Mack’s Bingo Kitchen
Wardensville, West Virginia
An Homage to West Virginia
Mack’s Bingo Kitchen is more than a restaurant—it’s a space that is intentionally designed to reflect and reinforce its mission of community development and youth empowerment in Appalachia. Operated by the nonprofit Farms Work Wonders, the restaurant functions as a living classroom where local youth gain hands-on experience in hospitality. The design was conceived as an homage to West Virginia’s rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and resilient spirit. Rooted in openness and transparency, the interior invites guests to witness the collaborative energy between staff and Junior Crew, blurring the line between learning and service. Every design choice—from material selection to spatial flow—supports the restaurant’s role as both a welcoming community hub and a platform for transformative education.
