The Last Run Restaurant is located in Cass, West Virginia, a little off the beaten path, but well worth the effort.
The spacious restaurant is located in the same building as the Cass Company Store (we'll get to the store shortly). Whether you're getting breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can't go wrong with the home-style cookin' found at The Last Run.

The menu includes standard American fare, including burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs, pizza and sandwiches. A menu this varied is sure to have something for everyone.
Of course you could just take a scenic drive over to Cass, then eat at The Last Run, and then leave again. But...
... there are so many things to do while you're in town, you'll probably want to make a day of it! For starters, you could take a ride on the historic Cass Scenic Railroad.
A ride on this historic train is practically a rite of passage for all West Virginians. The railroad is even part of a state park and carries passengers up the mountain to an old lumber town. The train ride also includes a stop at Bald Knob, where you'll get unparalleled views from the third highest peak in the state.
If a train ride isn't in the cards for this trip, then take a stroll through the historic town of Cass. Her signature wooden sidewalks will take you though a journey into the past.
Speaking of the past, you'll want to set aside enough time to explore the enormous Cass Company Store, located adjacent to The Last Run Restaurant.

You'll find anything (and everything) you can possibly dream of in this old company store. In fact, if Cass Company store doesn't have it, then you probably don't need it.
While most people may travel to Cass just to visit the state park and take a ride on the scenic railroad, The Last Run Restaurant is a destination in its own rite. Have you eaten at The Last Run? We'd love to know!
