Grantville Fine Foods is a restaurant owned by German Fritz Shuler, who had researched up-time dining before opening his establishment. Initially, business didn't flourish before the owner set up to provide an authentic West Virginia dining experience, which included catfish, Kentucky style chicken, and beef grilled to order, on top of a full menu. However, this didn't catch on until someone finally explained the difference between fast food and fine food.

Before the restaurant's complete opening as a dinner house, Fine Foods provided plastic utensils and paper napkins to supplement the lack of real linen, silver flatware, fine china and glass.

It is here that Berlin philosopher Wilhelm Krieger booked a reservation for a dinner date with Jimmy Dick Shaver, Joseph Jenkins, and Emmanuel Onofrio where Krieger entered a challenge of wits with Shaver.
