Easter Brunch was very good. Staff was very attentive with a packed dining room. Menu selection was great with just enough of a twist to add some additional interest. Looking forward to trying dinner here in the near future. Atmosphere is cozy and inviting.

Only seen our waitress one time. The food was good. Little expensive, one person, and one appetizer was $40. Menu was extremely limited.

Hailie was a great server. She is on her fourth day and already doing a fantastic job. The peach burger was a hit with us. The onion rings and fries are delicious but the pickles and pretzels are fantastic. Live music was a great addition to the dinning experience.

100/100!!! Shout out to all the amazing workers and chef! The restaurant was beautiful! Clean and comfortable. For those who want a delicious dessert ask for the cheesecake with the homemade strawberry and caramel sauce! Shout out to Joe for the delicious sauces. Shout out to Stacie for being such an amazing waitress. I’m excited to come back and try new things!

We were in the area and decided to give this place a try. We were greeted right away when we walked in. Service was great, we ordered the both the burgers they have on the menu …they were okay. The description says they are smash burgers but they really aren’t. The patties on both of our burgers looked like they were clumped lumps being held together by the cheese. They were falling apart and falling out of the bun after the first bite and were overcooked. I had the peach burger and the flavor combo was good but I had to eat it with a fork between the burger crumbling and the toppings sliding out there was no way to eat it normally. I still rated this a 4 because I knew they recently opened and working things out. Service was great, the interior is nice.

This is our new favorite place to go. Wow salmon was amazing and the bone in pork chop was crazy good. The drinks were stiff and live music. This is Ellijays new hot spot. They are gonna need a bigger resturant once everyone finds our about this place. Cathy our waitress was so nice. We had a great experience. Glad they are here.

Great food. Friendly staff and management. Definitely worth a visit. I’ve found that since the lockdowns, the food service industry has really struggled with getting back to being hospitable. Big Bear seems to have made this a priority in their establishment and I for one, am thankful for that. It’s called the hospitality industry for a reason right? No hidden fees, attentive servers and staff, and fantastic music that my teenage sons enjoyed!
First I'll say the burger was AMAZING. Hands down best burger I've had in Ellijay or anywhere in recent memory. My husband had the ribeye special and seemed to really enjoy it, though it was pricey. When we walked in there was no one at the hostess stand to seat us and the restaurant appeared full. We almost walked out but saw some friends who had a table and they invited us to join them. I will say the live music was distracting and in a full restaurant where everyone was trying to talk over it, the noise level was a bit overwhelming and it was difficult to carry on conversation. We will go back for the food but hopefully during a time when there is no live music.

We loved it! Our daughter is a chef and always wants to try fine dining places. The food is right up her alley. We had the salmon & steak special. Yes they were pricey but you get what you pay for & we don't eat out very often. I would definitely go back & try some of the lower priced items also.

We went here for the soft opening, absolutely great food and well worth every penny! Better than your typical bar food that is for sure! Not to mention the owners are great people. I highly recommend for locals and people passing through!
