Sean Pittman

Great experience and definitely worth the so to rest and eat on long trips. The varied menu was accommodating to all 11 people in our party. The food was good and the service was divine. They really made us all feel welcomed. Nice little store for kitchy things. And great prices on food and store items. The decor was quite nice too, I would recommend looking around the restaurant.

Christina Danley

Older country style restaurant that’s been a the community since 1980. Food is simple home cooked fare that can be very hit or miss. Tonight was a hit. We ordered the Sunday special baked steak with mashed potatoes and green beens, and the farm hand skillet. The baked steak was tender and a nice size portion. The gravy was really thick. The mashed potatoes are pretty standard and the green beans were well seasoned. The skillet consisted of eggs, sausage, shredded potatoes, peppers and onions. All was good and we left happy. We have always had nice servers that aren’t overly attentive, they let you have your space, which is fine for us. Most of the clientele are 60+. The kind of place you go when you want to be reminded of your great grandparents.

We love eating breakfast here! It reminds me a lot of eating breakfast at home. The food has that homemade taste. The staff here are super sweet and on the ball. They also have a cool little gift shop with some neat things in it. I haven't really had anything other than the breakfast there so I can't weigh in on the other food.

Shaun Holcomb

We stopped here due to a long history of one of our party members eating at this restaurant with his parents growing up. This can, at times, be deceiving because of nostalgia, however this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was great and the service was fantastic. The price isn’t horrible for a sit down country meal. Try the baked steak or the chicken fried steak.

Sissy Johnson

We absolutely love Hardings. The food is always so great and the portions are large!! If you come here and don't get full, there is something wrong. The chicken fried steak is amazing. The pancakes are huge! And the chopped grilled chicken salad was out of this world. And when you visit, ask for Missy. She is phenomenal!!

Matt Clark

The atmosphere is a straight copy of a Ames department store dinner from 1985. It is absolutely delightful and brings back fond memories of visiting my grandmother who was a waitress there. The food is just as nostalgic with rich aromas of crispy burgers, fries, milkshakes and pancakes. Everything you would expect to find from a 1980's dinner. The staff is always bustling but never too busy to shoot you a smile and fill your glass. This place is a time capsule that deserves your visit and its preservation.

Brenda Tuckwiller

Wow! Good job, Kanawha County Health Department! First time here since COVID. I missed the good food. What I did NOT miss was the previous lack of cleanliness, clutter, unprofessional, rude and boisterous, loud, constantly yelling staff, as well as that kind of loud, ride customers (usually yelling loudly with the waitresses and with each other while sitting at the lunch counter), the male cooks who appeared to need clean clothes and hair/facial hair contained or pulled back, and the heavy, putrid smoke smell from the time you entered the restaurant. Now apparently restaurant has been given orders to be cleaned, is quiet, (most of) staff trying to be much more professional and food still good. No smoking signs around eating area. Of course prices are significantly higher, and there is nothing of interest in the Gift Shop any more—it is almost empty. Just a few candles and leftover trinkets. But congratulations to the nice lady that runs the restaurant. What an amazimg transformation! I will share the news of the nicer environment with my colleagues and friends who have not been back recently. It is like a different place!

Becky Emery

I ordered the Haddock. It was excellent. Baked potato was huge, salad just the right size. And she talked me into pie, the cherry was excellent. I was a guest at the Sleep Inn next door and if you’re staying there then Hardings will deliver to you. The food was yummy and the service was fast. Definitely worth it.

Josh Ingold

I’ve stayed at the hotel behind them numerous times but I usually get in late and leave early so I never had the chance to eat there until this trip. The food was great as was the service. I had the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and dinner rolls. Everything was delicious and I’ll definitely make a point to arrived early/leave late enough so I can eat there at least once every time I’m staying at the hotel on my future work trips!

Anzu Nakadai

First time eating here. My fiance recommended eating here since the restaurant is on the way leaving Charleston. Got the battered haddock, and the fish is amazing with the given Worcestershire sauce. Such a cozy place as well. I felt most of my stress go away.

Ericka

Great food, fast & friendly service, great prices, very clean facility and love the gift shop. Just as good as it was when I was a kid. Thank You!!

South

We arrived at 6:30 pm when they were busy. We were lucky and got seated in 5-10 min.

Teresa Mack

Nice family restaurant. There is a good mix of locals ans travelers that frequent this establishment. The food is tasty, home cooked, and served up piping hot! The waitstaff are friendly and hospitable. There is a small store in the front area. The decor is a bit dated, but it feels homey. I had the liver and onions and my husband had a breakfast skillet. Both were quite tasty.

Chris East

Researched places to visit for food in WVA before our trip. This place really stood out and was looking forward to it. Parking was difficult as the restaurant was very busy. Upon entering there was a line and wait. I asked the hostess what the wait was. She didn't know. I asked it it would be an hour but she said no, I don't think so. We started to wait but the line was moving very slow. I suspect the wait was 45 mins to an hour if not longer. There was a nice gift shop area but it was packed because of the wait. After waiting 10 minutes we decided to leave because we were very hungry. I can't say anything bad other than the hostess should have an idea of wait time. I was looking forward to the meal but I will try again!!!!

Leah Layne

I used to take my pool league here only if we won ,,great memories..Right we went everytime someone could afford it.. I'll need forget are server she's had of birthdays lol she use to me don't walk through those doors drunk,,SO I crawled 🤣

Omg it's Siggles

Amazing experience. These roadside restaurants are a dying breed. Personable staff. Great pancakes. Definitely worth a visit.

Lexi Hubbard

Passing through from Florida to Ohio! The food, atmosphere, and staff was absolutely AMAZING!!! Shout-out to our waitress ANNA, she was great!! Definitely a MUST try!! the flavors and taste of all the food we order was like Grandma's home cooking!!!

Adrian May

This place was awesome. The service was prompt and our server was very friendly. The food was like home cookin'. We're likely going to turn into regulars here.

Moe Altazan

Friendly. Clean. I am still getting used to food uo here. Got the side dish dinner, or the vegetable plate as we call it down South. Food comes, looks great. And tasted exactly like veggies with no salt or pepper or butter added while cooking. I admit I added some of each to what was appropriate. Now, the blueberry pie!!! That was wonderful!! I will probably go back when I am here for work. Just have to being some garlic!

Adam Brock

3 because the service we received was a 5 but the food was a 1. Not bad prices for sure, so that made it better. The fish I had was not good, the tarter sauce tasted funny and the coleslaw was awful. May have been the way the coleslaw was made but i did not care for it. The fries were actually good though. The chicken tenders were some of the worst I have ever had. I am not a picky person and will eat almost anything, but should have passed on this one.

Phillip Cain

Friendly service. It took about 30 minutes for breakfast to be served, so factor that in! All the food was good, but the French toast was not the best.

tractor 289

This little restuarant is certainly my favorite place to go when I need some homestyle cooking! Great food and great people! Definitely reccomend!

Tracy Barker

Good fresh food, excellent service, nice atmosphere and clean. Great family restaurant.

Charlie Medford

Great family food and atmosphere.... Their chicken fried steak is pretty tasty

sazz Itude

Stopped here on my way home to Ohio to meet up and see my dad. Food was good but service leaves alot to be desired. Items not brought to table, drinks not refilled in timely fashion, and waited 15 min for our waitress to stop at table to ask for check and another 15 min only for her to return to pick it up only to realize she never brought it to us.

Tammy Deavers

A really good family owned restaurant. Lots of options to chose from. Breakfast served all day. Would definitely go back.

nonnya business

They have a sign telling you to wait to be seated. It took about 10mins to be seated due to having to wait for the middle aged cashier to finish chit-chatting. Regular customers, however, just walked in and sat themselves.The wait for our order was too long. The chicken breast ordered was small and dry. Apparently the milkshakes are good.

Travis

Great service, great value for the price. Established in 1980 and still seems to be almost the same as the day it was built, great atmosphere.

Dave Cooper

We have been eating here for almost 20 years. The food is always good, prices reasonable and service fine

Jake

Stopped by here on our way through. We got the fried chicken dinner with green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn bread. Chicken was good, green beans and mashed potatoes tasted like they were from a hospital cafeteria: edible but not what I was expecting. The potatoes tasted like boxed potatoes and thre gravy looked and tasted also like a mix. The beans had little flavor and were mushy like canned green beans. We also got 3 pies: coconut cream, apple, and graham cracker. They were all good, but not amazing.

Anna Kormanova

Missy was the best! Cozy, family restaurant with great menu options. Would certainly return!

Cliff Lear

Our waitress was top notch, exceptionally friendly, good down home food. The portions were large and the prices were reasonable. They serve all day breakfast and I would definitely recommend the pancakes, as big as the plate and extra fluffy.

Ron Nelson

Called in my order to pick along my way home from work. My order was done before the predicted time, so very fast service. Price was a little steep for a grilled chicken salad but it is pretty filling and tasty, so not the end of the world. Fries are crinkle cut, but I loved them. No burnt fries, perfectly prepared. Highly recommended.

mark merrion

Not a jersey diner but the food was good and service was great

Ronald Summers

everything fine except couldn't find the beef in Vegatable Beef soup

Terry McCoy

The food was great, but the service was hit or miss. It took nearly 20 minutes to be seated after they said it would be 2-3 minutes. I will definitely be back though!

Sandra Gibson

This is my husband's favorite restaurant. He and his friends always go here for their monthly car club get togethers. Also it's their favorite breakfast place. The food is tasty and is country cafe style. Atmosphere is homey. Waitresses are great.

Bill Matthews

We weary travelers were their last customers of the night. They welcomed us right in. The food was delicious and the portions were enough even for me.

Vallarie Smith

The service was exceptional and the food was great! We live 2 hrs from there and was just passing thru and decided to stop. We were very pleased. I would recommend this place to anyone driving thru this area to stop and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Loretta Lynn

I haven't had service like this in years our waitresses name was Debbie she was very polite she asked us what we wanted to drink as we looked at the menu she brought our coffee to us took our orders she immediately brought out our salads and kept our coffee cups full we was halfway through our salads and she brought out our food as we were eating she kept checking on us the food was very delicious and we even had dessert. I do recommend eating here and I hope your experience is as good as ours was . I'm very grateful to people like Debbie and all the staff at the Harding's restaurant . 5/2/2021

Mike Ellison

Waitress was great food was good rather long wait on the food but we didn't care. The cheesecake was a little frozen when it came out but was good.

LOWCOUNTRY HDRIDER

Fantastic food and staff were friendly. We will definitely stop on our next trip through the area!

LDC 68

Good food, great service.

Tamara Neal

My husband had been here before while traveling and wanted to bring me here. I was a little disappointed in the service. Maybe just an off day. I am willing to stop by again as we travel through.

Connie Hamilton

We stopped by while visiting Charleston today. It was a very pleasant experience dining in a nice atmosphere after a long stressful day. The service provided was top notch and the food was was quite delicious. Definitely give them a try.

Lisa Kerr

There food is the BEST!!! Service was good. Gotta love their home cooked meals.

christy conley

I have been eating at this family style restaurant for several years and 90% of the time service is outstanding. I say that because we have had not so great service and if that happens to you please give it another try. The food is delicious and mostly traditional comfort meals. Be prepared they can get busy, but overall it is worth the wait, especially the homemade (not frozen) pies...if you have room after the large portion meals :)

SEA

The waitresses here make it a worth while experience and the food is usually quite good plus not bad for affordability l! Also a shout out to Mimi AkA Missy, she is top notch!!

Chris C

Local staple of the community for over two decades. Good food and good atmosphere, the staff are great and you see the same familiar smiling faces here. They take pride in everything the do and it really shows.

D. Ace

Very nice atmosphere, relaxing and I Applaud them doubly for having Beef liver on the menu, that's a very nutrient dense food, healthy for you . The flavors were decent, staff low energy which isn't their fault I'm sure, got my order wrong but it tasted good and was relaxing, mom and pops style

Abby Witkowski

My family and I have been going to this restaurant every year for the past six or seven years, and it still has yet to disappoint. Their pancakes are phenomenal every time we go and same with the omelets. The staff is always very kind and welcoming. Great place to have a home style meal!!

Missi Reason

Just had a nice lunch here with my sis and nephew. Waitress was nice and professional. The food was good. We had the Roasted turkey dinner and the Club sandwich. The restroom was clean and well stocked with soap, tp and towels.

sherry macdonald

I've always loved Harding's because the food and service are phenomenal! They even have a room for parties and conferences. I don't know the restrictions during COVID, but they do offer inside dining. The foods are served hot and fresh at a very reasonable price.

Kimberly Pozzi

We came in on a Sunday at the peak of the busy time. We were created and seated in a very short time. The wait staff and our waitress were Friendly curious and fast in taking our order, clearing our dishes and refills. The food was fantastic and a great change from what were use to having in our small town area. We will definitely be coming back.

Lori Rose

This was a spur of the moment "splurge" that was more than worth the 30 mile round trip, even with current gas prices. Can't wait until my next visit!

Harry Moran

Good down home food. A little high on a few things for the value, but all in all a good place to take friends and family. The Reuben sandwich there is very good. Their homemade chili is very good too, but a small serving for the money. The waitress we had the evening was a wonderful friendly person and she made the evening even better for our family dinner.

Sharon Garnes

These owners of Harding's are my relatives and I'm very proud of them But the food was not as good as it used to be but service was fantastic.

Donna Davis

Wonderful place to eat. Downhome country cooking with delicious, generous portions. The staff is always courteous. My husband and I always enjoy eating here. You have to try the Wilted Lettuce Salad. It's great!

michael query

This looks like a great experience. The country fried steak was out this world. All sides were very good and fresh. This place has a grassroots feel of all the huge chains like cracket barrel or Perkins but with a discreet West Virginia charm. Service was top notch. Anna and Sarah were wonderful.. see all gone. Pecan pie was alright.

Christopher Alberto Comendal

We had awesome brunch there with my family. Lots of choices. Prices are reasonable.

Jerry McMeans

My family has enjoyed Hardings for many years. Great servers and food consistently good. Great old fashioned meals in a great atmosphere.

Lovell Facemire

Great restaurant featuring homestyle meals, breakfast all day, daily lunch and dinner specials. Convenient to I-79. Service is normally really good. If patron has food allergy ask for manager....she's (Mary) very knowledgeable and will prepare the meal herself to avoid x-contamination and allergy ingredient. We go every week!

Samantha Luciano

Service is always nice and friendly. Myself and 2 others usually eat here almost every weekend after we finish running. I've never had a complaint about the food.

Elizabeth Howard

This restaurant has been an area go-to place for decades. Whether eating solo, with a few friends or in a large group, the accommodations fit. There's a eating bar area or small table seating if you want to dine alone, booths and larger tables for small groups and banquet tables in a separate wing for large groups and private parties. The prices are reasonable, with lunch specials and many regular menu items for less than $10 a person, and that includes your drink. All seating is served by friendly and helpful wait staff, so no fast food feel or atmosphere. I had the turkey and dressing special and my lunch partner had the soup. Both were country cooked, tasty and served quickly to accommodate lunch schedules. Their breakfast foods are well known also, and the restaurant is always populated with customers during most all hours of operation. In my years as a patron, I cannot remember waiting more than a few minutes to be seated. In the event that you must wait a few minutes, those can be well spent browsing in the adjoining gift shop where you will find something for most anyone and a selection of greeting cards and post cards to share with someone special. I highly recommend you give Harding's Restaurant a try.

Ted Griffin

Very friendly staff . Even the customers were friendly . The food was good and reasonably priced. I would definitely return the next time I'm in West Virginia.

Wendy Bernard

Great atmosphere, good food and attentive wait staff. Great country setting feeling. This is another place I try to visit when I'm in the area. The gift shop has lots of items available . I've never had to wait long for a table on the rare occasions there was a line. Food is cooked to perfection and more than I could easily eat in one sitting.

Shelia Williams

Always a friendly atmosphere with great food and service. Home cooking to satisfy any appetite with awesome desserts. Plenty of parking just off I-79 (exit 1) with big motel next door. Driving distance within five minutes to down town Charleston. Highly recommend!! 💕 …

Lucas Coffey

Great light lunch of a hot ham & cheese sandwich with French fries. My mom had a gigantic Ruben.

Chris Hand

Very nice. Downhome country cooking

Jessica Manriquez

My western omelet was amazing. Star our server was a woot.

Bob Moore

This is a really nice family-friendly place to eat. A variety in the tried & tasty menu makes this one of my favorite lunch & dinner spots. Their kitchen staff is outstanding as the servers are. Worth TEN stars if you have that many!

Logan McFarland

Fantastic breakfast as always from Harding's this morning. Wife had the French toast and I had their Farm Hand Special skillet. Great place for a family dinner.

Denise Saunders

Excellent home cooking and a wonderfully friendly staff! Very easy off and on interstate 79 at Mink Shoals exit and right next door to Sleep Inn, it's about as convenient as it can be. My mother and I both agreed the food could use a bit more salt, but that's a matter of taste.

Don Johnson

Stopped for breakfast this morning on the way north on I-79. Very good home cooked food. Pancakes were great (very large). Could not eat it all. Had to get a to go box. Our waitress, "Morning" Star, was super! Kept the coffee cups filled... very helpful and accommodating.

Barbara Anderson

I had country fried steak and gravy. Mashed potatoes. Real. And broccoli n hot roll. Mom had roast beef n mashed potato n coleslaw. Little gravy. Different than mine. Sis had their jumbo shrimp with corn n roll. She really liked it. Other sis had their pinto bean dinner. beans weren't that good. W hash browns n cornbread. Mine was good.

Melodie Haynes

Homey atmosphere! Love the wilted lettuce salad. I am addicted to it! My husband is a hotdog expert and he loves your hotdogs, rated them 9 out of 10. Almost perfect! We will be back again and again!

Michael Wodnicki

Local family-owned restaurant with a variety of dishes...something for virtually everyone. The service was great with friendly wait staff checking on us regularly. We all enjoyed everything we ordered. We will they the daily specials next trip.

Tara Hershberger

We have been frequent patrons for over 20 years! Hubby ALWAYS orders the Hungry Man breakfast which has been consistently satisfactory. Good variety of menu items. Ranch dressing so yummy that we preorder and by it by the pint! Fast, friendly service. Love it!

Henry Rogers

Been stopping in there since I was 9 years old one of my family's favorite places to eat . And Sunday morning there is busy but nothing better than after a long church service stopping in to get completely food drunk and drinking thier awesome coffee to keep awake. They always ask would you like dessert as you sit there in sweats from there amazing food knowing one more bite would surely kill you lol . So what do I do ...but one of thier whole homemade pies to eat after a long sunday afternoon nap . Best days i can remember growing up included eating here .

MrBolt

My father was a big fan of this place, I had not been back since his passing in 2001. Took my wife and baby this weekend, great food, friendly staff, just yes yes and yes. Go eat here.

Kristen Butcher

I have been coming to this place since I was a kid. Food is always delicious and perfect, service is excellent. 10/10 would recommend, even if it is a bit "out of the way."

Gary Sevy

Great homestyle cooking. I hadn't been here in 20 years because we moved away. Glad I didn't miss out on my last visit to Charleston. Had the baked steak special. Fork tender with good brown gravy.

RC Hazzard

I haven't eaten here in 15 years and its all I could think about today when I knew I had to drive past the Mink exit. The service is amazing, the food is down home and my server( Marina) was delightful. Good lord knows we need more places like this in the world because new chains aren't better than an old favorite!

Danielle McCray

They generally don’t allow you to swap a daily special soup and sandwich for non-meat options if it’s not the ‘daily special’. But the manager allowed the swap after I explained my food restrictions. (Tomato soup and grilled cheese). Great service. Great food.

Rob&Amy Taylor

40yrs and still in business, that should speak for itself! We frequent for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Certain to find something yummy 😋

Shelia Williams

Great family atmosphere and food is delicious. Ordered shrimp and baked potato. Our server was pleasant and thoughtful with checking back. Be sure get there by 8:00 pm ~ they close at 9:00 pm.

Todd Williams

Your typical home-style faire. I usually sit at the bar, especially if they are busy. The servers have always been friendly and helpful. Food runs the gamut here. Everything from seafood to beans and cornbread (which happens to be my favorite!) Love the coleslaw here also, and the pies are all great. If home cooking type food is what you're searching for, I'd give Harding's a shot!

Seth Gregg

Great customer service. Great food. A little on hi end with their prices but I would recommend this place to any one and I will continue to visit frequently. Also very family friendly .

Ivan Gillispie

My wife and I have eaten at Harding's for several years. Today we both got a barbecue and french fries. The barbecue was very small and the French fries we're not fresh and we're cool and seem like they must have set in the kitchen for a good while. It is a pleasant atmosphere and you have plenty of time to sit and talk after you have eaten your meal. They have a very nice gift shop.

james Scott

Had wonderful meal of country steak! Very good service and food. No wonder it has been open so many years!

Terri Maynard

Always like sitting down to a family dinner everyone so very friendly. we have been stopping there for the past 8 years. always look forward to a home cooked meal. and sweet employees. looking forward to next year's visit..

Diane Midkiff

Service was good,took a few mins for someone to seat us but server was super nice. Food could have been a little hotter but other wise wasn't bad

David Rogers

Always great food and service at a fair price. Stop every time we are in the area and so do our family and friends...its a tradition. The hot fudge cake is famous !

Carolyn Cantley

Food was good. My waitress went on break and I felt deserted. Evidently no one was covering her area as my tea cup was empty until she returned. The #'s for the Open House drawing were not audible in the dining room.

Darrell Jennings

Visited this morning after a long absence from attending. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant had been remodeled and appears to have a fresh outlook on customer service. I'm glad I gave this restaurant another try. Good food and reasonable prices.

Ronald Kragnes

Old school diner with a gift shop. Food was good. I recommend the pancakes. The Ruben was decent. Staff is very nice. Overall, good place.

Greg Harkins

Good food and good service been hurting too many times and never had a bad meal selections great good home cooking feel good food service is amazing it's like stepping back in time when you go into the restaurant very nostalgic

Amy Loring

I went with my friends from church. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food and the good service and each other's company. I would enjoy going again sometime.

Larry Wigal

Great home cooked food. Has been a good place to eat for more than 40 years.

Grace Duncan

Great place never go on Sunday unless you get there before the Church crowds. Seating is small because they have the best tasting food. Your food is prepared exactly as you ordered it. Everyone is friendly and smiles.

Sean Corron

Harding's food is always decent, with the standout being the amazing wilted lettuce salads which has a truly regional flavor. You will not find another like it. This is a family, home-cooking restaurant which is worth dropping off the highway for, especially if you're tired of the chain franchise joints.

Jennifer Kinowski

Best pancakes around my and friendliest staff!

Melissa Wilson

Always loved this place growing up. Hadn't been in over 5 years. Other than it taking a good time to get our food it was a good time.

Charles Struble

Steak entrées were mixed-up only discovered after cutting into the steaks. Food was served warm. Not enough staff for the volume of customers.

Jake Debord

Great meal and wonderful service

David Cecil

Nice country restaurant, very relaxed atmosphere, awesome food with ample amounts, too!

Roy Baker

The food was delicious, well worth the trip there. The price was very reasonable and the service was friendly and efficient. The waitress was so cordial with a sense of humor. We will recommend Hardings and we will return.🤗 …

Cameron Spradling

My favorite local restaurant. I grew up just down the road, and I remember coming here every Sunday after church and usually one night during the week when they had good specials going. Definitely has a homemade taste.

Annika Brown

All the food was amazing! Service was also really good I recommend coming here if you havent

Stephanie Collins

If you like country food you have to stop at this place the food is absolutely delicious. You won't find anything else like it here in West Virginia. Also definitely check out the gift shop as well in the front like I said very nice place must stop if you're passing through

Heather Parks

Wonderful home cooked food just like my grandma. Desserts are amazing and fresh. I have had just about everything on the menu and I have always left so full.

Eric E. Hurley

Nice atmosphere polite staff did very well we had a large party and one waitress Kate handled it all I believe we had 17 guests at our table. Would highly recommend and will return.

Ashley Williams (ScorpiGem)

Not much seemed to actually be homemade. Spent $20 on one meal, $10 seemed to be more fitting. Packaged gravy, powdered lemonade, instant mashed potatoes, "country" green beans were bland, no bacon in them at all. Atmosphere was okay but it freezing from the air conditioning. Will not return until I hear of you actually getting your money's worth.

Christopher Coulter

Prices went up and quality went down ...disappointed

Cynthia Merrion

Average family tour place with average food

Mark Hunter

Not good. coffee was 3 dollars and it was not good. Waitress said the cook messed up and made an extra pancake and told us it was free. But she lied it was 3 dollars as well. On the other hand the food was all cooked to what we wanted and was good.

Judith Skidmore

Got orders to go. 1 breakfast and 1 baked steak. Steak coating was a little tough. Gravy was delicious in breakfast and on steak. Probably would have been okay eating in. Not so good reheating later.

Daryn Kingsborough

The fried chicken was good. The mashed potatoes could use a little more butter and spices but overall a cute place. Good food and decent prices !

A Mullins

We love this place and eat here quite often. Good home cooked meals and the servers are all great!

Anna and Pug

I will always love stopping here! I highly recommend coming here like I can't recommend it enough! Food and staff are awesome, it's my favorite place to stop at. It was my first meal of 2020!

James

Visiting from Florida. Great food and excellent service. Get the pancakes, you won’t regret it. Grits were amazing too.

Brent Padgett

It was GREAT! I recommend anyone to go to Harding's. I see some critical reviews though, but that is just their opinions. The wilted leaf salad was AMAZING, if you stop by there I say you should get it!

Leslie Williams

Delicious food, amazing pancakes and friendly service. Highly recommend you stop in.

Joey Kay

I mean it’s home cooked food can you really go wrong. Seasoning is a little bland but I think they just don’t want to go overboard. Food is always good.

Carolyn M

Food was delicious. Service was great. Clean! Saw the waitress cleaning after a customer left and felt better about being there!

Matthew Harper

This is a local favorite and I've been going to here since I was a child, now I take my children. They have some of the best meals around and the staff has always been friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Bill Bell

Stayed at the Sleep Inn next door and noticed Harding's parking lot was always full. Most of the cars had local tags so we decided to give it a try. It's a nice, local, family run restaurant. Nice people, good food and service, reasonable prices, and it's not a cookie-cutter franchise.

Jennifer Jackson

The electric went off while there. Couldn't get drink refills. Had to scrounge up cash cause I had planned on paying with card. Not their fault but no discount for troubles of eating in the dark. Items on menu outside of city very costly. Puts you in the mind of shoneys with the atmosphere.

Chad Klodowski

Always stop here when I travel up that way. Great little restaurant with good service

Jennifer Johnston

This place is fantastic! I came here quite often growing up and now that I have moved back to the area my boyfriend and I eat here about twice a week. Its good country home style cooking with great service!

Terri Breeden

This was my first visit here. I liked the variety of lunch options, the waitress was nice, food ready quickly. Just like grandma used to make. Good pie.

Felicia Krause

Our waitress was great, but the food is just okay. Cute stuff in the store. Would stop again on the way through but nothing to write home about.

Uncrossed Animal

Amazing breakfast have eaten here since I was 6 the staff have always been super kind and normally quick always faster than First watch and not the stupid prices great tasting meals here. SUPER Family friendly

Lydia Wittmann

The food is good and the staff is always super friendly.

Silby Queen

Great place to enjoy homestyle cooking. We stop every time we're in the area to have breakfast, lunch or dinner no matter time of day. Don't forget to grab something neat from the gift shop on your way out!

Chad Magula

A great place to take your grandmother. Food is well priced and delicious. Very clean all around and is in a safe area. Wait times can be long, but not everything can be perfect.

Jackie Keough

The wait staff is wonderful. They all had face coverings on, which was very comforting to me. The food is good down home cooking.

James Marlowe

We stopped on Saturday while traveling to Huntington. The chicken dinner was excellent and a steal at 12.99. Great place to fill up while on the road.

David Sanders

Good food. I love the "wilted" salads and the beans and cornbread. I also love that I can get any item of the menu any time of day (breakfast for dinner, and dinner for breakfast). One of my favorite places to go.

Darren Olofson

Nice, old fashioned restaurant. The menu and decor don't look like they've changed since the 80s, but it's clean, the food is good, and the service is always polite and friendly.

Neavoda Judy

This is an awesome restaurant...just happened find it but will definitely come again when passing through...friendly and their delicious food was just like home cooking!!!! We totally enjoyed our time here and really wish we had something like this at home!!

Kelly Greathouse

Sadly this place has steadily declined over the years. The food and service used to be great. Now the food is hit or miss, honestly. The only consistent thing is the kitchen is usually slow.

Susan Mollohan

Great place to eat. Menu has a great selection of different meals. Love love love their hot fudge cake. 😋 …
