“ I've been coming here for 10+ years, once a year when I'm in the area on a Friday night for their baked steak. This place is a hole-in-the-wall that has been there for over 60 years and has quite the following! Came in yesterday, and they said it was a new beef they were using which the waitresses thought was better. Couldn't really tell a difference, but it was great as always. Some say their mashed potatoes and rolls are instant/frozen, which i could be wrong on, but I'm pretty sure they aren't as they are always fresh, fluffy, and have great flavor. Every year when I'm in town, Diehl's will always be a dinner stop! If I had one complaint it is that when I asked for the fried potatoes, she asked if I wanted them crispy, and I said yes. They weren't really crispy or well done, but still super yummy. (Sode note: My meal with unsweetened tea was about $20, so not bad for the quality and quantity you get.) ”

“ Place an order for takeout food is ready when promised. Very large portions, salads were delicious. ”

“ My family grew up in Nitro and used to eat at this restaurant back in the 60s and 70s. I was recently on a road trip and drove through to see Nitro for myself and they told me I had to stop here. I'm so glad they did! The vibe of the restaurant is so cool, there is something to look at everywhere you turn. Service was super friendly and quick and the food was amazing. My aunt told me a story about the fried sage dressing and it was still on the menu so of course I ordered it and it was so good. My fiance really enjoyed her food too, it was just real good home cooking. It was classic and also unique at the same time. I travel a lot and places like these are rare these days. There is so much history in this place, many aspects of it were exactly as my family described from over 40 years ago. The amount of love and soul in the food is so evident. It is a truly special place. Thank you Diehl's for the awesome food and memories! ”

“ Our group of four stopped in for lunch on our way home from Kentucky back to Virginia. It was an easy stop off the highway. We were seated quickly and the wait staff was great. The food was delicious and came quickly. Very reasonably priced with large portions. The dessert were great as well and they had a very large assortment. I loved how the menu discussed the fact that everything is homemade and made with real ingredients. We would definitely stop in again. ”

“ Diehl's is a must visit, whether passing through or a WV local! I have been working my way through the menu and have never had anything that wasn't well cooked, flavorful, and a large helping! They make their ranch dressing in house and it is deeelicious! You'll want to try a made from scratch pie while you're there. You can order hot rolls by the dozen for family dinners, too- and they are a hit! The staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick with service. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but worth it! ”

“ Diehl's serves home cooking in Nitro, WV (just a short drive from Charleston). I have been here mostly on Sundays at lunch, the post-church crowd, and it is always busy, but worth the wait. I recently came for dinner, on a weekday, at 7 pm, and it was so different without the Sunday crowds that I am used to! They have specials every day, conveniently located on a print out, tucked into the menu. I dont think I have ever ordered anything off the actual menu! My bf's family (who are from WV) like the baked steak and fried chicken livers (which are very good, actually! And the plate is loaded!) I have had the trout, and most of the other fish dishes and the pork chops - all very good. Each dish comes with 2 sides, which differ every day also (sage dressing (which is like a fried dollop of stuffing), corn, cole slaw, baked beans, baked apples, mashed potatoes, salad (which r simple, chopped lettuce, a few radishes, tomatoes, and white onion, the homemade ranch dressing is great.) U get a choice of rolls or corn bread, I love the rolls, they r so soft! And the pie selection is endless--- PB chocolate pie, coconut cream pie, cheesecake, etc and they too, change every day. The decor is what makes this place unique. Every inch of the walls is covered with something, license plates, crossbows, engine parts, gun parts, toys, black and white pictures of family members, etc. it is layered in history. More recently, they put out large posters of pictures of customers with santa claus, each labeled with a year, 2006, 2007, etc. Locals have been coming for years, u can tell. Lots of MawMaws and PawPaws come. There is a small bar u can eat at too, old school with attached swivel bar stools This is probably one of the unique places to eat in WV. They serve food, the locals have grown up with, their whole life. I would bring friends, visiting out of town, here, to experience the warmth and friendliness of West Virginians, in addition, to their yummy home style cooking. Highly recommend, even to just look round and maybe get some pie, to go. ”
