Outstanding farm-to-table dining in Snowshoe For anyone visiting Snowshoe Mountain and hoping to find a truly elevated dining experience, Appalachia Kitchen stands apart. The concept is simple but well executed: locally sourced Appalachian ingredients, seasonal menus, and careful preparation. In an area where "upscale" dining often leans heavily on pricing instead of execution, Appalachia Kitchen focuses on what actually matters--quality, balance, and consistency. Highlights included: * A perfectly cooked filet paired with root vegetables and a rich, restrained sauce * Thoughtful plating without unnecessary theatrics * A wine list that complements the menu instead of competing with it * Attentive service that feels professional but relaxed One standout moment: the staff happily accommodated a custom French press paired with vanilla gelato and chocolate chips--a small detail, but one that shows how much pride they take in the guest experience. Snowshoe attracts visitors from across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and for many, this will be the memorable meal of their trip. If you're deciding where to spend your money for a special dinner, this is the restaurant that delivers on both quality and value. Appalachia Kitchen sets the benchmark for what higher-end dining in Snowshoe should be. read more

Food was delicious with scallops and lamb stew. Unique dish with chicken Wellington. Carrot cake could feed four. Service was good and attentive. read more

Very mid and over priced. Menu is incredibly limited. Nice interior but the food was meh. We had multiple dishes and consistently the food lacked flavor and the texture of my filet was pure mush. I definitely would not return. I mostly booked it bc it was one of the two locations that accepted reservations and it had better reviews than 10 prime. After dining here on night one, I cancelled my 10 prime. lol. With worse reviews no way it was going to be better. Stick to the village spots and go early read more

Review: Appalachia Kitchen at Snowshoe Resort, WV Appalachia Kitchen at Snowshoe Resort offers an upscale yet inviting dining experience, featuring locally inspired ingredients and refined culinary techniques. Our visit showcased the kitchen's commitment to quality, with a well-balanced menu and impeccable service. Starters We began with the Mushroom Toast, an artful combination of house-made focaccia, rich mushroom mousse, and a medley of shiitake and morel mushrooms. The onion soubise added a velvety depth, while the parsley oil and micro mustard provided a fresh contrast. Every bite was earthy, decadent, and satisfying--a must-try for mushroom lovers. Salads The Poached Pear Salad delivered a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Local mixed greens were crisp and fresh, complemented by spiced pecans, smoky bleu cheese, and crispy shallots. The champagne vinaigrette tied everything together with a bright, balanced acidity. The Lobster and Beetroot Salad was equally impressive, featuring tender Maine lobster, sweet roasted beets, and delicate micro basil. The beet vinaigrette provided a natural sweetness, while caviar added a touch of luxury. This salad was beautifully presented and expertly composed. Entrées Ms. Deborah chose the U-10 Diver Scallop Risotto, where perfectly seared scallops rested atop a creamy butternut squash risotto. The braised ruby chard added an earthy contrast, making the dish both comforting and elegant. I opted for the Fossil Farms Stuffed Quail, which was expertly prepared and stuffed with wild boar sausage. The lentil ragout and roasted root vegetables provided a hearty, rustic foundation, while the port wine reduction added a rich, slightly sweet finish. This dish was a standout, offering bold flavors and thoughtful execution. Dessert We ended the meal with a Crème Brûlée, which featured a beautifully caramelized sugar crust giving way to a silky, vanilla-infused custard. A classic done right, it provided a simple yet indulgent finish to our meal. Overall Experience Reservations are recommended, as this restaurant is a sought-after dining spot at Snowshoe Resort. Service was impeccable--attentive yet unobtrusive--Ms. Marissa did an exceptional job advising as to the choices. The dining room was well-maintained and inviting. The cozy atmosphere made for a relaxing and intimate experience. Final Verdict: Appalachia Kitchen delivers a memorable dining experience with refined Appalachian-inspired dishes, excellent service, and a warm ambiance. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a high-quality meal on the mountain, this restaurant is well worth a visit. read more

So mad! 14 anniversary I got online made a reservation got approved. Got text messages regarding reservation called someone up at THE RESTAURANT !!!!because their website said very limited parking so I called the restaurant... restaurant LADY told me yes to use the shuttle blah blah blah. I said OK I'm coming here tonight at 5:30 for my reservation. I show up at 5 o'clock. Doors are locked. I walked all the way around the restaurant with my wife trying to get in ...went into the bar above they said oh there's a wedding tonight. The place is booked and closed so after making a reservation, confirming the reservation getting text about the reservation and getting to the restaurant closed For my 14th anniversary dinner.. to make matters worse. I ran into the executive chef. He said they are not taking reservations tonight. There is a wedding party. I said I already have a reservation from two days ago. Why was I allowed to make a reservation when the place is booked up for a wedding, he said oh sorry. Yeah, great thanks for nothing. This is apparently the nicest restaurant around a 50 mile radius. Everything else is a bar or a pub or mom and pop joint. Drove all the way back to Marlington to the Greenbrier Grill, which had 30 Amish people in ahead of us for dinner so thanks for nothing.! You suck.! And don't even mention 10 Prime restaurant. thought I might go down there for that extremely overpriced restaurant they showed being open, but of course they're closed too for the season! Snowshoe sucks all the way around! read more

Great service, excellent food and nicely located at Snowshoe Ski Resort. Reservations recommended.

We had a spectacular dinner at Appalachia Kitchen for my 40th birthday celebration. Reuben was very attentive to all of our needs and made the experience even more special. The food and drinks were top notch. The trout was absolutely amazing! The restaurant itself is beautiful, and was the perfect setting for our celebration. 5 stars all around! read more

We visit once a year during our New Year's visit to Snowshoe. We like it as our last night celebration. This year, service was great! Food was pretty good. I do wish they would offer 2 chicken dishes. This year the only chicken offering was chicken Wellington (chicken wrapped in dough) and honestly ate a little dry. My daughter had the spinach ravioli. We liked this dish least of all. The ravioli was hard, almost crispy and really needed more sauce. My husband had the filet and was delicious. We shared the apple crisp desert, it was just ok. The topping was a bit "oatey" and was not a good texture. All the staff work really hard and the manager is always visible and helping out. We like the ambiance and will continue to make this our last stop at the Shoe! Thanks for another memorable New Year's Eve! read more

Very nice place to check out after being on the slopes. I'd recommend changing out of your ski clothes before entering, since this is a nicer establishment. However, we did ask staff about dress code and were told they are very welcoming and understanding! The staff were all friendly and helpful. We didn't order any drinks, but they seem to have a nice array of options. Complimentary bread is provided, which is delicious. We started with the short rib appetizer, and I'd definitely recommend getting it! This was our favorite bite of food we had here. I got the crab cakes for my entree and my husband got the filet. We liked both but wouldn't say they were the best we have had. Overall, nice ambiance with kind people and good food. We'd recommend. read more

Excellent food and great ambiance. We came here during a winter weekend! The service was top notch and servers on point. We started with the charcuterie board. The tastes of each food blended well. I believe the portions needed to be a bit bigger or cut in more pieces to allow for easier sharing. I ordered the filet mignon (surprise surprise) with a glass of their Tilia malbec. It went together perfectly. The asparagus was cooked well and crisp. I am not a fan of limp and soggy asparagus. Steak always goes well with fingerling potatoes which were tasty. Everything cooked as I ordered it. Friend of mine ordered the venison meatloaf which seemed like a good idea at the time, but lacked some flavor and was slightly dry. Venison is not easy to make so I can't count it against them too much. Either way a great experience with good food. I highly recommend making reservations weeks in advance to get the time and day you want to eat. It is one of the few sit-down restaurants at Snowshoe that has good reviews. We will be back again! read more

We usually love to eat at Appalachian Kitchen when we visit Snowshoe. The food is frequently top notch as is the service and ambiance. This season unfortunately we weren't crazy about our dishes or the menu offerings. We shared a 5811 salad but the dressing tasted extremely salty. The pork was deliciously seasoned but the accompaniments were almost cold. This isn't the first time this side dish temperature issue has happened for us but it was more noticeable this time. Either the plating is done too soon or there aren't strong enough warmers while the main item is prepared. My daughter's filet was overcooked, and the apple crisp was just okay. She wouldn't touch the crab grits so I can't review the flavor, but they weren't appetizing looking. The strawberry crème brûlée was delicious though, and the service was fantastic. It would be nice to have an additional menu selection for those in the party who are a little bit less adventurous eaters. We probably won't return this ski season but will try again with the next menu rotation. read more

This is our second year coming up to snowshoe for skiing/snowboarding. Adena recommended this place to us last year and it was amazing! Great atmosphere, food, and service! We came back this year and decided to get the tomahawk steak for two and it did not disappoint! The corn brûlée was amazing, the steak cook to perfect temp, and we finished it off with the apple upside down cake for dessert! So good! We will always come back! Thanks guys! read more

Best food on the mountain. I like the trout; my girl friend had a fine strip steak. Pleasant service in a calm atmosphere. Pricey, but what isn't at a ski resort? read more

Had reservations and was quickly seated. Host explained the specials of the day but were out of the "main" appetizer and elk. Short rib croquettes were delicious. We ordered Steak to medium temperature, but arrived medium well, almost done. Did not complain because the crust and reduction had an amazing flavor. We requested bread and we're told that they were also out of bread. We had the carrot cake for dessert which is a very generous portion. I haven't had one this good in a long time, was told it's made from scratch and a family recipe. read more

Great food and service. We ate there on my birthday. Food was incredible. Nice location right on the slopes. Had a fire going on the inside.

Wow!!! Had dinner for Valentine's Day. It was delicious. I had the osso bucco. Husband had the maple glazed pork chops. Lobster bisque was amazing. Our server was so sweet and kind. It was packed!! Expected that. Restaurant is very nice. You could see the snowmakers grooming. read more

Really nice ambiance and a nice dinner option on the mountain. We were able to make a reservation a day before going. The staff was very friendly, but when we went there was only one waiter serving the entirety of the restaurant while there were multiple hosts waiting at check-in. The pork chops were lovely, and the rest of the table agreed all of their meals were pretty good as well. The carrot cake is HUGE (the menu even says to share it) and it was fairly decent but not out of this world. I'd recommend going here one evening if looking for a nicer option one night if here for a good chunk of time- a good option for larger groups. Note you'll be able to hear the bar music above, but we didn't mind. read more

I love going to Snowshoe all year. I was just at the resort this past weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday and we didn't want to go to the same steakhouse again. So we got recommended to try App Kitchen on one of the Facebook pages. The menu looked pretty appetizing. When we walked in, the ambiance was really nice and felt really underdressed (I was in sweats and a hoodie). But the servers were still so nice and made really nice recommendations for food. We had the Crabcake Crostini and 48-hr Short Rib for appetizers and the Berkshire Heritage Pork Osso Bucco for the main entree. All the food was really yummy and we definitely want to come back to try the other menu items. I'm from the DMV area, so the Crabcake Crostini was okay. The caviar topping really elevated it. The short ribs was really good with the cheddar grits. The star of the night was the pork with the pumpkin risotto. It was tender and the pairing with the pumpkin risotto was really nice. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I wanted to love this place, but...didn't. I see so many people recommending it as a great place for a special meal, but brace yourself for disappointment - the food is nothing special and it's way too costly for what it is. It's a fairly nice setting and a decent menu, with a combination of basic standards and a few more adventuresome items - a nice alternative to the burgers, pizza, and fried stuff served elsewhere on the mountain. However, the food lacked flavor and subtlety, especially given the incredibly high prices (I understand it's a resort and hard to bring in supplies, but still). On top of it, we followed our server's recommendations on most items and they were universally disappointing. I'm a fan of farm-to-table fine dining and love to support local businesses, but this place is sadly not worth the money, by a long stretch. I hope they can fix it - I'd gladly try again if they did! read more

The food service and ambience were all phenomenal. I would even say that the service was better than top-notch. A gentleman named London did an outstanding job. He was knowledgeable, professional, and knew the menu like the back of his hand. Thank you. read more

AK never disappoints! From the ambiance, foodie creations to the excellent staff, it's always a treat to dine here. London was amazing and 100-% spot on recommending the trout cakes for appetizer. I had the elk shank, grits & brussels and my husband had the pork chop & squash risotto. Thank you for a lovely evening. See you again next ski season read more

Great service and fantastic food. This is one of my family's favorites. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Snowshoe.

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. read more

Great service, fantastic menu and best food on the mountain without a doubt. Good wine selections as well.

After a long day of skiing in cold and wind, We decided to go for dinner. The atmosphere and the decoration of this restaurant are very well thought out and it is quiet and peaceful which is What we exactly were looking for. The staff were friendly, the bathroom was clean. We ordered the scallop and the grilled sea bass. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The fish was cooked to perfection. The complement of roasted almonds along with the grilled asparagus was delicious. This is a great place to take family, your spouse or even your girlfriend after a long day skiing to get treated with respect and feel comfortable for a kick back time and to enjoy the beautifully prepared dinner. If we are skiing or visiting the resort next year we will try this place again. read more

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. read more

Mountain was dead and we were first to be seated at 5:30 (open is 5:00). With an empty restaurant we were seated in a stuffy 2 seat table that was uncomfortablly against a wall and wrought iron railing. Ordered first in the restaurant and was told our food was delayed because of two other steak orders. An hour later from checking in we were served our entrees. Both entrees were over cooked. Multiple other poor experiences in this same encounter, including service. We enjoyed this place in the past but this will keep us from coming back again. We didnt get what we paid for. We were warned by others that the place has gone down hill but didn't heed the warnings. In contrast Toques, the floor above, was attentive to patrons. Note: for reference, photo was taken at 5:57 - ~30 minutes from being seated. read more

The four of us came here for dinner on Sunday while enjoying our trip to Snowshoe and had a very nice dinner and great time! This establishment is located in an apartment complex and is set up as an events venue, due to Covid. Although it may seem like you are dining at someone's wedding reception, it's actually great and spacious. That being said, the views are SPECTACULAR! 10/10. Additionally, our waitress was very attentive and friendly! On to the food and wine! I opted for a Prosecco, which was dry and delicious. Way too easy to drink. My boyfriend and I started with the Scallops and French Onion soup, both of which were delicious and full of flavor. The scallops were perfectly cooked and served with Butternut Squash Risotto and Cherrywood Bacon Jam - yum! He ordered the Gorgonzola Strip Steak and I went for the Filet as my entrée. Both of these items were exceptional. My filet was served with a delicious Bordeliase Sauce, Fingerling Potatoes, Shiitake Mushrooms, and two pieces of Asparagus. Although, my filet arrived almost perfectly cooked (I ordered Medium-Rare, it was definitely more on the rare side), it was actually not hot, or even really warm, when it arrived. However, I sent it back and it came back perfect. I dislike doing this but for a $42 steak, it should be perfect. I also was able to try my friend's Duck - this was outstanding! This was a Pan-seared Breast and Leg Confit served with Wild Rice Pilaf and Morello Cherries. Lastly, my other friend ordered the salmon and he enjoyed it! I would come back to Appalachia Kitchen for the views and food. It is a nice "fancy" dining option for the village area! read more

Dinner was good. We enjoyed the main courses; however, the rice sides were bland and kind of all tasted the same. Our party ordered the trout, the duck, and the lamb. Our waitress was nice. We chose AK mostly because of the sunset views its website boasted (and the menu/concept sounded incredible). There are other restaurants we've enjoyed in the village but we really wanted the views for a special dinner. However, we were on the wrong side of the mountain with trees and a ski lift in the way. Even the hostess was confused. Although the waitress was nice, she wasn't very competent. She didn't know what a gimlet was or the beer my friend ordered off the menu. Also, the cocktails (gimlet, Old Fashioned, and Manhattan) tasted like something out of a college dive bar - not a place that boats farm-to-table fare (and the $$$$ that goes along with it). AK has an impressive wine list - but all the components just don't add up to a great experience. Just ok. read more

Meatloaf on the Mountain Exceeded expectations, it had been a while since I had venison, so I decided to take a leap of faith here, and Appalachia did not disappoint with their meatloaf. Honestly the only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the cost, if the prices were a hair cheaper I feel like this would be an incredible value for your money, regardless of location. I was also able to sample the scallops and I can't recommend them enough! Do your self a favor and order the scallop app if you're here. I'd also like to commend the staff for great service of our 20 top table! Not an easy task, but they served us like champions. read more

Tried Appalachia Kitchen for the first time last night and it was pretty disappointing. I got the filet that comes with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, and the only thing that was remotely worth it was the filet. The mashed potatoes were 100% instant mashed potatoes, creamed spinach was fine just dry. Not sure if they ran out of stuff last night and had to improvise but it was pretty disappointing for a $55 dollar meal that I barely ate. Scallops were okay, you only get about 3-4 small scallops. Potatoes were definitely instant. Also had a party of 7 and we were told we couldn't split the check up (two couples and 3 singles) so we had to have one person pick up the whole check and split it up on our own which was pretty inconvenient. read more
