Fairways

We meet some friends at Fairways to watch a WVU Basketball game on a Saturday afternoon. We were very surprised with this little restaurant /​bar. Great food; the salads and appetizers were excellent. Everything was very fresh. Maybe the best Gyro I’ve ever had. Hummus was very good as well. Lots of other options on the Menu i’d like to try. Good wine list and awesome selections on tap. The staff and owner were all very nice and attentive. We will be going back!

This place is refreshing to go to as opposed to the other hole in the walls in the valley, but there are a few setbacks. Inside the bar it is clean and very nice, however it sits right next to a eyesore gas station (also the owners). Second, the menu does offer some variety, however most of the appetizers seem to be microwaved, I believed the food is cooked next door in the gas station so that just goes without saying. Lastly, the price. Wow. I realize it caters to a more high end class, but when you order 1 beer for about $ 4.50 and then you can walk literally 50 ft to the gas station next door and get a 6 pack for $ 6.00, it is just a little odd. That’s just one one of the many things on the menu that is overpriced, I honestly haven’t felt too comfortable about any purchase I have made there. All in all, I probably won’t go back unless one of my friends chooses to go there, it definitely won’t be my first choice. Friendly staff though, and the sangria is good, I believe the owner mixes it there himself (in the gas station) and also over priced.

Better than the 19^th Hole
This place has been getting great word of mouth for the last month. Living in Kanawha County I don’t come to the valley that often, but a Saturday cross country meet had the whole family hungry for lunch.
This place is attached to a gas station but has good signage so you shouldn’t miss it. It is a small dining area with about 15 tables and seating at a well appointed bar. Outdoor seating adds even more room. The interior is intimate. The wood work and décor is well thought out.
Even though the bar seems to steal the show with 16 beers on tap and even more selection in bottles you will not be disappointed by the menu. Don’t worry you winos there is several house vines by the glass, too. I had the Red Clay IPA from Sunken City Brewery. Very Nice…(in my best Borat voice)
The menu has strong mediterranean influences with hummus, Greek salads, gyros, and shawarma. There are many sandwiches and burgers to choose from along with flatbreads and bar snacks. Special note should be made that there is a great kids menu and vegetarians are not forgotten with a veggie gyro on the menu.
I had the gyro with there ½# of fries. The gyro comes with banana peppers which may be the only reason for a loss of a star. The shoe string fries are good but not my preference. My wife got the large Greek salad which well is large. It was served with soft pita wedges.
We also had a humus appetizer. It was more of the Greek style than the middle eastern style. Both are good in my opinion.
I really would give this place 4.5 stars if I could. The food is good and the service was great. You should eat here soon. Just say no the chain food. The valley doesn’t need another Five Guys.

Wow! This place is awesome! Food was wonderful, place looks great, atmosphere was perfect. Casual but classy. Awesome gyros!
