Ladder House Bar & Grill Inc — Restaurant in West Virginia

You have to get buzzed in at the entrance. Modest beer tap set, Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA being the only craft style. Three guys sitting separately at the bar looking bored at 3pm and left shortly thereafter, then a handful of regulars began to arrive around 3:30. The cook Leticia makes some excellent food. The chili is lip-burning spicy with big chunks of excellent quality ground meat. The brisket is very tender although the smoked flavor seems like it's bottled smoke in the sauce rather in the meat.

The "firefighter" theme is very minimal so you'll be disappointed if that's why you stop here, but it's a nod to the firehouse next door.

On any other day I would give this place 5 stars but bartender tonight was terrible. I come in atleast twice aweek and always tip atleast 50% cause service is outstanding.

All I wanted to do was grab a couple Jack and cokes and go home but I gave up after making eye contact a couple times and she just straight up ignored me. Wasn't asked one time if I wanted another drink or anything.verry disappointing

I wanted to edit this post. I won't remove the bad experience I did receive that one time however I have received some of the best service here than you will get anywhere. Brandon you are awesome and good company. I will definitely continue...

Don't be scared. Or better yet stay away if you are so others can enjoy.

I was not prepared to pull off the interstate to drive to an empty parking lot to have to pull off my sunglasses and beep into the place, but there we were hungry and tired. Thats where the hesitation stopped. The bartender greeted us and was extremely pleasant and so welcoming from the start. The food, delicious. We got a burger, blt, and fried pickles and nothing disappointed us. All crispy, hot, and flavorful. We talked about music and where we were driving to and it was just relaxing. When were leaving the bartender asked if we wanted a soda for the road. So kind. Definitely a nice place to relax (at least for that day. I saw some other posts that said it was loud) and enjoy light...
