Welcome

There are NO prices on our menu!

You and you alone will decide how much to pay for your meal.  No suggestions and no judgements will be made.

Here are your 3 options ...

1. Pay only what you can afford

2. Pay what the meal is worth to you

3. "Pay it forward" to help someone who is quietly suffering financially

You will be handed an envelope when you order. Deposit your money into the envelope, the amount will be based on the 3 choices above, then put that envelope into one of the 3 mail slots located around the restaurant, what you place in the envelope will be completely private. OR you can choose to pay with a credit card and the amount paid will only be known by you and your cashier.

WHY WOULD WE DO SUCH A CRAZY THING? Please read to the end.

Sometimes God whispers an idea in your ear that challenges your way of thinking and does not necessarily conform to established corporate controlled narratives.  There are many reasons why we are dedicated to this pricing plan.  We did not do this lightly or on a whim. Much thought and prayer went into this decision.

1. Someone who can't afford a quality meal, gets a meal while keeping their pride and dignity intact.

2. Someone who can afford a meal gets a great meal and has the freedom and opportunity to pay a fair price based on what the food and experience is worth to them.

3. It gives those who can pay a little more the opportunity to "pay it forward" to someone who is quietly suffering and help support our unique old-fashioned business model.

Unfortunately, the founding principles of our country have been subverted by money changers, crony corporatism and foreign interests.

We have chosen to put our faith in … God, Our community, “We the people”, Americans, and especially our fellow West Virginians.

We are not rich people, we are not a non-profit, we do not serve donated food nor are we a "soup kitchen".

We spent over a decade building a first-class commercial kitchen with an enormous deck on our family property with our life savings and hard work.  We are a family owned and operated small business that operates on old fashioned American values...

Faith in God, Hard Work, Quality product, Service to others and Strong Community

Life is more than the mindless pursuit of money and material things.  We still must pay bills, pay taxes, buy food, maintain the restaurant equipment and stay compliant with the health dept.

This bold move to operate solely on an honor system is unconventional, but we truly believe that one must take personal responsibility to "Be the change you wish to see in the world” and is simply the right thing to do.

The founding fathers and “The People” of our country had extraordinary courage and faith in one another when they declared independence and wrote our constitution. So, we will have faith in the people as well.
