Barboursville Travel Guide

This Applebees restaurant is right at the mall. Which made it convenient for us because my wife spends a lot of time shopping.

The lunch menu here is very good. They offer a soup and sandwich combo that is both filling and nutritional. Tomato soup with basil with a touch of cream is my favorite. Or try what my wife likes, the broccoli-cheese soup (smells like old socks to me). Choose the chicken or turkey on the Mexican bread or maybe you'd prefer the shrimp and spinach salad plate.
You have dozens of combinations of soups and salads and sandwichs you can select and they are all good for you. The cost with beverage is about $9 per person which is pretty inexpensive to eat out at a restaurant.

The restaurant itself is a fairly quiet arrangement of booths spread around a core of tables with a bar and grill at the center. The staff was very friendly and got the order exactly right and served us within fifteen minutes. No problems, no hassle, gave them a good tip.

This mall has about 140 stores and 10 eateries. My wife buzzed through them in just over an hour.

Top brand names in the mall were:
Aeropostale, Gap, Old Navy, Victoria Secret, Firestone, Toy R Us, Kohls, Macys, Sears, Penneys,Circuit City, etc.etc.

Top food places in the mall are:
Bob Evans, MC Donalds, Panera, Ruby Tuesday, Wendys

So if you are on vacation and your wife starts getting antsy from all the driving, stop in here to give her her shopping fix.
