“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!“

“We went to the attached bar. I gave the 1 star on food because we arrived just as they were closing the food down and didn't want to bother them by ordering last second. We will try to arrive earlier than 8pm next time so we have time to order and enjoy some food. The drinks were well made and they didn't skimp on the alcohol! They have Karaoke and the DJ is very kind and helps you feel at home when singing. The atmosphere is soft lighting and makes you feel safe and at home. The bartenders were helpful and the male bartender was my ABSOLUTE favorite! He was SO helpful and fun to talk to! The guy that worked as "Bus boy" was SUPER friendly and helpful as well! 10/10 DEFINITELY recommend!

Parking: There is a paid parking lot across the street with plenty of space and a short Walk to the bar and restaurant. Also, very affordable in the evening and weekends.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The Tap is great! We were here a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The manager is so nice and knowledgable. They have an excellent selection of WV craft beers & WV ciders. They also do cocktails, sangria, and have a good selection of bourbon. We have had a charcuterie board (very nice), their Buffalo Chicken dip (it’s delicious), and Potato Skins (tasty). They have burgers, bbq,, sandwiches, and some other appetizers on the menu. We are here tonight and they are having a costume party from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Come on out to The Tap in downtown St. Albans.“

Asked for our names and always called us by them while serving us.We never ran out of bisquits,drinks,etc and it was so nice having a waitor that interacted with the customers on this level!“

“Rarely had any bad or overcooked food from this location. Usually good service. Sucks they shortened their hours from 7pm to 2pm. Edit: Open to 7pm again. Must have been pandemic related.“

“Nice updated building, new machines, wide variety of snacks. Not a place that I play at daily but no complaints about it either..I would recommend checking it out if you have not done so...

Parking: You are not likely to have parking issues here because it's located in a plaza...Often I see cars parked right up front of the doors so no worries there...“

“Always an awesome time at the Eldo! Good people and good food!“

“My son and I got breakfast here this morning. First time I'd ever tried this place. It did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly. Restaraunt was clean and neat. The food was great. I got a breakfast platter. The biscuits were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The sausage gravy seemed to be made in house with the sausage grease (the best kind.) The sausage we got was perfectly seasoned and the home fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. I would recommend this place if you're in the area or need a break from driving on thr interstate.“

“The prices are WAY too high for the box lunches or I would probably eat here once every week or two. Fortunately, their receipts have promos on them if you complete a survey etc. and they often email promos/coupons. The staff is CLEAN, very friendly and has treated me very well. I am disappointed they discontinued baked beans as a side. The croissants and cookies are especially tasty. Happy to still have this business in our area“

“eh it was ok, wouldn't write gome about it“

“Food was good. Cashier was distracted with side work for a long time before she took our order. Order was wrong, but we ate it anyway and it was good. We tried to eat inside, but there was a strong odor of sewer coming from the bathroom, so we ate in our car. The one in Marietta Ohio was 1000 percent better. I don't recommend this location.“
