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.

We love the entire crew here at Sawmill Place. Everyone is always so kind and helpful. Never a complaint from us! The service is top notch, the food is incredible, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I recommend something with a biscuit. My wife loves their pancakes and the breakfast wrap. My personal favorite is the brisket hash. Also the in house coffee is Jumping Goat Coffee Co. out of Helen, Ga. They support many local farms and businesses. Gotta love this type of place. Genuine people and delicious food. They have it figured out.

I was impressed with the sawmill place. I came in at 8am on a Saturday and the place was already packed. But, thanks to the friendly folk we we're seated in 5 minutes. Plenty of great southern breakfast options for you here. I chose the banana nut bread french toast. It was very good. No syrup needed here. Don't miss the sweet potato pancakes or their very own locally sourced sausages! A friendly, local diner with great food and a big heart.

Brenda J Stroer
Great food and super friendly and efficient service!
If you haven’t been, and get the chance, definitely go!
We ordered from the Valentine’s Day menu. This was our first time eating here & we will definitely be back! The environment was welcoming & the service was excellent. Everything we ordered from the fried green tomatoes appetizer to the salad & then our entrees was delicious! We took the key lime pie to go & enjoyed it very much. Thank you for not only a marvelous meal but for caring for local farmers & supporting our community.

My husband and I ate lunch here today and were amazed at how fresh and delicious our food was! But I guess that's what you should expect from a farm to table restaurant. 😊 The service was great and all. We will definitely be going back again soon.

There is always a wait for a reason! Good ole southern cooking and hospitality at its finest! I've never had anything bad here! They were able to accommodate my 7 month old by cutting up some apples for her as well! And it's guaranteed your coffee will never run out!

Insanely good, authentic Southern cooking. As a girl from Mississippi whose grandfather made her breakfast every Saturday growing up, this place is about as good as it gets. The pancakes almost made me cry, it was so amazing. The buttermilk biscuits were fluffy and light and so, so tasty, the country ham was super salty and perfect, and the coffee was a solid cup to really bring it all together. I feel like I could go work in the fields after a hearty breakfast like this.

The "Brisket Hash" was very tasty and full of flavor. The brisket was very tender and the hashbrowns were cooked just right with the right amount of crispy. The biscuit that came with the meal was very soft and thick. I also got a pecan pancake on the side and it was easily one of the best pancakes I've ever had. I will definitely get the same thing the next time we eat here.
