Why make a mess in your kitchen when the state’s most renowned chefs can craft a holiday meal for you? The Greenbrier chefs are the pinnacle of culinary artistry. Or take your pick of any flavor from upscale to on-the-go with all the options at Wheeling Island Casino— 3 bars, casual & fine dining restaurants, a sprawling buffet, food court, coffee bar and more.
