The Appalachian

“Joe was our server. He was absolutely fabulous! It was my 1st time here and I was not disappointed! The chicken skins appetizer is a MUST HAVE!! Crispy and flavorful! I had the 8oz Filet Mignon. This steak was melt in your mouth delicious, cooked at medium well! Accompanied by fire roasted carrots, this meal was an easy 5/5 ⭐!! The fried bone-in pork chop was extremely tender and tasty. The andouille sausage gravy was top-notch!”

“This was an amazing culinary experience. We were celebrating our 1st Anniversary so I surprised my husband who is a chef with the Chef Table Experience!! The staff was amazing and so was the food. It was a 5 course menu with wine paring. I will post the menu below. Definitely go check this place out. They use local ingredients and make everything fresh and have amazing customer service. I forgot to take pictures of the salad and the dessert.”

“All I can say amazing experience. From the host to the bartender/server everything was so pleasant and warm and welcoming! And as with the service the cocktails and then the food was exceptional. Best lamb I have ever had. And the unexpected side of corn bread was heavenly. We also had the burger which was cooked perfectly. Wish we had room left for dessert. If you are in the area this place is worth the visit!”

“First things first: Tyler was a phenomenal server. He paced our meal perfectly and provided incredible recommendations. Almost everything we had was at his behest. We asked him questions with obscure answers, and nothing stumped him! He’s obviously very well-trained and overall a very charming server. My family and I had the buffalo frog legs and the smoked bone marrow as starters. Tyler brought us warm towels to clean our hands with after the frog legs. Both dishes were rich in flavor. The bone marrow was the perfect texture, and the frog legs were the most tender I’ve ever had. We had a perfectly balanced cocktail that I remember the name of, but it was like a French 75 with lavender. The picture is attached. For our entrees, we had the hanger steak (holy tenderness, it was good) with the best gnocchi I’ve ever had and the lamb with cheese grits and a blackberry reduction, which was a lovely combination. Our entrees came with some real, southern cornbread, too! For dessert, we grabbed some goat cheese cheesecake to go, because we were so full. At places like this, you often leave hungry, but all of the portions were large, with generous amounts of meat. The cheesecake was amazing, but somehow sweeter than I expected. The berry sauce was sharp and delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone. Every dish is thoughtfully created and plated. The menus are printed out every day based on seasonal availability, so you get to take your menu with you as a keepsake if you’d like to. The first page is a huge list of all of their local partners that they source their ingredients from. There was a huge list of spirits, too. I loved the open kitchen design with the huge, roaring fire for everyone to see. Watching the chefs work like a well-oiled machine was a distinct privilege. If you have some extra cash or something to celebrate, come here! And heed your server’s recommendations: they really know what they’re talking about.”

“Came for our anniversary. The staff at the Appalachian turned our dinner out into an entire experience. They sat us right by the kitchen where we got to witness all the action in the kitchen. We enjoyed everything they put in front of us. The chicken skins we had as an appetizer were delicious and a huge portion. The goat cheese, squash, and candied pecan salad was delicious. For our main, we had perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked steak paired with the mashed potatoes, carrots, and cornbread. If we lived closer we would visit The Appalachian often! Between the atmosphere and delicious food- I would highly recommend a visit to The Appalachian.”
