Cafe Appalachia is a new restaurant -- and concept -- in South Charleston.

The restaurant is pay-what-you-can, and it helps folks who have been dealt a rough hand get back on their feet.



From their Facebook: "A pay what you can, farm to table, lunch buffet and coffee house that serves the general public and provides job training for a hand up and not a hand out."




The restaurant has a set buffet menu each day, and you can choose large or small portions.


On the day I went, they had pasta - with or without meat sauce - so I went without because it was a delicious garlic basil sauce.

The sides were salad, bread and rice pudding for dessert. This was a large size to-go.
