Of you grew up in West Virginia, then you know it’s pretty common to drive 25 or 30 miles to eat at a restaurant, even if that eatery is located in the middle of nowhere. If the food is good, it’s worth the trip! One such restaurant is located in the sleepy bedroom community known as Ellenboro.

Ellenboro is a small town of approximately 350 residents and is located on Route 50, considered one of the loneliest roads in the state.

Just off of Route 50, on South Main Street in Ellenboro, is a log cabin restaurant that serves up delectable home-cooked food all day long.

From pork chops to meat loaf and delicious fried chicken dinners (and more!), Dodd’s Log Cabin Grille cooks it up like mom used to make. Daily specials feature tasty delights, like the lasagna shown below.

And their flavorful breakfast selections are available all day long because some days you just want breakfast for dinner (am I right?). Get Dodd’s Biscuit and Gravy if you’re up for a huge plate of goodness.

Whether you’re ordering up a basket of chicken strips, a signature salad with the works, or a dinner platter, add on a side of french fries (you can thank us later…), they’re delicious.

Don’t worry if you’ve eaten too much to enjoy dessert… you can always bring it home in a to-go box.
