Hello! I was born and raised in Toronto, lived in Miami for a decade, attended the Miami International University of Art & Design, and have resided in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, for the past 15+ years. I enjoy traveling all over the United States, Canada, and Europe - though I have a great appreciation and love for the southeastern parts of the US in particular. My past expertise lay in hospitality in the restaurant and retail world. Aside from writing, I now run an Airbnb in my home and sling vintage, so I'd like to think this all helps me with what it takes to find the best restaurants, lodging, and fun things to do and see in your state. I am an avid reader, love exploring the arts, and discovering the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Nice to meet you!
Located at the intersection of routes 84 and 92 is where you’ll find Dean’s Den on Frost Road in West Virginia. This roadside gem is a convenience store and restaurant serving upscale homestyle fast food. Dean’s Den is off the beaten path, but find out why we think it is worth the trek and has the best fast food in West Virginia.
Drive too fast, and you may miss it, pull up to the modest white building, make your way inside, and let the food do the talking.
Locals and tourists driving through love the burgers. From the Mushroom Swiss Burger and Crab Cake Burger to the Bacon Cheeseburger, you see here. There's something for everyone, and don't forget to add a side of crinkle-cut fries. You can also make any burger vegan by substituting it for a Vegan Impossible Burger patty.
The sandwiches are also a good choice. May we suggest the Pastrami & Swiss? This sandwich is made with house-made brisket pastrami, swiss, and sauerkraut on toasted marble rye with house-made Thousand Island dressing. Yum!
If you're with a group, try the pizzas. Choose the size and toppings, or go with a special like the homemade Spinach Artichoke Dip pizza. For an additional cost, you can also make the crust gluten-free.
Dean's Den calls itself upscale fast food, and that is reflected in its entrees. Enjoy plates like Shrimp Scampi, Filet Mignon, or Ribeye Steak; these entrees are more than just fast food. Dishes cooked to perfection with delicious sides like baked potato and fresh green beans.
Are you more of a morning person, no worries, Dean's Den has breakfast options too, like this homemade bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit with a side of hashbrowns.
If their extensive mainstay options aren't enough, the restaurant always has rotating specials to keep things fresh. The spicy dry-rubbed smoked baby back ribs with its signature sweet BBQ sauce are a favorite every time it's on the menu. This special comes with a crunchy broccoli salad, BBQ baked beans, and brown sugar cornbread. Come hungry because you will definitely leave full.
If you’re visiting Snowshoe or Seneca State Forest, don’t miss the opportunity to go a little out of the way and stop by Dean’s Den for a bite, you will not regret it.
