Smoothie King is a chain, but only has two locations in West Virginia: Morgantown and now Huntington.
Whether you're interested in energy or weight loss or flavor, there's a variety of smoothies to enjoy. I liked the "Kindness in a Cup," which had Strawberries, Bananas, Mangoes, Apple Pineapple Juice Blend, Turbinado, Dairy Whey Blend. It is sweet but light and oh so tasty. Pick-up took a few minutes but the result was worth it.
Scaffidi's Restaurant and Tavern is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Steubenville, Ohio, specializing in foods with an Italian flare.
I found them on DoorDash and placed an order for me & my parents. I had Italian wedding soup and some fried zucchini planks. I liked the soup. Not bad. I would've liked the zucchini a bit thicker. But most importantly - I was able to enjoy this meal with my parents. Peep my dad in the background; he just recently passed and I am missing him dearly.
The Clay Center has a new little cafe called Curiosity Cafe that offers some grab-and-go items.
The regular menu has sandwiches, salads, snacks and drinks. Plus pretzels, nachos, tater tots, chicken tenders, pizza and more.
I went with their West Virginia special, which included Mountain Dew and pepperoni rolls from Rolling in the South. Snack size with slices of pepperoni - not too full, but a good portable bite.
Mt Top Convenience in Thomas is known for gas, soda and having some of the best pepperoni rolls in the state.
While the store offers traditional convenience store essentials, its largest draw may be the homecooking.
From burgers and meatball subs to General Tso's Chicken and surf & turf, the store stays churning out tasty meals. The pepperoni rolls are no exception.
They offer a variety: bacon & cheddar, American cheese & mustard, sauce & jalapeno... Some really interesting combos here! I tried every single one in the case over the course of a weekend, and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. I appreciate the creative liberties. They've taken here, and it's fun to taste new takes on the pepperoni roll. The sauce with jalapeños especially was a nice play on both texture and spice.
