Catfish fillet - Mountain View Diner
Breaded and fried. Served with soup, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cole slaw. $12.95
Mountain View Diner, Charles Town WV

Wow, this was SO much food! I actually couldn’t believe how much food came out with my one order. And there were 4 pieces of fried catfish on my plate! It’s no wonder why the other diners in the restaurant were on the heavier side… The food was actually very tasty and well cooked, but it was more than enough for one person. I tried eating as much as could but ended up leaving quite a bit on my plate. This place is definitely a good home-cookin’ type of restaurant though.

Little cheeseburger – Five Guys

Little cheeseburger - Five Guys
“All the way”, no mustard and with jalapeño peppers and green peppers. $4.69
Five Guys, Ranson WV

This burger was good, but I prefer In-N-Out. Yes I’m from the west coast, but this burger wasn’t as juicy and flavorful as an In-N-Out burger. And we actually have Five Guys on the west coast now so the comparison is warranted.

French fries - Five Guys
French fries. Regular $3.39
Definitely not better than In-N-Out.

Brussels sprouts salad - Dish
Toasted walnuts, bleu cheese, roasted shallot puree, apple gastrique. $9
Dish, Charles Town WV

I actually liked this salad. It was simple and delicious, but maybe a little too sweet. The brussels sprouts were nice and firm, but they need a little more finesse with their overall flavors.

Margarita cocktail - Dish
Margarita. $5
Also too sweet!
