Welcome to our 2nd annual free Community Thanksgiving Dinner!

Are you feeling the crunch of inflation or SNAP restrictions? Are you feeling squeezed by gas prices or medical bills? Are you looking for an opportunity to give back on Thanksgiving, or to share a community dinner and some connection? All of the above?

Alma Bea is opening its doors on Thanksgiving--not for our regular service, but to share the day with neighbors.

Ways you can help:

Stop by later this week to pick up Thanksgiving announcement post cards to share with your neighbors, local food pantries or food shelters, and your church!

We're looking for people to make dinner, slice turkey, serve food and beverages, slice pie, prepare meals and package soup for shelters, donate your creativity to decorate tables, and crucially, help to clean up! If you are interested, contact us at [email protected].

Let's work together to make this an old-fashioned Appalachian Pie Supper!

Make it an Appalachian Thanksgiving with an Appalachian-raised turkey!

Our house-smoked turkeys are raised on small regenerative farms in North Carolina. We brine each one for 48 hours with our special bourbon, citrus, and herb recipe, then slow smoke for another 6 hours. You'll taste the difference!

Limited quantities available, so order yours early!

And don't forget the easy-to-reheat sides and pies!

We are so excited to introduce leather britches onto our menu this week!

A true Appalachian tradition of storing harvested green beans! Traditionally strung like garland, hung above the wood stove for weeks until dry and looking like worn out leather britches - the old mountain way of keeping summer for winter! You'll find this flavorful pot of cast iron beans as a side on our Grilled Ribeye Steak, White W**e Braised Rabbit, or as a simple side.

Stop by this week for a true taste of Appalachia on a plate!

Thanks to for growing our flavorful green beans!

It's time for Alma to party!

We will be closing the restaurant on Saturday October 3rd for dinner service; we will be open for brunch until 3:00pm. We will also be closed all day on Sunday October 4th.

Our staff works hard each and every day to take care of every person that walks through the doors. We want to take a weekend to celebrate and thank those who do the hard work.

Thanks for your understanding and continued support! We look forward to being back open and serving you on Wednesday the 7th!

Hi this is ME-Chef Mary Ellen. I am thrilled to be able to attend the 31st James Beard Foundation Chef Bootcamp for Policy and Change. This is the first time a WV Restaurant Chef has attended.
Many of you know my passion for feeding neighbors in need and lifting up the stories of the immigrants of Appalachia. I look forward to discussing and brainstorming about these and other policy topics with this group of phenomenal, passionate chefs!
