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.

First visit, very friendly staff, great food. I had the special, which was a bowl of chili, and added their grilled 4 cheese sandwich. My daughter had their Original chicken sandwich, BIG, light crispy breading. The large order of fries more than enough for 2, glad I don't get the basket, perfectly prepared. Will be back.

Another great experience here on 2/24/2025 So, I could not leave another review without deleting my previous review from 2 months ago. My wife and I have been traveling the country for work for the past 10 years, and we have experienced a vast amount of diners and cafés and none of them have come close to the quality of the meals they provide here and the level of flavor she is able to pack into each one and that's not including the portion sizes. Everything is prepared fresh per order, and I don't mean from a freezer or pre-made to cooktop. Anytime I go somewhere to eat that has a Rueban on the menu, that is what I order, and I believe that this place has the best one i have ever had the marble rye is grilled perfectly and is crisp until the very end. My wife ordered the Bacon Steak Burge

Over the past few months my friend and I have read the excellent reviews and seen the pictures of the food at 1st Place Cafe. We decided to try it out today for lunch and we weren't disappointed. Everything is FRESH & MADE TO ORDER. All of the sauces are made from scratch in house and are amazing. They will allow you to try a little before you order if you are unsure, I loved that! The blue cheese dressing is the best I have found in the Charleston area. If you enjoy lemonade, make sure to try theirs, like everything else it is made from scratch not from the fountain or a can. Sandwiches come with or without fries. If you are dining with someone, chances are only one of you will need to order your meal with fries. There were two of us and we still didn't finish them. In addition, the

We've heard a lot of great reviews about 1st Place Cafe and since we were in the area around dinner last night, we decided to give it a try. We called in a pickup order and they were ready right on time, checkout was quick and easy. One of the most consistent things we've heard about 1st Place Cafe is that the portion sizes are very large. Knowing that, we were somewhat prepared for a big sandwich and a good bit of fries. We were still blown away by how enormous the portions were, they're absolutely gigantic. The Nashville Blue chicken sandwiches we got took up most of a full size plate, and even with a very large pile of fries on our plates, we still had a ton of fries left over. So yes, the portions here are huge. The food itself was great. I'm usually not a huge fan of very skinny fri
