I went searching for tiki in the hills of WV yesterday and knew I had to stop in here. I got worried when I saw an online review that mentioned a 2009 remodel!
Safe to say the room's still intact (I'm not sure what was remodeled actually, the place is pretty much stuck in a timewarp).
I wasn't much of a sleuth, everybody I asked about when/why answered with "since I was a kid","oh, forever", etc.
There are pics on the tiki travel thread, but I'll post some more here soon.
It's an actual cafeteria where you take a tray and guide it past the steam trays.
Next door (almost attached) is a 50's motel (the O'Reilley Arms, now the O'Reilley Offices) and out back are the remnants of a bowling alley (with the Strikes and Spares Lounge). It must've been quite the stop between... well, WV Route 2 only runs from Huntington to Chester. So, I'm not sure how much travel there really would've been on it back then either.
