Dining on Cheat Lake! Maybe provolone sticks or zucchini planks are your choice for appetizers, but the main course sandwich I highly recommend is the Famous Hot Italian Sub. The French roll is piled high with toasted ham, pepperoni, and salami, melty provolone and American cheeses, and a blend of sautéed mushrooms, onions, and locally produced Oliverio’s peppers. Dining inside or out overlooking beautiful Cheat Lake!
