5 Best Southern Restaurants near 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.“
