The Stonewall Kitchen at Stonewall Resort occupies a lakeside position at one of West Virginia's premier state resort properties in Roanoke, Lewis County, offering visitors a dining experience anchored by the natural beauty of Stonewall Jackson Lake. The restaurant serves as the main dining room for a resort that draws golfers, boaters, hikers, and leisure travelers throughout the year, and its menu reflects the regional identity of central West Virginia through the use of local ingredients in approachable, well-executed American preparations.
The kitchen's regional focus manifests through dishes like West Virginia trout almondine, which showcases the mountain trout abundant in the state's cold-water streams, prepared in a classic French-influenced style that elevates the local catch without obscuring it. Prime rib carving — a resort dining staple that has retained its popularity across decades — anchors the dinner menu for guests seeking a satisfying centerpiece dish. The Stonewall Sunrise breakfast plate has become a signature morning offering, setting a high standard for resort breakfasts in the region.
The dining room's greatest asset is the lake view it commands. Tables positioned near the windows offer a prospect of Stonewall Jackson Lake and the surrounding forested hills that shifts with the light and season — brilliant in autumn foliage, serene under winter snow, animated with boating activity in summer. The interior design reflects the resort's Adirondack-influenced aesthetic, with warm wood tones, stone accents, and comfortable furniture scaled for leisure rather than formality.
Service operates throughout the day, from an early breakfast through to late evening dinner, making the restaurant a comprehensive option for resort guests who prefer not to leave the property. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 304-269-7400. The restaurant at 1 Resort Drive, Roanoke, West Virginia, is open to outside visitors as well as resort guests, though the resort's remote location in Lewis County means most diners arrive as part of a longer stay.
