lacked char and sauce. Chicken sandwich and salmon bowl were great, but the build-your-own burger was too salty. Ban mi sandwich was mediocre. Some won ton chips were greasy. Good service, clean restaurant, pleasing atmosphere.”

“Oh wow. The food was phenomenal. The service was impressive.Parking: Unfortunately, I did not notice the parking meter, so the parking ticket was well worth it.”
“If you like home cooking, this is the place for you! Please don't expect an elegant setting. You will get generous portions of whatever you order. The glass of sweet iced tea was large! Very friendly staff!Parking: Parking is at the rear of the building.”

“Delicious baked good With the ever expanding selection of yummy treats period today I got a Eclair which was so Fresh And a snickerdoodle cookie that was on the dry side. Other than that 5 stars all the way around.”

“It's not often you see a place rated a perfect 5 stars on Google. Believe the hype. Everything I had was the best id ever had. The spinach pie....omg the orzo salad.... perfect the MFin gyro literally gave me goosebumps. If you like Greek food you're an idiot if you miss this place.”

“From the first step in the door, I knew I was going to have a special experience. The service was friendly, informative and gracious. I love, owner, Mario’s style of espresso and the gelato is out of this world. I have tried and loved many of their flavors, but recently discovered Cafe Romeo’s toasted marshmallow. It tastes exactly like what the name suggests. What a treat. I have been and always will be a big fan of this place!”
“We love Rock City Bakery. We lived in Gettysburg and my husband always insists on making this part of our trip, dragging other family members and anyone else who’s never been yet. Its a unique experience. Its a little bit bakery, little bit music venue with pop culture memorabilia sprinkled on top.They have an insane variety and quantity of baked goods during events and holidays. We went after Valentines Day last week and they had a countertop of sale items. We got puff pastries, brownies, cake pops, cake push ups, long johns, fruit covered cheesecake and my favorite, the fruit pizza. They were stocking the cake display with custom made cakes for birthdays that were so cute! The staff there have always been friendly and fun to joke around with.They also have bands now and then as well as comfortable seating. Its a nice place to take a book or to catch up on remote work while having a snack. We’ve never ordered drinks while, but if they dont have coffee, Taylor Books down the street has some. The library is across the street. Everything you need to spend a relaxing morning or afternoon.Definitely a place we come back to over and over.Kid-friendliness: We always come with a full crew of littles. They are always friendly and talk to themWheelchair accessibility: I am disabled and bring my service dog in with me when we come. No stairs, comfortable chairs and couchwith coffee table.”
“Friendliest people you could ever meet! Cheeseburger was excellent. Philly Cheese steak was great too. However, those french fries have to be the best around! They had a nice crowd for the pool tournament. Recommend trying here.”
“Absolutely phenomenal pizza. They have a super great vibe inside and Hannah was our watress and recommended the peppadue and chicken Gouda pizza and she couldn’t have been more right. The crust was great, not chewy and there was zero grease from all the toppings. We picked this place randomly after a long drive home and we are so happy we stopped by! Hannah was super sweet and kind. She’s a gem ”
“It was our first time here. There are so many items on the menu, it took us a while to decide! They have unique dishes and the ingredients were all fresh. We were very impressed.”
“Awesome little dive rock bar with great, friendly and attentive service and cold drinks. I saw local band Hurl Brickbat who were outstanding and a lot of fun to watch. I really enjoyed myself. As is the case with many little dive bars, the craft beer selection is sparse, however all expected classic drink are available at an affordable price. I think I remember seeing food being available but I wasn't hungry so can't report on that.”
“This place is an amazing treasure with friendly workers. We arrived at the hotel across the street on a rainy night and didn't want to go far. The restaurant next to the hotel got mediocre reviews so we decided to try Barone Brothers which got excellent reviews. Wow. The Great reviews couldn't have prepared us for the amazing toasted Italian sub my husband ordered. The meats were hearty deli slices. The sandwich was cooked to perfection. I ordered a Greek salad. The salad was nice and cold. The mix of veggies was perfection. The dressing was good. Maybe more Italian inspired but it was a perfect compliment to the salad. We would stop off the interstate again specifically to go to this charming little place. It's not fancy. They appear to do mostly a takeout business, but they do have seating. We arrived close to closing time, and were not rushed or made to feel like an imposition at all. They treated us like we were right on time. So friendly..”
“This place is absolutely amazing and a must see if you're in town. I recommend the pepperoni balls but really everything looked amazing ... Try the sour or the stout if you dare ?”

“Clean, polite, good service, delicious food. Just a few words to describe my experience. The food was a little pricey but not much more than anywhere else. Their white sauce or dip was delicious. Service was great and fast. I will definitely go again. There was so much on the menu that it was hard to decide.Dietary restrictions: They list out ingredientsParking: Large free parking lot”
“What an excellent addition to the downtown restaurant selection!! It’s a quick and easy walk from the Summer St. Parking garage as well as most of the downtown activities!!We went several times after attending children’s story time activities at the library. The food was just as delicious as we expected from the name and we were delighted to see the same menu options. While they don’t offer much for toddlers, they did allow us to share without any issues and the service was great. Checkout was quick and easy with my phone, too! Will surely be going there regularly!!Kid-friendliness: Very roomy environment that provides plenty of room for strollers and high chairs. Servers were excellent with the kids and provided an extra plate without our asking for one.”

“Some of the best Chinese food in the Kanawha Valley. Our order is always correct, even when we ask for modifications to the dish. They pay attention to the special requests, especially regarding food allergies. Food has always been delivered hot and fresh. Service is great and when you go in to the restaurant, they seem to be very friendly.”
“The only thing I could critique is our entrées took a long time to the table but the service made up for it. I forgot his name but his daught plays basketball. Amazing and nice guy. The food was on point. They cooked my steak right. They were out of fried pickles a d potatoe skins which could have been fixed by buying pickles and prepping. Potato skins depends on how corporate wants them. Who knows may have been the same with the pickles. So just bump up your ordering a bit.Overall, it was a really wonderful visit.”
“Always great. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Charleston! If you know it you love it ...if you don't you are surly missing out. The menu has changed some over the years but the quality and consistency has not. The Greek Salad Bowl with house made fresh poppy seed rolls are perfect to start. The seafood is reflective of what's in season the catch but if it n doubt the blackened yellowfin tuna steak never disappoints. The steaks are great too, as are the Maryland Crab Cakes. And I can't forget to mention the raw bar where the oysters,shrimp, etc are chillin on ice. I only wish they would put my all time favorite meal back on the menu....the marinated Teriyaki Steak with red potatoes. It was one of a kind and set the bar for what I still to this day expect of steak.”
“This is our favorite spot in Charleston and we always stop in the get curry and a sushi roll. Best curry ? anywhere around! Wonderful people and great setting. Thank you as always for always providing great food.”
“This place had an awesome New York Strip! The service was excellent the waiter wasn’t at our table every second but also just seemed to know what and when we needed things! We sat in the big barrel table! A truly awesome experience! The bourbon selection was vast but they definitely had some pricy pricy pours in behind the bar but a great selection overall!”
“The best Brazilian steakhouse I have been to! Definitely try the chicken wings, garlic tenderloin and shrimp. Garlic bread melts in your mouth, grilled pineapple, and rice pudding was worth the price alone. Wendy sat us right away and checked on us continuously. Overall 10/10”
“4 of us. 15 min wait. Busy place. Server was nice. But she did pretty good. Did our refills on drinks. Prices are like up. But. That's everywhere now. Get the soup. Good. Again our server was determined to do a good job. Sirloin steak wasn't bad either.Parking: Free parking. Walking is good.”
“After so long we FINALLY decided to take a night for ourselves away from the kids. This was our first fine dinning experience at the highly anticipated Chop House in Charleston, WV. We received phenomenal service, and though the wait for our entrees was longer than expected, it was well worth the wait. I enjoyed the lamb chop lollipops with the BEAUTIFUL Beef Wellington, while my wife ordered the Rosemary Chicken. There were a few people that were making a lot of noise and distracting myself and my wife in the dining area, however they were also paying customers just trying to have a good time. I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you for our lovely server that took care of us this evening! I hope to pay another visit soon!”
“A great place! My first time here but definitely not my last!! My wife is a very big sushi fan and they didn't disappoint her!! Big ups to them for that!!! ???”
“I’ve had many many different menu items take out, delivery and dine in. You just have to try a lot of things. Something’s I get with every order is the Mexican Salad. It rounds out your experience especially if you order a-la-carte.”
“Great dining experience with the food and drinks, really an excellent quality of cuisine. The waitstaff was slightly less attentive than I'd prefer, needing to be called over several times for things.Would definitely return and recommend to others!”
“The waiter Skylar is phenomenal & others could take his teaching.Parking: Plenty to find a spotWheelchair accessibility: They have excellent handicap parking,one of the better ones.”
“We didn't eat, just drank but Sam our bartender was a peach. Tasty drinks, fun music, went on a Wednesday night so wasn't very busy. Still a good time.”
“We have ordered from Fortune Pavilion many times. It’s a mom and pop restaurant with usually just two people working. Food is cooked fresh to order and is really consistent. The flavors are a little different from what I usually receive from other places. For example the crispy chicken is more spicy and less sweet. There is no inside dinning.”
“We had a late lunch yesterday (2/28/24) and enjoyed the whole experience so much. Delicious food, very generous portions and GREAT service for a very reasonable price. I always judge a place by the cleanliness of the silverware and general area and it was perfect. Also, the iced tea was delicious; not everyone can make it to my standards. The menu had a lot of good choices. I had the Steak Salad w/blue cheese. So good! Would go again in a heartbeat!”

“The chicken gyro is hands down the best in Charleston! I was full after only eating 1/2 of it. when I came back to finish it the veggies remained fresh and crisp opposed to most places that welt & become soggy. Even through reheating it still tasted as if it was just made/served 2 thumbs (and all my 8 fingers) up!!!”

“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...”
“I'm glad my cousin and I were able to check this bar out. It's a smaller bar where mostly locals hangout but we felt welcomed here. Katy was a real friendly bar tender. There's a pool table and a touch tunes jukebox. It's a beer only bar. Worth stopping by”
“Very nice drive threw. No Confusion with order, she asked what we needed as Codements. I miss coaching big blues football, and just remembered playing both baseball and football across the street. Miss my Big Blues Family.”
“everything was great my only complaint is that they did loose an order but i believe that may have been due to a glitch in the system. I got a free 4pc nuggets as compensationKid-friendliness: this mcdonalds does have the little playground area for kids to enjoy while you wait on your meal.”
“Food was fresh. Prices was great actually. Got 2 big macs, 2 chz burgers, 2 large fries, 2 large drinks plus 20 piece nugget. for $13.00 amazing right . Well I thought so. No where else can you get that much food for that price”
“This is our favorite spot in Charleston and we always stop in the get curry and a sushi roll. Best curry ? anywhere around! Wonderful people and great setting. Thank you as always for always providing great food.”
“Great food, both upscale or downhome items to choose from on the menu but all made with the Chef's own flare! Get in now while he is just getting started here on the East End of Charleston because there is no doubt that when the word gets out, this place will have a line out the door!!”
“This place had an awesome New York Strip! The service was excellent the waiter wasn’t at our table every second but also just seemed to know what and when we needed things! We sat in the big barrel table! A truly awesome experience! The bourbon selection was vast but they definitely had some pricy pricy pours in behind the bar but a great selection overall!”

“These guys have figured it out, great food and many choices. Fast and friendly people giving great service. The restaurant is kinda nostalgic but yet open and very welcoming. Put them on your list, support local businesses. ?????Parking: Meters on street and in lot across the street”
“Such a cute coffee shop. Conveniently located just a short distance from the interstate. Amazing staff! Coffee was DELICIOUS! I'll definitely return when I am in the area. 20 out of 10 DEFINITELY recommend. Coffee, food, sweets. Yummmm.”
“I grew up in South Hills many years ago and we didn't have anything close to the quality of 1010 Bridge St back then. An amazing dining experience, every dish was expertly crafted down to the tiniest detail with the end result being a gastronomic bonanza!! Took my mother and my grandchildren for dinner - it was wonderful. Wish I could get back sooner!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Sweet little coffee shop. Staff were very friendly and accommodating (I drink half decaf/half regular and they didn’t make me pay extra for this as some shops do) coffee was great, and they had a good selection of snack bites— might have been nice to have more savory/protein options but the cheddar biscuit was amazing.”
“It smells so good when you walk in the door, and it tastes even better. Good service too, even though as newbies we were a little indecisive. We got "hot dogs" and see why they are so popular. Look forward to many more visits to try all of it!”
“What a delightfully delicious dining experience! Our food was terrific, especially the Angel Hair Crabcakes, and our cocktails were out of this world! Our server, Crystal, was the epitome of the best of the best! She made excellent food suggestions and never made us feel rushed. Kudos to Crystal! On our next visit to Charleston you can be sure we will once again dine at Hale House!”
“Hours listed on Google are wrong—it’s 4:20pm and they’re still open. Glad I was here for another store and saw the door ajar.Nice selection of things. Thoughtful curation of what they choose to sell….”
“I thought this place would be smaller but it’s actually pretty comfortable on the inside. The bar runs the length of the dining area with plenty of space between it and the tables. Since it was my first time here I let them order for me and I got the street tacos and it was delicious. The service was great and they were really kind to me. I am excited to go back and have more. They even brought me my own big bowl of chips. Which was nice as I was by myself and starving. I couldn’t have had a better first experience at a place. Nice to have a Mexican restaurant downtown and within walking distance in all of Charleston. The atmosphere is dark and the decor is really aesthetically pleasing. It really works for setting the mood. Good place to watch the games I imagine though none were on while I was in. I will be back with guest.Parking: Parking is limited but you shouldn’t have to park more than a block away at a meter or at the parking garage located on Summers Street. I believe it is free.Wheelchair accessibility: You can get inside the restaurant from the sidewalk and sit at the end cap of the table quite comfortably.”
“Took quite some time to get a table and none of the staff acknowledged our existence for about 30 minutes. But this place came highly recommended so we waited it out. Now I see why the food here was top notch and well worth the wait. The pricing was great too for how much and how great the food was. Would definitely recommend no matter the wait.”
“Really excellent bakery that specializes in a variety of breads (obviously), but also carries cookies, biscotti, muffins, coffee cakes, pastas and more.The location is obviously a work space and it's fun to see various staff working on a variety of goods. I love popping by any time I'm in charleston.”
“Was passing through and needed a healthy breakfast option, this did the job! The breakfast burrito had good amount of eggs and potatoes as well as the tortilla all had flavor, the fruit was okay but for the price cant be ”
“I would give 6 stars if I could. The hot dogs are all unique and have something that everyone can enjoy! Atmosphere is great, with a new section just recently added on that offers better convenience options like chips, pop, gum, etc. and very friendly staff. I can’t recommend this place enough if you work in downtown Charleston and need a quick bite to eat.”
“Extremely Good pulled Pork sandwich Medium had just the right amount of heat...and coleslaw on Top made for a perfect bite Service was awesome felt like a home welcoming missed hvn the banana pudding but gives us a reason to come back soon....”
“Pretty good place. Love the smoothies. Very cute. But two things knocked off a star:My $10 tuna salad panini was tasteless and way small for the $10 - no chips or any sides included. And it took a good 25 mins to serve. Woman at the counter told me it might take that long but for 25 mins, I’d expect something with a little flavor.Woman at the counter also seemed very young and very uninterested in serving. A male coworker came in halfway through her prepping my order and they were chatting up a storm… now I couldn’t see her so I can’t say if this actually slowed progress or not, but it sure seemed like it.Overall cute place. I might stop by again for a smoothie or açaí bowl, but I’m not particularly impressed.”
“Loved the lumpia, but brussel sprouts lacked char and sauce. Chicken sandwich and salmon bowl were great, but the build-your-own burger was too salty. Ban mi sandwich was mediocre. Some won ton chips were greasy. Good service, clean restaurant, pleasing atmosphere.”
“The best Brazilian steakhouse I have been to! Definitely try the chicken wings, garlic tenderloin and shrimp. Garlic bread melts in your mouth, grilled pineapple, and rice pudding was worth the price alone. Wendy sat us right away and checked on us continuously. Overall 10/10”
“Went to DT Prime the other night. The first thing I noticed is that their square tables are kinda small. We tried the crab bisque and French onion soup. Did not particularly like the onion soup, but the crab bisque was very good. Very small portion though. Their house bread is tasty though. We got the filets. Mine was considerably undercooked, but I just decided to eat it as is. It was good, but not great. Steaks come with one side. Salads are extra. The service was decent. All in all, I’d give it a 3.8. I’m not sure if the high prices are justified there, but it wasn’t bad by any means. Just wasn’t anything to write home about.”
“This time going was better than the last I can say. The food is good but a little pricy. It's pizza ya know. Overall, we like the place especially for the kids.Kid-friendliness: I love getting to let the kids go and play whichever games they want and they love it too!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This particular Jimmy John's spot on Capitol St. has always been a solid location - clean store, friendly staff, and good food. The sandwiches are made well and efficiently. This JJ's is worth stopping by to try!”
“My wife and granddaughter ate here, they say the food was good. But it's at the food court at the Charleston town center mall. The area is dirty and is crawling with people who are either homeless or on drugs. Don't let your young people go unchaparoned here. DANGER.”
“I didn't realize this location was inside the gas station, which made it convenient. My food was as ordered and I thought it was great that you could get cheeseburgers during breakfast hours.”
“Melissa,Is always a super sweetPerson.Always has a pretty smile toGive you.100% sweetheart.Parking: Free wheelchair accessibilityKid-friendliness: Kid friendliness.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility.”
“Never had a bad experience at this location. Definitely among the best franchises I've been to.My only question is if they sell their jimmy peppers? Those things on a sandwich are addicting!!!”
“The employees are amazing. The food was good and fresh. I will return to this business.Vegetarian options: Those options are readily availableDietary restrictions: Able to follow one's restrictionsParking: The parking lot can accommodate many vehiclesKid-friendliness: AwesomeWheelchair accessibility: Available”
“Can never go wrong with Chic fil A. Their lemonade is the best! I eat there so much my husband tells me i am going to turn into a chicken. Always friendly and clean and I love their food. I wish the franchise would bring back coleslaw. I literally could eat there 3 times a ”
“I don’t normally review chains but I visit the captain d’s about once a month for lunch. Each time I’m delighted by the speed and friendliness of the service. My food is either ready by the time I grab my sauces or being place on the table before I sit down. The food is fresh, hot, crispy, and cooked properly. Management is really do a good job of hiring and training people which is exceptionally challenging these days. I rated the atmosphere down a couple of point because the dinning room is showing wear since it’s last update. The prices are much higher but the portions and quality command it.”
“Late evening stop at the McCorkle Ave in Charleston while traveling I77. The order takers were helpful and were very friendly. The Whoppers and mozzarella sticks were great. My wife tried the new Cheesy tater tots and said they were really good!! Good job BK at this location!!”
“My grandsons favorite place to eat. You really can't beat it for price and taste. Employees are pleasant. Dining area and bathrooms clean.Parking: Parking was fine. They could use handicap parking on both doors.Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids. The food options are great.”
“Compared to any Arby's, anywhere, this Arby's checks off all the right boxes and certainly meets what we all expect in a fast food restaurant. First, great parking, next a nice friendly greeting at the counter, then I ordered a 1/2 pound roast beef sandwich meal. Of course, these are what brings me to Arby's for years and years. I do love their Gyros also! And they have many other sandwiches and Wagu hamburgers. This time, it was crinkle cut fries as the side. Otherwise, it would be curly fries and a diet Dr. Pepper. There is plenty of seating, and it's typicaly very clean. Yes, even the bathrooms, too. What more could we ask for? Kudos to a well run Arby's. You've got me as steady customer. I highly recommend this nice fast food restaurant for your lunch, dinner, or late night snack.”
“This Taco Bell is awesome. The drive through is always so fast, everyone that works here is happy and as kind as can be. They always get my order correct even though I'm a pain in the a** with mods. Definitely a good spot to grab a bite.”
“David was GREAT. A+ customer service and super nice.The owners/operators need to get their head out of the a** help out though - you’ve got one employee running the store but you can’t find the time or energy to come work at the store that you OWN.Shame on you. Hope you have the day you deserve.”
“I've been eating here with my family since I was a kid, I love it. I wish they'd bring back the smokin' joe hotdog! But they still have the classic big buford burger. Part of the rally's experience is eating at the picnic tables so if you want indoor dining, this isn't your place. Otherwise, I definitely recommend!”
“First time in this building since it was Suzi's. I'm very impressed I must say. The quesadilla was amazing. The tacos I got were beef and the flavor was excellent. We also ordered Cheese dip for the chips and it was some of the best I've had. The salsa was great too. We had our food faster than we ever had at any other Mexican restaurant and the service was great.”
“This restaurant is amazing ....the charcoal grill is a must for lamb. Anything I've ever gotten here has been fantastic!!!...yum, what a treat. It's one of my favorites.”
“After so long we FINALLY decided to take a night for ourselves away from the kids. This was our first fine dinning experience at the highly anticipated Chop House in Charleston, WV. We received phenomenal service, and though the wait for our entrees was longer than expected, it was well worth the wait. I enjoyed the lamb chop lollipops with the BEAUTIFUL Beef Wellington, while my wife ordered the Rosemary Chicken. There were a few people that were making a lot of noise and distracting myself and my wife in the dining area, however they were also paying customers just trying to have a good time. I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you for our lovely server that took care of us this evening! I hope to pay another visit soon!”

“Driving through town, hungry and tired. Stopped here because it looked interesting and had what everyone in the family likes...Pizza. From the moment we stepped in we felt like family. Service was impeccable! Can't wait to pass through again, I will be stopping here.”
“Great food! Great service! I love supporting locally owned small businesses like this. Had a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast biscuit. I love their biscuits because they are the lightest and fluffiest you can find. They don't weigh on you. Btw they also have the biggest and best burgers in southern West Virginia!”
“This place is amazing! I would highly recommend it if you like sushi. They have the best sushi in the area that I have found. I don't care for the other dishes that they have, but I don't like the gravy that they put on in this type of restaurant it has a funny aftertaste to me. So that's why they have high marks for me, I just don't like the type of food other than the sushi that they sell.”
“This place has a great feel to it. The bartenders are always friendly. Everyone makes you feel wanted and apart of something every time your there. Would definitely recommend.”
“They were busy with a big party and my food was too done we should have sat at the bar like usual, usually everything is on point when we eat at the bar. They take good care of ”
“These are absolutely the best sandwiches I've had. Phenomenal! It is a little pricey, but we'll worth the quality!Staff is friendly, they recommend good food if you're on the fence about what you want.5 out of 5 all day long!”
“I come here rather often and I absolutely love the place. The food is great and the workers are lively and fun to talk to, but recently I came in and was extremely disappointed. A middle aged woman seemed to have no idea how to do her job. I watched her stock the cones with her bare hands! EW! She also forgot my toppings on my ice cream, which she charges for. It was just a sad experience compared to what I had experienced in the past. I hope to get a better worker next time.”
“Best hotdogs our family of 4 have ever tasted! We lucked upon Chum's midway through a 12hr car trip...and although we had been discussing flying (instead of driving) in the future, after tasting Chum's hotdogs, we decided we will always drive. Very friendly, the slaw is INCREDIBLE, the fries HOT are perfect, and the corn fritters are dangerously delicious!”
“Always excellent and fresh food and they always have some sort of dessert you're going to like. Staff is extremely friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming!”
“Such a fun hang out place that is super safe! Right across from the Clay Center for Pre Gaming any show! Wonderful bartenders! Super clean & nice to chill! We will be back over and over again! As a female I felt super safe! Have food that was delicious and light!”
“Love this place! My grandma lives in Charleston and we always come here when we visit:) When I was in elementary school I yelled "This is the best hotdog I've ever had" leaving the busy restaurant and now as an adult I've learned the rest of the menu is just as good! Worth the visit!!!”
“I met the delightful owner on the first day of business as I went to eat at Dem Two Brothers next door. On my way back, I stopped in and found that she has opened an Italian ice shop. I tried the mango ice. The mango ice was very good and the proprietor could not have been nicer---(contrast to the hostess next door who seemed annoyed by middle of the afternoon patrons). Definitely a new asset to the Virginia Street neighborhood!”
“The price for lunch has gone way up. My husband and I usually go where we can share a meal, but we love this place and have not been there for a while. So we decided to go for lunch, almost 25. $ for 2 buffets and 1 tea. I don't eat that much & neither does he. We usually go somewhere where we can split a mealand sometimes still have leftovers. Great food, great service it's just that everything is so expensive anymore. You can't afford to go out to eat. I love my peanut butter and jam sandwiches, lol I love China Buffet and will go back when I have a few things paid off. It was just a shock when we got the bill because the last time we were in there, it wasn't that much for lunch.”
“Best coffee in the area! Enjoy the aroma of fresh joe as soon as your approaching! Many selections and variations you may choose from! Close to the interstate ramp and eateries. Check out the Capital Market and all the offerings!”
“I came in to pickup a takeout order with my toddler, and they were super nice and got our order ready. Also, not going to lie, I have no idea what kind of tea I got for my husband (I don’t usually do boba tea- I just like plain Thai tea) and the guy working did his best to figure out my mess of an online order. My son LOVED the açaí bowl (if you have a toddler, it’s just like what Blippi eats in an episode- sure to be a hit)! We had the pizza crowaffles and they were really good, but the star was definitely the strawberry crowaffles, super good! We parked around back (easier with a toddler), and they offered to help us out with our order if we needed it. We will be back!”

“Always great. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Charleston! If you know it you love it ...if you don't you are surly missing out. The menu has changed some over the years but the quality and consistency has not. The Greek Salad Bowl with house made fresh poppy seed rolls are perfect to start. The seafood is reflective of what's in season the catch but if it n doubt the blackened yellowfin tuna steak never disappoints. The steaks are great too, as are the Maryland Crab Cakes. And I can't forget to mention the raw bar where the oysters,shrimp, etc are chillin on ice. I only wish they would put my all time favorite meal back on the menu....the marinated Teriyaki Steak with red potatoes. It was one of a kind and set the bar for what I still to this day expect of steak.”
“Some of the best Chinese food in the Kanawha Valley. Our order is always correct, even when we ask for modifications to the dish.

“Absolutely phenomenal pizza. They have a super great vibe inside and Hannah was our watress and recommended the peppadue and chicken Gouda pizza and she couldn’t have been more right. The crust was great, not chewy and there was zero grease from all the toppings. We picked this place randomly after a long drive home and we are so happy we stopped by! Hannah was super sweet and kind. She’s a gem ”

“Awesome little dive rock bar with great, friendly and attentive service and cold drinks. I saw local band Hurl Brickbat who were outstanding and a lot of fun to watch. I really enjoyed myself. As is the case with many little dive bars, the craft beer selection is sparse, however all expected classic drink are available at an affordable price. I think I remember seeing food being available but I wasn't hungry so can't report on that.”

“Hadn’t been here in so I long I don’t remember if I’ve ever been. Went in for a lunch at about 12:30. Had to wait approximately 30 mins to be seated. Table was sticky bc they need refinished. Kinda gross and made me feel like it was dirty. Asked her to wipe it and the rag just stuck to the table. Ordered my 6oz sirloin steak medium. Cooked perfectly and was good steak. Baked sweet potato and Mac and cheese was good as well. Aside from the table I’ll be back and hope to be seated at a better non sticky table.”

My chicken tenders with moist, hot, and exactly what I’ve been craving. My tray was bused and I was brought a drink refill.I’ll add that was at 9:45pm and they stayed open until 10pm as advertised.”
