Best of Boone

For seven years, The Appalachian has asked you to decide your Best of Boone. From categories like best burger, best local band and best professor, people can crown their elite Boone and App State picks. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and people who love the High Country can cast their vote in the Best of Boone Special Edition. The issue is divided into four categories: best of food, best of lifestyle, best of App State campus life and an alumni section. For most categories, we have provided choices as well as a write-in option. The choices listed received the top three votes in reader-submitted ballots from previous years. While Best of Boone benefits local businesses and the voices of our community, it also serves as a helpful issue to incoming App State students and visitors to the area, providing recommendations on where to eat, drink, hike, study and more.
