This tall window-ed, circular building is dishing out coffee in Bluefield. And, it's just the coolest.

The Coffee Corner is a beautiful space that serves up drinks and snacks in southern West Virginia.

They have frappes - my new weakness - so I ordered a caramel one and a blueberry scone.

I was sad they hadn't made pepperoni rolls for the day yet. But she heated up the scone, and it was perfect with my frozen drink.

This spot is also perfect for car-watching, because they drive right past this cafe constantly.

These are my kind of places.

The Big Wheel is a local favorite restaurant in Alderson.

With wooden beams and wheel accents, it has a country feel and homey vibe.

The menu has lots of home-cooked favorites, as well as a salad bar.

I ordered the chicken finger dinner, which came with one trip to the salad bar, a side of baked potato and roll.

The salad bar had quite a good bit of options! You don't see too many of these at local restaurants.

I like my salads with a little lettuce and a lot of tomatoes and croutons.


What's your favorite thing here?

The restaurant with the giant corrugated hot dog sign has been on my wish list ever since I saw the first photo of it.

This spot pokes a bit of fun at itself, which I like. I ordered a single dog with chili, slaw, mustard and onions. That's like a mix of Stuart's Dawg and River Dawg.

The bathroom is ... interesting.

Have you had a hot dog from here? Chili is different from any others I've had.

I absolutely love Lewisburg and all its cute little shops and restaurants.

Corn + Flour is a new bakery since the last time I was in the area.

They have a variety of bagel sandwiches and prepared salads.

On this day, I was feeling the latter and got a combination of broccoli salad, pasta salad and buffalo chicken salad. Yum!

And, finished it off with an oatmeal cookie.

What's your favorite thing to order here?

A year or two ago, I had hardly visited anywhere in Parkersburg. Now, I'm quickly making my way through all of the restaurants.

The Corner Cafe has a cool entrance that echos the car motif it's just across the lot from.

The menu has standard sandwiches, dinner specials and salads.

I went for a West Virginia cheesesteak with sauteed green peppers, onions, mushrooms, steak, and provolone cheese. They were out of hoagie buns but put it on texas toaste for me.

They served one to me, which ended up being someone else's order, but then once I got mine, I dug in. Tasty!
