“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.“

“We were hosting a fundraiser for 150 people and knew we needed something special for our first year event. We found EXACTLY what we needed at Thyme After Time Southern Cuisine and Catering. It is truly southern comfort food at its finest! The buffet spread was delicious, but their prosciutto wrapped, asparagus, were so flavorful and the beef and sweet potato skewers were a show stopper! I highly recommend Thyme After Time for your next special occasion. Their staff was friendly professional and really worked hard to create an unforgettable dining experience.“

“Welcome to West Virginia in this, the only airport shop. Here I met a huge stuffed Sasquash, T-shirts, West Virginia apparel, UWV souvenirs, and Marshall University knick knacks. Besides vintage postcards, and souvenirs, they offer local products made in local small businesses.
I had to have the grilled cheese sandwich with bacon! This changes grilled cheese forever.
Great shop to grab those souvenirs as you leave town.
Accessible open venue. Accessible mens and womens restrooms close by in central airport. Van accessible short-term and long-term parking in paid airport lot.“
