Appalachian Grill

I had the ribeye with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The salad was delicious, but the ribeye was super fatty. The mashed potatoes were not good to me. On a positive note, it was very thick, juicy, and seasoned well. I did have to send it back because I asked for it to be cooked medium, and at first I received it medium-rare. I complemented my meal w/ a French 75, which was alright but more tart and bitter then I'm used to. It wasn't sweet at all and maybe that's exactly what they were going for but not to my liking. I don't have any real complaints. I wanted to try this place because I heard that Atlanta Eats TV show gave it a pretty good review. Next time I'll try something else. I hate that I didn't get a photo of my entries.

Appalachian Grill has something for everyone. Lots of options from fish, steak, chicken, and burgers. Service is always attentive and food fresh and flavorful. We got the chicken francese and peanut butter brownie for dessert. Comfy booths and cute decor.

Great food, great service, great price for quality and taste! Kudos to the back of the house Chefs for their amazing dishes. We had the Chicken Alfredo, Portobello Sandwich ( Makes me never want to order meat again!), Prime Rib sandwich and the kids tenders, all of which were amazing!

I have been to the Appalachian Grill many times. I always enjoyed my meal and had great service. However, I decided to go there for my birthday the other day. I usually get the bourbon salmon which is always good. I decided I was in the mood for a crab cake. We were seated and nobody came to our table for a good 15 minutes. We finally stopped a waitress and found out she was supposed to be serving our table. She wasn’t sure because they had made changes to the serving area. She was a good waitress once we were able to order. The appetizer was good, the salad was fine, but I was highly disappointed in the crab cake. It had a lot of breading in it and not much crab for what they charge you. I was disappointed and will not order that again. This was a one off. I do recommend the restaurant. And everything else I have eaten is good, just not the crab cake.

This was a very cool restaurant. I came here for a business lunch because my customers said this was one of their favorite restaurants in town. I had the creamy shrimp and grits, which were delicious. Everyone else's food looked really good, too. The staff was friendly and attentive. I definitely want to return and try other entrées.

Four of us came to the Appalachian Grill for lunch. It was a first time visit, and we came upon high recommendations from friends. All of our meals were absolutely delicious & prepared perfectly! For an appetizer, we shared Fried Green Tomatoes. I had the Grouper with a Crab Cake. Others had Catfish & 1 had the Appalachian Grill Special. For Dessert we had Key Lime Pie & Creme Brulee. Our amazing server was Ally. She was very polite, professional and just a Sweetheart. She took excellent care of us. We also got to meet the manager & the owner Jackie. It was great dining experience for all. Highly recommend the Appalachian Grill for lunch or dinner!

Had a great first time experience. We sat at the bar and Amanda & Bailey provided fantastic customer service. All of the staff were very nice and helpful. We had the smoked salmon spread, the cajun popcorn, the shrimp bisque, and the filet. All were delicious and we look forward to having dinner here again very soon.

Great food and good service, food is a little pricey but not bad considering the portion size. The restaurant was quite dark inside and the air conditioning was struggling to keep up, but overall it was a very good meal and we will definitely eat there again when in Cartersville. It can be a little difficult to find if using some GPS systems but it is located underneath the bridge, next to the Booth Western Art Museum. The easiest parking is located directly behind the restaurant.

Has a lot of history behind it from the music location and ambiance. Food is well portioned and alo though some people may consider expensive it is totally worth it for what you get everything is well seasoned and flavorful with amazingly created recipes and some new things most people have never tried definitely recommend if ever in the heart of cartersville you will not regret coming in the deserts are also to die for. Service is fast and helpful

My husband and I went to the Telles Museum yesterday for my birthday and stopped at this restaurant for lunch first. I have to say if it wasn't 1 hour and 45 minutes from our house we would be regulars. The atmosphere is rustic, unique and warm. Our server was Kim and she was lovely. Attentive without being intrusive. The food was DELICIOUS! I had the pecan crusted trout and my husband had the scallops and shrimp pasta. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. The town looks awesome but we didn't have time to spend there. We will be back and will eat here again.

A great lunch spot for sure. Our group had a couple of different dishes. The montecristo was different. Great. But different. The BLT was perfect in my opinion. I didn't try the chicken but everyone said it was great. Our server was fantastic. Very attentive. The lunch portions were very generous. I will definitely come back to try other menu items on my next trip.

My wife & I arrive, put our name on the wait list. After waiting much longer than we were told the wait was, the two young girls in front skipped us, seated another party of 2 that were after us. We told them, they only said "you'll be next." After waiting much longe, they sat us in a far corner of the restaurant. We watched waiters come and go, we were not even acknowledged. After almost 15 minutes of that, we left, went to another restaurant, immediately seated and waited on. Appalachian Grill is a horrible experience.

In spite of our arriving 10 minutes before closing the service staff was quite accommodating. In particular Chloe was super sweet. Loved her recommendations of Shrimp & Grits for me and almond crusted chicken for the wife with a cherry compote. Both meals were off the hook. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

I had high hopes for this place, and in terms of food, it absolutely delivered. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was outstanding--fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and beautiful presentation. The ribeye was a standout, and the mashed potatoes were a perfect pairing. Unfortunately, the experience was let down by the bar service. While the drinks themselves were decent, the bartender was inattentive and dismissive. It took far too long to get anyone's attention, and when we finally did, we were met with few words and nothing close to a "Have a good night" as we were leaving despite being one of two customers left at the bar. The bar staff was cleaning up the area around us as we were eating - water from the bar was splashed on my face absentmindedly as someone cleaned the area without thought. I heard two bartenders complaining about other people right in front of me and rather than providing service snapchats were made. If you're going for the food--and I highly recommend you do--you're in for a treat. Just don't expect a smooth or pleasant experience at the bar. I'd gladly return, but next time, I'll stick to table service and skip the cocktail counter

This place has changed since COVID. Food is decent. Smoky Mountain Trout is breaded and fried. I'm not sure when that change. Service with an attitude. I had to flag the bartender down to order. She was standing right in front of me working the register and had two other customers in a corner table. I told her I was ready to order and said wait a minute and walks away. The staff has no people skills. I finished my meal and the bartender didn't offer anything else or desert. She just hands me the check. This place used to be so much better.

I've been here a few times when in Cartersville and it's been a great experience each time. A very delicious menu, plenty of drinks available as well, and service has always been top notch.

My detailed review was removed. Simply put, good food. Bad service. Terrible attitude. I had multiple "Helpful" "Thanks" and "Oh no" comments. Somehow the incredulous owner had the power to have it removed. Beware to dare question his authority!

NO NO NO NO NO!!!The food is unseasoned and just plain gross. We found a bone in our Monte cristo sandwich. How does that even happen? The waitress was RUDE and never came back over except to give us our check. We should have known when we walked in and told us they didn't have high chairs or kids meals to leave right then. Upon further research this place is known for their terrible service and rude owners.

My husband and installed in and it got a little quiet. Even the people waiting to be served looked at us as if we had two heads. I know there's not many black folks in Cartersville but as you can tell from my reviews we strive to eat quality foods. As we walked ourselves to be seated we saw nothing but Trump memorabilia. We decided to leave and was saluted by a mini animal statue with a MAGA hat on. How intrusive. Took my money to Table20 up the road and it was the best local seasonal food in the area. Go there.

Decades of Love, Some Room to Grow. I Rating: (3.5 stars) Review: Loyal to the Appalachian Grill for over two decades, but today's visit fell short. While my go-to dish was still tasty, the chicken was too thick and tough. Quick fix: halve the chicken for shared plates and butterfly-cut it before frying with the pecan crust. Service was solid though. Willing to revisit and reconsider my rating. Great drinks still make it a top pick.

Arrived just before dinner crowd and was seated promptly. Service was quick and ambiance was fantastic. Meals are pricey but very good size. Loved the fried green tomatoes! Salad and soup was great. Baked potato came loaded though I didn't ask for it. Would have preferred just sour cream and butter on the potato, but I should have specified. Prime rib was just as ordered though the cut was slightly tougher than I would have expected. Still, I didn't leave any behind! Really enjoyed the meal for the price, but I'm coming with a bigger appetite to enjoy some of the heavier fare next time.

My wife and I visited the Appalachian Grill for our anniversary after hearing great things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The experience including the service was fantastic from start to finish. I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich, and it was amazing--like a delightful mix of a meal and dessert! My wife chose the Kentucky bourbon salmon, saying it was easily the best salmon she's ever had. I also had a bite and it was delicious! We highly recommend this place for the food, the ambience, and the overall experience!

Loved this place. Great service, great food ,greatprices. Highly recommend. Went on a Saturday around 5:30 with a party of five. Place was crowded, but they were able to see us right away. Food choices were nice and varied. Calamari was excellent. Also had the house salad, 16 ounce ribeye, pan fried trout, which were all very good. No complaints at all from our party. Highly recommended.

Prime Rib medium rare was excellent so was Bourbon Salmon. Drinks good, service superb.

Food was very good. I had the BLT and mushroom soup as an appetizer, others had a burger and Monty Christo were enjoyed. Our waitress was very pleasant kept glasses full. We seated for an early dinner, just in time. The restaurant filled up quickly ((Sat.night). Restaurant indoors was a little on the dark side. They do offer outdoor seating.

So the food here is above par. I've lived in Georgia since 1986 and let me tell you that this is a come up for Cartersville. It's a lot to overcome a stigma, but this is definitely a start. My date got chicken fingers (basically) served grilled Normally he asked for it fried but all the healthy outside of it. I took the special asking for rice over potatoes. They totally delivered. There is plenty of parking in the back where gps takes you and parking in the street or across it. The bar was closed to seating due to short staffing but the main and rear dining areas were open for lunch. Enjoy the change wear people make life better. This was a mill converted. Love the history they kept and all the staff was incredibly kind.

Back in Cartersville for business, my colleague and I couldn't resist returning to Appalachian Grill. The food and service were just as outstanding as we remembered! Audrey, our server, was incredibly attentive and made our experience even better with her excellent recommendation of the key lime pie--it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for another wonderful meal! Looking forward to our next visit!

Visited on 6/18/24 Got a Salmon Spread Appetizer and it was great Got a Pecan Crusted Chicken & was the best Chicken I have had Got Fried Catfish and it was great Our server Jaycee did an awesome job by suggesting food and giving outstanding service The music was a little different but we were at "Appalachian" Grill We will be back

Great little hidden gem. Visiting Lakepoint Sport facility and wanted something good. This restaurant is a short 5-6min drive away. Service was fantastic!!! Ambiance and atmosphere were nice. We had the Southern Style Catfish meal and the food was good. Next time we have a tournament, definitely heading there for lunch or dinner.

Food was ok. Not very memorable. Long long wait and very hot inside. Only AC on one side. Good ambience.

This place was an awesome find with Tommy, the bartenders were outstanding on recommendation and the surf and turf was great. Great price and great find!

This restaurant will receive a one star review from me until they get high chairs. How do you not have a single highchair for families with babies or toddlers? I spoke to the manager and her excuse was "we haven't been able to get a high chair since before lockdown" THREE YEARS?!! Amazon has multiple restaurant quality high chairs that can be delivered in one day. Apparently, they also own Ate Track across the street who does not have high chairs. Both restaurants are discriminatory towards families with small children.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect given the location and a few negative reviews, but we were blown away! We visited on a Saturday night and was told there was a 30ish minute wait (which we totally expected), so we sat at the bar with Lauren for a few drinks before dinner. We really enjoyed the ambiance, it was perfect for date night (and we met some really great people while at the bar). Her charisma was unavoidable and so contagious ... what a sweetheart! It was evident she enjoys working there and she truly made our first visit memorable. After enjoying our time at the bar, we were seated; the dining area has a different ambiance than the bar and is a bit more relaxed and romantic (the bar is loud, lively, and fun); a good thing to keep in mind depending on the ambiance you're going for. Our server lacked the same charisma our bartender had (to be completely blunt, she was a bit dull and impersonal), but, she was nice, knowledgable of the specials/menu, and was attentive so we didn't have a negative experience with her ... just vastly contrasting from the vibrant bartender we enjoyed sitting with for the previous 45 minutes. Now, the food ... amazing! I got the Mediterranean halibut (special) and my other half got the bourbon salmon; both exceeded our expectations and we've talked about our visit - and the food - for the past two weeks since we visited. It is pricey and it is small, so be prepared for $$$ and I'd suggest making a reservation if you can. But, whether you're looking for a new date night spot or a girl's/guy's night out, the atmosphere here is just great. We enjoyed our visit so much, we're returning fior my birthday this Friday. Don't let the location (can't believe something this great is in Cartersville!) or the few negative reviews deter you ... you won't regret going!

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. However tonight was horrible. We ordered our meal, I went to the restroom. Upon my return, our salads and meal were on the table. Ridiculous!!! I just asked the server to bring me a to go box for my salad. The owner is more concerned with his MAGA agenda than if his food and service is good. The vegetable of the day is always over greasy collards.

We enjoy the decor and the down home food. The portions are HUGE. And the service is also good. Our server was very sweet and helpful

Used to be good. The food has really gone downhill. The staff and owners seem to not have a basic understanding of world economics OR about proper food preparation. The burger was cold and dry, not tasty at all.

Had a late lunch today for my birthday. Kelly was our waitress, who was exemplary. Our meals were out of this world!!!! One meal was the fried grouper with a crab cake and hollandaise sauce, along with rice and collard greens. My husband being a Baltimore boy, this was by far the best crab cake we've ever had outside of Baltimore. My scallops over pasta with spinach was also yummy, along with the fabulous salad and honey mustard you can get here. A purely fabulous birthday meal enjoyed by both of us. We'll be back for sure. Highly recommend to everyone!!!!

Absolutely the best!!! I love the letter in the front window. I can only hope this business can feed every one that enters with their delicious food. Get here soon. The service, the atmosphere, everything was just perfect!!

This is a true gem of a restaurant. Food was delish and service was top notch. If your in the area do yourself a favor and stop in

This is a really good restaurant for steak in this small area. However, recently, it was brought to my attention that their staff no longer wear masks and are also unvaccinated. Which is irresponsible of the restaurant management during this pandemic. They should at least require their staff to wear mask if they choose not to be vaccinated. If you care about your health and safety, you know where this restaurant stands, they lost a customer in me until this pandemic is resolved or they act more responsibly into considering the safety of their customers.

The service and food were fantastic! We had a large group of 6 plus two babies so it meant a lot to get such great service and food.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but it was definitely a treat!!! Food was great and service was as you expected here in the South! If I had to describe this restaurant I would say it is upscale southern comfort food. Definitely will be back!

The service was exceptionally slow, the food was fair. My burger was undercooked and not the greatest. The portions are very large, which also isn't the best.

Stopped by on. Friday afternoon looking for dinner drinks. The wait time was 30 minutes so we decided to sit at bar. Let me tell you we were not at all disappointed the beer was cold and the selection was amazing! We started out with the Calamari appetizer it was the perfect amount. I ordered the Shrimp n Grits it was different it had smoked sausage and bacon bits along with the shrimp. The grits were so smooth and tasty! Definitely worth every bite was delicious! It came with 1 side I tried the buck head Chili and it was so full of flavor. Definitely worth trying again. My husband had the Jumbo Fried Shrimp and Fries it came with a side he chose the house salad it was full of greens fruit and the dressing was amazing! We finished off with the crème brûlée and that was so yummy ! I recommend this place for dinner drinks great atmosphere and magnificent servers!

We have eaten there several times in the past 5 years and have never gotten a bad meal. The staff is very attentive and the ambiance is relaxing.

Amazing ambiance. Loved the mountain bluegrass music playing. Food and drink spectacular.

This is the second time I have been to this restaurant. We came to the Savoy auto museum and asked for a suggestion of where we could eat. The food here is very good. High quality and good portions as well. I had the mussels appetizer and a salad this time and it was very good. My Dad had a freshly ground burger that was full of flavor. My Mom had the bourbon salmon which was cooked to perfection. I live an hour and a half from the Appalachian Grille so I am only able to eat here if we are passing through the area. I hope you get a chance to eat here as it is worth the visit.

The kitschy Appalachian decor was actually fun, but you better like the accompanying (banjo) music too, because you are going to get your fill of bluegrass even if the food leaves you wanting. While the wait staff was trying, sitting down to a wet, sticky tabletop and menus wasn't a great start. Cocktails were solid even if the wine options were limited. But the food. After a serviceable appetizer plate of fried calamari (with a side of honey mustard, an item which appears as a reoccurring condiment and salad dressing elsewhere too), a wilted house salad that you knew had been prepped too-long ago felt like sudden drop in quality. But the filet that followed was worse. Fully overcooked (when requested on the rare side even), mostly dry, and entirely too salty. Add to this a smear of oily mashed potatoes and you have an entree that felt more like what you'd expect at an inexpensive diner than a place considered and priced upscale in the town. While I appreciated the friendliness of the servers, that wasn't enough when most of the food, including a lead entree, missed the mark this much.

There was a giant roach in my food. I called the owner over and he was rude and insulting and yelled at me for bringing my children to his restaurant. I heard other people loudly complaining that their food was cold, tasted terrible, and the owner was yelling at them. We all got sick after eating here. It's bug infested and should be shut down.

Came here for lunch. We really liked the ambiance, it's quant with few separate rooms. Service was excellent. Food average: I got the "BLEU"GRASS Burger. Menu stated "topped with crusted gorgonzola cheese, burgundy mushrooms and shallots, and fried onion straws." There was one small crumble of Gorgonzola, 3 tiny whole mushrooms, no shallots and plenty of onion straws. I asked about condiments and was told it didn't need any because there was a reduction sauce on it. There wasn't. To top it off the burger was the driest I've ever had. I brought it home and my son couldn't eat it either. I may try restaurant again and order something else.

Just about the best experience you could have for a casual dining. Best service ever (we told them we were in a rush to get to a game, in and out in 40 minutes but never felt rushed by the staff). Super friendly. Food was out of this world good. Perfect temperatures on all the Prime Rib. Vegetables cooked perfectly. Just all around amazing.

If you aren't a full-on Maga Trump lover, you will be immediately turned off by the vibe here. As soon as you walk in, there are Trump hats on display in the hostess area. Also, a sign on a chair that says "The bar is closed because Americans won't work anymore. Make American work again". Apparently, the owner can't find enough employees to work for him. Could it have something to do with his attitude? I'm surprised he doesn't make guests swear a loyalty oath to Trump to eat there. We won't be back

Everything here is goooood! Seafood, scallops, pork tenderloin and specials whatever it's good. AND there's a little lady that's maybe Five feet tall that runs the kitchen that makes sure everything comes out to your satisfaction. She makes it! We drive from Atlanta at least once a month to eat here.

We choose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday ! Things started great until the food arrived .We received our salad and I had taken 2 bites and then my entree arrived so it was left to sit there while I finished my salad but before I had even taken a bite the waitress ask if we needed boxes for our dinners ?? what we've been here 20 minutes and we are being rushed out the door !!! so a not so happy birthday !! but I won't make this mistake again !! Gives new meaning to the turn and burn ! Seems all they care about is my money not my experience..so Wasted 100 !! maybe they make a profit but it will be from someone else's dollar !! Not from me !

In town for work, (Pennsylvania) Stopped in for dinner and had a great meal. Bartender Lauren showed southern hospitality and was amazing. She recommended great dishes and cocktails. Appalachian Grill is fortunate to have a great bartender.

We were trying to go pick up food for my blind uncle and a group of other blind fellas I have a full time job I can't leave and wait 30 minutes for food for to help him out and none of them can drive when I tried to see if they could do a pickup for them the lady was extremely rude to me told me no and refused to let me speak to a manager this place is very good I go about once a week we do not appreciate the way we have been treated and definitely do not appreciate the way they would not make a small accommodation for a group of guys that that don't have another option
