At the base of Spruce Knob sits an unassuming little restaurant called Gateway Family Restaurant (or just Gateway Restaurant). If you’re not paying attention, you might accidentally drive right on past it…but if you take the time to pop in for a visit, you’ll realize that you’ve discovered one of West Virginia’s hidden treasures.

Gateway Family Restaurant in Riverton, West Virginia, is nestled in a beautiful valley at the base of Spruce Knob.

Spruce Knob is the highest point in the state and a popular hiking destination.
As you might imagine, just the view from the front porch (which you can enjoy from the comfort of an old fashioned wooden rocker) merits a trip to Gateway.

But a good meal can make a good view even better... and Gateway's delicious, homecooked food does just that.
