Restaurants near Hedgesville

“I stopped by Nutmeg Palace for the first time today and was impressed. I tried their French toast coffee (hot), and it was delicious, balanced with just the right amount of sweetness.

What makes this place even more special is the story behind it. It’s a small, locally owned spot run by a husband-and-wife team, Matt and Mattie, who genuinely care about creating a healthier, more thoughtful coffee experience. They source their beans from a small-batch roaster in Pennsylvania and use real maple syrup as a natural and default sweetener at no extra charge. They told me they want to discourage the use of sugar because it’s bad for your health and they learned that from personal experience.

You can tell they believe coffee and tea should not only taste amazing but also support your well-being. Every detail feels intentional, from the quality ingredients to the cozy, artisanal vibe. Even the name “Nutmeg” comes from a horse you’ll spot on their logo, such a charming touch.

I’m already looking forward to trying more flavors. What a gift to have a spot like this right here in Hedgesville!

Mattie and Kathryn, thanks for the lovely coffee. Here is a poem I put together after tasting your coffee today:

Nutmeg Palace

I stopped today at Nutmeg Palace’s door,
And found a place I’ll doubt no more.
Their French toast brew, so warm, so deep,
Struck perfect balance—rich yet sweet.

Each sip revealed a thoughtful art,
A crafted cup, a mindful heart.
No syrup false, but maple true,
That lent its grace to what I knew.

A husband, wife, with gentle aim,
Have built far more than just a name.
They choose each bean with earnest care,
From small-batch roasters, rich and rare.

They hold a faith that drinks can be
Both joy and quiet remedy.
Each detail placed with purpose clear,
A cozy craft you feel draw near.

And in their mark, a horse’s frame—
Nutmeg, the soul behind the name.
A charming sign, a story told,
In lines both simple and yet bold.

I’ll wander back, new tastes to try,
Beneath that warm and watchful sky.
What gift to find, so close, so bright,
A place that makes the day feel right.”

“Staff and patrons are wonderful! My new go to spot on Saturday's. Wings are excellent! If you want a laid back, welcoming establishment- visit CJ's!”

“Food was fairly good. Ham and cheese omelette was plentiful. The mixure of ham and cheese had a slightly unappealing, slippery mouthfeel. Breakfast potatoes were spot on for my taste. Service was regular. However, void of personality. No problem because I was there to fuel my body. Not be entertained or socialize. Must mention most tables were occupied creating a heavy workload. All things considered I gave a 30% tip.”

“First time there tonight the cheesesteaks are pretty dam good I must say”

“Wife n I have been getting takeout here for years. The food is great. Service is awesome.”

“5 stars best bar in area”

“Great Pizza, good service.”

“I had a fantastic experience at this Subway. The staff were friendly, quick, and actually seemed to care about getting my order right. The restaurant was clean, well-stocked, and had a comfortable atmosphere that made it very easy to enjoy my meal. My footlong sandwich was fresh, perfectly made, and tasted great. Honestly, it was one of the best visits I’ve ever had at a Subway, and I’ll definitely be coming back to this location.”

“I was able to order thru kiosk then pick up food at cashier area. Plenty of tables to choose, I found table that I wanted but food crumbs all over it so I skipped to next table.”

“Great place, great food, great service.”

“We love coming here. Brought our 3 & 8 year olds. Miss Jordan was incredibly sweet. While working and helping other people, she was very sweet to our little ones. She gave them stickers and treats. Always great coming here.”

“Connie was the best waitress and made our dinner fun and easy”

“Last night brought an unexpected gift, my best friend from the Marine Corps, a brother I hadn’t seen in twenty years, came to town for work. We met at Stoneys, letting the night unfold with laughter, memories, and honest conversations about life’s journey. The warmth from the staff, the inviting atmosphere, and the perfect drink selection made it feel as though we were sharing a good bottle of bourbon by a fire pit, far from the rush of everyday life yet. Stoneys may have it all, but now it also holds a small piece of history: two old friends, reunited at last, sharing stories that quietly added another layer to the heart of this special place.”

“I tried the Jo Jo tonight. It was very good. I'll be back to try other flavors.”

“Take Out server Halley is the absolute best Very professional - courteous - and pleasant Highly recommend and Thanks Halley #1”

“Came to Burnt Bean Coffee Co. for the first time this morning with my fiancé! I got a hot dirty chai & he ordered an iced mocha latte. Both drinks were DELICIOUS. The barista was so kind and welcoming. She explained their spring menu to us and filled us in on the rewards program. I can’t wait to come back!”

“Ordered online since I am in town for a conference and my food arrived fast and is better than I could have hoped for. If you are on the fence, go ahead and get the gelato. Trust me, it’s worth it.”

“Second time here and first time getting crabs. The best crabs I've ever tasted! They didn't have a fishy, water logged taste like most restaurants. We bought the large and they didn't disappoint. We usually go to Fisherman's Crab Deck in Kent Narrows but didn't want to drive that far this time. Heavy crabs came out piping hot. Lots of Old Bay. The best thing is only $75 for a dozen!!! Mediums were $40!. We'll be back! Thank you so much!!”

“Great food for eating in the cafe or take out. The main place for natural food, Whole grains, herbs, and some fresh produce. Anything you want healthy they usually offer.”

“Another awesome meal at Kitzies rock cliff drive. Kelly our waitress was delightful. The meal was exceptional and the price was reasonable. This is a real hidden gem. Please open one in Shepherdstown”

“We have ordered pizzas from Rockys pizza multiple times and they are always delicious. Recently we just tried their steak and cheese subs which were also amazing. Really nice people, delicious food, and good prices! If you’ve been craving a steak and cheese sub, you definitely need to try Rocky’s.”

“Food always delicious and good service 🫶🏻”

“First time in your establishment and found this event to be run very smoothly. Hostess was lovely and inviting. Comedian, John Knight drew us in. We’d definitely see him again. Had one of your delicious ales. My husband picked it for me. Not sure what it was. Your bartenders were fun to watch and pleasant. I had to try a cocktail. It was very good. Your pizza is delicious! It’s all about the crust for us, so good! We are looking forward to return visits for beer and pizza. About time we have a place like this! Please keep bringing in the great comedian acts like John Knight.”
