"The wife and I found ourselves in Ronceverte, wv just in time for the state fair. We were looking for some good food away from the fair crowd that swarmed everywhere. Found Stuart’s on google and decided heck let’s give it a try. We pull in after a short scenic drive and it looks interesting so we went on it. The place was just about empty except a few older guys drinking at the bar. This should have been clue one. The waitress came to the table and got our drinks and told us about the food and the menu. We ordered some chicken legs and the bbq sampler. The waitress then told us it was open mic and karaoke night and if we wanted to set out on the patio to watch we could, so we moved outside. For an hour we had to listen to some tone deaf reformed druggie try to sing his own songs that all sounded alike and no one could understand a thing he said. Then praise the lord the food showed up finally I thought. The brisket was charred black and dry as the dessert. The pulled pork smelled rancid. The chicken legs were sorta foul smelling. It was like the food had been setting for days out in the open and they served it anyway. Not sure why it took so long as there was nothing that came to the table that had been freshly cooked except a small plate of frys. In the end those frys turned out to be the highlight of the meal. I am not sure why people rave about this place and the food. Maybe it was an off night for them but I will not return to find out. If your hungry for good food just wave as you pass this place because you will not find it there. Good luck"
