There’s nothing like a greasy spoon to make you think of simpler times. Small town diners, in particular, have a kind of magic that seems to make them exist outside of the normal passage of time. As we well know, our home state is full of small towns and small town diners, and today we’re going to explore one in particular where the menu seems straight out of yesteryear—because it is.

An unsuspecting little diner sits humbly in the small town of Moundsville. It might look like any old greasy spoon, but Bob’s Lunch has separated itself from the rest by persisting through the trials of 7 decades. Bob’s Lunch has been in operation since 1947. That’s right—it’s over 70-years-old and still serving up the same kind of simple, absolutely delicious food.

Bob’s Lunch began with two core ideas: make the best food around, and make your customers feel like family. And that’s how they have persisted for all of this time. The menu? It’s full of diner favorites, old and new. You can get a hearty breakfast . . .
