“Been here so many times I can't count but never said anything about my experience. This is by far the best place for Cajun dry rub wings. They are amazing. The ghost pepper burger is great as well. I had the jalapeno cheese sticks for the first time today and I'll never get plain again. I will be back again for sure“

“We visited 1010 tonight (6/19/25) to celebrate my five year remission for cervical cancer. Chef Paul was gracious, accommodating, and generous. Additionally, our server, Chris, was attentive, engaging, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a small plates surprise, which was delectable, our favorite zucchini ribbons, and squash bisque to start. 10 of 10. No notes. We then shared the special, roasted duck, and the fisherman’s pie. We were mesmerized by the tiny popping peppers in the fishermen’s pie, having never seen/tried them. What a delight. It’s a rarity to experience innovation but Chef Paul has it down. We topped off our culinary delights with a few specialty cocktails, bananas foster bread pudding, and the crème brûlée of the day. My husband might’ve left me for the horchata dessert cocktail. 😋“

“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!“

“Laury’s provides a phenomenal experience every time we dine here. This is mine and my husband’s go-to dinner for celebrations, birthdays, or just when we want to ensure we’ll have an amazing meal and enjoy the ambiance. I recommend this restaurant to everyone for the ultimate fine dining experience. Laury’s is by far the best dining experience not only in the Charleston area, but I would go as far to say out of anywhere we have dined. Ever. We travel regularly and are always trying out new restaurants, but nothing compares. We have tried nearly everything on the menu and whether you are ordering their least expensive dish to their most expensive steak, you cannot go wrong. Laury’s is truly the best!“

“The food is amazing ! The service is great . They have the best people working there. Everyone is friendly. The food is always good.“

“Best Tudors in Kanawha Valley. Biscuits are always fresh and the staff somehow always make me laugh and are very friendly!“

“We were going to go to a different restaurant after a conference but changed our minds after we looked at the menu prices. We found the same extravagantly-tasting food at Hale House for more reasonable fine-dining. Get a reservation, just in case, but we were able to walk in. It's near parking at the city building near the Davidson building, just a couple of minutes walk. Just spectacular: I got the pork chops with homemade au gratin potatoes. The pork chops were grilled perfectly in butter and spices, and the au gratin potatoes are the best I've ever had outside of making the box. Most restaurants cannot do au gratin potatoes and keep the cheese from breaking, but Hale's got it how it should be. My dining partner got an appetizer as an entree, crab cakes deep fried in Angel Hair pasta. It sounds weird, but the traditional crab cakes had a soft texture and the angel hair was crunchy, giving an artistic look and contrasting texture. My dining partner got a small salad, and the two together were a meal. It was $75 with tip, but no drinks or appies/ dessert. The first restaurant we looked at was $75 a PLATE! 😳😳😳 And Hale has a secret speakeasy that is fully decorated historic and the drinks are spectacular. To sum, spectacular, fine dining for reasonable prices, and fun/historic atmosphere to modern grill. I need to go back more often! 💫💫💫💫💫“

“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!!“

“Boneless wings tasted like pickle juice so I guess they bought them at Sam’s first time the food was nasty but won’t ever go back“

“Had layover long driving stops in charleston a few times past couples years and made this my go to takeout breakfast burrito spot after the first time. Last time took a wrap for lunch on the road and hit the spot. Fantastic staff. Fantastic food“

“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.“

“I’ve been going into this location for several months in the morning. The young man with the salt and pepper hair is always so polite and nice. He makes my whole experience so much better. He remembers what I buy every morning and has it ready and waiting for me. Great customer service from this young man! I’ve had previous experiences at this location that were not so nice and stopped going for a long time. He makes my day a bit brighter. Kudos for such a pleasant person Cold Spot!“

“Go during the day to avoid the loud drunk scene at night if you’re not into that! Good spot, of course please get at that fried feta 🤤 the pitas it came with had a mild fridge taste but the feta was so good it didn’t even matter at that point.“
