Appalachia Kitchen - Snowshoe

Great! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We dined at Appalachia Kitchen with some friends this Memorial Day Weekend. There were red flags when we walked in and we should have cut out losses early. We made a reservation ahead of time and arrived a few minutes before. They said they needed to let their servers catch up before they could seat us, which is fine. After we were seated, we waited over 15 minutes to get water. Not the level of service we were expecting for the cost of the dinner we were planning to have. Once our server came around, he was lovely. We noticed all the tables around us were served bread and when we asked for it, told it ran out. Then watched another table be served bread. We started with the muscles and a cup of the crab gazpacho. Both were great. I had the eggplant and my husband had the trout. My eggplant was probably the best dish of the night. Our friends had the chicken, seved with some veggies, missing a starch or grain. We loved the regionally sourced ingredients and are willing to pay more to support a restaurant that prioritizes that. But the service, cleanliness, and overall experience do not match up with the prices they're serving. If you're looking to have an okayish, higher-end experience and know you're overpaying, go for it.

Eh. This place was alright. We were not very impressed. Seating is very close together on bottom area. Waiter seemed a bit irritated with us and overworked (granted it was last day open) still not very professional. Ordered the charcuterie board and the bread was very stale and board was sparse. Definitely not worth $27.00! This place has lots of potential, but this place was nothing special.. probably wont return. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30

Great place! We eat there every time we visit Snowshoe! Great service and atmosphere!

If you 're visiting snowshoe and are staying on the resort you have basically 2 choices, resort food or non resort based food. There are a few restaurants, this one included that isn 't owned by that hash slinging overpriced resort. Enter Appalachia Kitchen, busy and hard to get reservations because it 's non resort, which leaves it as basically a monopoly along with ten prime as being the only decent places for dinner. It 's expensive but the food is good nothing out of this world, and they know it. You got no other choice. It 's not the food that makes me cringe. It 's the pathetic service. 400 bucks for my friend and I with our two sons the waiter didn 't know anything about the wine, the food, or proper service. She looked visibly afraid to talk and while polite was not a professional, or even close. No checking on our food, no refills on cocktails or drinks, basically no service at all. How would you like paying 30+ for some cold scallops and never being asked how they are? Where our table was, my son was constantly being bumped by rude food runners who acted like food auctioneers. Steak? Steak? Anyone for a steak? It wasn 't until another noticed waitress noticed and literally moved us to another table, she said that the owner was well aware that that table was in a bad place. Clearly it was there as an extra table cramped and less than fine , just like the whole experience. Of course they have excuses. I just wish they weren 't at the expense of the diners.
