88 Lounge — Restaurant in Buckhannon

I ordered the salmon because my mom had raved about it, but they were out. This was a Thursday night at 9. I ordered the largest steak so i could have leftovers. The steak was cooked as i ordered, rare but warm in the middle, but I expected a better cut for the price. It should have melted in my mouth for almost $30. That said, the broccoli was perfect, not mushy at all, and the zucchini and yellow squash sauted with onion was excellent. My husband's crab cakes were so full of crabmeat that he actually said so, unusual for him. Small things like no salt and pepper on the table and an empty keg of a local draft beer we really wanted to try, in addition to the unavailability of the salmon made a negative impression. Also, the place was almost empty yet we were seated right next to the only other occupied table, under a very loud speaker. I did not get the impression that the waiter was pleased with our arrival either. All said, i would go back, but lower my...

This place is a hit or miss. I worked here for a few years and I can say its very inconsistent. I will say this though, they had the best waiting staff out of anywhere I've been. They always made you feel welcomed and were nice. The food however, is overpriced and quality has dropped significantly over the past year or so. The food is rarely "fresh" as advertised. Most of it is pre cooked then microwaved, then replated so your plate isnt hot from being in the microwave. I can tell you most of the kitchen staff doesnt really care about the quality. I've seen one of the " higher up" chefs drop a flat iron steak on the ground while being plated, rinsed off then thrown back under the broiler for a few to dry it off then served. We were " too busy to throw a new steak on the broiler." Eggs were always burnt and dry. I honestly think I was one of the only ones in the kitchen who actually cared. The place has good potential, but it needs a...

We found this place by pure luck. From the outside you would never know the quality of food inside. It just looks like a brick hotel building when you drive up. The restaurant is actually inside on the first floor.

Once inside, the happy times begin. Our waitress Marissa was a delight and was very knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Make sure you get the Stinky Fries for an appetizer. You will thank me.

My son and I had the Lasagna Bolognese which was fantastic. My wife had the Chicken Parm and she loved it. For dessert we all had something different. I had the Pecan Sticky Bun and they kindly added a scoop of ice cream on the side for me.

I HIGHLY recommend this place and have every intention of returning there the next time we visit Buchannon.

For point of reference, our three meals including drinks, appetizer and desserts was just over $70. Very affordable,...
