10 Best American Restaurants in Blairsville

“Flying Trout Restaurant My mother recently passed away, and we were searching for the right place to host her funeral luncheon. We tried several restaurants in Blairsville, but either they couldn’t accommodate us or the experience didn’t feel appropriate for honoring such a wonderful woman. We wanted the setting to truly reflect her life and spirit. My aunt spoke with Melissa at Flying Trout, and from the very beginning she was exceptional. When I stopped by to discuss table setup and connecting a laptop, she immediately stopped what she was doing and personally came over to help. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail meant more than she probably knows. I spent over 30 years working in restaurants and country clubs in nearly every position, so I understand how challenging it can be to serve a group of 20+ people during an emotional gathering where guests are moving around, talking, and grieving. Melissa and her team handled everything with absolute grace. The waitstaff was patient, sympathetic, and genuinely caring throughout the entire event. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was impeccable. It brought comfort to our family during a very difficult time, and I truly believe my mother would have been pleased with how beautifully everything was handled. My heart is full of gratitude. Thank you to Melissa and the entire Flying Trout team for making a hard day a little easier. — Jeff Lewis“

“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.“

“As for our stay at the lodge, it really is less like a hotel, and more like a relative's home; it's really that welcoming. Our room was spotlessly clean and had all the comforts one would expect. The cherry on top was the very reasonable nightly rate. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for cozy stay in the area.

Many thanks to Denise for allowing us to check in early after a crazy downpour at our campsite in the early morning of our arrival date. She really provided exceptional service to my wife and I. Service like this is what creates repeat customers! Hope to return again one day.“

“our church group (40 people) showed up and hour early and they were ready for us! Super service and great food. some. of the best catfish I've ever had! thank you again“

“Jim's Smokin" Que has the best food. If you have not tried it, you need to. The ribs are so tender and good. It is the best in the state of Georgia.. Everything we tried was delicious.“

“Great friendly staff. We eat lunch often here and the food is good. Awesome place“

“Food and drinks were very good but we had just walked in a little after 9 p.m. on a Friday night and were told it was last call due to not being busy enough (the website says they are open until 11). The place looked packed when we walked in so I'm not sure why they were closing early and could have made another $100 or so based on the number of people in our group. The death of this place will be its unreliable close time.“

“Went today with my family. We got roasted red pepper soup, fish and chips, and a burger. All 3 were fantastic. Portion sizes were also good. There was only 1 waitress and she was working hard to accommodate everyone. I can't wait to go back!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an outstanding experience at LongHorn Steakhouse thanks to our waiter, Luke. From the moment he greeted us, he was kind, efficient, and genuinely friendly, with a great sense of humor that made the meal even more enjoyable.

What really impressed us was how attentive and professional Luke remained while also taking care of a large party of 20. Despite the added pressure, he never missed a beat. Our orders were accurate, drinks were refilled promptly, and everyone felt well taken care of.

Luke is a true asset to the restaurant. His work ethic, positive attitude, and ability to handle a busy dining room with grace made our visit memorable. If you’re dining here, ask for Luke. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Had a great experience at the Waffle House in Blairsville, Georgia.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean, and the food was fast, fresh, and cooked perfectly.

The waffles and hashbrowns were excellent. Great service and atmosphere!!

Definitely recommend and will be back!“
