After walking on the Greenbriar Trail, we stopped in for lunch. Loved the steampunk setting and LOVED the food. We had quesadillas (veggie version for me), which arrived in such generous portions that we took home plenty for lunch the next day too. To get such good food in a relaxed, friendly place was really great -- we'll look forward to our next visit.

Took nice ride along scenic highway into Marlington. Lucust was only place we found with beer. Enjoyed libations while watching folks play Corn Hole. Proprietor was friendly. Wish we'd come for dinner. BEAUTIFUL scenery and hilltop spot.Thank you, so glad you drove past and found us. Hope you can come again and join us for dinner &/or stay in the Inn or cabin!

Greenbrier Grille and Lodge

Reviewed By BoilerMakerBob - Greenwood, Indiana

Location is great - right on the river.
Ducks EVERYWHERE - looking for a handout!
Once inside, we were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken & the drinks delivered promptly.
The menu has a wide variety of selections. I went for the stuffed potato while my wife ordered a bowl of gumbo.
The salad bar was pretty ordinary - not bad but not very memorable.
The food came soon and the stuffed potato was absolutely covered with a red pepper sauce that was interesting but all in all pretty bland. The gumbo was tasty but had a bit too much rice in it.
The credit card machine wasn't working so it was cash only..
All in all, pretty ordinary fare. Not bad but not memorable either.
Would I eat here again? Probably but I'll explore other options first.

Jack Horner's Corner

Reviewed By jjsmorris - Abingdon, Virginia

Great little store with a little bit of everything. Some food, some camping supplies, cute T-shirts, ice cream, sandwiches, etc. Tube rentals, kayaks, etc. Very helpful staff, very friendly. We went there every day for one thing or another while staying at Watoga Cabins. Very fair prices.

I went on a Sunday afternoon after hiking trip. Just wanted lunch and some cones to cool off. We ordered and they were quick to take order. it was slow, we had no one ahead of us. Order took forever and was wrong. Staff was young, which would be fine since its DQ, but not super friendly or professional. Just did not seem to care, had attitude like we were bothering them instead of paying their wages by stopping. Should have went back to Jack Horner's a bit down the road..

We love Rayetta's!! It's kinda like old time lunch counter. Hot dogs, nacho's are served everyday. And a meal changes everyday. Hot dogs are $1 and are great with mustard, onions, chili and slaw!!! A deal!! But the daily spl is often as good.....and always in the $5-6 range. Go on enchilada day is best!!

ONLY complaint is they are closed some days for spl events....so check. And also only open M-F.....but great deals from great folks!!!

Dorie's has good food. Sometimes a little slow getting to the table if it's crowded or a waitress short. It happens. Decent price, good value.

My boyfriend and I thought it would be a quick dinner for us. When will pulled in one of the lady's that work at subway was outside on her break with her hand down some guys pants to her elbow. That same girl went back inside and stared handling food with out washing her hands Untill I asked her to wash her hands. Then they didn't have any of the food we wanted. So we ended up going to the snowshoe subway which was alot nicer

Reviewed By DaveVWV - Marlinton, West Virginia

Tudor's just opened here in town. About like every other Tudor's but nice to have a new place as we have very few in the almost 1000 sq miles in the county. Food was served fast and hot. Average or a little better. Only issue is short hours....they close at 2:00 pm in afternoon...so get there early.

Sixties Cafe

Reviewed By Rondi F - Snowshoe, West Virginia

If you like overcooked and/or veggies heated from a can, oversalted food, instant potatoes, basic cafe cooking, this is the place for you. I live in this town and I'd rather go just about any eating establishment than this one. But many folks seem to like it fine.
