Restaurants in Blairsville

“I cannot underestimate how amazing Sawmill is. Been around and back at least 8 to 10 different times, a couple with family members. It is walking distance from the apartments I'm currently living at which is great for me since Blairsville (outside of directly downtown) doesn't have a lot of places for walking. Let's get service out of the way first. Service is top notch with all the ladies here. They do their best to make sure people are accounted for and have multiple servers check up on everyone. It keeps people engaged and allows for multiple conversations if you choose to have some small chatter. The only issue there ever is with service is waiting for 15 - 30 minutes total for seating and food, but given how busy it always is, that should be expected. Next, the atmosphere. The amount of homely country decor, the store next by selling locally made foods & ingredients, the settling and warm lights that are about, the nice shade for waiting. I can go on and on about how when you wait or want something, the atmosphere takes you away from any trouble you could have in Sawmill. Not to mention hearing all the conversations people have or listening in to the sounds of food being made, dishes clanging, etc. brings an atmosphere that would really only remind you of family gatherings. And lastly the food, oh the food! If I was able to rate 6 stars, this would be getting the 6 star mark. Breakfast is always light and fantastic, lunch is always a load and keeps me full for takeout dinner too, the brunch brings the light feeling of breakfast with the fullness of lunch, and then the few times they have dinner is when they show top notch dishes never usually seen. There's so many dishes on here too from Banana Nut French Toast, the amazing Biscuit & Gravy, Brisket meals, and for picky eaters, a nice meat and side selection to choose from. There's just a cavalry of different options without additives, preserves, and with farm fresh ingredients that you won't find almost anywhere. All in all, Sawmill is a fantastic group of folks that caters to all kinds of folks with this extremely family & home oriented atmosphere with some of the BEST food you could have. I cannot recommend Sawmill enough to people who haven't ate here.”

“My 11-year-old granddaughter from Atlanta came up to visit and all she wanted was a Japanese bowl. Wow! Sushi shake this was Amazing! The chicken with the poke bowl was the best we ever had!”

“We have dined at Michaelee's for years and loved every experience. Their cuisine is superb and the ambience is well worth the visit.”

“Great Cuban food and service authentic Cuban food 👍”

“Excellent barbecue can’t go wrong”

“Piggy bowl, mofongo balls & tostones. Delicious food & great service!”

“We enjoyed a delicious late lunch at this facility. I was happy with my trout sandwich, and my husband loved his potato leek soup and turkey avocado sandwich. The icing on the cake was truly the limoncello cake. Nice selection of wines and beers. Our server was very attentive and ready with suggestions for the best meal. We definitely will return.”

“We always have a good experiencd. They go the extra mile and will even make your favorite pizza when you ask them to. You can always find fresh hot pizza and a delicious salad. My big family loves Downtown Pizza, 5 out of 5.”

“Excellent spot with friendly service. Arrived here before they opened to get takeout. We were invited in a bit early to order. The wraps were wonderful - a group of 5 & everyone was happy! The decor is fantastic! If you are in the area, I’d highly recommend.”

“We loved our get-a-away in Cabin 28! The views and cabin were lovely. The staff were all welcoming, friendly, and professional. We ate one meal at the Flying Trout and wished we were staying longer to eat there again. We will definitely be back!”

“Their Greek fries are amazing!!!!!”

“don't bother this place should close the door no one there wants to work...make promise and can't keep..drove hour for nothing because they can't answer the phone..thanks for no stew you promise your self..come there you hide good I got your number. lost my business”

“Chef Brian is a true sushi master, he has amazing sushi creations. The place is clean and you can tell the staff really cares about what they do. I've had sushi all over the states and this is one of the best spots.”

“Absolutely delicious food and the sweetest staff!”

“where to begin. New owner Denise is rockin' it - 5 star friendly service, great menu (smash burger thurs and fish/chips friday). special events. Dueling pianos last night (7/22) was packed with great music, fun people! A neat little gift shop too👍❤️🎉”

“Been coming to G&G ever since their original location by the welcome center. Dunkin ain’t got nothing on them.”

“We celebrated our grandson's 6th birthday in Helen and I wanted a cake made to surprise him. I found this bakery online and I am so happy I did. I told her what we wanted and she made the perfect Army/Soldier cake for him. Strawberry with white chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing. It was the best birthday cake we have tasted. We didn't stop there we ordered the cannoli's and pistachio macaroons. Oh my goodness. Delicious!! Thank you Melissa, we will make this a traditional stop when we visit from Florida.”

“Stopped by to get the White Christmas coffee that I saw on Facebook this morning while running some errands with my newborn. I decided to go in to check out the SAFE Christmas tree. The coffee was so good😍 and I had to get a chocolate chip muffin because it looked so good (and it was!). Love the atmosphere and the fact that they always do stuff to help the community. Needless to say my hands were full with a car seat and my bag, so one of the sweet girls behind the counter asked if she could carry my muffin and coffee out to the car to help! Will definitely be going here more often after this experience😊”

“outstanding coffee and service”

“Absolutely the BEST hamburgers we’ve ever eaten! The Bayou burger was my favorite & mushroom Swiss burger my husband’s. This will definitely be a frequent stop for us.”

“Stopped by at their new location just down the road from their previous spot. Great drinks and friendly conversation. Love the new game room and that pool table! Bringing my friends when they visit later next week. Highly recommend to those like me who look for alcohol-free bars”

“Just beautiful! One of a kind items plus the delicious ice cream. The back deck over looking the river is so relaxing as you eat your ice cream and watch the river tubers come in. The experience is hard to put into words but I will say I intend to go as often as possible. The tubing guy Hank is super cool, handsome and such a gentleman! The owner, Melissa has museum quality displays of family memorabilia to see and enjoy as well. One of my favorite things to purchase is the locally made jams and soaps. Love love this place!”

“Service was exceptional and our waiter-owner was accommodating, friendly and funny! We enjoyed our time there. Food was good but not excellent. Fun atmosphere for a birthday party!”

“this isn't against the employees, this is against the employer. My son was hired in their Tin Roof Creamery. The ad for the job (have a screen shot) said the pay range was between 26k to 28k a year. That is a minimum of 12.50 an hour. When my son got his first paycheck, it was on his pay stub as 9.50 an hour. When he asked his boss she said everyone has to pay taxes. Then he was fired for not paying for a cup of coffee. In my opinion that is a retaliatory firing because he inquired about his pay. They also pool tips which is not illegal but there has to be transparency in the process and they can only require them to pool a reasonable amount. In my opinion you are better off going to McDonald's to get a job.”

“Love the variety of options for loaded teas and shakes. �”

“Great food, good service”

“My bf and I went there today for the first time. He got shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries and I got the catfish sandwich with onion rings. We got the smoked salmon spread w crackers for our appetizer. The catfish fillet on my sandwich was huge and both my sandwich and his tacos were excellent. You just have to tell the cashier what you want on the sandwich (I did lettuce and tomato) the tartar sauce/cocktail sauce will be waiting at the table for you. Which I liked since most places don’t put enough tartar sauce for my liking, so I enjoyed the do it yourself aspect! The sweet potato fries were a much better option than the onion rings. Onion rings were more breading than onion. I wasn’t a fan of the hush puppies they tasted kinda bland. But like I said, shrimp tacos and catfish sandwich were perfect!! Also the smoked salmon spread was delicious!! We will def go back!! Want to try their 30 shrimp dinner!! (If you haven’t been here before, they have menus as you walk in and you place your order at counter. They give you a buzzer for your table so when it goes off you just hold it up so the waitress can see it and bring it to you. You can pick your own table. And if getting fountain drink/sweet tea/ coffee, you just go up and help yourself they have the cups there!)”

“Lunch price isn't too bad but does not include drink. If you add something to drink, you'll wind up paying $20 for lunch. The food is good but the drink price is where they get you.”

“This is a fantastic little business that caters to families. The operators are friendly, fair, and provide a pleasant experience.The location is ripe for tacking the golf and ice cream onto the tail end of a BBQ lunch.If I were to make any suggestion about improvement, I'd say paint the place in flourescent colors and use black lights in the evening to add an extra degree of fun.We are moving to a new house about halfway between Bkue Ridge and Blairsville. We've already marked this place as a regular weekend pastime.”

“I'm very critical of restaurants and won't eat just anywhere. This is one of my favorites and that is in part to the wait staff in particular Ms. Mary. She always has a smile on her face no matter how busy they are. She is the best and I always try to sit in her section.”

“The mobile thru is last priority now versus how easy the process was before the "remodel". I watched 5 cars that ordered AFTER me in the drive thru get their food and drive while I waited over 15 minutes for a lemonade and and ice cup in the mobile thru line. This is the 4th time I've been here since they reopened and it's clear that something drastic has changed in their training, leadership, priorities (at least at the drive thru), etc.....”

“This is the best smoothie place I have ever gone to in my life, I will continue to go here hopefully for the rest of my life, I highly suggest it to everyone and anyone, if you don't like the taste of protein powder tho maybe it's not for you”

“7/3/2024 Excellent little self serve (or can order off the menu) deli inside a gas station at Owl Town. 4 tables in a nice setting. Had the Bacon Egg and cheese biscuit. Large biscuit with lots of bacon. Very pleased.”

“Great food. The wait was horrible as they were short handed. But once we got seated the waitress was great and food was great. They just need to find more help. Better then most of the other options in town.”

“Great BBQ, however, I ate at the Rib Country in Cleveland 3-4 times a month with my family until you recently increased the prices. It was expensive before, but the BBQ was good. The price has officially become too outrageous for a family to eat out. Good luck with your business, but I will no longer eat at your establishment until the price can be reduced to a more reasonable rate.”

“My wife and I have been twice for the Wed. wing special! excellent wings, good service and view as well! My wife and her friend went Friday for the fish special and said it was very good also. Can't beat the price this day and time. Good food, good service, great view and all at a good price. will be going back regularly!!”

“Massive menu offerings and they are ok with special requests. Nice staff always. Never disappointed. Few places offer food that’s not ‘fast food’ around here. Prices are reasonable.”

“Went for a drive today from the Atlanta area and stopped in for Breakfast before hitting the mountain twisties. Had a great breakfast. Will plan to visit again.”

“Excellent breakfast good service and prices”

“It's a waffle house. You know if you like it or not. I had my breakfast sandwich at 11pm at night and it tasted exactly like what I wanted it to taste like. This is a 5/5 for a waffle house.”

“Fantastic pizza!”

“It’s one of my favorite chicken places. The first time I went to this location they did forget to give me my drink and I forgot too lol but I didn’t really want a drink anyways but make sure you check everything before you go as you should with any restaurant”

“Wendy’s is nice clean place to go there food is delicious and healthy I would recommend it place to go The staff all are so friendly b. You always see a smile. Keep up the great work . 🩵”
