I have discovered a hidden gem deep in the mountains of West Virginia that has become one of my recent favorites. Mim's Kitchen is located in Marlinton and serves up homemade food cafeteria-style. A few words of wisdom if you go: It's likely you won't have cell phone service, so make sure that you download your driving map to get there while you still have service. It's also important to have cash on hand. While the restaurant usually does take cards, the machine was down while I was there, and luckily, I had a personal check to use. To start, the building is lovely. It is rustic but cozy and it is secluded enough to feel like you're in a private space. Once you walk in, you veer to the right and see the menu that is available that day. On this particular day, there was meatloaf, roast beef, broccoli and cheddar chicken, and honey pork as the mains. At the counter, the options are laid out behind glass and the person working offers you options. It started with salad - and not the leafy green kind. More so the prepared kind. I opted for broccoli salad, which is crunchy and a bit sweet and creamy, too. For my main, I went with the broccoli & cheddar chicken, which looked like one of those delicious homemade recipes you'd find on Pinterest. Super moist and a heaping helping. Then, it was time for sides. I went for green beans and macaroni & cheese. Both solid. At the very end, a cooler full of desserts awaits. It's not included as part of the dinner price, but it is not to be missed. Every single option looked phenomenal, but I opted for the pecan pie cheesecake. Wooo-weee. So, once everything is assembled, one of the employees brings it into the dining room and sets it at a table for you. They also fill your drink cup. I had an entire feast in front of me - but that still wasn't all. They bring buttery rolls out, which were delish. All in all, this was a wonderful meal in a beautiful setting. Have you been? Grade: A
