It's no secret that West Virginians love a good meal - especially a good, traditional mountain meal. Soup beans and cornbread, anyone? But while that's public knowledge to just about anyone from the Mountain State, here's something that's less well known: there's an isolated little gas station tucked away along Interstate 77 outside of Beckley that serves up some of the most unexpectedly tasty comfort food in all of West Virginia.
We're talking about The Corner Gas 'n' Grill at the Pax Citgo gas station in West Virginia, just off Exit 54 of I-77 on Paint Creek Road.
This unassuming looking little gas station doesn't even look like a restaurant from the outside. But the locals know all about this hidden gem, and you'll see a steady stream of traffic heading in and out these doors at meal times!
Inside is a small dining room with several tables, or you can choose to call ahead your order and get it to go right at the front counter. The staff at The Corner Gas 'N' Grill will even bring your food to the car for you if you like.
The Corner Gas 'N' Grill serves up regular menu favorites, like the Famous "G" Burger or Philly Steak and Cheese. And then there's the daily special, that's often straight up West Virginia comfort food. Hot dogs, beans and cornbread, Sunday dinner - there's something tasty every day of the week.
In the corner of The Corner Gas 'N' Grill is a little country store, as well, so be sure to check out their selection of gifts and crafts.
And then, with a full tank and a full belly, you can head on your way, up the Paint Creek Scenic Trail or back on I-77.
The Corner Gas 'N' Grill is open every day of the week from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The address is 2179 Paint Creek Road.
