From fine dining to the best pizza on the mountain, these are the spots worth knowing.
Fine dining, a scratch kitchen with a farm-to-table menu at the Corduroy Inn. It is open for the winter and summer seasons and closed in the shoulder seasons. Best to make reservations before your trip for weekends and holidays. Everything is great here.
Appalachia Kitchen provides a complimentary shuttle pick up and return to your on-mountain lodging some evenings, so call to arrange.
The best comfort food on the mountain, and it is in the Village.
Expensive fine dining. Amazing steak and great sides. In the Soaring Eagle building with free parking for Ikon passholders.
The best pizza, period: wood-fired, at the Corduroy Inn, across from the top of the Western Express lift. Limited seating, so it is mostly where you grab good food to take back to your lodging.
The best place for a big group of hungry kids. It sits in the heart of the Village, next to Allegheny Springs, with room to sit inside and out. If it has snowed recently, there will be a huge mountain of plowed snow outside. Plan time for climbing and snowballs.
A hidden gem right on Upper Flume, and a good stop for a hot chocolate or coffee (boozy or otherwise), plus easy snacks, soups, chili, and brats. The easiest heated bathroom to get to on the slopes, but for customers only.
A great stop at the bottom of Ballhooter, steps from the base of that lift, for a beer and something grilled between runs.
At Silver Creek, this is the sports bar. Nobody is here to brag about the menu, but the flatbreads are better than you’d guess. Go for wings and the game.
A great bar, with food from the Appalachia Kitchen menu and live music. It sits above Appalachia Kitchen at the Corduroy Inn, a short walk north of the main Village. Try the poutine.
Fantastic food, local beer, and occasional karaoke, at 85 Rescue Road near Silver Creek.
At the bottom of the mountain, great eats, live music, and the game on. There is a breakfast buffet too, a nice addition at Snowshoe.
At the bottom of the mountain, great specialty hot dogs and loaded sides. Great to grab and go.
A very special experience while you are here: full-service, high-end catered fondue right at your house, run by Elizabeth, a local Snowshoe resident. The meal includes a mix of melted cheeses, local bread, cornichons, pearl onions, apples, potatoes, and a finishing touch of fresh-cracked pepper.
Worth the drive off the mountain. Amazing home cooking, served cafeteria style. It is seasonal, so make sure it is open before you make the drive.
A good Italian spot.
If the first night should be in, grocery delivery can stock the kitchen before you arrive. Ordering details come with the booking confirmation.
The buildings you will pass on a walk through the Village, most of them restaurants and bars.
Appalachia Kitchen, at the Corduroy Inn, is open for the winter and summer seasons and closed in the shoulder seasons. 10 Prime, in the Soaring Eagle building, is the expensive steakhouse.
The Pizza Slice, at the Corduroy Inn. For a big group of hungry kids, Cheat Mountain Pizza in the Village is the easier room.
Flume Shack is on Upper Flume. The Boathouse is at the bottom of Ballhooter. The Locker Room at Silver Creek is the spot for wings and a game.
Old Spruce Brewery, at 85 Rescue Road near Silver Creek, for local beer, a real meal, and karaoke on some nights.
Mountain LodgeFirst floor, a few steps down the hallway to the snow. One of six St. Moritz units, with a wood-burning fireplace.
SenecaYour own porch door into the Village, heated garage, shared building hot tub, just steps from ski school, the rental shop, restaurants, and the snow.
Loggers RunAn epic triple bunk, a great gear room, and an 85-inch TV in the rec room.
