Chetty's Pub is located in Adventures on the Gorge. One of these days, I want to go back there and do the actual adventures instead of just the food.
The restaurant has typical pub fare, and the bartender said the burgers are quite popular. I went for the Chetty's Classic Burger, which is an 8 oz. burger chargrilled, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. It includes a side of fries.
The interior is totally covered in wood ala a lodge, and the building overlooks the gorge. It's a pretty cool view.
The burger is impressive. It's huge, towering and filled with toppings. It's nearly impossible to eat in its current state, so I used my knife and fork to cut it into pieces. I was not anticipating all the pickles on the burger - which were weird. Not a great pickle. A weird overly briney one. But I loved the rest of the burger. The bun was toasted, the lettuce and tomato fresh, and the patty tasty. Overall, pretty good.
I finally made it to the last Custard Stand! I made the trip to Webster Springs, the flagship location.
I ordered a chili dog with slaw, mustard and onions, as well as a chocolate shake for good measure.
I love the hot dogs from this place. I think the slaw is great, the chili is super tasty, and it all combines together to make for a delicious bite.
I only wish there was a closer one to Morgantown.
The chocolate shake is also delicious. It's hard to mess up a chocolate shake, but I always love the ice cream from this place. Good hot dogs and good ice cream - doesn't get much better than that.
Blue Moon Cafe is a sweet little cafe with a sprawling outdoor seating area. The menu features sandwiches, salads, quiche, soups and desserts.
I immediately started looking at the sandwiches, and there are so many - and lots of vegan options, as well. Some of the ones I was deciding between are:
The Pilgrim | $9
maple lawn free range smoked turkey breast oven heated with brie on a ciabatta roll & topped with our cranberry aioli
The Gobbler. | $9
local free range turkey, bacon, provolone and Russian dressing heated on a kaiser roll
The Apple-acian | $8
baked granny smith apple, brie cheese, red onion and dijon mustard on ciabatta bread
Meatball Hoagie | $9
succulent meatballs and marina baked in our oven with mozzarella on a baguette
Triple B | $10
our chubby with brie, bacon, French fried onions, lettuce, tomato, & mayo with fries (ADD ON)
Chicken breast | $3 Smoked Turkey | $ 3 Avocado | $2
I ultimately went with The Pilgrim. And a side of macaroni and cheese. :)
Everything about this was delicious. The ciabatta was fresh and had a perfect crunch to the outside, the brie was melting all over turkey breast, and the cranberry aioli added the touch of sweetness I needed.
The macaroni and cheese was creamy, cheesy and crunchy with the french-fried onions on top. Perfect, perfect lunch.
Lost Dog Coffee is weird. In a college-kid-going-through-growing-pains way. It's a hangout for artists, hippies, rockers and college students. There are political statements - possibly offensive - all over the walls, and odd little chachkies cluttering up the space.
But they know their coffee and tea.
I ordered their Sinderella's Supper, which was just described as ice caramel heaven. I'll take it. I don't even know what was in it, but I know it was delicious, and I ingested more caffeine from that drink than I typically do in an entire month.
It's a fancy little thing, and I'm not sure why they don't have iced to-go cups, but I ended up drinking it like this for our ride back to Morgantown.
I like this place. I think there's a certain group that it would turn off, and I don't think they care one bit. Which makes me like it even more.
As soon as I got back from New York, I had to turn around for a work assignment and head to Shepherdstown. I actually love traveling for work - and especially to cute cities in West Virginia that have good food!
I was doing a story on the farmers market, and needed to find a drink/restroom nearby. Fortunately, the Sweet Shop Bakery is just around the corner. Mmm pastries!
I got a blueberry muffin and a bottled shirley temple. The muffin was good - a little dense. Could have been fluffier. But I loved the actual blueberries and the nice atmosphere. Overall, a nice little pick-me-up and a cute shop!
