Melanie's Family Restaurant

Home made food hot roast beef and the big mel without anything on it. And the place is cash only.

Bomb homemade pancakes made from scratch. I wish I was here for buckwheat season, because I'm sure those are phenomenal as well. I was traveling from Thomas to Morgantown, and I'm very lucky to have found this little gem, it's what I love about the open road! Cash only, but that just adds to the charm. I'll be back for sure!

Old style small restaurant with fenomenal home made food. The prices are surprisingly low comparing to delicious food. Great portions, amazing greavy, large choice of fresh salad: tomatoes, onion, pickles, carrotes etc. If you like farmers kitchen, you will enjoy the way we did.

This little diner has an amazing appeal and atmosphere. It's right by the state park. It's very down to earth with great local staff that work incredibly hard and are attentive to your needs. REMINDER THEY ONLY TAKE CASH OR CHECK. However I have been told there is a place down the road with an ATM. Please note that when we went yesterday to my knowledge there was only one waitress who did her very best to seat everyone, take orders, etc. as efficiently as humanly possible. Also if you're reading this please be kind to your wait staff or anyone in the food industry. Back on topic of the food, my brother got the brunch burger which was amazing and very filling. Do note their portions are generous, as I could not finish my western omelette which was stuffed full of goodness and the size of half the plate. The price are incredibly reasonable considering food costs, service, and portions. The thing I truly love is that they support other local small businesses. They were selling tumblers out of the case by the register, as well as a local photographers work on the wall. Otherwise they were phenomenal 11/10 would eat there again! And will continue recommending it!

We stopped while on our way to a weekend get away in the mountains and the food was so good we stopped on the way back as well. It seems very much a community dining spot, but we were treated very kindly by the staff even if we were tourists. I had the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had and I've had it from south west WV to SW PA. The sweet tea was spot on. For future trips to this part of the state I will make sure to work Melanie's into our route.

This joint is truly awesome. You would never know where it is unless someone pointed it out. But it is well worth the discovery! Roast beef with gravy over homemade bread and mashed potatoes was out of this world and huge portions! Definitely will go back when I'm in that neck of the woods

It was a cute little place. The prices were affordable and the portions were more than enough. The food was amazing! I wasn't expecting all of that for a little place with barely anything around. They'd be my pick if I ever had to return to that part of West Virginia.

My wife and I eat here occasionally. We have NEVER had a bad meal nor less than pleasant service! This gem, off the beaten path, hands down puts all the lake restaurants to shame. Can't wait to visit again.
