“Y'ALL this is what the food in heaven has to be like 😍 LOVE LOVE LOVE all my girls at the chili dog amazing place to eat and amazing people 10 out of 10 best breakfast buuuuut these bacon cheeseburgers with slaw 🤗“

“Delicious. Attitude of the staff was beyond pleasant. The A/C was not working at its prime. Notices were posted so no one was unaware. However, we found it totally comfortable. Food was great. We came for one member of our party to have coconut shrimp, which they shared was excellent. The other two had one of the new item menus and were favorably impressed. (We ate before we remembered to take pictures!)“

“Good eats!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁“

“My husband and I came to Elijay for our honeymoon. We visited Longhorn early in the week and had Stacey as our server, who was phenomanal!! We came back a 2nd time because the food was absolutely delicious & the service was from Stacey was so good! If you stop by, ask for her, you won't regret it!“

“I enjoyed the music, saw a lot of friends and the food was good!“

“I typically have wonderful experiences when I go to the store. The food is usually great. And today was no different. The only issue I really had was I had a server. I wasn't familiar with her but her name Tag said jess and she had blue hair. I'm all about some cool looking hair. But her hair was down all over the place, and I even found it in my food, I was kind of disappointed. She never returned to ask for a refill and was constantly on her phone sitting down.
I have my favorites at this location.And she's definitely not one of them“

“The best Captain D's. I live in Dothan Alabama and I was visiting a friend in Elijah. We decided to have some D's. The D's in Dothan is a 2* but I'll give Elijah D's a 5*. The fish was like it was years ago. The tarter sauce and cocktail sauce was still in the pump canister. (What a treat)! No little packs that has a teaspoon of sauce in them. The fish were perfectly cooked and large compared to Dothans little 3 inch pieces with more batter than fish. Give Elijah Captain D's a try. Good restaurant for a fast food restaurant.“

“I always recommend Pooles Bar B Que, for the food and service. My guests enjoy as well. You cannot find better brisket especially. If you dine in, most likely have to get to go boxes, because portion’s are generous. Last month I came as they closing and the employees let me order to go. Well I left my debit card in the card reader but did not know until my next stop. I was upset because I wasn’t 💯 percent sure where my card was. I called and left a message and the next morning decided to go by because I was on my way out of town. I didn’t receive a call back and no one was coming to the door because they had not opened yet. So after waiting decided to go around the back to see if anyone might be there, and they were just loading or unloading and didn’t hear me knocking. Anyway they had my card and told me I didn’t have any worries because all the staff were honest and glad they could help me, I was embarrassed about being so careless. So there are so many reasons this special restaurant in Ellijay is one of my favorite places to get a really great meal. I’ve feel like if you weren’t happy with something you ordered they will accommodate you. Try it for yourself, take someone with you!! 🤩😋“

“3 little Pigs omelette is amazing“

“Delicious!! Come here every time we're in town and the food is great. Everything was hot and crispy!

It's not upscale so don't expect that when you come here but if you want a quick, delicious bite for cheap, this is the place to stop.

For 4 people we paid only $34! 2 Cheeseburgers, 1 grilled cheese, 2 large onion rings, 1 small tater tot, and 3 medium drinks11

Drive thru available as well.“

“We’re out of towners in Ellijay to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. We almost ate someplace else because of some negative reviews about having to wait so long to get their food. We were seated immediately and our orders taken within 5 minutes. We had our food in 15-20 minutes. We’re glad we ignored the bad reviews and took a chance. Good food and plenty of it.“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“The Double L restaurant is home cooking at a restaurant. The Double L obviously aims to try to satisfy many different “cravings” and therefore have multiple food options. Many meat; vegetable and dessert options to choose from! My family and I don’t eat out a lot as I have a home business, but when we do, we like to eat here. Try it, you’ll like it!“

“Asked in an Ellijay FB group for quick restaurants that would be good with a young kid. Someone said Mr P's and I'm glad they did. We went for breakfast this morning and split several things.

We got a bacon egg and cheese on sourdough (lightly toasted), chicken biscuit, a ham egg and cheese biscuit, and a cinnamon roll (so sofffffffft).

Everything seemed homemade. I saw another review on here say that everything was frozen and I disagree. I mean, of course corn nuggets and tater tots and things like that are probably frozen, but what we had this morning was GREAT.

We are going back tomorrow for lunch!
There are no tables inside, but there's a bench to sit on while waiting. A few tables outside, good prices, and quick service. It's great for what it is!! 🌟“

“Me and the wife went here today for lunch. Our sandwiches were amazing. They also have a bakery, which is attached to it that had the best lemon bars and pecan bars.“

“We loved our Appetizer, the Bologna Sliders. Totally delicious for an afternoon snack. The view, the food and the service are incredible. We’ll be back.“

“Gr8 customer service! Yummy fro-yo. Vacationing from Western KY, very much appreciated info about things to do in and around Ellijay. Super cute shoppe! Highly recommend! TY!“

“There are 4 of us that travel together and we are always trying different restaurants. This is the first time all of us were extremely pleased with our food. My burger was the best I've ever had! I tried tasting just the meat, and omg I could have ate just the patty by itself it was so flavorful and juicy!“

“It's so much better than the alternative fast food available!“

“We arrived around 3pm, they close at 4pm. We were able to seat ourselves as business that time of day is always alot slower. There was one server on and she came right over and got our drink order. There were 4 of us and we made up our minds what to order pretty fast. The young lady put in our order and continued waiting on a few other tables. Our food arrived about 10 minutes later. Our food was cooked hot, fresh and each order was correct. We asked for a few condiments and she was back in a flash. She was Very personable and friendly with a sweet smile.
We had 2 orders of Country fried steak with white pepper gravy. 1 had mac and cheese, the other mashed potatoes and white gravy and turnip greens. 1 order of a bacon cheese omelet and 1 flounder dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was spot on, hot and delicious. They only complaint was packaged tartar sauce was too sweet and bland. Other than that we all enjoyed a wonderful late lunch for under $40! Plenty of food, like most authentic southern little restaurants. We tipped our server well and complimented the food. If we're ever back in Ellijay, we will be stopping back in!“

“the last 2x i have been their food is not enoigh to make 1 8sandwhich. They have shorted me food and want my cc to charge it again for what i was shorted which was a tea. i also ordered extra piece of toast so that means they charged me $3 for 1 piece of toast. so now 2x in a row i was charged $14.96 for a chopped plate, 1 extra piece of toast, and a med tea.when i arrive to pick up my food they tell me they didn't charge me for a tea and want my cc to charge it for the tea. i told them to forget it. get home i don't even have enough meat to make a full sandwhich and that means they charged me $3.96 for 1 extra piece of toast cuz a chopped plate is 10.99. becareful they are ripping people off. i have called to speak to the manager and some little girl tells me she is the manager and that's her shift and that it is right and no one else for me to talk to so i will stop going if that is how they are going to do business. i ate my last plater from them this past Sunday. i Will not and do not recommend any one to eat from there“

“If you haven’t eaten at Cajun Depot Grill, you absolutely need to go! The food is absolutely amazing—flavorful, hearty, and cooked to perfection. But what truly makes this place special is the owner and staff. They are incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. They remember you on return visits, ask about your family, and genuinely care about how you're doing. That hometown feel and personal touch make all the difference. You really can’t go wrong here. We’ve been dining here for years, and I’ve never had a single complaint. Highly recommend!“

“Hali was a sweetheart and the manager, they filled every request and went above and beyond to satisfy us for the minion meal. Hali deserves a raise.“
