50 West at Stonewall Jackson Lake occupies a lakeview position within Stonewall Resort in Roanoke, Lewis County, West Virginia, functioning as the resort's casual bar and grill counterpart to the more formal Stonewall Kitchen dining room. Named for the western approach to the lake at the 50-mile marker of WV-19, the venue draws resort guests seeking a relaxed post-activity meal as well as day visitors who come specifically for the combination of elevated pub food and lakeside views.
The menu at 50 West is designed for the leisure traveler's appetite — substantial, familiar, and executed with more care than standard resort bar food. Lake perch fish tacos have become the most talked-about dish on the menu, featuring freshwater perch from the region in a format that feels at home in the outdoor recreation setting of central West Virginia. Loaded nachos offer a sharing-friendly option suited to groups returning from boating, fishing, or golf on the resort's Crickard's Creek course. West Virginia craft beer flights allow visitors to sample regionally produced beers in a setting with arguably the best views of any craft beer experience in Lewis County.
The atmosphere is deliberately casual — open, well-lit, and oriented toward the lake views that give the venue its primary appeal. During warm months, outdoor seating extends the capacity and brings diners closer to the water. The noise level reflects a social, recreational crowd rather than a dining-focused one, making 50 West appropriate for informal gatherings and families.
The venue operates daily from 11 AM to 10 PM, giving it a broader service window than the resort's main dining room and making it the default option for midday meals and late evening snacks. Walk-ins are the norm, with no reservation system in place. Located within Stonewall Resort at 1 Resort Drive in Roanoke, West Virginia, 50 West is accessible via the resort entrance off WV-19.
