Outstanding farm-to-table dining in Snowshoe…read more 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.

What a fun vibe! We stopped in on a Friday evening and found it to be a happening scene. We grabbed…read morea spot on a couch up front. The beer list is quite solid. Hubs opted for a Fonta Flora from NC and I did the Dewey on draft. Feeling peckish, I ordered a That's My Jam. The waitress was kind enough to point out it's now peach chutney (no problem). The sandwich was larger than anticipated. The baguette was lovely, chewy but soft at the same time. We opted for vinos next. I thoroughly enjoyed my Malbec. At this point, Hubs gets peckish and we ordered a pick 3. The Spanish peppers and goat cheese were amazing. The olives are softer than expected but still delightful. The baguette comes out warm and the fig jam with goat cheese is amazing! Highly recommend checking The Green Room while in Staunton! It's a fun spot and the staff are really kind!

We had great drinks (and mocktails) and per his recommendation we got the chicken which was truly the best chicken I've ever had. It was so juicy and supple (I've never used that word for chicken before.) I got the Rib Eye and if I was wearing socks, they would've been knocked clean off. The flourless chocolate cake was also stunning. Night one was a grand slam. For night two we sat in the dining room and it was lovely! We had the burrata salad which felt like spring in a dish. We got the Salmon and the Trout and they were both so delicious. Perfectly cooked. We ventured to the wine cellar and chose our own bottle which was such a fun experience. This was such an amazing place.

We stopped in Thursday February 5, 2026. The cozy space, complete with a locally painted on the wall, gives it a warm, welcoming feel. In speaking with the matrade we learned the name of the restaurant comes from the Native American word that has become Shenandoah. After 20 years in business it's clear this place has deep local roots. The staff was friendly and attentive. Kyle, our waiter, did a great job and worked seamlessly with his teammates to make the experience memorable. We started with cocktails -- my wife had the Sage Advice and I had a classic Manhattan. Proper cocktails for sure! The crème brûléed cornbread and sweet potato bisque were standout starters. Probably could have stopped eating after those starters...For mains, my wife loved the pork loin and I enjoyed the pan-seared trout. We finished with the banana mousse, which was absolutely amazing!

The food is not just "vegan trying to mimic real food" but fantastic cuisine in its own right.

Add to that the rooftop views of the town and nearby mountains make this place a must-visit.

I had the Dilly Dally and the Roses Really Smell Like cocktails while my husband tried the Lemon Meringue Flip. For dinner we had the roasted cauliflower and pan seared cod fish.
