The name "The World's End Restaurant" creates intrigue.

What it actually means is it serves a variety of all sorts of cuisines from across the world.



It ranges from curries and sushi and Thai to Vietnamese and Chinese.


The restaurant space reflects the eclectic menu. There are goods for sale, as well as more thrift store items on a pay-as-you-can scale.

The restaurant is primarily take-out.

So I sat at one of the tables and thumbed through a menu, as well as read over the daily specials.

I wanted to try a few different things. so I flipped around.

Ultimately I went with a crab & cheese roll.

And, I got their "VooDoo pasta" special.

So after chatting with folks while my meal cooked, I was handed my bag of deliciousness and headed on my way back to town.

I even got jumbo shrimp with my pasta, because that makes everything better!

Both were tasty and unique to have this combo.

What have you ordered here?

It just so happens I got lucky.

Stone Tower Brews in Buckhannon has been in the works for some time, and I just happened to be driving through the area on the day they opened.



Stone Tower Brews is a collaboration from the owners of Fairmont's Joe N' Throw, a restaurant/pottery studio, and Stone Tower Joe, which is a locally roasted coffee company.

The shop serves coffee, beer and some food too!


On this day, I went for coffee only.

Their specialties on the board caught my eye. S'mores is also a favorite, but the ice lavender vanilla just sounded good!

Have you been? What have you gotten so far?

And, afterward, I took a little mini hike to Bickle Knob Observation Tower.

Perfect fuel!




What will you order?

It's ramparoni roll season (at least at the time of this writing in April)! And I'm trying all of them that I can. Here's one from Fish Hawk Acres. It had like peppers in addition to the ramps!

Ramp season is special for a number of reasons, but especially one: RAMPARONI ROLLS.



That's right: pepperoni rolls with ramps. There are a few spots around the state that add ramps to this bakery special, and I've been slowly making my way to all of them.



The Donut Shop in Buckhannon, known for pioneering the ground pepperoni movement, simply signals the beginning of the season with a sign on their board that says "ramparoni rolls."



They serve four different kinds of ramparoni rolls: a regular pepperoni roll with ramps, a hot pepper cheese pepperoni roll with ramps, a mozzarella cheese pepperoni roll with ramps, and an American cheese pepperoni roll with ramps. Above is a regular with ramps baked right in.



For the rolls with cheese, the side is split open and hunks of cheese are added in. Above and below are the hot pepper cheese ramparoni roll.



Something about the spice of the pepperoni and the garlicky onion is a beautiful combo.



Here's a pepperoni roll split with mozzarella cheese added.



And, finally, here's the one split open with slices of thick American cheese.

Brake's Dairy King in Buckhannon combines two of my favorites: hot dogs and ice cream.



Fortunately, I caught this small restaurant as I was heading out of town. It's located along a strip with a few other businesses.



Their signature ice cream, much like DQ's Blizzards, are called Razzles here. And they have a few different flavors.



S'mores Razzle. I feel like graham cracker is the most underrated ice cream ingredient.

The West Virginia hot dog, complete with chili, slaw, mustard and onions. It's on a New England Style bun - which is not sanctioned by those at the WVHD Blog - but it sure does taste good.

Have you been?

The Social Bar & Grilled Cheese is a bar in Buckhannon that doubles as a grilled cheeserie.



This small space serves up a handful of creative grilled cheese sandwiches, like a caprese, pizza, pork rib bbq and funky monkey (with peanut butter, nutella, honey and marshmallow)



The woman working said the jalapeno popper is the most popular. Sold!

This alternative coffee shop features local coffee from Mountain Roaster, with some cool things for sale, a clothes closet and a pay-what-you-can model.

Sweet-A-Licious, an ice cream and coffee stop in Buckhannon, also happened to have a baked potato bar which made for a nice lunch.
