Bridge Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in West Virginia

Me and my brother wanted to try this place so we stopped by around 12:30 pm hoping to have a late breakfast only to be informed they stop serving breakfast at 11:00 am, strike 1 and severely disappointing. This is the first time I've ever known this type of establishment not to serve all-day breakfast.

The space itself was very nice, almost cozy with a pleasant ambience. The staff were very nice. Which are the only things preventing this being a 1-star review. The lunch fare was a colossal failure.

I ordered the Carolina BBQ (pull pork BBQ sandwich with coleslaw) and potatoes wedges. The potato wedges were bland and felt like chewing up a mouthful of starch; I ate one, my brother ate one the rest sat untouched. The sandwich had about 7-8 lonely looking shreds of coleslaw on it and the pork was dry and again bland. The bread my sandwich was served on had a stronger flavor than anything contained within. My brother ordered the BLT with loaded rice. He reported "well... you really can't mess up a BLT", but commented the house cured bacon was cut so thick they basically had to burn it to get it crispy. The loaded rice was again a thoroughly disappointing side as it sat mostly untouched (I didn't sample the rice so can offer no comment on flavor).

I made no complaint about the quality, or lack thereof, of my meal at the time because by the time someone came to check on us I was so thoroughly disgusted with my lunch I just wanted to leave and go get something to eat.

I wanted to eat breakfast here because I had been led to believe they had a very good breakfast but after the massive disappointment of lunch I don't know if I want to try again. Even not having eaten any of the breakfast fare I would recommend they start serving breakfast all the way up to 2pm or simply close the restaurant at 11am when...

What an incredible little gem! Went here with my husband and two small children yesterday. The atmosphere was very appealing to the eye and reminded me of trendy places that you may find in Pittsburgh, New York, and other large cities. Something West Virginia has definitely needed! Adorable place with amazing food. We ordered three different meals for breakfast and were incredibly impressed. Presentation and quality of the food was very good. Prices are extremely reasonable. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My children loved the decor and loved the crayon table and couch that are provided in the dining area. This is an extremely tasteful little place very well run. We were impressed and happy to stumble upon it. We will definitely return. Appreciate the farm-to-table, high quality food.

I think some of the negative comments left as reviews are from people who do not understand business transitions and what it takes to get a restaurant started up. Of course there are hiccups and human error. Of course there are time transitions and misunderstandings. My opinion is that this is a very well run, charming, and tasty establishment that is growing and finding its own feet. I would encourage any reader to look over the negative comments below, because to me, they seem out of context and overly negative. Try it...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Bridge, a local fine dining restaurant, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was fantastic, with carefully crafted dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented. Each bite was a burst of flavor and I was thoroughly impressed by the skill of the chef.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was also top-notch. The elegant decor and soft lighting created a warm and inviting ambiance that made the dining experience all the more enjoyable.

One of the highlights of my visit was the personable staff. They were friendly and attentive, making sure that I had everything I needed and offering suggestions and recommendations when I asked. They added a personal touch to the dining experience and made me feel like I was a valued customer.

In conclusion, I would give The Bridge a five-star rating for its fantastic food, atmosphere, and personable staff. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special dining experience and I look forward to...
