The newest establishment to begin brewing their own beer is in Walton - Roane County.

Walton Mountain Brewing Company has been operating as a bar and restaurant for some time. But, recently, they received their own license to begin brewing.

They're located next to a hardware store/deli that has a little bit of everything. Tom and I actually walked through here to get to the brewery (though it has its own entrance).

They had just opened, and we were waiting for 1 p.m. on this Sunday to roll around so we could get our hands on a craft beer.


The space has pool tables, TVs and lots of taxidermy animals. So, we watched some TV and put in our food orders first.

The menu is pretty big: burgers, pizza, fried appetizers, bbq, hot dogs and more.

I went for a cheeseburger with a side salad.

And Tom got the pulled pork.

At the time of this writing, they had just one beer on tap: Gusher Blonde Ale. Mm!


And, apparently they do some fire pits because look at these cute s'more kits!

Some time ago, I saw a page named "The Come Thru Kitchen" pop up on Facebook.



After asking a few friends if they had ever been there, I discovered it's a new pop-up that didn't have an official location.



Essentially, it's available at the kitchen of the owner, and you can keep an eye on Facebook to see what they're serving that day.



The Come Thru Kitchen is aptly name - literally come through for a bite.

But, I saw recently they did a vendor fair where they served from the kitchen. This seemed like the perfect option since I don't know the owners and thought it might be strange rolling up to their house.

They served up buffalo chicken dip, fried fish sandwiches, lasagna, and Italian meatballs with cheese. Sides included macaroni & cheese, candied yams, greens and more. Plus desserts like banana pudding.

Soul food is my favorite, and I haven't had sweet macaroni and cheese since the time I judged a cookoff - and I missed it so!

I've been to Foam at the Dome before - the first year, actually. This year marked the third annual festival. It was super hot, but fun as always. And check out these eggrolls from Eggs Will Roll. 

Barista's Cafe and Pub is a unique coffee shop in downtown New Martinsville that boasts bold color, tasty java and a relaxing environment.

The decor is a mash-up of local art, eclectic seating and neat gifts.

The drinks include espresso, coffee, tea and smoothies. Food items for lunch & dinner include sandwiches, soups and salads. On weekends, there's pizza.


I ordered the Creme de Caramel, which says it's the best-selling specialty drink. It has white mocha, caramel and vanilla.

For breakfast, they bagels available. I ordered an asiago bagel and cream cheese.

One brand new coffee shop, Quantum Bean Coffee, has opened up in the South Park/Greenmont neighborhood of Morgantown.

These folks have been producing coffee for some time now, but their shop is new.

I ordered an Americano with a shot of caramel.
