We love to go to Pies & Pints. Varied and exciting pizzas all worth a try. We usually get a large and do half of one kind and half of another. If you get it double cut everyone can have a taste of each! They have seating outside. It has comfy outdoor furniture so you can relax. I highly recommend trying it out one day or evening when you are here. Whether to eat in or to take back to the house. They also started a great kid’s pizza kit that you can purchase to take home and make pizza at home with the kids. Great fun!

We love Wood Iron Eatery. Farm to table small local restaurant with delicious offerings. Serves breakfast and lunch. Food from scratch. Serving breakfast, lunch, and baked goods. Full service espresso bar featuring Bad Kid Coffee - roasted on-site. Not your average cafe.

20+ year local favorite! Start your day with breakfast and coffee under stained-glass windows at this local cafe and former church. Local staff all seem to either work in, or know someone who works in, the local adventure-tourism industry, so it’s a good spot to figure what’s going on in the New River Gorge area.
