The Appalachian Restaurant
The Appalachian, in historic Sevierville, offers upscale Southern cuisine. The recipe? Find fresh, locally grown ingredients. Prepare them with a modern touch and plenty of experience. Serve them in a setting that’s both warmly welcoming and elegant.
Cooking over a wood fire creates The Appalachian’s signature rich, smoky flavors. Executive Chef David Rule worked in kitchens across East Tennessee and his experience with Southern cusine is reflected in dishes like blue crab fritters, beer battered okra and rainbow trout.
Farm-to-Table Menu
Dishes change daily, to reflect the freshest available ingredients. The restaurant partners with local farmers for what the chef calls “a true farm-to-table experience.”
Typical main dishes include glazed duck breast, pork tenderloin, hanger steak with potato dumplings, or fried chicken with ham hock greens. Appetizers like butterbean hummus and pork belly show off the restaurant’s Southern side. Wood-grilled steaks are a specialty.
Recent desserts include goat cheese cheesecake, homemade apple cobbler and pots de creme with fresh raspberries.
Enjoy Cocktail Hour
Every day at 4 p.m.,The Appalachian’s bar welcomes you to cocktail hour. Drop in for local craft beers, wines from around the world, and craft cocktails. Spirits include more than 60 varieties of whiskeys. The bar offers more than 30 draft, canned and bottled beers, with an emphasis on beers from Tennessee and North Carolina.
Try a dessert cocktail as an afternoon treat or to finish off your meal. The Salty Dude features vodka, Kahlua, creme and caramel. Muddy Waters blends chocolate liquor with Bailey’s Irish Cream and vodka. Why not indulge?
An Upscale Dining Experience
The interior of dark wood, with touches of stone and gleaming brass, is as ideal for a special occasion celebration as it is for a cozy, weeknight dinner. The restaurant welcomes walk-in guests but recommends reservations. The Appalachian is open Tuesday through Saturday, 4 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Prefer to sit outside? The restaurant’s two outdoor patios provide ample seating, so you can relish good food in the fresh air.
