The food wasn’t great. The food took so long to come out. There was an extremely loud group of teens who came in and were antagonizing me because I had a Herbert Hoover shirt on and the workers did nothing about it.

The food is delicious, but I've called 8 times in the last 15 minutes to try to place a pickup order, but the call keeps going to voicemail. Very disappointed I have to find something else tonight :/

1st Place Cafe in Nitro, WV: A True Winner! First Place Cafe in Nitro, WV, absolutely lives up to its name! This restaurant serves up some truly amazing food that is both delicious and beautiful to look at. The chicken sandwich and the hamburger were delicious. The quality is evident not just in the incredible taste but also in the presentation—the food was visually perfect, showing real care in the kitchen. And don't overlook the side! The fries were delicious, perfectly cooked, and the ideal complement to the main course. For a meal that is a perfect combination of flavor, quality, and visual appeal, make 1st Place Cafe your next stop.

1st time here passing through. 1st off was like ummmmm well, then it blew my socks off!! Little restaurant and probably the best hand breaded chicken I've ever had in my life! Burger was amazing, homemade fries were seasoned like I've never had. You won't leave hungry! Let's talk about the staff though.....top tier!!! Owner is the cook and the nicest staff I've interacted with! If I pass through again, definitely will make the time! The wait was worth it!!

Was looking for a new place to have lunch today and checking out this place did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the service was second to none. I would highly recommend and I will for sure be visiting again!!!
It was my husband’s birthday and we wanted to try something different that was close by. I’m so glad we did! The food was amazing! Portions are huge and the fries! Oh Yum Yum! I’m not even a fry lover and I liked them. The owner is super sweet and friendly. Customer service is an A plus! Sorry no pictures as we were all hungry and it looked so good we dove right in🙂
The wait can be long is an understatement, they can be extremely long. Like an hour and forty-five minutes in my experience. Needless to say my wife and I began to succumb to the hangry. My mind was made up and I was going to leave an undesirable review. But I've always said that , if I'm waiting this damn long for food, it better blow me away. One bite is all it took. That was one of the best burgers I've had the pleasure to experience. A well deserved 5 stars, we'll definitely be back when we return to the area.

My first time here with my husband and 3 kids. We ordered our food at 5:45pm. We didn't receive a receipt nor did they come and speak with us that it would take some time and there was gonna be a wait. Our basket of fries didn't hit the table until 7:00pm. We had ordered 3 burgers, a grilled cheese, and 1 chicken tender that was 2 pieces. We asked for a refund that the owner refused to see us and refused a refund. Explaining we already had the food at 7:25pm. Regardless of if a customer has their food or not. Almost 2 hours is not an okay time to wait for a meal like this. I'm not saying food is not good, but the customer service and not empathizing with the customer is not okay. It really ruined the experience for me since it was my first time. I empathize with the cook and server being as I work in the food industry myself, but no communication, nor trying to empathize and help the customer feel better absolutely sucked and absolutely uncalled for. If I personally could I would give this a zero star all based on service...

My son and I ate a late lunch/dinner here today. We have eaten there before and never a complaint. Our sweet & savory chicken sandwiches were 100% on spot and fries were hot and crispy when served. I will drive from one end of the valley to other to enjoy food loving prepared . We totally recommend going to 1st Place Cafe !!!

This is not fast food, this is a young lady putting out "made to order" great food. The chicken sandwiches are second to none in this area. The portions make this place an exceptional destination. Very clean, plenty of TVs, and a soothing atmosphere with the music playing in the background...Love this place.
