Jim's Steak & Spaghetti House
James Beard America's Classic Since 1938
A true Huntington icon, serving locals since 1938 and honored with a 2019 James Beard America's Classic award. The name promises steak and spaghetti (in three portion sizes), but don't skip the fried haddock fish sandwich with homemade tartar sauce, or a slice of homemade pie. Two eat for around $16.
Frostop Drive-In
Honk-to-Order Root Beer Drive-In
A nostalgic drive-in dating to the 1920s where you literally honk your horn to order and a giant root beer mug spins on the roof. The award-winning root beer comes in frosty mugs, the slaw dogs and chili dogs are the move, and the onion rings get rave reviews. A Huntington rite of passage. Two eat for around $12.
Hillbilly Hot Dogs
DDD Junkyard Legend
A gloriously weird, school-bus-and-junkyard-themed hot dog joint just outside town in Lesage, made famous by Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. Come for the over-the-top creations and the giant 'Homewrecker' challenge dog; stay for the only-in-WV chaos. Two eat for around $14.
Bahnhof WVrsthaus & Biergarten
German Biergarten
A lively German biergarten with more than 30 craft beers on tap and a menu of schnitzels, goulash and inventive house sausages. Start with the oversized barley-malt pretzel (add the beer cheese) and save room for a giant cream puff with daily-rotating flavors. Two eat for around $18.
Fat Patty's
Big Burgers Near Marshall

Schooner's Waterfront Grille
Ohio River Seafood
A seasonal riverfront spot where the draw is fresh seafood and a table overlooking the Ohio River. Homemade dressings, easygoing service and one of the prettiest settings in town — a relaxed, share-friendly meal for two. Two eat for around $18.
Pho U & Mi
Vietnamese
A local go-to for big, fragrant bowls of pho, crisp egg rolls and Vietnamese classics at gentle prices. A warming, satisfying change of pace and one of Huntington's best cheap-eats values. Two eat for around $16.
Black Sheep Burrito & Brews
Burritos & Craft Beer

The Wild Ramp
Indoor Local Farmers Market
A year-round, nonprofit indoor farmers market — one of the best in West Virginia — stocked with local produce, gourmet goods and heat-and-eat meals, with occasional live music. Grab a couple of made-by-locals lunches and eat Appalachian for cheap. Two eat for around $14.
Cicada Books & Coffee
Bookstore & Local Coffee
An independent bookstore paired with locally roasted coffee, light bites and a steady calendar of author signings and board-game nights. A cozy, cheap spot to linger over a coffee and a pastry. Two eat for around $12.
Tudor's Biscuit World
West Virginia Biscuit Icon
You can't do a West Virginia food tour without a Tudor's biscuit. This WV-born institution builds made-to-order biscuit sandwiches — egg, sausage, gravy and more — for one of the cheapest, most filling breakfasts in the state. Two eat for around $10.
💡 Pro tip: All deals are community-verified. We linked official menus only where we could confirm them, so most spots here are map-only. Run the West Virginia "Hot Dog Trail" — slaw is non-negotiable — and pair a Frostop dog with a frosty root beer. The diners, dogs and biscuit spots are the cheapest way to feed two; Schooner's is seasonal. Hours and prices change, so check before a special trip. If something's expired, flag it on our main directory so we can update it.
