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“

“Scrumptious ribs and brisket! Landon was so very nice as our waiter. 10/10“

“The location is great. It’s close to so many activities and other towns to visit. They do accept dogs so keep that in mind when booking. If accepting dogs, the cleaning staff need to take extra steps to ensure the pet hair is cleaned up. The lamp shades were covered in dog hair. I sat on the bed with black pants and ended up with dog hair on my pants. I have dogs so“

“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!“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.“
