Tonight’s featured supper is incredible mix of flavor, creaminess, and textures. Our Coal Miner’s Spaghetti is a creamy carbonara built on 740 Pasta Project spaghetti, loaded with thick-cut Jacob & Sons bacon and real parmesan, finished with toasted garlic bread.

Let's eat!

Tonight’s featured supper is the gold standard of Ruebens. This isn’t just another Reuben. This is the one you compare all the others to.

House-smoked pastrami piled high, tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss, and just the right hit of Thousand Island dressing pressed between thick slices of grilled Mancini’s rye bread until perfectly crisp.

Salty, smoky, tangy, buttery revelations with every bite.

Good people. Good morning. Good choice.

Not all burgers are built the same. At Vagabond Kitchen, we craft burgers that taste as if someone cared enough to make them right. No frozen shortcuts. No factory flavor. Just handcrafted burgers rooted in Appalachian ingredients, local farms, and the belief that the best burger in the state should come from the people and places around us.

It doesn’t get more West Virginian than tonight’s featured supper! Maybe you’ve heard of it? Our ‘Just Dew It’ Chicken has a supremely perfect spring and summer flavor profile.

This ain’t just grilled chicken; it’s mountain-made comfort worth slowing down for: Citrus and Mountain Dew-marinated chicken kissed by the fire, laid over shaved Brussels sprout slaw and strawberry barley salad, then finished with a rich housecrafted bourbon BBQ sauce that tastes like an Appalachian summer evening.

Don’t forget that this bad boy is still available! The hype is real! How could you say no to our grilled steak burger from Jacob and Sons Meats, atop our housemade garlic aioli, crispy thick-cut hickory bacon, topped with sharp cheddar, our house-smoked pulled pork, crispy onion rings, and our signature bourbon BBQ sauce, on a butter-toasted Mancini's Bakery bun. Served with a fresh Pittsburgh Pickle Co. pickle and our fresh cut, twice-fried fries with fry sauce?
