Review content:
The food at Appalachian Grill is okay, and unless you are extremely affluent, or either extremely wasteful with money, you would only be able to afford a salad and soup. Between two entrees, one appetizer, and two drinks (a typical date) you would be spending close to 100 dollars. And the food isn't so mouth watering that it's worth the money. The prices alone make this resturaunt not very suited towards the average family, unless it were a special occasion and money was not an issue (and even then I would still prefer D'Morgans across the street, because the food is better). The portions at A. Grill are large, but if you try to split an entree you get charged a fee. And, unless you go on a weekday (and sometimes even then) you will have to wait anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours and 45 minutes for a table. During lunch time, when people want to get in and out quickly, there can also be up to a 30 minute wait. And while some people are willing to do that, I am not willing to wait that long for dinner (or for lunch if I'm in a pinch). Seating is extremely limited and the facitlity and the owner are not accomadating to large parties. And, whatever you do, don't complain about your food if it's not up to your expectations, because you just may have a grumpy owner in your face wanting to argue with you about it. There are numerous cases of the owner getting into an all out brawl, an all out throw down with customers because they wanted their steak cooked longer or they didn't particularly care for this or that. I will say though, that the staff is extremely on point, and will bend over backwards to make customers happy. My advice: Go to D' Morgan's instead (who is a SUPER nice guy, and is super accomadating to special needs and special diets). Or, go to Barret Parkway instead.
Pros: If you've never been in there, you may enjoy the blackbear, appalachia ambience
Cons: you will grow a year older waiting to be seated
