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!

One of the best grills I have ever been to. If you are in West Virginia and want a fantastic steak, this is the place to be. I had a little bit of a wait but it was not excessive at all and in my mind, it was worth it. I can not recommend this place enough! I will definitely be back!

Local "dive" bar, my kind of place. The bartender was awesome. She had a full house and didn't miss a beat. If you're looking for a low-key atmosphere, this is it.

You're probably going to think you're in a dive bar...eh, not really. Just go there. Order anything on the menu and if you're not happy then come back here a let me have. I personally don't think there's anything that's not good. The Sam' burger is the best around. And the beer is the coldest in town. Friendly staff with outgoing personality.

Went in for a few apps (6 wings, fried mushrooms, tater tots) and a couple beers after traveling all day. After our first beer we sat with empty beers for a good 15 minutes before being asked if we wanted another round. After getting second round I asked to place a food order. After placing the order for 3 quick fried food options I waited for 20 something minutes before THE ONLY PERSON WORKING asked if I had gotten my food yet. I was kind of surprised by the question because their were only six people sitting in the bar and she was THE ONLY ONE SERVING. I said no with a puzzled tone. She went to the kitchen (which is in plain sight of the bar seats, so I saw her go tell the cook that there was a ticket which he had not even started yet) only for her to walk back to me to tell me that it was almost ready despite me seeing that whole encounter..... 7 more minutes pass so we are at about 30 minutes now, she returns and tells us that they are out of tater tots and offers cheese fries instead. Sure fine. After plating my wings the cook grabbed a trash can bare handed and then without washing his hands reached into the celery and grabbed some and put it on my plate. I just removed the celery from my plate at this point because it would have been a hassle to even mention. Ask for check at the end and the bartender that doesn't really tend the bar too attentively mentions that she discounted the fries and that she thought "that was fair for the trouble" came off rude and dismissive. Guess you gotta be a Mountaineer to get any decent service at this place. And I didn't like writing this at all because anytime I write a review it's because I liked something. Really cool folk at the bar and has the right vibe, just needs attentive staff that care enough to take care of guest and also not lie about food being almost ready when the kitchen is quite literally in plain sight. 37 minutes for fries, fried mushrooms and six wings is CRAZY when it's the ONLY order. Cheers.

Dive bar with a weird sewer smell that you sometimes catch a whiff of barely masked by some cleaner (definitely not fabuloso, Roberto knows fabuloso when he smells it) Best burgers in Charleston, Reuben was great. One of three restaurants open after 9 near Capitol St.
