Prior to this location, they had a spot in Winfield, which has also closed.
The menu was fairly unchanged from one location to the other: beef brisket sandwiches, brisket Philly sandwiches and pulled pork BBQ sandwiches, plus sides like mac & cheese.
It was a generous portion of pulled pork sandwich that I received, as well as the macaroni and cheese. The barbecue sauce is flavorful - thick and tangy. Though the pork was a bit fattyand began to lean toward the greasy side.
While the food was average, the service left more to be desired. I had placed an online order, which wasn't even started by the time I arrived and it was supposed to have been finished then. The cook had been in the back playing on their phone while wearing gloves and then didn't change the gloves before preparing my food. Something that was hard for me to swallow.

Located at 1242 Washington Ave in Huntington, West Virginia, Asian Express is a casual Asian fusion restaurant offering dine-in, take-out and delivery.

The menu spans familiar favorites—from hibachi and stir-fries to sushi rolls and curries — alongside burger and hot dog options.

I ordered a chicken katsu bento box, which comes with a California roll, dumplings and an orange. The chicken is crispy and golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a tangy katsu sauce that adds some sweetness. The California roll is fresh and simple, while the dumplings bring a savory, steamed contrast, and the orange slice at the end offers a bright, refreshing finish.

The Dragon Ball roll is wrapped in fresh avocado, giving it a smooth, round texture. The avocado adds richness to each bite and pairs well with the shrimp and spicy crab inside. Finished with a light drizzle of eel sauce, it’s a flavorful.

It appears the restaurant may have since closed - but unclear. Have you been?

Starvin' Arvin's is a restaurant on the West End of Huntington that features comfort food in a fast environment.

Think spaghetti with meat sauce, pot roast with vegetables, open faced roast beef sandwich -- all at a place with a pick-up window. Is this a dream?

I enjoyed chicken & dumplings - hand-pulled rotisserie chicken immersed in a rich, savory chicken gravy with fluffy dumplings for a comforting, homestyle meal. Soul satisfying.

Mac & cheese - this was okay. A little bland for me. Give me some more flavor.

Meatloaf - a classic blend of seasoned ground beef and pork, baked to a savory finish and topped with a sweet and tangy glaze. Nostalgic favorite for me.

All washed down with a fresh strawberry lemonade, which hit the spot. Delicious.

The Grill on Third is a steakhouse in Huntington that opened in the last year or so.

They offer brunch, soups, salads, handhelds, pasta, chicken, seafood and, of course, steak.

I started with the "Cremini-Boursin Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms" basted in herb-garlic butter and topped with toasted panko breadcrumbs. Give me a juicy mushroom stuffed with cheese any day.

Next was Steak Diane - prime angus sirloin medallions with brandy cream reduction, cremini mushrooms, caramlized onions and served with brussel sprouts with bacon, caramelized onions and balsamic reduction. Plus a side of fresb herb creamy risotto with shaved parmesan. Because it was a to-go order, it's not the most beautiful presentation. But it was very flavorful.

I visited Stellar Noodle Co. in their final days open in Huntington.

The turquoise shaded building was only one of a few ramen shops in the area, so I wanted to be sure to check it out.

I ordered the Tonkotsu - Char Siu Pork. Traditional Pork Bone Broth. Ramen. Carrot. Bean Sprout. Cabbage. Ajitsuke Egg. Fish Cake. Nori. Scallion. My favorite part of this was the egg because it had so much flavor. I wish the noodles were a bit softer and absorbed some of that broth.

I also had the belly bao - which had those nice pillowy buns and thick pieces of pork belly. Decent pork flavor. I appreciated the fresh cabbage and sauce on top.
