48 College Towns That Serve Up the Most Delicious Food Scenes in America

44. Morgantown, West Virginia – Mountains, Moonshine & Meaty Mains

Morgantown, home to West Virginia University, offers rustic Appalachian flavors with a modern edge. Think wild game burgers, moonshine-glazed ribs, and collard greens spiked with local vinegar. Iron Horse Tavern pairs regional beers with everything from duck fat fries to Korean fried cauliflower, while Mario’s Fishbowl remains a cult favorite for frosty beers and nostalgia. And yes—pepperoni rolls, the official state food, are sold proudly and deliciously on nearly every block. Morgantown’s food scene is hearty, homespun, and completely underrated.
