If you ask any local where Huntington’s hidden foodie gems are tucked away, you’re bound to hear about the Beverly Hills neighborhood. This charming, leafy enclave just east of downtown boasts a food scene that’s quietly innovative, welcoming, and as diverse as the friendly folks who call it home. Whether you’re looking for a satisfying breakfast, a caffeine fix, decadent pastries, or a one-of-a-kind dinner, Beverly Hills delivers—and then some. Here’s where to dine, sip, and savor in this delightful Huntington nook.
Standout Restaurants: From Everyday Comforts to Special Nights Out
Beverly Hills is where old-school favorites mix easily with newer local treasures, making for an eclectic array of choices.
1. Black Sheep Burrito & Brews – Beverly Hills
One of the most buzzworthy outposts of this locally loved eatery sits near the corner of Washington Boulevard and Norway Avenue. Black Sheep brings a funky twist to classic Tex-Mex and pub fare. Think slow-cooked brisket burritos, house-made salsas with a kick, creative tacos, and a rotating taplist highlighting West Virginia craft beers. It’s a great spot for groups—order a variety of small plates and share. Prices range from $9-18 for mains.
2. Nawab Fine Indian Cuisine
Craving bold spices and aromatic curries? Nawab, located on 5th Street Road, is Huntington’s answer to authentic Indian dining. Locals swear by the lunch buffet, while the dinner menu showcases favorites like chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and vegetarian palak paneer. The naan is pillowy and perfectly charred. Prices are mid-range, from $12-20, with generous portions and friendly service.
3. La Famiglia – Beverly Hills
On the corner of Norway Avenue and Route 60, La Famiglia serves up rustic Italian dishes in a cozy, casual setting. Their pasta is handmade, the sauces are family recipes, and the pizza has a devoted following. Don’t miss the chicken marsala or the cheesy baked ziti. Meals run $14-22, and the staff will make you feel like part of the family.
Cafés and Bakeries: Sweet Treats and Warm Gatherings
Wake up to the aroma of fresh coffee and pastries, or linger over a sweet treat—the Beverly Hills café scene is low-key but delightful.
4. Grindstone Coffeeology
This neighborhood coffee shop on Beverly Hills Drive is a hub for locals. It’s known for expertly brewed coffee, seasonal lattes (try the honey lavender in spring), and locally sourced pastries. Settle in with a book or laptop, or catch up with friends in the bright, sun-filled space. Pastries and drinks range $2-6, making it an affordable favorite.
5. Sweet Mama’s Bakery
Tucked beside a row of local shops on Washington Boulevard, Sweet Mama’s is famous for its cinnamon rolls, gooey brownies, and delicate fruit tarts. The cakes—custom or by the slice—add a homey, nostalgic touch to any celebration. If you visit in the fall, don’t miss their pumpkin spice cupcakes. Baked goods are $1-5, and special orders are available for parties and gatherings.
Food Trucks and Quick Eats: Casual, Creative, and Community-Focused
When you’re in the mood for something quick—but still crave something memorable—Beverly Hills’ rotating lineup of food trucks and snack spots has your back.
6. The Rolling Stove
Keep an eye out for this food truck, often parked near the intersection of Norway Avenue and Washington Boulevard (check their social media for locations). The Rolling Stove specializes in elevated comfort food like gourmet grilled cheese, loaded mac & cheese, and mouthwatering sliders. The truck’s focus on local ingredients and punchy flavors makes it a lunchtime favorite. Dishes run $5-10, a bargain for the quality.
7. West End Wok Express
This family-run Asian fusion food truck brings a taste of street food classics to the Beverly Hills area, usually stationed near the Beverly Hills United Methodist Church parking lot. Sample crispy egg rolls, tangy pad Thai, and sizzling stir-fries. Prices hover around $7-12 per plate, with vegetarian and gluten-free options clearly marked.
Hidden Gems & Local Traditions
Some of Beverly Hills’ best bites are a little off the beaten path—but well worth seeking out.
8. The Corner Scoop
On a hot summer day, nothing beats a visit to The Corner Scoop, a colorful little shop on the cross of Norway Avenue and 6th Street. They’re known for old-fashioned hand-dipped ice cream and classic sundaes loaded with homemade fudge and fresh whipped cream. It’s kid-friendly and nostalgia-filled, with prices from $2-6.
9. Tuesday Farmer’s Market Pop-Up
Each Tuesday, the Beverly Hills Community Center hosts a pop-up farmer’s market featuring local produce, regional cheeses, honey, and baked goods from Huntington’s best up-and-coming home cooks. Locals line up early for the fresh sourdough, and the market is a great intro to community food traditions—swap recipes, get tips, or sample Appalachian specialties you won’t find anywhere else.
Why Beverly Hills’ Food Scene Stands Out
The Beverly Hills neighborhood isn’t defined solely by upscale fare or trend-driven eateries. Its strength is the warmth and creativity of its local restaurateurs, the diversity of its culinary offerings, and the way it brings the community together over food. The neighborhood’s walkable main streets—especially along Norway Avenue, Washington Boulevard, and the offshoots of 5th Street Road—are home to a range of experiences, from quick bites to lingering, celebratory meals. Prices remain approachable, making it possible to eat well every day or splurge on something extra special now and then.
Whether you’re a Huntington native or visiting for the day, make time to explore Beverly Hills. With every meal, you’ll get a true taste of the neighborhood’s spirit: creative, welcoming, and always delicious.
