There are times when you’re hungry and just about anything will do. That’s when you head for tried-and-true pizza or something from the fridge. But then there are times when you need something truly comforting. That’s when you look to perfectly prepared home-cooked meals in cozy environments. And the best is when someone else is preparing it. We love this German restaurant because it offers all the comforts of home, without having to cook. Plus, there might not be another place with food this good without having to use your passport.
For one of the most authentic German meals you can find in West Virginia, head to the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown. It’s a beautiful resort, but it’s also home to a very special restaurant.

But, of course, while we like the ambiance it’s the food we’re here for! And it’s incredible. What helps it stand out is the sheer authenticity of each dish. This Jagerschnitzel with fall veggies and red cabbage will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a German home.

And, to make things more festive, be sure to stop into the on-site brewery. Bavarian Brothers Brewing offers a brew pub and lounge with six different beers. This is a great place to unwind.
