West Virginia is home to yet another Waffle House!

There are only a couple in the state - over in the Eastern Panhandle and one in Huntington. And, now, there's one even closer to home: in Barboursville.

I'm new to the Waffle House fandom, but I've learned my hashbrown order: smothered, covered, chunked and capped (onions, cheese, ham and mushrooms). The hashbrowns are really the star here, so that's most important. I got a double order.

PS Did you know they called it the WAFFLE house because the waffles had the biggest profit margin? And since it was in the name, that's what most people started ordering?


The hash browns and a slice of pecan pie? The best combo ever.

The Fuel Counter is a make-your-own sandwich, salad and pizza shop that has a location in Huntington.

And, they recently opened up another location in Barboursville. It's a small space, but perfect for takeout.

So I went with a pizza: red sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, mushrooms, fig and balsamic glaze.

Have you been?

Barboursville has a bunch of great places to eat.

Recently, I was in the mood for sushi so I made my way to Shogun Japanese Steakhouse.

While you can opt for the hibachi grill, I perused the sushi menu.


And, I went with the West Virginia roll - crab, cream cheese, shrimp tempura and all the sauces.

And, a Turtle Roll, which was much the same but deep-fried.

Xuan Fusion Sushi is a pretty small sushi counter in Barboursville.


The restaurant serves sushi rolls, as well as yaki soba and some other dishes like salmon and wraps.


First, I ordered a boba drink.


Then, I went with the Captain Jack Roll - deep fried seaweed out, inside with shrimp, crab meat, cucumber & cream cheese, drizzled with spicy mayo & eel sauce.

Oscar's Breakfast, Burgers & Brews moved to a larger location, so I wanted to go check it out.


This restaurant has a cool concept, serving up breakfast, burgers and brews, of course. So, it was perfect when I was driving through the area at breakfast time.


I'm not a typical eggs and bacon girl, so I went for the "Flapjacks" with a side of sausage.


Gotta have that sweet and savory.

Dave's Hot Dogs in the Barboursville Mall serves up, of course, hot dogs but also ice cream!

So I got one with chili, slaw, mustard and onions.

And a milk & cookies milkshake.

The Barboursville Mall has a variety of options in the food court, one of which is China Max Asian Cuisine.

The food court spot has standard Americanized Chinese food offerings: sweet & sour chicken, General Tso's chicken, lo mein, crab rangoons, etc.

You can get a few different offerings (up to three) over steamed rice, fried rice or lo mein.

I went with General Tso's chicken, as well as sweet & sour chicken.

Which is your favorite combo?

The Barboursville Mall is full of food options, from Chick-fil-A to rolled ice cream.

I recently went to do some shopping, and while there, I grabbed a bite to eat.

Cosimos Pizza is a pizza shop that has a number of pizzas available, as well as baked rolls, salads, pasta, and subs.

I ordered a pepperoni roll and a side of pasta salad. It hit the spot. The pepperoni roll had a nice crisp crust on the bottom with tons of oozing cheese. A side of marinara for dipping. And, pasta salad is always one of my favorites.

The Barboursville Mall is one of my favorites - not only because they have an Old Navy, but they have a lot of options in the Food Court that are more local.

One I've tried recently is Hibachi Master, which is made-to-order hibachi food. I went with teriyaki chicken, which came with vegetables and fried rice. Yum! Have you been?

The Metro Valley is home to three different rolled ice cream shops: Kustom Kreme, Scrapers and now Rolled 304.

Located in the Barboursville Mall, Rolled 304 is in the previous yogurt space and offer a number of specialty ice creams, as well as add-ins.

Clearly, I went with s'mores - marshmallow, Hershey's and graham cracker.

It's a bit of a process as they mix everything together, then spread it out thin enough before scraping it up into rolled pieces of ice cream.

It's a novelty - but also tasty.
