STYX AND STONES Appalachian BBQ Bistro — Restaurant in Morgantown

Second time there and it was completely different from the first time. First time there I was served spare ribs, yesterday I was served much smaller baby back ribs. Wife got brisket sandwich on cornbread and there were legitimately 3 bites of brisket and a bunch of hard crispy crumbles of dried out bark. I got the ribs with my two sides being Mac & cheese and Cole slaw. The Mac & cheese was dry, crusty, and flavorless. The Cole slaw was soggy and very bitter-definitely old tasting. My four little ribs were delicious though . The wife’s sides were Mac & cheese and green beans. Mac cheese was the same as mine and although she liked the green beans she asked about them and we found out they’re canned but it didn’t matter cause she did enjoy them. So overall, she liked her canned green beans and I liked my 4 ribs. The whole real problem here is that when it was time to pay, the lady said the total is $60!!!!!! And we didn’t purchase any drinks. $60 for 3 bites (bite size hunks) of brisket on cornbread waffle, 4 riblets, and 3 terrible sides and one decent canned side of green beans?!?...

The phrase "hidden gem" was made for this place! It's a casual, laid-back southern bbq joint - probably the best in morgantown, but I never would have found it if I wasn't next door getting my windshield repaired. Happiest coincidence ever! The people were so sweet and down to earth. The shop itself screams mom and pop with personality, which I personally love. Next time you're craving bbq, this place is it.

The brisket was tender, and the smoke taste came through amazingly. It was served in a waffle made from cornbread, which was the best waffle or cornbread I've had in literally years.

I had the yams and baked beans, both of which also benefitted from the beautiful smoke taste. The yams had a unique cinnamon brown sugar flavor that complimented the meat...

Alright, the best way I can explain this is when you go to an event and you have food truck food and it tastes like family made it. This is it. I came in here for a breakfast in a whim and I asked “off menu” protein and the guy himself made me an awesome mixed scrambled eggs. Some brisket on the side which was extremely flavorful and a side of his special pepperoni Mac and cheese which was one of those dishes that you take to a party and it’s gone on the first round. It’s that good. Food is like mom/dad/uncle makes at any special event. I’ll...
