About Applewood Farmhouse Grill

Applewood Farmhouse Grill is part of the Applewood family of restaurants, which began with the original Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant. The Grill was opened in 1994 as the original restaurant became increasingly busy, giving visitors another place to enjoy the family’s country-style cooking and hospitality.

The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with traditional favorites such as country omelets, farm-style breakfast plates, fried chicken, chicken pot pie, chicken and dumplings, sugar-cured ham, and other Southern comfort dishes. The restaurant also has a kids menu, making it practical for multi-generational groups.

One of the signature parts of the Applewood experience is the complimentary apple fritters, apple butter, and Applewood Julep served with meals. The combination fits naturally with the restaurant’s setting in an area known for its apple-growing history.

Why Guests Love It

Insider Tips

Pair it with the Applewood area. Since the Grill is located on Apple Valley Road, consider combining your meal with nearby Apple Barn shops, cider experiences, and other stops in the same area.

Consider breakfast for an early start. The restaurant opens for breakfast at 8 AM, making it a useful option before a full day of exploring.

Leave room for the apple fritters. The complimentary apple fritters and apple butter are part of the Applewood dining tradition, so they are worth factoring into the meal.

Plan enough time for a sit-down meal. This is better suited to a relaxed family breakfast, lunch, or dinner than a quick grab-and-go stop.

For larger groups, plan around peak dining times. If your Sunshine Around the Bend group is traveling together, going slightly earlier or later than the busiest meal period can make the experience easier.

For guests at Sunshine Around the Bend, Applewood Farmhouse Grill makes an easy addition to a relaxed Apple Valley day.
