Food and Friends Restaurant presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a landmark 18,000 square foot historic building housing an award-winning restaurant that has been serving the Lewisburg community since 1989. Located in the heart of downtown Lewisburg, this turnkey operation sits directly across from Carnegie Hall (one of only three in the world, providing world famous entertainment & performers) and New River Community College, surrounded by charming boutiques and historical attractions.

The restaurant has built a stellar reputation throughout West Virginia for its inviting atmosphere and exceptional cuisine featuring seafood, pasta, and steaks. The establishment attracts both loyal locals and visitors, with particular strength during holiday seasons when private events fill the multiple enclosed dining rooms.

The property features a spacious, updated kitchen with walk-in coolers, ample storage areas, and well-designed service stations. The restaurant operates Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, presenting immediate expansion opportunities through Sunday and Monday operations or extended hours.

The historic building offers remarkable versatility beyond the restaurant. The upper level contains two apartments requiring remodeling that could serve as owner/staff housing or be converted to Airbnb or bed-and-breakfast accommodations. The lower level, originally a Ford dealership with drive-in capabilities, provides numerous potential uses for additional revenue streams.

This prime location benefits from consistent foot traffic generated by Carnegie Hall events, college activities, downtown festivals, and proximity to the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine. The vibrant downtown district maintains year-round activity through various community events and the thriving boutique scene.

The current owners, after 35 years of successful operation, are ready to retire and will provide training support to ensure a smooth transition. The business sells completely turnkey - ready for immediate operation.
