Had I known how close this place was and had it not been 95 degrees out, I'd have just walked. As it was, I drove past the correct street and it took another 5 minutes to circle the block in traffic. The restaurant was actually within 300 yards of the museum. If you are heading south on Museum Drive towards downtown, Church Street will be the first cross street you come to after the museum. Downtown Cartersville has a large road overpass that spans the train tracks. Under this bridge is a series of shops forming one block of several that make up the whole of the business district. The Appalachian Grill is located on the row of shops under the bridge. An added bonus for us was that there is street parking out front and it was well shaded due to the bridge! There appeared to be one or more public lots within half a block also. The restaurant opened within a minute of when we exited the car. There was a small crowd already waiting, and at noon they opened the doors. I think there was a small fenced patio space along the sidewalk but no one was initially interested in that due to the heat. The interior has a sort of lodge-meets-Frank Lloyd Wright feel in terms of the decor. It is also a bit dim / cozy. I worried that the servers would be overwhelmed by the opening crowd, but they handled it quite well. Our server returned relatively frequently to get our drink orders and later our food requests. There was a slight wait after that, but given the influx of customers, it wasn't as long as I might have guessed. The menu was quite varied, and ranged from salads and burgers up to steaks. This is probably fine dining adjacent in the evenings for dinner. I got a BLT and my wife got a Portobello mushroom sandwich. Both of us opted for the 'steak fries'. The amount of food was surprisingly large! We managed to finish our sandwiches and a few of the fries, but had a take-out box of fries for later too. We both liked our sandwiches. While I tend to like steak fries, these were like the big brother of your average type. They were more like potato wedges than large-body fries. Maybe they are new, as the server asked me at the end what I thought of them. My honest opinion, which I shared, was that they were good, but would be better if the potatoes were peeled and if the size of each fry was halved. We did end up finishing them a few days later. Prices were not cheap but were not out of line for the type of establishment and the quality (and quantity) of food. I might try this place for dinner as opposed to lunch if I came back to Cartersville. I'd certainly recommend it for a meal.

As a vegetarian, to have options that were so considerate was absolutely amazing. The waiters were always great and this place is so popular during the week. I made it very clear to the waiter that I'm vegetarian and he was great about being really honest about what can and can't be made vegetarian from the menu. I came twice and the first time I ordered the tomato bisque with grilled cheese as well as the vegetarian option from the weekly specials. Both were incredible, but I was unable to finish the main after having the bisque which was surprisingly filling. If you're vegetarian in Cartersville, there is always at minimum, one vegetarian option here and they are unusually a unique dish that tastes incredible. I also recommend trying their cream sodas. I don't know if I'd get it again, but it was definitely a lot of fun to try. They are not as fizzy as I expected so be warned, but the taste is delicious.

Sad to say we're likely done for foreseeable future. In a growing trend, they've had problems with the beverage station. Usually, it's no unsweet tea but we've also seen the fountain drinks out of order too. For the tea, they say their 2nd tea urn "broke." Ok, you're making $2.75 profit off of every $2.95 glass of tea you sell. Buy another urn. Or - as some places do - get a 2-gallon pitcher, boil water, add three 20-cent tea bags & you're good to sell 25 or 30 units at probably $3 each! But the final straw is that they seem to have adjusted the fig-prosciutto pizza recipe, swapping in basil for arugula. And last visit, they put the basil on before cooking so their blazing wood-fired oven nearly incinerated the basil. Then, when wife asked for some arugula, they brought out some wilted scraps for her but then could be seen refilling the arugula bin with a fresh batch. There appear to be only teenagers working when we go - which admittedly is usually a weekend - but maybe the owner should check in now & then as they've now lost a fairly regular customer.
