The whole experience here was great! Im not from town and was just stopping through for work and seen this little place. My friend and I ordered 2 hot dogs each along with beer battered fries and waffle fries. Food was really good. Would recommend the deep fried hot dog 🌭 and beer battered fries! The atmosphere is very homey and relaxed. Definitely stop in and try this place!

I gotta say, these are the nicest people you would ever want to do business with. We stopped by here and the 4 of us all got hot dogs and fries. The dogs were fresh and hot and the fries were perfectly homemade. They had made a small mistake on the order and corrected it immediately. Resulting in us having more hotdogs than we wanted. I started to say, more hot dogs than we could eat. But that’s not true. Haha. I personally wasn’t a fan of the chili. Not that it was bad, but it’s much sweeter than I like and not as spicy. But you could tell everything was fresh and hand done. Gotta try their biscuits and gravy next time. Saw a lot of folks eating it and it sure looked good. Nice and clean inside as well. 👍🏼

I love the atmosphere of this place. I always get their biscuits and gravy, it's amazing. The gravy is creamy and it has sausage that isn't chew like some places. Their prices are decent except for the fries, those are way to expensive for the small servings you get. I really think the serving size for fries should be better because they are very good. I see a lot of regulars come in here and it's a well known local place. I've seen a few people come in and just say "the usual" and staff just automatically knows them. I love seeing that ✨

Very good gravy and biscuits. Was recommended by a friend as we were passing through WV. Glad we stopped. Small little "hole in the wall" place but really good food but that's usually the case with out of the way places. Very friendly staff.

I've tried biscuits and gravy from Buffalo NY to Charleston SC. These are the best I've had other than my Grandma's
