The Pie And The Views Are Both Out Of This World At Gateway Family Restaurant In West Virginia

At the base of Spruce Knob sits an unassuming little restaurant called Gateway Family Restaurant (or just Gateway Restaurant). If you're not paying attention, you might accidentally drive right on past it...but if you take the time to pop in for a visit, you'll realize that you've discovered one of West Virginia's hidden treasures.

Gateway Family Restaurant in Riverton, West Virginia, is nestled in a beautiful valley at the base of Spruce Knob.

Spruce Knob is the highest point in the state and a popular hiking destination.

As you might imagine, just the view from the front porch (which you can enjoy from the comfort of an old fashioned wooden rocker) merits a trip to Gateway.

But a good meal can make a good view even better... and Gateway's delicious, homecooked food does just that.

They are open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and offer a full range of American-style favorites.

How can you top a great meal and a gorgeous view? With an out-of-this-world dessert.

And at Gateway, that means pie.

Patrons say that Gateway Restaurant's homemade pies are the best they've ever eaten.

You can try just a slice or order a whole pie to go.

Gateway Restaurant truly is the gateway to some of the best food and the most beautiful destinations in all of West Virginia.

It's just minutes from Spruce Knob, Nelson Rocks, Seneca Rocks, and Seneca Caverns.

So what are you waiting for? Head on up to Riverton for a meal you won't regret.
