The layout seemed odd, the HVAC definitely needs work, the Name is questionable at best we were told by a local it was "Shades of Brown" not a good name for a restaurant if you use your imagination. Our drink order was well, well, very well taken care of. The food however was terrible and overpriced and trying to find parking...... well Middlesboro, do better. The steak tasted of expired meat and shoe leather. The chicken may have been plastic. The food was awful, we had heard so much hype of how great it was, and well it wasn't. I want to again commend the wait staff for their hard work and efforts, but this place needs a real cook. Sounded to us like it has too many bosses and no one knows who's in charge.

We booked the Chef's Table for our anniversary, and everything was absolutely amazing. We have…read moredined at many high-end establishments, and The Appalachian does such a great job of delivering exceptional food and service without the pretentiousness that can sometimes come with it. Our chef for the evening, Derek, was a wealth of information. He could tell us where everything on our plates came from, from memory. The chefs at this restaurant are THAT attuned to the ingredients they're working with. He even described what made the wines work with the food and admitted he wasn't always a wine pairing believer, but has quickly become one. Our server, Amanda, was sweet, pleasant, and incredibly accommodating. This girl noticed me lifting my hair off my neck (those open woodfire grills add an extra level of heat to the kitchen) and brought me a hand fan FROM HER PURSE. That caused one of the kitchen team to notice and bring me an electric fan. Like I said, stellar service. Even the general manager, Dan, was involved in our service that evening. It truly felt like the entire team was paying attention and genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience. Would I recommend the restaurant? 100%. Would I recommend the Chef's Table experience? 1,000%. Being in the kitchen, watching the team operate like a well-oiled machine, and getting dishes that aren't on the menu (I'm looking at you, tuna tartare), made it well worth it. We will probably do it again in a different season to see how the menu changes. @serenity_now_travel_concierge

Of the 5 night we were in town, we visited The Appalachian 3 times - not just for the quality of…read morethe food, but also for the quality of the people. From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail. The night we came in for dinner, we had the joy of having Mariah as our server. We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

The waitress was very nice and had our drinks and appetizers to us really quick, but after that everything went down hill. The kitchen needs help who are seasoned at working in a kitchen. The children in the kitchen were fighting and arguing about the orders and not working on getting the orders out. I recommend hiring a kitchen manager who understand how to cook and manage kitchen staff and use the kids in a different role. We were given two things of free appetizers because I am sure other guest walked out. We waited well over an hour just to get our food. My Norris burger came cold, dry, and way over cooked. Other people in our party had to wait to get their food and the last person didn't get their food until the rest had already eaten. I am really disappointed in Jimmy's I use to always say come to this location because of the food, but after today I don't know if we will make another trip here. We will turn the boat in the opposite direction and go to another place.

You have the option of eating inside or out. In the warmer months the deck can have a nice breeze and you may see a kayaker or two pass.

I basically never leave reviews for places, but this was a special experience. Sadly, not the good…read morekind of special. Went here for the first time with my wife and one of my in-laws who was visiting from out of town. Got seated relatively quickly, was pretty loud, but we could still talk without yelling. I ordered a medium rare bone-in ribeye, my wife got chicken-fried steak, and my in-law got filet mignon. One of my sides, (chili cup) showed up 10 minutes or so before any of our entrees or other sides. Little weird, but okay. Then the entrees actually show. Filet mignon was overcooked; they forgot the gravy on the chicken fried steak (and way oversalted it according to my wife), and my steak was still alive. The fat cap was gummy and not really rendered; the meat towards the exterior was a little on the rare side, but I was initially willing to put up with it until about a quarter of the way in, when I started discovering straight-up raw/uncooked meat. My guess is, the steak was just seared from flash-frozen and nobody actually bothered to temp it or check for doneness. At this point, I asked for the manager (which I've literally never done before in my life) and requested a refund rather than a recook, as my wife and in-law were nearly done eating and I didn't feel like holding them up/also don't want to pay for only 3/4ths of a product that was cooked the way I asked or even cooked at all. Manager actually wrinkled his nose at the steak, and agreed to take it off the bill, really appreciated that. Additionally, the waiter was a really nice guy. Sadly, I do think you probably shouldn't screw up steaks at a steakhouse, and all three of them had something wrong with them. I also didn't feel too great after eating just a bite or two and two or three fries (I said I would stop eating in exchange for the refund), so with all that in mind, I will have to give this place a one-star rating.

My daughter ordered the Ft Worth Ribeye Medium... they cooked it rare, it was still mooing. They didn't give me ranch for my salad and the bread I paid extra for was completely raw in the middle. Also my daughter mac n cheese.... wheres the cheese? They put a little bit of cheese on top and the rest of the macaroni has nothing on it. To go order is a complete and utter joke. I had to go in and sit there, stand and wait for them to scan my giftcard on my phone because they had to get the manager to figure out how to use the texas roadhouse giftcard. So I got my food about 20-25 minutes after it should have originally been ready.
