“Roo Mountain Vineyards is a true gem! The views of the Blue Ridge Mountains are breathtaking from every angle — rooftop patios, tasting rooms, private cabanas and especially The Roost Bistro.
The wines and house-made ciders (local Ellijay apples!) are excellent.
The Roost Bistro, features refined Appalachian-inspired dishes with locally sourced ingredients — think fresh trout, premium steaks, foraged Ellijay mushrooms, garden vegetables grown on site, and seasonal specials.
The service was friendly and knowledgeable, led by Sebastian.
A must-visit in North Georgia. We’ll be back soon!”

“Very regular patron since they opened for both lunch and dinner. My current favorite is the appetizer shrimp with melted cheese and onions. All shrimp dishes are good. So so good. With a Texas margarita. The chicken soup is great. Really can’t go wrong.

Service is friendly and food comes out fast. All the staff was really hustling last time we were there during busy Friday dinner time.

Rarely go to any other Mexican restaurants although I still love La Catrina downtown.”

“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.”

“My husband and I were craving good country cooking and found this place. When we pulled up we were hesitant to go in because the outside wasn't very appealing. However, we went in and to our surprise, the inside was very welcoming. The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in. Plenty of seating even though there were lots of people in there. I chose fried chicken, sweet potatoes and cabbage. I'm not a huge fan of chicken breast, but thats what they had so I got it. I am so glad I did, it was cooked perfectly, tender and big. My husband got hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and turnip greens, he enjoyed his as well. We are sad we just found this place because our vacation is now over, but I do highly recommend!!”

“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”

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!”
