“Later Alligator.” Is it a childhood hasta la vista to which you respond “After a while, Crocodile”? Well, maybe. But, in West Virginia, at least, it’s more. Much more. It’s also a unique restaurant in Wheeling, West Virginia with the wackiest sense of humor and the most delicious menu in the state – or one of the wackiest, most delicious!
When you step through the doors of Later Alligator, located at 2145 Market Street in Wheeling's Historic Centre Market, what can you expect to find?
Crepes. Homemade soups. Gourmet salads. Paninis. An espresso bar. A beer, wine, and spirits bar. Locally grown ingredients. Witty quips. Welcoming camaraderie.
And get a load of some of these wacky but delicious items on the Later Alligator menu: for crepes, try the See Sam Run crepe (featuring salmon, of course!) or the Crepes of Wrath.
For entrees, are you brave enough for the Sam 'N' Ella wrap? If not, there's always the A-Tuna Mattata sandwich. Or how about some Fowl Play chicken salad?
Even the restaurant's tagline will give you a chuckle. "Eat or we both starve!" No wonder Later Alligator has been voted one of West Virginia's 101 Unique Eateries every time a list has been compiled! Later Alligator is also famous for soup, especially chicken noodle. Visit on $2 Tuesdays to make your lunch or dinner (and drink!) extra affordable.
Later Alligator offers both indoor and outdoor seating, eat in and takeout dining options, live music on special occasions, and more. Swing by for a bite next time you are in the area!
