  This is an interesting place - felt somewhere between a dive bar and a nice restaurant. The menu is not extensive, but the beer, wine, and liquor selection is fantastic - broad yet local. Service was fast and the food good. I had the dinner special of West Virginia trout with cooked beans and a salad. I'm on the fence for three or four stars, but overall the experience was positive - something felt off with the atmosphere. I see this place as a great watering hole.

  Please avoid this place. 1 star for ambiance, that's it. Five of us went for Sunday lunch. The Crab cake sandwich was an awful little frozen thing served on an enormous bun, but tasted horrible. The Hamburger tasted as if reheated from the day before, nasty. The Crab salad had maybe a tablespoon of crab on it, total rip-off. Both Ruebens had meat of very low quality and had a funky taste (probably old), and the 'grilled' bread was soggy. Both were gross. The few onion rings served in our order were soggy and greasy. Overall it was an absolute terrible experience.
  
  When I notified the waitress of our unhappiness, she said she'd tell the manager and promised that the food is normally excellent. Then she promptly returned to tell me that the manager was giving the cooks a good talking to, and handed me the bill. What the?!? Would have been nice for the manager to come talk to us and take something off the bill, but he didn't seem to care enough.
  
  I would NEVER go there again and recommend that you don't either. It's a kitchen nightmare that needs Chef Ramsay. It's a place that needs to be put out of its misery. The water was good, though.
