Fat Eddie’s

No summer vacation in West Virginia is complete without a stop at Fat Eddie’s, a nostalgic roadside ice cream stand with blue surfboards out front and hot dogs on the grill (they sell over 55,000 every season). Start with a bacon cheese dog or chili cheeseburger, then dive into the banana split storm – a milkshake mashup of banana, chocolate, pineapple, and strawberry. Picnic tables and cheerful vibes make it the perfect post-lake pit stop.

A small blue and tan building with a sign reading Fat Eddies at the dam featuring a hot dog and ice cream cone. There’s a menu, an OPEN sign, and an orange traffic cone outside the window.
