While in the area recently, my friends and I decided to check it out.
The menu is wide and varied: nachos, tacos, tortas, molcajetes, fajitas and more.
But first, chips and salsa.
And because that was so tasty, I went with a plate of nachos for my meal.
Frozen strawberry margaritas all around.
You can get "traditional nachos" or "off the grill" nachos.
I went with an order of "Nachos Libre" which had queso, shredded beef, black beans, rice, corn, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, jalapenos and queso fresco.
Oscar's Breakfast, Burgers & Brews specializes in a few of everyone's favorite things.
Surprisingly on this day, I was looking for something a bit lighter - probably because it was one where I stopped at a few different restaurants in the area.
This busy restaurant is local and has impressive branding. I was able to get a seat at the bar and look over the menu.
I went with the "Buffalo Ranch Salad," which had a bed of lettuce topped with tomato, onion, blue cheese crumbles, hickory smoked bacon, crispy chicken and drizzled with buffalo sauce and served with a side of ranch.What's your favorite thing to order here?
Italian is one of my favorite cuisines.
It's so comforting and delicious and, when done right, can make everything all better.
Fratelli's is a Barboursville restaurant that one of my good friends, Dawn, loves.
I stopped here for a quick lunch.
And, I was first greeted with these parmesan bread sticks with marinara. Mmm.
Then, I went for a lobster bisque soup.
And for my main meal - a rigatoni with marinara and mozzarella.What's your favorite dish here?
Gringos & Botanas is a "quirky" Mexican join in Barboursville.

Chips & salsa were immediately brought to the table, which was mild and refreshing.
The interior here was pretty - bright, beautiful colors and lovely art.
The menu had many standard items, but others with more creative takes. I went for a nachos appetizer to snack on while getting some work done.
Please imagine me lifting up each nacho in an effort to maximize the queso on each chip. Because that's what happened until this massive pile was gone. Yum.
There are two locations for Farley's Famous Hot Dogs: Barboursville and Hurricane. It appears there used to be a Milton one, but I can't find that.
One of the most venerable hot dog stands in the Tri-State, the first Farley's Famous Hotdogs opened as a Stewart's Hotdogs stand in 1968.This was followed by additional locations in Milton, which opened in 1986, and Hurricane in 1990. The drive-ins eventually split from the Stewart's franchise about a decade ago. Today, the three Farley's locations are a family operation. Harry "Buck" Farley co-owns the franchise and runs the Hurricane location. His mother, Phyllis Farley Ferrell, runs the Milton hot dog stand, while his son, Spencer Farley, runs the Barboursville location with his siblings Ryan and Morgan. (Herald Dispatch)I pulled up, and the guy working ran up to my car to take my order. I simply got one hot dog with sauce - not chili here - slaw, mustard and onions. Delish.
"My late grandmother came up with the with the original recipes back in 1969," Farley said. "The hot dog sauce is unique because of the spices. Our sauce is a touch of everything she made over her lifetime. A lot of people confuse sauce with chili. They're two different things. Hot dog sauce is something unique to West Virginia, which is not chili. Our recipe is unique. It has nothing to do with any other drive-in." (Herald Dispatch)Have you been?
The Big Loafer is one of the few places I could find in the Huntington area that dish out a pepperoni roll. Since they made the book, I've been excited to try out their pepperoni roll.
It came as a round pocket cut into quarters. I pulled apart half, then ate each quarter.
Super light & flaky and almost buttery! Have you tried it?
Christopher's Eats was recently listed in the 101 unique places to dine in WV list. The restaurant boasts its coal-fired oven and flatbreads, which are baked to perfection at 900 degrees, according to the website.
The Barboursville restaurant is located in a strip mall, which I wasn't expecting. But at least there is ample parking. The menus have also seen better days, but I was easily able to make my way to the "Artisan Flats."
Tom went with the "Ms. Piggy" flatbread, which has red sauce, pepperoni, pork belly, sausage, mozzarella and romano. I think he was OK with it; just not in love with it. Mostly pepperoni and sausage - kinda missing the pork belly.
I ordered the greek flatbread, which has white sauce, romano, roasted garlic spread, olive, red onion, tomato, spinach, feta, oregano and greek vinaigrette. Totally beautiful, right? It's gorgeous. And the first bite or so was good - nice chunks of feta and a little crunchy red onion. Then as I got inward, the vinaigrette kind of consumed everything, making it soggy, and the flatbread itself wasn't crispy. So everything just kind of ended up being mush. I couldn't pick up a piece to eat; I used my fork and knife to take a few more bites until it was just too soggy to be appealing.I think if the flatbread was crisp and had an actual crust, that texture difference would have been key. Maybe less vinaigrette to avoid that sog factor. That might also mean less toppings - I'm OK with that. But everything just getting mushy isn't super appetizing.
