We were going to spend longer than planned at the nearby Booth Museum, so we took a break around…read morenoon for lunch. 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.

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.

The shining star in this entire restaurant isn't even the food but was the manager Juliette. She was absolutely incredible. She remembered us when we came in the second time and knew exactly what we wanted to order. As a vegetarian she made sure that she accommodated my dietary restrictions and recommended items that she really enjoys and thought would be good for me to try. She went above and beyond to make the experience so special. Vegetarian Recommendations: * Sweet potatoes: these were incredible. They are the perfect combination of crispy and soft while being perfectly seasoned * Fingerling potatoes: these were roasted to absolute perfection * Brussel sprouts: really tasty but it was simply too much on a plate * Fried green tomato: A secretly amazing appetiser without the bacon which has a really lovely and light flavour that made it easy to digest especially with the lemon aioli * Baby beat salad: this is something you absolutely need to get. This salad was light and delicious with the beats

My mother got the pork belly grit bowl, and it is a HUGE portion with tender pork belly, creamy grits and two eggs cooked to your liking. My father and I both ordered the burger rare & medium rare, but they came out medium well. While it was still good, a $17 burger should be cooked to temperature, which is why the food received a 4 star rating; the waitress apologized and offered to have it remade, but I'm the kind of person that does not send food back to the kitchen. I'm a little surprised that a manager didn't come around to check on the table after the feedback was given. Higher end restaurants usually receive a visit from one, and considering the order was a little off, I would think that definitely warrants it. The interior has a very clean and classy look, bright white walls and linen table cloths, decorated with vibrant artwork created by local artists. All in all, we will return if we visit Cartersville again.

We have driven by this place and we decided to stop in for dinner. We were not disappointed it was nice open restaurant. We ordered draft beer to start it was very cold and refreshing! We ordered the House Italian Cold Sub, it was very tasty. The bread was fresh and full of flavor, the meats were fresh and very plentiful! Will definitely stop by and pick up one of these in future. Our pizza was made to order. Cooked to perfection. Plenty of cheese and toppings, the sauce was good. Nice place to stop in for dinner or lunch they close on Sunday and Monday. Our server was very attentive if my stars were for service only I would give 5 stars! Definitely worth trying here in Cartersville! read more

We really haven't tried Armando's, mainly because we can't get to an online menu from YELP to place an order. TripAdvisor menu is available, but not descriptive.

My…read moreonline search led me to this restaurant, and I ordered an 18 inch pizza, figuring that it would not only be a nice birthday pizza, but also feed me for a couple of days. My experience was extremely disappointing. First, it was clear that no f**ks were given by the kitchen staff because the pie was too large for the box, so they just folded it over so it would fit. This, obviously, is less than ideal, because the toppings stuck to the part of the pizza it was folded over. Not a good start. Then...the taste. Either someone in the kitchen dumped a butt load of salt onto the pizza or the dough was made with too much salt, because all I could taste was SALT. The toppings, when peeled off, were quite edible with no salty taste, so I can only conclude that the pie was either sabotaged in the kitchen or the dough it was made from is garbage. Thank you, Saporitos, for ruining my birthday pie. I will not do business with this restaurant in the future and I recommend that anyone seeking an alternative from the major pizza places avoid this business unless you enjoy a pizza that just tastes like bloody SALT.
