Mason Dixon Barbecue Co. is a new restaurant in Moundsville.

I'm really excited to see some new dining options in Moundsville, and I'm especially excited about the play on the name.



My dad actually works in Moundsville, and when I stopped here along my drive to Pittsburgh, I sent him a quick text to see if he may be available for lunch. To my surprise and delight, he was! So he met me here, and we tried a few things on the menu.

Nosh is a new restaurant on the East End that I happened to pass while driving by recently.

It is only open for lunch during the week currently, so plan a quick stop to check it out!

There are a few small tables on the inside, and it's like a sweet mix of elegant and fun inside.

The menu features soups, salads and sandwiches - plus some sweet treats.

I ordered the cranberry turkey croissant with a side of potato salad.

And, wow was that sandwich good! It was much larger than I anticipated, but all those flavors were perfect together.

And my side of potato salad was big, too, and flavorful.

Have you been? What's your favorite so far?

Terry's Turf Club is a quirky restaurant, clad in neon signs, and is a bit of a dive - but with fancy burgers.

This restaurant is usually pretty packed, but we got lucky.

It's been on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, so that surely brings a lot of folks in - including us!

To start off with, there are peanuts on the table for a snack.

As we looked over the menu, I had a tough time figuring out how to make my burger.

There are tons of toppings and cheeses and all kinds of delicious things - but they add up quick!

So I actually kept it simple for my first burger there. I got the burger, topped with swiss cheese and bearnaise sauce.

It is all served on paper plates, which is fine.

And overall, I thought it was a decent burger. Next time I'll splurge for a fancy cheese and topping to go all out.

Nada is a cocktail and drink joint with a beautiful entrance filled with plants and seating. Once I saw this cute place, I knew we had to squeeze it in.

This restaurant was a warm, welcome respite from some of the chilly Cincinnati temperatures. We sat upstairs to warm up and get a nibble.

I ordered the Queso Gringo, which came with smoked gouda + habanero + pico de gallo + black bean purée.

After just a few minutes, we had a hot pile of cheese - perfect to warm any tummy!

This was pretty good - love the little bit of heat - and homemade chips! But is queso ever really bad? Yum!

Prepare yourself for one of the best meals I've EVER had. Seriously.

That's a bold claim considering I spent the entire weekend in Cincinnati eating, so I was never actually hungry at any of these restaurants. But, The Eagle served me a sandwich that I will never forget.

We were in line when they opened so we could get one of the first seats. They tend to have a long line, and we were short on time. But I knew we had to make it here. And, I'm so, so glad we did.

After being seated, I quickly skimmed the menu. They are known for their fried chicken, so I knew I had to get my hands on that. I went for the FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH: fried chicken breast, cole slaw, spicy mayo, house pickles. I also ordered a side of spoonbread.

The sandwich came out with a side of this spicy honey - one of my favorites! - so I already knew this was going to be good.

Good god, if there's one chicken sandwich you have to eat in your lifetime - make it this one. The sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, crunchiness all combined with a touch of acid and a touch of heaven to make for one of the best things I've put in my mouth.

The spoonbread came out a bit late, so I ended up taking most of it to go and eating it on the ride back. It was pretty delicious, but I was still salivating over that chicken sandwich.
