King Tut Drive-In
Nostalgic Beckley Drive-In
Pure Beckley nostalgia. Pull up, a server comes to your car, and you eat right where you parked. The menu goes on forever — hot dogs, cheeseburgers, fries, homemade pies and milkshakes — and the home-cooked food and friendly service have made it a multi-generational staple. Ask for your sandwich on a homemade bun. Two eat for around $10.
Tamarack
The Best of West Virginia
The crown-shaped Appalachian showcase off the interstate (exit 45). Beyond the galleries of West Virginia art and crafts, Tamarack's food court serves genuinely good, low-priced regional cooking — think rainbow trout dredged in seasoned cornmeal with local mushrooms and cornbread. A 'Taste of West Virginia' two can split for cheap. Two eat for around $14.
Pasquale's Italian Restaurant
50-Year Italian Institution
A cozy, family-run Italian spot that's been serving Beckley for over 50 years — classic pastas, seafood, steak, veal and fully customizable pizzas (the 16-inch is easily shareable). Warm room, attentive service, fair prices. Two eat for around $18.
The Char
Steaks & Modern American
Beckley's go-to for a slightly dressier night out — steaks and modern American cooking, with the filet mignon and crab cakes earning special praise. Elegant but laid-back (dress jeans are fine). Share a steak and a starter and two can stay near budget. Two eat for around $20.
Foster's Main Street Tavern
Downtown 'Cheers'-Style Tavern
A downtown Beckley tavern with a genuine 'Cheers' feel — a nice bar, friendly regulars and good food, just down the road from McBee's. A relaxed spot for a drink and a shared plate. Two eat for around $16.
McBee's
Downtown Lunch Favorite
A solid, well-liked spot right in the middle of downtown Beckley — the kind of dependable Main Street lunch counter locals send visitors to. Two eat for around $12.
Young Chow's Restaurant
Chinese & Sushi
A family-friendly favorite for Chinese and sushi, with a wide menu, popular pineapple chicken and hot-and-sour soup, and a complimentary spicy-cabbage starter at every table. Two eat for around $14.
Campestre
Authentic Mexican
A vibrant, frequently-recommended Mexican restaurant bringing real flavor to Beckley — sizzling fajitas, enchiladas and a Chile Verde fans rave about, plus standout seafood. Friendly staff and generous plates. Two eat for around $14.
Bing's Bakery
Historic Family Bakery
One of Beckley's oldest landmarks, a family-owned bakehouse that's supplied the town with bread, pastries and homemade desserts for generations. The custom cakes are famous — but a couple of fresh pastries to go is the cheap move. Two eat for around $8.
Weathered Ground Brewery
Local Craft Brewery
A cozy, rustic southern West Virginia brewery pouring rotating IPAs, stouts and seasonal beers, with friendly staff and a relaxed, sociable vibe. A laid-back stop to split a flight and a snack. Two eat for around $16.
The Dish Cafe
Farm-to-Table Secret
Often called Beckley's best-kept secret, The Dish Cafe takes a farm-to-table approach with an inventive menu — firecracker shrimp, a marinated porketta sandwich, fresh salads. A little more ambitious, but easy on the wallet if you share. Two eat for around $18.
Black Circle Bistro
Gastropub & Burgers
An unexpected Beckley gem with cool, pinball-arcade vibes (including a Stranger Things machine the kids love), solid burgers and house chips that steal the show with barbecue and ranch. Two eat for around $16.
💡 Pro tip: All deals are community-verified. We linked official menus only where we could confirm them, so most spots here are map-only. Do the two Beckley classics: a car-side meal at King Tut, then a "Taste of West Virginia" plate at Tamarack — both cheap, both only-here. If you're headed to the New River Gorge, this is your fuel stop. Hours and prices change, so check before a special trip. If something's expired, flag it on our main directory so we can update it.
