Cartecay Vineyards 5704 Clear Creek Road, Ellijay Wineries • $$

“Five stars! Our group of two couples (all over 75) had a wonderful visit to Cartecay Vineyards. We tried the wine sampler and thoroughly enjoyed the selection. Our absolute favorites were the Chimney white wine and the Law Man red wine. A special shout-out to our servers, Terra and Maria, who were both outstanding and made our visit memorable. Highly recommend!”

The food was incredible, and we can’t say enough about the service, Will & Lani gave us such a fun, informative tour, teaching us about how they grow their own grapes and make their own wine from start to finish. Loved learning the whole process! Add in the beautiful views and it was just a perfect day. We will absolutely be back”

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.”

“The place feels disorderly. There are too many different things in the place. They need a unifying theme. There is a book store/fantasy gaming area in half the coffee shop. I guess they have to cater to who they think their customer is going to be. I don't know if a coffee shop alone will pay the bills. It is kinda of an unsettling place. The old couches and chairs are direct from a thrift store and I won't sit on them. The outside seating area has been neglected. Years ago different owners had created a different atmosphere. The current owners need someone to come in and make some improvements. I want them to be successful, right now I don't know how they will built a customer base.”

“Love the store. It has everything you're looking for in health food items. I purchase there when visiting Ellijay. The only complaint I would have is that I overheard the person behind the counter scaring a customer about certain things. Like taking the covid shots and how you will die after 5 years. They truly should stick to selling health food items and try not to scare their customers away.”

“I had the pleasure of stopping by White Columns Restaurant in Ellijay, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. It has that perfect small-town, hometown feel, and the entire staff was incredibly polite and professional.
What really stood out was their breakfast menu, which they serve all day even at dinner time. I ordered scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit with white gravy, and it was absolutely excellent. The gravy was nice and thick without any sausage, exactly how I like it. Everything was prepared perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.”

“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”
