Wonderful Breakfast Lunch and Dinner! Very family friendly and a cozy atmosphere.
Doug Delaney, Realtor
The Corner Stone Café in Ellijay, Georgia, is an absolute gem, especially for dog lovers! We visited with our golden retriever, and they couldn’t have been more welcoming. The seating is perfect for enjoying a meal with your furry companion, outside or indoor as it was a rainy day. As for the food, it’s incredible! The patty melt was perfectly cooked, with juicy meat and just the right amount of gooey cheese. For breakfast, the blueberry pancakes were out of this world—fluffy, sweet, and packed with fresh blueberries. The friendly service and warm atmosphere make this café a must-visit. Great service and reasonable pricing. Daisy will definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant (coming from someone who’s been in the restaurant industry for over 7 years). I’ve never left a review before because I understand difficulties of when it’s busy in a restaurant. However, there is NEVER a reason to be rude to customers and that is exactly what happened from multiple staff members. First, the host (small woman roughly 70 with grey hair) told a party of 5 that a 8 top was going to be sat before them, even though the 5 top was on the list first, because the table open was big enough to fit the 8 top?? When the party of 5 got confused and upset she told them “you can get upset if you want but that’s just the way things work” and walked away from them. After sitting at our table for 20 minutes, our server walks up and just says “do you know what you want?” No hi, hello, how’s your morning. Then we ask to order our food and some food to go for the kids at the house. Before we can even ask about the food to go she just cuts us off says “no.” And we were like ..? She says “we don’t do to gos on the weekend.” Which i understand not doing to gos when it’s busy, but we were going to eat there and we’re willing to wait however long just to get food for the kids. Not to mention the website says you can order online… which are to gos. When we mentioned this she said “oh yeah they just send us online orders even though we don’t do them.” So the restaurant is having people order and pay for food online and just not making it? Shortly after, we asked the same host about the to go situation just to double check and she said “no we don’t do to gos she told me that you asked that and she also told me you said you had been waiting for 20 minutes and you haven’t.” Just rude right off the bat. From the time we sat down to the time our server approached us it had been exactly 22 minutes. We told her that our customer service experience had been horrible and that we would be leaving a review. Which she replied to with “you’re really going to leave a bad review with all this ‘shit’ going on?” Needless to say, we never ordered food and will never be returning. But hey, on the bright side, the food on other people’s table looked great! So if you are willing to look past the belittling, neglect, and cursing from the staff you may enjoy yourself here!!

Do not go here for breakfast! IHOP is better and just a few minutes down the road. Seriously!! I love pancakes so much, but I got the "Stuffed with blueberries" pancakes and didn't even want to eat them because they were so bland.
Others in our group got the omelette and the country fried steak, but those were bad too. The cheese wasn't even melted in the omelettes and the onions were still raw! We were outside so our waiters barely checked on us, but when they did they were nice.

The food was good and the people were nice, but . . . When we walked in, my wife commented that only 2 tables actually had food. We weren't in a hurry and there was someone playing guitar and singing. Still, we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for our food. Several people left without waiting for their food. Don't go if you are in a hurry.

Do not expect to pay the price on the menu. We got our bill and it was more than expected. We were told that they were printing new menus with higher prices, but they hadn't gotten them yet. They expected us to just accept the higher price because "it's not a big deal". They said they would give us a "discount"! I just wanted the advertised price. Also, chicken salad is mostly pimento cheese and celery...very little chicken.
great food and good people. highly recommend
