FAIRMONT, W.Va (WDTV) - McAteer’s Restaurant has celebrated an annual St. Patrick’s Day tradition with the Marion County community for more than 20 years, serving a corned beef and cabbage dinner with potatoes and a roll.
The restaurant was originally opened in 1958 by Marshall and Rosemary McAteer. In 1982, their youngest son, Tim McAteer, took over the business.
The tradition was inspired by a trip to Ireland. McAteer, who is of Irish descent, returned to West Virginia and began the St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the restaurant.
Since the tradition began, St. Patrick’s Day has become the restaurant’s biggest day of the year.

In 1958, J. Marshall and Rosemary McAteer opened McAteer’s Restaurant as a cafeteria to be filled with both college students and community members. The store served food on one side and school supplies on the other. Open from 6 am to 10 pm, the restaurant was specifically for the campus, but also the community. The McAteers had eight children, each of which worked in the restaurant growing up with their own shift. In the 1970s, the restaurant’s dinner model changed to breakfast & lunch and in 1982, Tim McAteer took the business over from his parents.
McAteer’s Restaurant specializes in breakfast & lunch and is famous for its omelets of any kind, reubens, and club sandwiches. The business tries to keep its food products as close to home as possible, obtaining most of its meat and produce from the Fairmont and Clarksburg areas.
When asked about the relationship with their customers, McAteer exclaimed “It’s wonderful. We know their birthdays and everything that’s going on.” He stated that they have frequent, loyal customers who will often bring the employees gifts as a token of their gratitude. This all is a product of the service that McAteer and his staff provides to the community. “Our service is wonderful. We try to be as personable as we can and care about the community and people that we work with.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
McAteer’s brings Irish heritage celebration to Fairmont
- By Michelle Dillon | Times West Virginian
- Tim McAteer, owner of McAteer’s, checks on corned beef that will be served today for St. Patrick’s Day.
- FAIRMONT — Area residents interested in celebrating Irish heritage can do so today at McAteer’s.
Every year on St. Patrick’s Day McAteer’s offers a corned beef and cabbage meal.
McAteer’s employee Duane Cochran said the restaurant has been doing a version of the meal every year since the 2000s. He said it started small as a special thing and now it has grown into just offering the full meal.
The restaurant started serving just corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day in 2013, owner Tim McAteer said.
McAteer said the restaurant starts serving the meal at 9 a.m. It consists of corned beef, cabbage, red potatoes and a roll. McAteer’s opens at 9 a.m. today and closes when it runs out of food.
The cost is $14.50 for to-go orders and $16.50 for dine-in orders. The restaurant accepts cash and checks, but not credit cards, McAteer said.
The restaurant offers the meal as a way “to give Fairmont a little taste of the heritage of Fairmont and to say ‘Hey, this is what we do,’” McAteer said. “We like to share our heritage.”
On average, 300 people come to the St. Patrick’s Day meal at McAteer’s every year. That is double the normal amount of diners, McAteer said.
The preparation for the meal starts a week or more before St. Patrick’s Day.
“About a week or 10 days before, we’ll start boiling the corned beef,” McAteer said. “The night before we’ll start trimming and cutting the corn beef to size.”
The supplier McAteer’s orders the corned beef from sells it to them already seasoned. It is seasoned with pickling spices, old bay and other spices. The cut of meat is a brisket, McAteer said.
The corned beef sits in the fridge until it is time to be served. The night before St. Patrick’s Day it is sliced so it is ready for customers, he said.
The same people come every year with their families to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day at McAteer's. He plans on continuing this tradition, McAteer said.
McAteer is the youngest of eight children. His brother Joe and sisters Ellen, Cecily and Molly will come today and help him with the meal, he said.
“I love it, absolutely love it,” McAteer said about corned beef.
Corned beef is an acquired taste. A lot of people don’t like it, he said.
It’s not a real big meal in Ireland,” he said about corned beef and cabbage. “They have it, but its more of an Irish-American thing. I believe when the Irish came over here it was all they could afford.”
