Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack is a vibrant destination that perfectly blends the excitement of gaming with comfortable accommodations. While I didn't personally stay at the hotel, my brother had an exhilarating experience at the casino, where he enjoyed a rollercoaster of wins and losses. The friendly staff and helpful dealers made his first time playing Craps enjoyable and stress-free.
Great variety of games. It wasn't super busy when we went on a late Sunday night, so it was easy to find a seat at the slot machines I like to play. The slots were giving and taking pretty well, but came out with a little extra in the end. The complementary drink machine is a great addition to the visit. I just wish they weren't out of the raspberry tea I like, on that specific day, but not a big deal. Enjoyed my visit and will return sometime soon!

Casino is nice. They seem to be expanding and doing some work so I’ll be interested in seeing how that goes. I love greyhounds and highly recommend adopting one from there if you get a chance. They are terrific low maintenance pets and great companions. Slot machines were good and we were able to play a long time and the drinks were very reasonably priced. It’s in a bit of an odd location but a lot of fun

I am here in one of there rooms right now. I would suggest spending the night in the local area and take an Uber to bring you to the casino. We paid way too much money for this room. It is just a standard room. It was supposed to be a riverview, which you can barely see the river. There is one big bath towel, the rest are a child's sized. They give us one little bottle of shampoo, body wash, and conditioner for a couple. No place to hang a towel or washcloth. The room has a gross smell to it. The ice machine was broke. A coffee bar was on the 3rd floor, which we are on the fifth. We went to get coffee, no creamer, and barely any coffee left. This is the only thing you will receive free. Not worth the almost 400.00 I spent for a room. Never again!

We went to Wheeling Island on our first girls trip reunion with childhood friends. Two of us are experienced with casinos and 2 were not. I think now we have 4 Wheeling Island fans. The buffet was absolutely amazing. The slots were plenty and had most of my favorites and the dog races reminded me of trips there with my dad so many years ago. We had so much fun that we are making it an annual trip.

Always a blast and there are a wide variety of games and machines. Staff are very helpful. The atmosphere is very beautiful and comfortable. I think my favorite part about it honestly is the beautiful waterfall and the escalator is pretty badass too. Definitely be prepared to spend money tho… as for parking there is tons of parking. Also features an expensive buffet and hotel which I’ve never attended yet. Environment is very clean and for the most part people leave u alone and let u do ur thang. Valet parking is available

This has to be one of the absolute worst casinos that I been to. The layout is very strange. The selection and variety of games here is terrible. Anyone who believes Wheeling Island Casino has a good variety must have never been to any other casino. The payouts are disgustingly bad. $20 bet with a $1 denomination and only winning less than $100 feels like theft. Anyone who knows anything about slots knows that is practically unheard of. $1400 lost with not even being able to come close to even getting half of my money back. All of the jackpots are very, very low. Maybe this place is just for small spenders and low betters. I will say, the Friday buffet was very good. I have certainly walked out of casinos down money before, but never an experience like this without being able to win a single reasonable bonus. Thankfully I live over an hour away from this location so there will most likely never be a reasonable reason for me to return. Staff, however, were accommodating when I was setting up my first time player at this location. I always wait at least 24 hours to leave a bad review to see if my mood and outlook has changed, but it hasn’t.

Im not even sure how this place affords to leave the lights on, wait there not on. Its the darkest casino I have visited. Lots of the machines are off dont waste your time driving here its a ghost town, nothing worth seeing here, they havent even tried to make this place worth your time. Very disappointed. Get with the program offer people the crab legs again, some good music or at least turn the games on. When you offer people willing to come nothing there going to find somewhere else to spend there money.

Kiosk only when ordering food. It was a very bad program. Food was precooked and cold. Rooms lack basics like coffee,fridge and microwave. You have to fight for coffee in the morning on one floor. Service was very 🥶 cold. Was better before the remodeling.

Arenas & Stadiums
WesBanco Arena is a vibrant sports arena located along the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Wheeling, West Virginia. It has been a popular destination for various events and is currently home to the Wheeling Nailers Hockey Organization. The arena hosts a range of activities, from ECHL hockey games to indoor football matches and even special events like performances by the Harlem Globetrotters. Visitors praise the stadium for its cleanliness, excellent seating arrangements, and overall fan-friendly atmosphere.
This is a really nice stadium with a great fan base! The bathrooms were really clean, and the seating was set up to where there wasn't a bad seat in the house! This was my first time coming to this stadium and watching the Wheeling Nailers. It was a great home opener win, and the game was super exciting! I'm used to going to the Pittsburgh penguins game, but the way this game was and intermissions are ran, you really feel like you're part of the team as opposed to another person in the crowd. I was engaged from start to finish from the music played to the way the intermissions include the crowd, I really enjoyed my experience here and will most definitely be returning for another Nailers game! It is family friendly, and the crowd doesn't get out of hand even with them selling alcohol there. It was worth the hour drive to see this team play, and I look forward to returning!
Melanie P — Google review
WesBanco Arena offers a solid event experience with a few notable pros and cons. On the positive side, the seating layout ensures excellent views of the action from nearly every seat in the stadium, making it easy to enjoy the event. However, there are a few areas for improvement. The lack of cup holders in the seating area can be inconvenient, especially for those juggling drinks and snacks. Additionally, the seats themselves offer limited legroom, which might make longer events less comfortable for taller attendees. The most significant downside, though, is the post-event parking situation. Exiting the parking garage was chaotic, with no personnel directing traffic. This led to long delays and frustration for many attendees. A more organized approach to managing traffic flow would make a significant difference. Overall, while the arena has its strengths, addressing these logistical and comfort issues would enhance the overall experience.

Fun atmosphere older building with renovations outside. Super garage next door. Good selection of local favorite foods plus chain food chik-fil-a. Pepsi products. Some seating seems odd for hockey at least. Great crowd. For sensory sensitive very very loud acoustics.

What fun, small arena but nice as you can see everything going on. The bathrooms were always clean and food in drinks in close proximity. Saw the Miners play, box office staff were super friendly and helpful in choosing my seats.
Yvonne F — Google review
Sat pretty close to the stage, on folding chairs. It was extremely tight, especially when all the seats were filled. I could easily imagine situation turning dangerous because of how the seats were connected and everyone was so packed in. Also, the sound of the arena wasn't great for a concert. I gave 2 stars because the refreshments were cheap and the employees friendly.
E.A. P — Google review
Very nice arena, went for a nailers hockey game. Family friendly and lots of fun. Great good options. Clean and lots of history on display. They really get the crowd involved and make it a fun experience.
Savannah P — Google review
I've been to multiple wheeling nailers games and I have never had a bad experience.you do have to buy tickets outside and then go in, they do have a wheelchair accessible entrance but there are multiple flights of stairs once you get in and I believe that there are no ramps. The arena itself is very clean and organized and I have never got lost. They also have multiple score boards so you can see the score easily. Also the very back row seats are cheaper and I actually prefer them because you can get a good view and they do have bars where you can drink and watch the game. There is also plenty of parking outside and if you ever get a chance I highly recommend a hockey game for a family or personal experience. I guarantee you will have fun!

Later Alligator, located at 2145 Market Street in Wheeling, West Virginia, is a trendy bar and restaurant known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The menu offers a variety of options including soups, salads, sandwiches, and the real highlight - a wide selection of crepes ranging from sweet to savory. The quaint room with brick accents and art on the walls provides a laid-back setting to enjoy your meal or grab drinks with friends.
I’ve been coming here for about five years, and it’s still one of my favorite places to go in Wheeling. It’s a unique spot with great service and delicious food. Their curry sauce is one of the best I’ve ever had. I usually get the Over-the-Edge tacos, but honestly, everything on the menu is good. The restaurant has a great vibe and really cool décor. They also have outdoor seating, and it’s a great place whether you’re dining in or taking food to go—I’ve done both, and it’s always a great experience. Even the bathroom is decorated in a fun and unique way, with license plates from all over the country. I’ve added some pictures so you can check it out!

My initial impression of the restaurant wasn’t great, but it grew on me a little. When I entered, it took a while to get seated, and the interior felt somewhat small. However, the unique decor was definitely a positive aspect. I ordered a lemon drop cocktail, but it had very little alcohol and tasted more like water—so I didn’t order a second one. For my entrée, I chose the Wallie because of the many options available. I was thoroughly impressed and ended up finishing the entire dish. It was a fantastic recommendation from my waitress.

This was a great find on the first night of our weekend in Wheeling - it might be one of the best dinners I've had. There was a bit of a wait to get in, but down the street was a little Friday evening festival so we spent the time listening to the music and window shopping. My husband and I split 2 savory crepes (the Crepe Escape, and the Crepe Shoot) and one sweet crepe (Blueberry Hill). I would be hard pressed to pick between the two crepes, the flavors on both were amazing. For the sweet Crepe we substituted honey instead of maple syrup because I am not a maple fan - it was absolutely amazing. The whipped cream was not too sweet and was a great compliment to the brie and blueberries. Delicious. We will definitely be back!

This market has a lot of history in the city. You’ll find a combination of small businesses between food and crafts as well as homemade goods for sale. It has a unique blend of an open-air market, though it’s all under roof and behind glass except for businesses with window panes that open to outside. It is non-smoking, and there are several seating areas as well as restrooms.

Jacqui A — Google review
We love this place. It’s wonderful to mix well thought out grocery items with locally grown produce. The added art and curated goods are lovely too. It’s truly a wonderful place that communicates well with their patrons and has a genuine interest in providing groceries and items their customers want. The market skews toward more healthy, organic, and locally produced items which is a huge positive and should be applauded. But with that comes less wholesale and large box purchase options that bring prices down, so it’s a more expensive way to shop for groceries and something our family can’t afford to do very often despite wanting to support this fabulous place. We hope to continue to try and visit the Wheeling Centre Market for local produce, gift items, and more as we can! More people should visit and purchase great items from the Wheeling Centre Market and that may help ensure affordable prices alongside great products for all and support a place that is thoughtful and intentional with the curation of their products.

Went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Most of the street shops were closed which was disappointing. Centre Market itself was also pretty disappointing. First off it was filthy, the dining tables appeared to be left dirty from 1979, the floor was so nasty my Service Dog wouldn't lay under the table and I didn't make her!! We had lunch at Colemans Fish Market. Another loser!! It too was filthy, the floor had not been cleaned in weeks!! They had not been open long so no excuse for that. Coleman food was worse than the appearance of the establishment. 18.75$$ for 2 greasy fish sandwiches on smashed, stale, wonder bread.. Really Colemans?? We ended up trashing that nasty lunch!! I will not be back!!

Pizza restaurant
Vocelli Pizza, an East Coast-based chain, offers a delectable selection of artisanal pizzas and Italian sandwiches and salads. Renowned for its exceptional quality, their thin-crust pizzas boast a slightly crispy bottom and well-balanced sauce. Adorned with small pepperoni that transform into delightful crispy bowls, this pizza is nothing short of awesome. Not only is the taste phenomenal, but the prices are also affordable.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THANK YOU to Vocelli’s Pizza in Wheeling for being the real MVP of our birthday party! Not only did they hook us up with a sweet discount, but the pizza was so good it practically disappeared the moment we opened the boxes. I’m convinced they put magic in the crust. The staff was super friendly and didn’t even judge how much pizza we ordered. 10/10 would party (and eat) with them again. Use them for your next get together! You won’t regret it. ❤️🍕🎉

We were so very proud to offer Vocelli Pizza from Wheeling WV to our guests this evening at Benwood Pool. Everyone loved it. It was a successful and fun-filled event. They delivered 13 large pizzas, breadsticks and Cannolis which made it easier for us. Can’t thank them enough for the friendly service and truly delicious home style pizza. We give them 2 thumbs up and highly recommend to give them a try…you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be using them again! Compliments to the Chefs!! 🍕🥰

We ordered an order of alfredo and a large cheese pizza. I'm a member of the rewards program and have ordered pizza here for a long time, and part of why we like it here is that the staff is generally nice and the pizza is so yummy and very cheesy. We noticed the pizza we received was definitely smaller than usual, and very bare. You could see more tomato sauce and bubbles than you could see cheese. We measured it with a ruler and it was 12" in some spots, 13" in other spots. Large pizzas are supposed to be 14". It was given to us in an xl box, but the tape measure showed it didn't even measure up to a large. Maybe if it was otherwise stellar and cheesy like normal vocellis, we would have shrugged and been ok with it, but it was so dry and scarce with cheese, that we tried calling the restaurant. We spoke to a lady and told her what happened and then asked to speak to the manager, and then they hung up the phone. We called back multiple times immediately and they would not pick up. We drove all the way down there, and the manager told us that we are "seeing it wrong because it's in an xl box." We told him we measured it, but he didn't care and ignored us. We also told him that this is much less cheese than normal. Again - this pizza was only like 50% covered by cheese. He said "that's the normal cheese that we always put on" and then when we asked "well can we have some more, because this is never what our pizzas from here look like," he grabbed a handful of cheese with his hand, threw it on our now-cold pizza, closed the box, and said "look now you have EXTRA CHEESE" and scoffed at us. Super unprofessional and honestly really disappointing, because we have always had good experiences here, but now we'll just go somewhere else and have others do the same because the staff couldn't even be remotely respectful. We are not stuck up Karens by any means, some of us literally used to work in pizza shops, and just honestly wanted them to remake it, but they treated us like they thought we were idiots for asking. It was embarrassing. I have pictures of the pizza with a tape measure for size, and I have pictures of what it looked like when the manager angrily threw cheese on the pizza and gave it back to us raw.

Seafood market
Coleman's Fish Market in Wheeling is a popular spot known for its giant fish sandwich. The casual establishment often has long lines, especially for the famous fish sandwich, which is served battered on white bread. If you're looking for other dishes, there's a shorter special line available. The restaurant offers quick service and impresses visitors with its hot and fresh sandwiches, along with piping hot fries. It's a must-visit destination in Wheeling for delicious seafood fare.
Simple and delicious freshly fried fish sandwich - don't forget to order tartar sauce! The market selections look delicious as well along with the other market vendors. Coleman's is a must stop when we pass through Wheeling.

I finally made it out to Coleman's. I had the fish sandwich, deviled crab, and clam boat. They were very good and made the trip definitely worthwhile.
John W — Google review
Coleman's is absolutely INSANE for the price. Definitely follow the advice of others + order your fish sandwich with the bread on the side so it stays crispier + allows you to keep some for later munchies. 🤭 The alligator soup was okay, but I don't think I'd get it again. Ditto on the cole slaw. Sweet + not super memorable for me. Mac + cheese was very soft in texture, but the taste was on point. I couldn't stop eating it. Would get the mac again. 👍 Fries were a solid side too. The deviled crab had a lot of filler/flavors, but it tasted pretty good. It's worth splitting with someone or getting for yourself for later. All-in-all, Coleman's is definitely worth a stop if you find yourself anywhere in the area. 💯💯💯

Coleman’s Fish Market is hands down one of the best spots in Wheeling, WV! Their fresh fish sandwiches and hometown service are unbeatable.

A must-visit whether you live here or are just passing through!

Love this place as they always have a great selection of fresh seafood. I'm not crazy about their fish sandwich though. The white fish is good and they are not at all stingy on tgeirportions, but their breading is very lacking in flavor. Pretty bland but my husband, like thousands of others, loves it. The building is absolutely adorable. It really draws you in. There are other food stands in the building as well and I am dying to try one of them sometime. An absolute must for your fresh seafood needs, such as cioppino.

The venue also boasts pool tables and multiple large-screen TVs for sports enthusiasts. Families will appreciate the variety on offer; from hearty grilled chicken dinners to tasty burgers and fries.
Without a doubt, River City is the best place to see a show in Wheeling, West Virginia. A stunning multipurpose venue, complete with fantastic food, a large drink selection, great concert sound and the BEST bands that the Ohio Valley has to offer. Also a great place to grab a drink before and after a Wheeling Nailers Hockey game being just a half block away from Wesbanco Arena.

Food was great. Service was not. I wouldn't even consider them that busy, but waited 30 minutes for a drink. If this were the first time, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's consistent here, unfortunately. Always the last choice when I'm in Wheeling for a game, and that won't be changing tonight.

Food isn’t good anymore, it’s just your local frozen bar food now. My wife was served rice that was hard enough to break your teeth. The steak I had didn’t taste fresh and was chewy. My daughters fish basket was just frozen fish tenders and the coleslaw tastes like it came out of a tub. The service really sucked as well, our waitress was completely absent even to where the kitchen had to bring our food out at first to the wrong table. It wasn’t busy either, so there wasn’t a good excuse. Aside from this, the bar is still legit and the bartenders are really great. Overall, I just hate seeing a once fantastic restaurant in downtown Wheeling on such a steep decline. I hope they can reinvent themselves.

We were looking for some food about 130 PM on Wednesday afternoon. We walked into an almost empty dining room ( there was only one person eating at a High-top table. It looked like a couple employees were at the far end of the area. We. Peered around the corner and stood at the front entrance a bit. It was as if we were invisible.. no one around.... webpage said you were open, but evidence does not support. Good service needs to be managed, bad service happens all by itself.

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Wheeling, Sarah’s On Main is a charming coffee shop that has quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike. This delightful spot offers an array of scrumptious lunch options, many of which cater to plant-based diets. Diners can indulge in a variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes such as the refreshing harvest salad, mouthwatering sundried tomato and pesto pizza, or an assortment of delectable breakfast pastries.
Stopped by for breakfast and couldn't have been happier. The French toast was amazing, the breakfast brioche sandwich top notch. There is a bread magician here. The coffee and atmosphere was great as well. By the time we left the queue for coffee and yesterday goodness was present but moving along.

What a fabulously adorable place with amazing fresh dishes! First three items on the lunch menu sounded perfect, so along with trying all of them, had to add a blueberry cheese danish too. Everything was delicious and made perfectly.

Sarah’s On Main is such a wonderful spot! The food is delicious — the sweet potato hash with chorizo was amazing, and the Quiche Lorraine was fluffy, dense, and perfect. The lavender coffee was such a unique and comforting touch. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and Sarah herself is so kind and sweet, which makes the whole experience even better. Truly a place that makes you feel at home while enjoying a special meal.

I love this place. I don’t even consider myself a salad person but oh my gosh their salads are so good on every occasion I’ve had them that I crave them. Genuinely delicious food. My only small complain is that sometimes the espresso (I usually get a cappuccino or latte) is hit or miss. Maybe it depends on who makes it. Overall I really love this place and employees are very nice. I like spending time in there.

Seeing how high this establishment is rated, I made the 180 mile round trip to Sarah's On Main with pretty high expectations. Regretfully, I just don't understand what all the hype is about. I will say I've never had French toast in the form of sliced breadsticks before, and I appreciate the attempt at a unique take on the dish. The appreciation ended though when the dull knife provided couldn't cut through about half of the French toast because it was so tough even after soaking in an entire container of maple syrup for a while. The egg was just your ordinary egg with no seasoning whatsoever, which left the three little sausage links as the sole redeeming part of the meal. At least the wait staff were all friendly and the quaint establishment was in a nice part of town with ample street parking.

Sarah’s On Main was recommended to us by a real estate agent while looking for coffee and breakfast when first in town. He mentioned the homemade bread was incredible. We have since been multiple times and always leave fully impressed by the food, service, and atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed pastries, sandwiches and lunch specials. You really can’t go wrong with any order here. And the coffee is easily one of the best in town. Love the outdoor garden with mural and back yard area. Would be grateful for more gluten free options and longer hours but completely understand the costs and staff challenges associated with both.

Oglebay Resort is a versatile destination that offers various accommodations, including a spa, 30-acre zoo, and pools. The resort boasts a rich history and is located on top of a hill with stunning views. It features different room categories like the west wing and lake view, connected internally. With spacious conference halls, multiple restaurants, a spa, and shops on-site. Guests can enjoy the convenience of having everything they need within the property.
Our recent stay at Oglebay Resort was great! The entire staff was quite friendly and our room (#W215) was spotless and well equipped. The food was exceptional, as was the wait staff (including the omelet lady). This is a great place to stay any time of the year; we will definitely return.

Overall, we liked it. We stayed in the Byrd Wing in the Lodge and it was very dated. The toilet was so close to the bath tub and carpet in the bathroom areas aren't the most sanitary. Super confusing layout and honestly, not very kid friendly. No kids menus at any of the restaurants or highchairs/kids cups. We went down to the lake for the Fall Nights and beware there is zero lightening on the walking path down. We used our phone flashlights. Cars do fly around so be very alert! This place is nice for adults, kids I would take elsewhere next time. Also, no fridge or microwaves in rooms. Ice machines and most vending machines did not work properly. Staff was very friendly though! I think the property just needs a good upkeep/overhaul.

First time at Oglebay and won't be my last. Great, very spacious room with inside and outside access which I love. Plenty of amenities and super friendly staff. The fig and pig pizza at Skyline was worth the stay alone but the staff in the bar were excellent. Kyasia made killer old fashioneds and Tyler and Emmy kept things lively. Definitely will return.

The staff is friendly BUT. There where bed bugs in the cabin. It was a whole scramble on their side which ended with improper treatment. They treated the cabin but the bed bugs were back the next night. We did not get to use the room all day so we had to eat at their restaurant which is incredibly overpriced, any there are not many free activities onsite. We got 50% of the cost comped, but that doesn't cover the fact that we now have to deal with the "did we bring them back" issue and we couldn't eat the food we bought to save money. They initially said we would be comped 100% of the price of the room but then on check out there was all of a sudden protocol and because we did not move to the smaller cabin that did not fit our needs, we only got a 50% comp. This trade off was by no means communicated to us at any point until check out. The onsite coordinators for the wedding we were there to attended also barely coordinated, and its internal resources. -Added note on 10/23/2025 to respond to the businesses comment. It was a cabin reservation for a group. Reservation was under my friend. He has only received "Sorry that was your experience" platitudes. It is very clear that bed bugs are expected by management.

My review is about the Oglebay website. It is so outdated. It is not easy to navigate. It does not provide photos of each room in the cottage or home you are renting. People would like to see what they are paying for and not have any surprises when they get there. Your website is not mobile friendly. My recommendation is to reach out to your website company 'FINE' and come into this century.

The Oglebay Institute Glass Museum is a tribute to Wheeling's rich history in glassmaking, showcasing over 3,500 pieces of locally made glass and china. One of its highlights is the famous Sweeney Punch Bowl, the largest cut glass piece globally. Visitors can witness live demonstrations and workshops at the museum's glass studio to gain insight into the art of glassmaking.
It all was beautiful!!! We found the glass blower and his wife to be very informative and so very nice. Highly recommend visiting here. Loved It!
John B — Google review
The collection focuses on glass made in Wheeling WV, which is highly reputed for glassmaking. The quality of the collection does not disappoint, as they have many impressive items on display. The glass museum is part of a larger estate, which can keep tourists busy for a little while. While the museum has excellent collections, it lacked explanations or interactivity. Cases after cases of glass: nice to look at, not sure I learned much. Instead of devoting half of the building to a gift shop, perhaps the museum part deserves more space and a revamped approach to engaging visitors.
Philippe — Google review
How neat! I have a love for glass. Especially carnival glass. We learned a lot about glass making in the area over the years and we got to look at absolutely beautiful pieces. We visited during the festival of the lights so we also walked the grounds and checked those out. They are beautiful! We bought the tickets that included the Mansion tour and that was interesting also! We definitely enjoyed our visit from Michigan!

We have been going to Oglebay for many years now around the Christmas holidays. We have always loved shopping at what used to be the Oglebay Carriage House and now the Oglebay Institute Glass Museum. They have some nice Christmas items there, however just not the same shopping experience. We definitely miss what Oglebay used to be compared to what it is today.

We were surprised that it cost $15..00 to visit the house and museum. There's no discount for seniors or vets. But once we got into the museum we were very pleased with the displays.

Zoos & Aquariums
Nestled within Oglebay Park in Wheeling, United States, the Oglebay Good Zoo has been a beloved family destination since its establishment in 1977. This expansive zoo is home to a diverse array of rare and endangered species, offering visitors the chance to encounter animals from around the world. In addition to classic exhibits, guests can partake in animal encounters for an up-close experience with certain creatures. The zoo also provides various nature programs catering to both children and adults.
Last weekend, my wife, my son, and I attended a 7-year-old’s birthday party at Oglebay Good Zoo, and we had a fantastic experience. There's a special party room where we enjoyed food, sang "Happy Birthday," and even got to see some animals up close right inside the room. The zoo itself has both indoor and outdoor areas. While it's not a large zoo, the animals are unique and very interesting. The staff was incredibly helpful, well-organized, and attentive throughout our visit. One of the highlights was when everyone went to a separate room for an animal presentation. A staff member introduced three different animals that the kids could touch, and adults had the option to step out if they preferred. The presenter was amazing—very knowledgeable and great with the kids. Overall, I highly recommend Oglebay Good Zoo as a place to celebrate children’s birthday parties. It was fun, educational, and really well run.

Wonderful little zoo for children. My 1st grader LOVED IT! Not so big that you feel like you’re missing anything & the animals were all so active during the day we were there. We got to see the cheetahs run & eat! While on our trip I lost my prescription sunglasses… they not only found them for me but mailed them to my house! We will be back very soon!!

This zoo is so cute and it's a great retirement home for the animals! I went with some friends to do the behind-the-scenes golf cart led tour and it was fabulous. Brin was our guide - she was so knowledgeable, funny, and nice. Excellent people skills! The facility is so well maintained and we got to tour the animal hospital as well. They take really good care of the animals here, even if it is a smaller zoo. The larger resort surrounding the zoo was also so beautiful! I hope to visit the resort for their holiday lights in the future.

So many unique animals, particularly the rare maned wolves and red pandas, that you can see up close and learn about.

The experience here is quintessentially local—imagine enjoying your meal next to a gas station under the scenic embrace of double overpasses in a charming valley.

Georgia H — Google review
Very poor customer service. The person taking our order wasn’t helpful at all . We asked if they had any specials on their roast beef sandwiches. The employee said “yes”... So then we had to ask “Well what are they?” I would think if somebody is asking about the specials you should probably just tell them, but that’s just me. She also sounded annoyed that we were asking questions. The food was bad quality. The curly fries were cold and all broken end pieces. I would just say don’t ever go here. They don’t seem to want customers. We’ve also had problems with them closing early, or turning off all the lights to make it look like they’re closed.
Daniel A — Google review
They seemed understaffed. While I was in there, there was a door dasher complaining about her pickup order from last time in a pretty annoying tone. The staff handled it great and were very courteous. Which was nice because I would have definitely made that lady sit and wait a while if she spoke to me that way. Anyway, food was as expected. The steak nuggets were likely not beef, but repurposed deer ankles.
Josh W — Google review
Unbelievably bad experience, especially considering it's harder to have lower expectations than at an Arby's drive-thru to begin with. But... Wherever you have set those expectations... Prepare to be disappointed. Management is still riding the covid excuse wave so the restaurant is understaffed and the bathroom is closed. Spent 20 minutes in the drive-thru. Staff was rude. Had to ask for napkins. Discovered that there was no sauce for the very beaten up roast beef sandwich in the bag... At that point, you have no options because it's not like you're going to sit in the drive-thru for 20 minutes to ask for sauce. If you can possibly avoid this stop by the freeway, do so. Eating one of your own limbs or possibly one of your young is likely a better decision than going here.
Adam G — Google review
Stopped by to try the Wagyu Burger, the sauce was good, the burger was a bit charred and on the dry side. Not what I expected out of the best meat in the world but it's not the meats fault it was over cooked. The flavors were good but was disappointing because of the over cooking. Crinkle fries and chocolate shake were good. I went through the drive thru so I was all the way home before seeing the cook on the burger, otherwise I would have returned it.

I'm not impressed with my most recent visit. Half the sandwich was smashed and the cheese all over the wrapper instead of on the sandwich. I didn't get a Pic of the fries but I got the curly fries and they were ALL end pieces, not one curly q fry! Very disappointing 😞

The order taker at Route 88 Burgers & Brew had limited English skills, so the customer sought assistance from a helpful cook. The cook informed them that garlic seasoning was used on burgers and fries, but accommodated the customer's allergy by preparing theirs plain. It is uncertain how West Virginia taxes to-go orders. Despite this, the burgers and fries were enjoyable. Additionally, they had a delightful experience with a delicious, tender, and moist briscuit accompanied by savory sides.
Great little place for fun & a light meal. Burgers were fantastic & the table loved the fries as well. Fair prices, friendly service & a clean environment. The balcony seats on the back of the restaurant provide AMAZING views. The driving range, practice putting green & par 3 course look like a very fun opportunity.

Fragile Bun Steals Fun I would gamble that there’s not a prettier setting in WV to eat a burger. Rolling hills, Ski Slopes and unobstructed views for miles. But the burger bun should hold up emotionally and physically. RT88BB got recommended as the best burger in Wheeling and in a sea of frozen patties laced with soy, they may be right. But if you pick up this burger you can’t put it down because the bun disintigrates in your hands. I had to ask for a second top bun which also split the second I touched it. I got a double “all the way” and the bun made it “some of the way.” Don’t order the triple unless you plan on using a fork. If this burg gets a sturdy potato bun in the future it’ll be list worthy, today its just wish worthy. Fine burg, keep it to a single.

Thru the toughest circumstances in years, Charlie and his Top Hand Jeremiah/ staff have brought The West / Stratford Springs back from closure to a thriving Special Occasion, Dining Room and Sports Bar second to none. The menu has such a variety that everyones taste are satisfied. This only works with a cooking Staff with pride,drive and respect for each customers dish . The West has an extensive Salad menu that I order from weekly. My personal favorite is the Greek Salad with Blackened Chicken topped with Charlie's Greek Dressing but there are literally over a dozen choices. Our Weekends are often highlighted by The West Breakfast menu with choices from French Toast to Mexican specialties that are phenomenal. Its not hard to tell by reviews who have actually been to The West.

The West at Stratford Springs hosted a corporate dinner for my team. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. Jeramiah went above and beyond to accommodate our small group and made planning a breeze. Our servers were great and everyone enjoyed their meals. I definitely recommend!

Wings, perogies, all beef hotdog. Hotdog was spicy, came with chili sauce, shredded cheddar, and was way bigger than the bun. I had not ordered them before ands did not realize the size. After eating 5 wings and sharing the perogies, I could only eat 1 of the 2 hotdogs I ordered. Very good

We had an amazing experience at Generations Restaurant and Pub! The perogies and boneless chicken wings were absolutely delicious — full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We also tried the liver and onions, which were done just right, and topped it off with one of their lava cake desserts — rich, warm, and decadent. Our waitress was outstanding — not only was she attentive and friendly, but she also shared a quick history of the restaurant and gave us great recommendations for places to check out while we’re visiting Wheeling. Her hospitality truly made the experience memorable. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!

It was our server's first night out of training, and she did phenomenal. This came out in conversation and we were happy to be able to build her up. She was personable, thorough, and attentive. The menu had changed some since the last time we were there, and everything sounded appetizing. We usually love the Buffalo chicken dip here, but tonight it was lukewarm. There was an abundance of pita bread, which was a pleasant surprise. My husband enjoyed the flavor of his burger. The WV dogs were a miss. They were overally wet, and I needed a knife and fork to eat them. I've had them in the past and really enjoyed them. The salad was fresh and plentiful.

Mount Wood Overlook is a captivating spot that offers a blend of history and scenic beauty, making it a favorite among locals in Wheeling, West Virginia. Nestled across from the intriguing Mount Wood Castle and Cemetery, this overlook has an enchanting backstory tied to a local doctor who envisioned building the castle for his family in the 1920s.
I've always wanted to come here! It was so gorgeous to see in person. Parking is at the top on the overlook making it really easy to access. From there you can walk down the stairs and into the bottom parts to explore everything. The overlook is an amazing view of the town and smells a lot like balloons. So happy to have visited! (If maps bring you to a set of steps drive a little further and turn up the hill where you'll be able to park at the top)

It was an interesting stop while in WV. Unfortunately the trees and greenery were over grown and blocked most of the view of the valley and river. I thought we were going to have to hike up to get to the look out point, but there is a small parking area. The graffiti is interesting and apparently ever changing
Kelly H — Google review
Mount Wood Overlook is such an awesome place to explore. It is in the shape fo a castle that has graffiti all over it which makes it look really neat. There is also a scenic overlook looking over the town below. There is a small parking area right in front of the structure. It is a great spot for photography and even photoshoots.

Wheeling Suspension Bridge

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Bridges
The Wheeling Suspension Bridge, dating back to 1849, is a historic marvel that once held the title of the world's largest suspension bridge. Stretching over 1,000 feet across the Ohio River, it connects downtown Wheeling to Wheeling Island. Due to its age, there are restrictions on vehicle weight and spacing. This iconic structure offers breathtaking views and serves as a tangible link to the city's rich history.
The bridge was closed to vehicles when I visited but open to pedestrians. There were some people roaming around that were homeless or appeared to be on the verge of homeless. I wouldn’t recommend going to this area as a female alone or after dark. Which is unfortunate since the bridge is lighted up quite nicely at night and the reflection on the Ohio River is beautiful.
Brian — Google review
I just like seeing suspension bridges. This was a very nice stop on a PA to OH and back road trip on Labor Day weekend. There is a road closed sign in front of the bridge but that’s just for vehicles. You can walk or bike across it. It was a beautiful day. We really enjoyed walking across and seeing the river. There is no fee and no ticket required. We parked on the street a half a block away. This is on the National Road heritage trail - there is a little info sign about the history of the bridge and the trail right there too. If you are parked on the side where heritage port is, you are crossing over to Wheeling Island and vice versa.

The Wheeling Suspension Bridge is a nice local landmark and great spot for a walk. The bridge was built in 1849 and has so much history to it. Near the entrance, there’s a sign that gives a lot of helpful information about the history and construction of the bridge. They were actually doing renovations to the bridge when I was there, but that didn’t hinder the experience. When walking across the bridge, there’s great views of the city of Wheeling, the Ohio River, and Wheeling Island. It’s a cool landmark to visit if you’re in the area.

It was the largest suspension bridge in the world from 1849 until 1851. The Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the main channel of the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia. The bridge was a very interesting engineering piece of history. We wanted to see the bridge but it was under renovation. They were doing bridge repair, so the bridge was closed to motor vehicles. We could only walk on one side of the street near the bridge and get some good pictures. Hope it reopens.

Capitol Theatre, a historic performance venue in Wheeling, has been hosting music, theater events, and movies since 1928. The restored building is home to the Wheeling Symphony and hosts Broadway shows, concerts, and other performances. Additionally, it offers rental opportunities for those seeking a classy space. The theatre also presents the Capitol Theatre Movie Series during the summer months.
This was a great place to see a concert. As you can see I saw the Beach Boys with Mike Love. They were amazing! Sounded awesome and I had a great time. The theater was impressive and a great place to experience the Beach Boys live. Acoustics were good, atmosphere had a great vibe and the workers were incredibly nice and helpful. I had a blast and from Pittsburgh it was an easy drive. Highly recommend going if your on the fence. Very cool venue. Would go again when another artist I like comes to Wheeling WV!!

Magical theater! Canada in 3 more years, the Capital Music Hall will be 100 years old. This stage is legendary to country music, artists and fans.

Nestled in the vibrant downtown Wheeling, Elle & Jack's is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. With its seasonal menu and a blend of sophistication and comfort, this restaurant offers unique dishes that stand out in the local food scene. The welcoming staff are eager to assist you with cocktail pairings to enhance your meal, which may include delectable options like oysters, burgers, or their freshly prepared plates. Elle & Jack's is perfect for special occasions or simply when you're craving something extraordinary.
My husband and I had a weeknight dinner before going to a concert. We both had seasonal cocktails that were delicious. My husband's short rib was so tender, it fell apart. My petit steak was perfectly cooked and tender. The potatoes and vegetables were a perfect accompaniment. We didn't have room for dessert. We should have taken something to go, because I know any of the desserts would have been amazing. We both had to use the restroom. The women's restroom was impeccably clean, and they offer feminine products if you find yourself in need. I also enjoyed the scented hand lotion. My husband said the men's room was also very clean. An establishment that keeps it's dining and rest rooms clean, no doubt has a very clean kitchen, which is THE most important detail for a restaurant. We don't live close to Wheeling, but should we find ourselves there again, we will definitely dine here again.

We are visiting from out of town for an extended period and have tried All The Restaurants in Wheeling - and this is the best. We’ve been a few times now and it’s consistently awesome: great drinks, great food, great people. I particularly enjoyed the Jamaican shrimp curry - it was very well spiced though not at all spicy (which would have made me like it even more truth be told). We’ve gotten the wedge every time, it’s that good. The meatball appetizer was also delicious - I loved the little garlic confits on the toasts. The roast chicken was great. The steaks and short rib were great … we really have worked through most of the menu! Everyone who we’ve encountered there has been really gracious and attentive and accommodating. We sat in the bar area and had a wonderful time.

Husband here for a work trip and we have been here at least 4 times for dinner this week! Once we are set on something we love we just have to eat it as much as possible. During the week days it was not crazy busy but the atmosphere is great! Our favorite dish is definitely the cacio e Pepe chicken the normal is great but replaced the roasted potatoes with the risotto and you won’t be disappointed! Our week is ending and we are so devastated but we will have to make a trip back one day!

I stopped in here Friday evening before going to the Capital Theatre around 5 pm. I would probably recommend calling and getting a reservation if you were planning to come here much later on a Friday evening. It was getting quite busy by the time I was finishing my meal. The lamb shank was delicious and cooked well. The risotto was good but I feel like it could be improved. I got the bananas foster bread pudding for dessert which was good. I’d recommend stoping here if you are in the area.

Nice atmosphere and good food. The charcuterie board had a good variety of choices and the drinks were just right. We did ask for extra bread for the charcuterie board. The burger was huge and the rosemary fries were tasty. My salmon fish had very good flavoring. The steak was good but cooked over the requested medium rare, it was more medium.

Bridge Tavern & Grill is a long-established establishment that offers breakfast and classic American comfort food in a nostalgic atmosphere.

The venue provided a seamless experience by taking care of everything - from setting up tables and chairs to arranging buffet-style meals and non-alcoholic beverages. They even had dedicated bartenders both in the room and at the restaurant, going above and beyond by placing directional signs for guests' convenience.
Great location to hit when downtown Wheeling. Right down the street from the Capital. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Doug is always there to make sure you have a great experience and greet you with a smile. I can’t wait to stop in again when in town. A must visit spot when in the Wheeling area. Reminds you of Cheers with great food.

Nice downtown location with a great view of the suspension bridge. We were here on a Thursday afternoon, it wasn’t too busy so parking was easy. The server greeted us quickly and was very friendly. I enjoyed the fried pepper jack cheese appetizer. I had the club and even though it was huge and put together as I expected I felt it could use some bacon or maybe some bacon jam. Just needs a bit of flavor. My husband had the turkey cranberry wrap- it was a unique blend of flavors, kind of like thanksgiving in a wrap. It was tasty! I liked the decor and the history of the area.

This is a hidden gem! Cool atmosphere and attentive service. My food was delicious. The cheese balls incredible!

If I’m back in Wheeling I’d go back!

Bridge Tavern & Grill in Wheeling, WV is one of those places that never disappoints. The steak salad and chicken wraps are excellent, and I’ve got a soft spot for their onion rings and fried pickles — all tasty, all at a fair price. The atmosphere has that classic local feel, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. As part of Remax Broadwater: Team WolfePack, I enjoy pointing folks new to the area toward spots like Bridge Tavern because it’s the kind of place that makes Wheeling feel like home.

We had a great conversation about the business and the town's rich history, which really added to the personal touch of my visit. And the food? Simply great! I highly recommend their smash burger with their signature sauce – it was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. To top it all off, I was pleasantly surprised by their impressive variety of bourbons. The staff's knowledge was exceptional, and their recommendations were spot-on.

The Vagabond Kitchen is a locally owned gastropub situated in downtown Wheeling. It offers a wide selection of craft brews, cocktails, and New American dishes. This restaurant has an interesting backstory as it was conceptualized by Matt Welsch in 2013. Welsch embarked on a motorcycle journey across the country to explore different culinary techniques and ingredients.
In the heart of downtown Wheeling, we Trip Advisored into the Vagabond Kitchen. The on line menus were incredibly inviting and accurate. The atmosphere was modern and inviting. The food was perfect for a cold winter’s night. My chicken pot pie was divine as were the brownies. This place was worth the effort to find parking and avoid the rough patches on Market Street. We’ll be back!

The atmosphere looks nice on the inside. The customer service was ok. I ordered the frog legs and I was highly disappointed. These were the smallest I have ever seen in my life. The honey lemon pepper seasoning I had on it was delicious. So we asked could we get some of the sauce to go and that we would pay for the sauce. The chef told the waitress that he didn't have time to be making a sauce if we were not placing another order. So I do not plan to go back again.

We were just passing through on our way back from a road trip and Pickles was the best meal we had on the entire trip. The service was fast even though they were busy, staff very friendly, and the prices were more than fair for the amazing quality of the food. We got the garlic parmesan boneless wings, pulled pork nachos, killer steak sandwich, and reuben fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. If it wasn't so far from WI, we would be regulars. If we ever pass through again this is definitely our go-to. To the owners- you are doing something right. Your food was fantastic and your staff are super nice. Not even my experience but another girl was grabbing pickup and your staff noticed one of the containers leaked all over the bag and replaced the bag and the appetizer that broke open without question. If you aren't already, be proud of the service you provide. You guys rock and thank you for being a part of our trip!

Road trip to Wheeling Island brought us to this little bar. We're always on the lookout for unique menus and local digs with great reviews. Pickle's did not disappoint. We ordered some wings...ranch, pb&j, bourbon bbq, ozzy, maple garlicand mild ranchero. Dude! We will definitely back even if only for the pb&j wings!! Fantastic. Ozzy was good. Bourbon bbq good. The ladies liked the house made ranch. Mild ranchero and maple garlic weren't bad... just underwhelming. Not a whole lot of flavor. The capn crunch chicken tendies were both flavorful and juicy. The jam burger was also very good. SIL said, "Yeah, I like it. Tastes like a bacon and onion burger. " LOL Atmosphere... little local dive bar. Actually... we love those quite frankly. They always have great food. Service... the waitresses were all so very nice! Having said that we were constantly looking for one and always seemed to have an empty drink at the table. I think I spent over 15 minutes myself with nothing to drink while eating my wings. Prices were very good. Food was hot and ample quantity. They weren't huge portions, but they were "enough." I would recommend giving this place a try. Be adventurous. They have a cool menu and I think I counted over 30 wing flavors!!

The pickles can’t be beat and the Buffalo wings are amazing!

Golden Chopsticks is a well-established Chinese restaurant in Wheeling, known for its upscale and traditional cuisine. The venue offers a spacious and comfortable dining experience with multiple rooms, including a bar area and gaming room.

Brooke was amazing host and so was this place. We were on a long drive trip returning back to Toronto, Canada when we thought of taking a small detour and enjoy some sumptuous, fresh lunch then usual fast food on the go. After some quick research came to know about this place and BOY what a nice choice of venue we had! Each item was cooked, presented very well. Tasted even better!! Brooke was very warm host and made us felt welcomed.

Atmosphere- located on Wheeling Island in an old neighborhood (probably not the best area of Wheeling). This restaurant felt compact. Tables were too close together and there wasn’t a lot of them. Looks to be two floors but never went upstairs to see if there was more room up there. Had to wait about ten minutes for a table even though they didn’t seem busy. Just a weird layout. Service- 4 stars- our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Food- 4 stars- enjoyed the fried dumplings and the Kung Pao Chicken. Large portions! Also got the Chicken and zucchini with garlic sauce- was supposed to be spicy but wasn’t at all- still decent but wish it had some kick to it. Overall a pretty good Chinese restaurant.

There were four of us and we all got seafood. They gave you plenty of shrimp, crab, and scallops. The entire portion of food was huge. We all took some home. I thought the food was actually better the second day. Usually parsley does not have a taste but this parsley tasted really good. I even ate the decorative radish flower. It was good too. Brooke was our waitress and she did a fantastic job. Always there when you needed her and very attentive. We will definitely go back.

Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had to date is for this really great restaurant! It doesn’t look like much on the outside but the food more than makes up for it! We tried several dishes and all of them were very tasty! A cozy and inviting atmosphere but it can be a little cramped if the restaurant is near capacity. The decor is tasteful, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Overall, if you're looking for a great Chinese meal in Wheeling, WV, you can't go wrong with Golden Chopsticks.

Not Golden anymore. I have been eating at Golden Chopsticks ever since Martin opened this place. I worked with Martin when Peking Gardens was in Wheeling. Jimmy too bless his soul. However, the quality is not what it once was since Martin sold this place and the customer service I received while ordering takeout was terrible. I miss Jimmy. He was the best!. I was told that they don’t make sweet and sour pork. Only chicken, beef, or shrimp. and the ginger salad is no more. This was one of my faves! As I was inquiring about Singapore chow mei fun the girl told me to”hold on.” After waiting for a few and being a little frustrated I hung up and called back hoping to get someone else. Another person answered and I asked him what was in the Singapore chow Mei fun. He told me veggies, egg and a protein of my choice like chicken, beef, or shrimp. I am familiar with this dish and know what goes in it. I just wanted to make sure they made it this way. So I ordered this dish with the chicken as well as the sweet and sour chicken. When I got home and opened the containers I was very disappointed at what I saw. The sweet and sour chicken is what you would get a a cheap fast food Chinese takeout. Heavy breading with very little meat and hardly any veggies. Chow mei fun did not have one sliver of chicken or veggies or egg. So sad to this place turn out the way it has. Lots of good memories though. Thanks Martin and Jimmy for the memories.

Who would have ever thought that some of the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life would come from an unassuming building located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Wheeling? Trust me when I tell you that if you are anywhere close to this restaurant you must stop! The food is excellent! Freshly prepared and delicious. Everything we ordered was delicious. It's absolutely wonderful!

A nice clean park, with beautiful views, they have a splash pad now for kids. We were here on a Saturday afternoon and we didn’t feel unsafe at any point. There actually wasn’t very many people around. There were a couple of homeless people, however they weren’t disturbing anyone. They also host a number of events/concerts here.

Fantastic spot, very cool atmosphere. View of the river and park, and outside seating. Great menu, food was faster than expected and it was great! The staff are also top notch! Helpful and friendly. Great spot to check out for a bite and a drink, they even have some Cannabis infused drinks that are also good.

Avenue Eats in Wheeling, WV is easily one of my favorite burger spots in town. Their roasted jalapeño and smoked gouda burger is packed with flavor, and the hand-cut fries with gravy are a must-try. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back, with a cool interior design and a beautiful river view that makes it stand out. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which just adds to the experience. I even did a full video showcasing them recently because it’s the kind of local gem I’m proud to share. As part of Remax Broadwater: Team WolfePack, I love pointing people toward places like Avenue Eats that make Wheeling such a great place to live.

I got the poutine burger, and it was delicious. The fries were fresh cut and crispy, not one bit soggy. The cupcakes were a bit boring for 4 bucks a piece but tasted fine. It's an open area atmosphere and kind of loud at times but not bad. I'll definitely be going back.

Having never been there before, we were slightly confused about the seating/ ordering process at first. We were told to seat ourselves and did, but soon realized we would need to order at the window before seating ourselves, lol! So, if its your first trip...order at the window, all beverages at the bar, then seat yourself. Staff was incredibly friendly, food was delicious and very laid back atmosphere. The place was clean and inviting. Loved the river view as well!

Beautiful building and atmosphere. I ordered the Caprese chicken salad and my husband ordered the poutine burger. You order your drinks and food separately. And pick up your drinks at the bar. Then they bring your food out to you. The food was decent we both felt that the dishes were lacking flavor though. Overall a decent spot.

Great food, great service, never disappoints. Personal fave is sloppy Joe (add cheddar) and Classic Burger. I like to grab a soda from the bar and eat outside by the river. An absolute local treasure & generous business often giving back to the community in quiet & profound ways. Highly recommend.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy good food alongside the artisan experience in one convenient location.

Good Mansion Wines, located in the 1846 Mansion Museum, is a charming destination that offers an array of experiences. The museum itself showcases an impressive collection of American decorative arts and provides educational programs and special events. As the first accredited museum in West Virginia listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it celebrates Wheeling history and the Oglebay family legacy.
You must stop and check this place out! The cutest old mansion that has been turned into a one-stop shop for imported cheeses, meats, wines, pantry goods, freshly baked items, and delicious Italian coffee. We asked for a charcuterie board and ordered espressos and sat in the front room watching the rain through the big windows. It was such a lovely visit. If I lived in Wheeling I would be here at least one a week . . . but honestly probably much more 😆

Wheeling is one of the most subtly beautiful places. I was born here and love returning to spend time with family. Wine is also a passion of mine. Good Mansion Wines combines the two in perfect fashion. The shop itself is a treasure. I don't think I have ever bought wine in a prettier place. This of course makes the browsing and ambience incredible. The selection is terrific - real care and intentional curation were taken in the varieties you'll find here. Echézeaux Gand Cru next to Côtes du Rhônes (my most recent visit had me purchasing a great bottle of Chateau de Saint Cosme "Les Deux Albion" which was great (and a great value)), a great selection of Barolos and other treasures of Piemonte, and Italy in general, and just a tremendous and well-selected variety. I could peruse and hang out here for a very long time. I like how they have their wine organized, separating Old World from New, but since the old house is so wonderful to wander through you get to experience different and wonderful rooms full of shelves of some great wine. I truly think this place a real treasure. When you are in this wonderful city, make sure Good Mansion Wines is one of your stops.

It's like stepping into Italy when you walk inside. Well, kind of! The smells are amazing. I had the flan and some coffee. Both were excellent!!! And the amount of imported products from Italy is amazing and interesting. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't been.

Before our trip to Wheeling yesterday, I did a quick Google search to find a bakery and saw a listing for Good Mansion Wines. It sounded cool, so we added it as a stop for our visit. Imagine my surprise when we pulled up and there was a literal red carpet stretched out from the building! The inside of the house (yes, it's inside a house) is exquisite, very classy and inviting. When you first walk in, you're greeted immediately with a very large wine selection. If you keep moving toward the back of the building, you'll find an amazing cheese selection. They also sell condiments & jarred/tinned items like jams, jellies, peppers, anchovies, mustards, etc. Beyond that, a small yet might bakery offers delicious desserts, homemade bread (that they use to make sandwiches) and fresh pasta. There are numerous imported items also available for purchase. Good Mansion Wines is an absolute must as a place to stop if you're visiting Wheeling. We will definitely be back!

This place was a gorgeous gem! They have actual French chef's and the food reflects this fact. There literally isn't anything I wouldn't recommend.

West Virginia Independence Hall, originally constructed as a customs house in 1860, played a significant role in the statehood campaign. This striking sandstone structure housed the Wheeling Custom House, post office, and federal court before West Virginia was recognized as a state. It served as a venue for heated political debates and constitutional convention sessions that eventually led to West Virginia's statehood in 1863.
The staff was so friendly and helpful! Also, the displays were absolutely gorgeous! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area that loves history ❤️

I was the only person touring, and the staff were very nice and friendly. They asked if I wanted to watch a 15 minute documentary, made sure to let me know the layout of the building with elevators/bathrooms/what each floor had, and stopped to explain the history of the main rooms. My favorite part was the documentary, learning about the court room area, and the make your own flag room! I bought postcards from the giftshop.

I'm passionate about history. I despised it in primary school, but now, I cannot get enough. When I go to places like Independence Hall, it warms my heart. The people who have taken such time and care to restore and preserve historic sites such as this one deserve great accolade. This is the site of West Virginia's birth, and they do a great job of telling the story. In addition you will find beautiful antique pieces throughout. This building is beautifully restored. The museum is FREE. The staff were very friendly, and the gift shop is definitely one of the most affordable. Travel tip: there is free parking in a small lot next to the building if you are visiting.

Place is clean and nice inside. Lot of newer slot machines. Unfortunately NO machines were hitting or even giving play time for the money. Quick way to loose an easy few hundred dollars in 2 hours. Probably wouldn't go back for quite a while, long while. I like places that even if you're loosing at least you get some free spins or win a few coins to keep playing. That didn't happen here, more taking than giving.

The maintenance on this place is severely lacking. Wallpaper peeling off the walls, paint coming off, fixtures broken in the bathroom, stained carpets. Sink and bathtub don't drain, so you're taking a shower in dirty water. Can't brush your teeth and wash your face at the same time because the basin will overflow. This is in a lot of review, so they just don't care. Casino is dirty. Ashtrays overflowing, thousands of empty drinks laying around everywhere. This is the stingyest casino around in terms of comps. On the bright side the staff is helpful and friendly and overall just great. But this place wants to take your money and give you nothing in return. I can't recommend wheeling island and i won't be back.

KFC, the iconic restaurant chain, is renowned for its mouthwatering buckets of fried chicken and a variety of combo meals that include delicious sides. One standout item is their 10-piece Saucy Nuggets, which are perfectly complemented by the honey garlic sauce—a delightful blend of sweetness with a spicy kick. The Classic Chicken Sandwiches are another must-try; they arrive hot and crispy every time, making them a favorite among fans of crunchy chicken.

Got food there on 8.4.25. We went through the drive thru. No customers in the store. Placed our order, paid for it, went home. At home I discovered that my order was wrong and stale. My fries had to come from the very bottom of the last batch, fried the day before. The biscuit was hard and I got crispy, instead of original! There was confusion at the checkout, but a young lady came to the window and settled the issue! The only thing that was done to satisfaction was the coleslaw! Better off going to Chic Fil A!

DiCarlo's Pizza in Wheeling is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Ohio Valley cuisine. This quick-service eatery offers a delightful selection of pizzas, salads, and hot sandwiches in a relaxed setting. The story of DiCarlo's dates back to the late 1800s when the DiCarlo family immigrated from Italy and began their journey with an Italian grocery store known for its exceptional bread.
Fantastic pizza!! similar to a place at home, but thinner and more of a crunch! Fantastic spot. If you go at lunch, order ahead. I waited 20-25 minutes for 3 slices, plain. I'm glad they dont use too much sauce, the crunchy crust and the cold cheese are the stars!!

Classic pizza shop with a unique style of pizza. Great service ordering at the counter with the pizza served in boxes. Plenty of parking in the lot or on the side of the street out front. Good value for delicious pizza. The crunch of the crust is so satisfying as is the freshness of the grated cheese served cold on top.

I was visiting my daughter today at OSU & happened to walk by this pizza shop! The same pizza shop “Di Carlo’s” that I ate as a child when visiting my grandparents in Wintersville. Was curious to see if anything had changed over 30+ years and it was exactly how I remembered, even better! Everything fresh & the crispy crust is so Delicious!!! Got it as a take & bake since I had a 2 hour drive with it. Thanks Nick ! I’ll be back for sure!

DiCarlo's Pizza is a local favorite for good reason. Their pepperoni rolls are absolutely delicious - perfect for a quick lunch or snack - and everything is very affordable. Plus, it's conveniently within walking distance from my office, which makes grabbing a bite super easy. Beyond the food, the staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a great experience. I also appreciate how they've supported my Air Force Recruiting efforts by allowing me to share information with their customers. It's always great to see a local business that cares about both their local community and the people who serve it. Highly recommend stopping by!
