“Absolutely wonderful time staying in the Burton Cabin and eating at Bleu Canoe restaurant. The restaurant has a large dog friendly outdoor patio with magical string lights and big trees that provide the perfect outdoor ambiance. Food is outstanding and so unique to the region. You can tell that the quality of ingredients is high and that a lot of care goes into the preparation. Their stocks are homemade! Wednesdays is oyster grilling night and Thursdays is live music. A must visit restaurant when in the area or make it a weekend getaway with a stay in one of their historic cabins or tiny homes.”

“We went for the first time today. This place is great! The brisket was incredible! The owners are really nice too.”

“Great place. I tried the restaurant a couple of months ago ,and are hooked. The food and service has been excellent every time.”

“I stopped and picked up a order for dinner tonight. We have been wanting to try Wolf creek for awhile but every time I’m down that way is on a closed day. Our Son and family has been eating there for a long time and telling us how good it was! Well today we got to see what all the hype was all about ! And it sure didn’t disappoint ! Everything we got was so good ! Pulled pork, sliced pork, BBQ sandwich, Smoked sausage, fries, slaw, Okra, Tater tots. We will definitely be back ! And this is after driving 45 minutes home, can’t wait to go in and eat soon !”

“Great environment with fun staff and great food! Decent beer prices although weekly beer specials would be appreciated! Chicken wings are great just need a bit more flavors! Great place to watch football games locally.”

“November 12, 2024 - It's official, this place has, unfortunately, closed for good. Came by today and saw them carrying off furnishings, and a big sign said, "closed." Also, I saw a sign that said the business is for sale. So, so, sad... The food was some of the best around. We'll miss you Billy and Starr. 😭

Oct. 31, 2024 - Not sure what's happening? I traveled to get food last Friday for lunch but the place was closed. My friend traveled yesterday to get lunch but the place was closed. What's up?

(New Update at bottom)

So, many months ago, I saw that this place (a little hole-in-the-wall, which I love) had a sign saying they would be coming soon. I've been waiting and checked Google Maps today and they said they were open. A perfect time to visit!

The place sits separately on one side of a gas station (which lately seems a trend for good little food places) and is small. It is very eclectic in decor and has maybe 7 tables and a counter to sit at. It is decorated with movie memorabilia and knicknacks which make it interesting to look at while waiting for your order.

Our waitress, Star(r)(sic?) was friendly, quick-witted and sharp. She had a response to everything, and it was all funny. Even though she was by herself the service was good. No complaints.

As you'll see, the menu is pretty extensive for such a small spot and the food above what we get in the area. My friend has a burger, with everything, so big and fries (lightly seasoned and flavorful). I had a pork cutlet sandwich and fries squash. I ordered the cutlet because I don't find many places have it - handcut and to order. Both were enough to bring us back to try other good items. (My only suggestion would be to have a heartier bread, like cibatta, to hold up under the hot cutlet because the bread was so-so and got steamed on the bottom and fell apart).

I wanted an appetizer and asked if the mushrooms were frozen or fresh and the waitress said, "everything is fresh." She was right! I had the mushroom appetizer and a side of squash (with meal), and both were lightly battered and delicious.

I'll definitely be back and my friend said he would as well. The owner came out and chatted and was nice and talked a bit about his restaurant background. Good to have the details.

Definite recommendation for our first time. I'll update this review next time, but you should definitely try it!

UPDATE: I've been three times now and the third time is as good as the first (second time was okay). You'll see I added photos of the "Famous Que" and the "Reuben." Both sandwiches were hearty and unique to the area (no one has anything close). The "Que" had sizable amounts of thick brisket, onions, peppers, and cheese on a toasted bun (the toasted bun is important for texture). I had a side of green beans in a juice made with some of the juices from the meat. Wow! Good flavor! The Reuben had thick slices of corned beef, cabbage, and cheese. I haven't seen a Reuben like this since the Jewish deli's in New England (not as hearty but close).

I would definitely recommend you go before this place gets a following and you can't get in. I'm going to work for a permanent seat. 🤣”

“Best pizza chicken wings Philly cheese steaks and Italian hoagies I have ever had man I can't wait to go on vacation again and get some more of that good vittles”

“Great food, price on point, they care about the business. Try them out! You will not be disappointed.”

“"A to Zinc is a hidden gem in Clarksville! We stopped in while on a road trip to pick up some supplies and were thoroughly impressed. The store has a great selection and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. As a bonus, they're dog-friendly - our pup Freyja felt right at home and even got some pets from the kind employees. Whether you're a local or just passing through, A to Zinc is definitely worth a visit. 5 stars all the way!"”

“This is a must do when In clarkesville. They have a coffee lounge, and beautiful handmade pottery, jewelry and art. I love the ' coffee flight' with 4 hand picked large sampling of iced or hot teas and coffees.y favorite Lavender Honey coffee!!!! Did I forget to mention the delicious bakery treats too. Stop by!!!”

“Friendly staff serving great food in a historic building. When in the area, The Attic will be our "go to" restaurant.”

“The owners/family is soooooo nice! Very friendly! The steak was seasoned to perfection! We truly enjoyed the food! 10/10!”

“I took all four of my grandkids in for a Saturday lunch and they loved it. It is one of the cleanest Subways we have been to and the staff was friendly and the food was delicious.”

“No one knows JUST how AMAZING the food is here because it's tied to a bowling alley. Let me just tell you..... It's some of the best food in Habersham County. The menu is as big as Texas. Don't know what to get? Go on a Tuesday and try a specialy cocktail by the best bartender ever. Start with an appetizer of spinach artichoke dip, the Greek salad will hit home. For a meal, hit the burger menu. ALL of them are to die for. Have fun, Eat happy. Much LoVE”

“Noticed this little shop this morning while my boyfriend and I were out to get him breakfast. I really wanted A to Zinc as I am not a breakfast person and prefer protein shakes. I was upset when we got to A to Zinc and realized that they didn't open until 1 on Sundays, on our way home I spotted the sign for Clarkesville Protein Place on the square and had my boyfriend to stop because I was going to give it a chance since I'd never noticed it before. I walked in with very little expectations thinking I'd only see a few basic flavors but I was wrong. I walked in and was handed a menu with a HUGE variety of protein shake flavors, antioxidant teas, acaì bowls, and protein waffles!! The lady working was super nice and gave me a sample of their peach tea (which was delicious and refreshing) and asked if I was from the area. I told her I was and asked how long her shop had been there an she told me 4 months?! I'm just now noticing it!! The price is a little high, but absolutely better than A to Zinc for the amount that you get (protein drinks anyways) I got the chai pumpkin latte iced coffee protein drink and let me just say, Starbucks who? On top of all of this they open at 8 am 7 days a week!! I am a super satisfied customer who is proud to say "My business has officially moved from A to Zinc to Clarkesville Protein Place!"

“Caesar salad: very good and the croutons are incredible. Also, the best Caesar dressing I’ve ever had. Cuban sandwich: great flavors, bread made in house, what is there to complain about? Squash Casserole: the squash is cooked to perfection and it tasted amazing. Bees Knees: shut up it’s so good and it paired perfectly with my dessert. Crème Brûlée: sweet, light, good crunch but not too much crunch. It was sensational. Bryce: Bryce was my waiter and was clearly trained well. He was attentive, informative, kind, and gave amazing recommendations. I am a person who doesn’t like to be looked over by wait staff and Bryce should honestly teach a class in how to be attentive but not overbearing. I asked for a lot of different things and not once did I feel like I was bothering him. He made me feel very welcome in the restaurant. I can’t complain about one thing. The experience, the vibe of the restaurant, the flavors, all of it was top notch.”

“Oh my goodness!!! If anyone wants an amazing delicious breakfast with huge fluffy butter biscuits and so much more then you need to come to this Dairy Queen 😊😊😊”

“The food is always good but the prices has gotten outrageous! I got the breakfast smash burger and I thought was the same as value menu. $11.99 for the burger and $3.59 for a glass of tea. All together over $16.00. I could have gotten a whopper and drink at Burger King cheaper than that. I would have gotten the regular smash burger on dollar menu if I had known that.”

“Great coffee and great service!”

“The salmon was fantastic!!”

“Great service, close by and good spicey & spooky ice cream! 👻”
