APPALACHIAN ROOTS

Nobody does BBQ like the south. Without a traditional regional style, West Virginians sample and fuse the various southern BBQ styles to their individual tastes and surround the BBQ with time-honored Appalachian soul food sides.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We love this place! Everything we have tried on the menu is delicious and the hot buttered rum was amazing. The little outside enclosed seating is cozy and private and just warm enough. They are practicing good CoVid protocol and I felt really safe.

We had an excellent time. The tents (mini greenhouses) were warm and comfortable. Food outstanding and service was fabulous. HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rolfs. We will definitely be going back.

We had this for dinner tonight! It was ready when they said it would be and ooh so good. Add some cornbread waffles to your order and get the spicy mustard bbq. Let’s just say I didn’t have leftovers because I couldn’t stop eating it!

The igloo dining was so perfect for the winter with heat lamps and ample space (I thought I might feel claustrophobic but it was very comfortable). The brisket tacos and chili were amazing and I am SO impressed with the clever idea to do the cornbread waffles (that may have been my favorite part of the meal). Great service from the staff, too. We felt tended to but not bothered or rushed. The food was great, beer was cold, the prices were reasonable, and the staff gave great service; you really can’t ask for any more from a restaurant. Will definitely be back.

This place is amazing and the food is excellent. I could eat here ever day. They have a great selection for everyone. I have not had anything bad from this place. Cornbread waffles are amazing.

Had such a blast, stop by for some lunch. The staff was very welcoming and fun to talk to. The food was incredible, I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Christopher Aument

First experience and it was darn good food. Ordered nachos, tots, pulled pork sandwich and all three were better than I anticipated. Will definitely return.

Jeff Brown

The BBQ is absolutely 🔥. Pulled pork is my usual order but the brisket is as good as you would get in southern Texas. I would recommend the White Chicken Chile with any of the great plates they have to offer. Not to mention the sweet and savory sauces,be sure to check out the Spicy Mustard for some real heat.
