Archie's Lakehouse
Aug 16, 2009 by Lame from Morgantown

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[10] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Atmosphere. wonderful outside deck!
• Wait staff, and rude manager.

“Amazing specials. When I visit this restaurant that is what I always get. Lets the talent of the chefs shine in ways that they work the best. I do have to say though that the service is the worst or all restaurants in Morgantown. Not only did the service lack major effort, but when I asked to speak to a manager, this guy comes out, and basically tells me that it was our tables fault, and that because of us everyone else's service was going to be miserable. Rude! Not only did we ever ask for anything other than a simple drink refill because we were sitting in the sun and hot, which I hope is understandable, but my god, it shouldn't be hard to refill drinks. But. here I am writing a review instead to get out some anger and to let others know about the lack of effort that the wait staff and manager puts into the restaurant. The owners should really look into finding another manager ASAP!”

Ali Baba Downtown Restaurant

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• The food, service, and atmosphere are all good.
• None.

“I loved Ali Baba's when it was Voyagers and I love it now that it's back to being Ali Baba's. It is a family-owned restaurant. The food is good and there are a couple private tables if you want a more romantic atmosphere. The menu is a variation of American and middle-eastern food and there is always a delicious special or two offered. They have the best Reubens I've ever had and the middle-eastern salads are great. Don't leave without ordering the baklava for dessert if you still have room.”

Puglionis Pasta & Pizza Inc

• Excellent food.
• Nothing.

“Have eaten there several times - food is excellent! Very good to excellent service and the price is quite good. Their bread is out of this world. All pastas are homemade. Can't wait to go back.”

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Everything.
• Restaurant seemed too small and crowded for such a large crowd.

“Have you tried the Pina Coladas? WOW! Now they sure know how to make a drink! Food. Awesome!”

• The margaritas & chips are to die for!
• The floor is slippery.

“It is the best place to go to eat Mexican food in Morgantown! The service is wonderful, and all of the staff was so nice and fun! Try the margaritas.”

• Great food and service.
• Drunks being loud.

“Great food. Great service. Just a couple drunks getting loud slowed down the fun.”

Archie's Lakehouse
Aug 30, 2008 by Foodfiend from Pennsylvania

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Outdoor dining.
• Wait staff (from multiple visits), smoky interior.

“Probably one of the best is Archie's Lake house located next to the Sunset Beach Marina on Cheat Lake neat Morgantown, WV. The menu is slightly above average (if you're a vegetarian, best to go elsewhere) with a decent selection of entrees, sandwiches, salads, etc. at reasonable prices. But where this restaurant loses points (and my business) is with its wait staff. I have not been here when service was not slow and inattentive, and this is why I return only occasionally at the urging of friends. I will have to learn not to listen to these friends, because last evening's 2- hour long dining experience (not a huge multi-course meal, mind you, but sandwiches and two hard-fought-for drinks) was frustrating at best. Yes, the food was good, but the server disappeared for long periods, never being around when drink refills were needed and, worst, when my friend's meal arrived totally wrong and everyone (but she) was done eating before we were able to pin down the location of our waitress. Also, I would never go here when I couldn't be seated outside. An amber haze hangs over the interior dining area and the cigarette smoke makes it difficult to even wait inside for a few minutes to be seated at an outdoor table.”

Archie's Lakehouse

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Fresh sea food specials. Amazing chefs.
• But it is fine dining (not cheap).

“Best place to eat in Morgantown. It has a huge deck right on the lake which is great for summer time, but it has a beautiful dining room too. Great for large parties. The menu has everything and is one of the most original in the town.”

Jays Daily Grind
Jul 23, 2007 by Sinjin from Coeur d'Alene

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Great sandwiches, best-made espresso anywhere, great value.
• Be prepared to have to jockey for space to make order-across from WVU.

“Great window/bar seats to watch the students scurry about. Best value for sandwiches and great food at the same time. I have had espresso prepared all over the world (including the so-called capital of coffee, the Northwest) and is the only place I have been where they adjust the grind for the coffee based on atmospheric pressure. The best espresso anywhere in the world!”

Wings Ole
Sep 24, 2006 by Shannon from Kingwood, WV

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Service was pretty good.
• Food was terrible, management unresponsive to complaints.

“This place was frankly awful. From the outside it looks a little upscale, calling itself a "specialty restaurant". But it's just a college burger joint. The food was terrible. They used that cheap fake bright-yellow plastic "cheese food" sauce on the nachos, instead of real quest. And the wings were small, and cold inside. A complaint emailed to the management yielded a promise to contact us regarding our concerns. We've waited 3 weeks now, but they never got back to us, or even mailed a coupon or anything to get us to give the place another try.”

Rose Restaurant
Aug 9, 2005 by Larry from New York City

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[7]

• BEST ITALIAN FOOD for 150 miles up & down I-79!

“I travel for business and love to sample the local restaurants rather than chains. The local places are usually just OKl. You run into a lot of frozen and canned food rather than fresh, even with places that say "home-made." That's why I'm taking the time to write about Rose in Morgantown, West Virginia, or actually right across a small river in a suburb (?) named Westover. I found WOW an Italian restaurant as good as any trattoria in Manhattan, and at much less the cost especially considering the side-of-beef-size of the portions. I'm a big guy, and I've never been able to finish an entree. The lasagna, the ravioli -- and I never expected to find cracked-pepper pasta. Damn, this food is good! As far as I'm concerned this is the only place along the western-PA i-79 corridor to stop for Italian food. I don't know why i don't read about about it in travel magazines; that's a shame. ”
