Wood Iron Eatery

I liked this place a lot. Super friendly staff and good food, just expensive for the area. Stuffed full of college-aged folks, but you had a good mix of older families in there too. I got the Green Bowl, and it wasn’t ingenerous in size (and of course, it tasted great), but one would expect some sort of grain to be included for $11 - maybe quinoa or bulgar or something like that. Ah well - salads are expensive because they sour quickly, I get it. Other than that, expect to wait in line for 5-10 minutes to order (maybe even out the door), but to have your food delivered in a fairly quick manner - the cooks and baristas really are pumping out orders as best they can. You’ll have drip coffee before the end of your order, lattes soon after, food about 7-10 minutes after that. The gist of this place? Good food served by very friendly staff to younger folk who expect higher prices because they’ve ordering more perishable food (such as avocado toast) anyways. Side note: Bacon is candied (i.e baked with sugar), so if you can only stand crispy bacon, just ask for it off instead of bothering the cashier for two minutes about deep frying it, like the Karen-in-making did in front me. Bless the employee who had to deal with that…

Cute little place near New River Gorge National Park. The fried chicken sandwich meal was great. My wife loved her burger. The rest of the party we were with enjoyed their coffee and breakfast food. Keep a backup seating plan in mind when ordering on weekend mornings. It gets packed. Food is worth it, even if you have to take it to go!
