North End Tavern & Brewery
Oldest Brewery in West Virginia
A Parkersburg tradition since 1899 and proudly the oldest brewery in West Virginia. This fun, casual North End brewpub crafts its own microbrews and is known for some of the area's best burgers and sandwiches — with German specialty items and unusual choices beyond the usual bar fare. Two eat for around $16.
JR's Donut Castle
Castle-Themed Doughnut Legend
A castle-themed Parkersburg institution and one half of the city's great doughnut debate. Come for glazed doughnuts, pepperoni rolls, custom cakes and the local-favorite 'Yum-Yums' — giant glazed knots soaked in seven layers of butter. A dozen donuts and cookies runs under $15. Two eat for around $10.
McHappy's Donuts & Bake Shoppe
The Rival Doughnut Shop
The other half of Parkersburg's beloved doughnut rivalry. Declaring whether you're Team JR's or Team McHappy's is a local rite of passage — so grab a box here and judge for yourself. Two eat for around $10.
Chams Lebanese Cuisine
Authentic Lebanese Downtown
A warm, family-run downtown gem on the West Virginia culinary trail, serving freshly made Lebanese food. Even hummus skeptics tend to leave converted — add falafel and grape leaves and two eat beautifully for cheap. Two eat for around $16.
Parkersburg Brewing Co.
Downtown Brewery, 1864 Heritage
A downtown brewery reviving Parkersburg's brewing heritage, which dates to 1864. Revived in 2016 by homebrewers, it pours craft beers like the Cellblock 304 honey brown and Citrus Tsunami IPA alongside pretzels and shareable bites. Two eat for around $16.
Southern Craft Restaurant & Bar
Chef-Driven Plates
A chef-driven spot locals say is worth the drive, plating Cajun and seafood with real skill — red snapper, brown-butter sea bass — and a famous bread pudding made with glazed doughnuts. Share a couple of plates and two stay near budget. Two eat for around $20.

Mary B's Diner
Classic Breakfast Diner

💡 Pro tip: All deals are community-verified. We linked official menus only where we could confirm them, so most spots here are map-only. Settle the great debate: grab a box from JR's (get the Yum-Yums) and one from McHappy's and run your own taste test for under $20. For dinner, North End Tavern pairs a house microbrew with a burger that punches well above the price. 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.
