Located on the Corduroy Inn property just north of Snowshoe’s main village, Appalachia Kitchen offers an upscale casual dining experience centered around modern American cuisine with Appalachian influence. A short walk — or a quick ride on the complimentary shuttle — brings guests to this quieter dining option away from the main village crowds.
What to Expect
Appalachia Kitchen provides a more refined dining atmosphere than many of Snowshoe’s casual eateries. The menu features thoughtfully prepared dishes using regional ingredients whenever possible, giving visitors a chance to enjoy elevated comfort food in a relaxed mountain setting.
Situated at the Corduroy Inn, the restaurant offers slope-side views and a calmer evening environment, making it a good choice for guests looking to slow things down after a full day on the mountain.
