One of, if not the best meal we have had since moving to Western, North Carolina. Do not miss this fabulous restaurant with breathtaking views of Lake Lure and the Blue Ridge Mt’s. It is truly a “dining”experience. This chef really knows what he’s are doing. We cannot recommend it highly enough…..a hidden gem!

You have to try Appalachia at Lake Lure Lodge. Outstanding food and service. The Ambiance was terrific and the view of the lake and sunset made the meal special. The best dining experience I have had in the area.

We celebrated Fathers Day here and it was all fantastic. Great restaurant, location, service. Food was so great - we split fried green tomatoes and a wedge salad. We had the pork chop, steak and soup of the day plus the amazing dessert - confetti cake which I'm still dreaming about.

We were greeted warmly, & seated at a window table. Our server, Lauren, was very gracious & welcoming. She did a fabulous job of taking care of us. The food selection was very good, & our dinner was absolutely delicious! We definitely will be coming back often.

As always, the food and service was wonderful. Ambience and setting both great. As a local that dines somewhat frequently, I would like to see occasional menu changes. That being said, I would highly recommend a visit.

My husband and I love Appalachian. From the time we are greeted at the door to as we are exiting for the evening, everything is perfect. Lisa was our server again last night and she is too notch (Jen and all of the others are too). We always look forward to the amuse-bouche of the evening (last night was a refreshing strawberry crème fraiche dill sauce). Decent bourbon selection and one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. The pork belly appetizer with the kimchi and pickled peppers was divine. The hanger steak, blackened shrimp, jambalaya risotto that we had for entrees were delectable. There is so much attention to flavor and service. Already looking forward to our next visit. Hats off to Chef Tyler and his team!
