Local Dining
Some of our favorites - from Hot Dogs to Fine Dining
This is about a 45 minute drive but worth it! The restaurant is housed in an old barn. It has been called Hillbilly-Asian Fusion as the Chef husband is a native Virginian and his wife is from Thailand. Homemade desserts, eclectic menu - It is a local tradition! Weekends are busy - be prepared for a wait.

This little gem has been in business since the 1950's. They still serve curbside and feature really good hot dogs, a plethora of shakes and soft serve. Within a few miles of the house.

The Thai food is excellent! I really enjoy the sushi choices as well, especially the chef's specials (watch the sriracha sauce - they are liberal with it)

Hands down the best Pizza in town! Salads are fresh - dine in or carry out. We normally get the super supreme - it will serve 3-4 easily.

Service can be rather slow but the food is good! We usually carry out. Try the garlic cheese knots! The chicken Parmesan will serve two and just order an extra salad :)

This is a bit of a drive but it is hands down the most inspired food in our area. Chef is amazing - as are the owners. It would be a good way to wrap up a day at Pipestem Park as it is within a mile or so of that location.

The New River Gorge Bridge is located about an hour and 15 minutes from the house. There is a Bridge Walk Tour that traverses underneath the bridge on the girders above the river - it is OUTSTANDING! One of the best things I have done in the state :)
