They have the most amazing view of the mountains and downtown Ellijay. On the weekends, it can get very busy so make sure to get there early with the intention of having a drink at the bar while you wait. As a non-southerner, supposed to say this is a great place where you can try an elevated fancified version of southern food.

Family attempted to dine the night before but only one server was on shift as they warned us so we decided to return and give them a shot 2 afternoons later before leaving town. They were still understaffed but not as busy so we risked it all and wasn't too disappointed. Our server was nice and friendly and checked up on us and service was fast and professional. Always love their salad bar and they have a great variety of salad toppings and dressings, along with cold salad options. Everything was fresh and nicely chilled and refreshing as they should be. Our food came out timely and fairly quickly. Everything was hot and fresh. Your classic Ruby Tuesdays always hits the spot and makes you feel welcome with their standard decor that's basic and simple.

Understandable so we decided to go elsewhere and come back another day. We came back the following Saturday for lunch. We sat right away. The waitress was really friendly she noticed one of our family members was having a tough time choosing from the menu. She recommended some healthy options and even brought extra grilled zuccini. Thank you for that. I have to say I was not impressed with the salad bar and my burger came out really dry. We had potato wedges that were a bit dry and could use a bit more cheese. Overall food was ok but the service and the staff deserve all the merit.

Kayla called the chef so they could determine the options available and best way to cook them. They went above and beyond with a great attitude and attention to detail to make sure we had no worries about contaminated food. The food itself was amazing. We had several different burgers, Smash Burger, Tavern Burger and Big Game Burger as well as Get Figgy with it and Fish and Chips. Would absolutely recommend, especially with such great staff on hand.

Another local favorite located in downtown Elljay! This Bar…read more& Grill is perfect to grab a burger or your favorite chicken wings. Waitress was friendly and made it very clear not to touch her. She explained that she has an allergy to Mango Habanero sauce. Mango Habanero is one of the chicken wing sauces. We ended up having a conversation about allergies with the waitress. Their chicken wings are juicy and you get many sauces to choose from but my favorite meal was the Mahi Reuben Sandwich which was fantastic. Sweet, tangy and creamy so much better than corned beef. It did not taste fishy at all and the rye bread had the best buttery crisp edges. River Street Tavern is cozy, casual and it has a compact lay out. You get to relax and can have a conversation over a few beers and good food. Place gets busy but is not loud. Whether you're one of the locals or just passing by, leave your mark by pinning a dollar bill to the ceiling.

First visit, nice outdoor space along the river. Patrons place their order at the small bar; when I…read morewas here on a Saturday at Noon there was only one person who was taking orders, serving drinks & tastings at the bar, and running the cash register (along with a trainee who was observing). Needless to say, this created a long wait time. I ordered a flight of beer of four 4 oz pours. Nothing real exciting from the variety I ordered and they charged a ridiculous $15 per flight (seriously?!), something I didn't know until I got the bill. For lunch, I had the pastrami on rye & fries. Didn't care for the sandwich as the bread was super greasy and they evidently put the pastrami on the flattop as it was a bit hard and crispy. Fries were steak fries and had good seasoning.

Food was very good. Service was even better…read more Prices reasonable Lots of locals. Definitely recommend.

Feb 26 - We were brought here by friends who had eaten here before. I'm rarely a fan of Bar Food,…read moreprimarily because most are Bars first...Restaurants second unless it's a Specialty Appetizer. We were here for lunch. I noticed the wide array of TVs and a Karaoke stage when were arrived to I asked for the quietest table available. The Host hesitated at first since he'd likely not gotten that request before (it is unusual for a Bar), but he found a table in the back as far away from the sound as possible. Kudos Our Waitress (Haley) was super friendly and helpful with recommendations and took our 6 orders (there were 3 other tables with Patrons). My Big Bear Chicken was one of the last out but probably the first prepared - the Chicken and Onion Rings were too cold to eat. :-( She replaced them with a fresh order and off we went. I wouldn't order the same again as nothing about my meal stood out (even with a freshly prepared order), but I was very happy with the Service and Atmosphere.

I always try to say something positive in my reviews but I am honestly struggling this time…read more We sat down after a long long day of hard physical exertion and we were starved. The idea of a steak took hold of me and I convinced my partner in crime that the Longhorn I had been to elsewhere delivered a very good steak. We were greeted with a honey and dear which was fine and drinks arrived quickly. As I said we were hungry and ordered immediately - a rare feat for me by the way. Then we waited ..and waited. The salads arrived after the dinner was served. By then we were pretty annoyed and it got worse. Our steaks were problematic - mine was rare and thick as ordered. My boyfriend's medium rare steak was a thin piece of meat too overcooked to be called well done. Our waitress arrived, viewed the overdone steak, remarked "bad on them" when she didn't see our salads and left. We grabbed another server and him hunt down the manager. He agreed the steak was not what was ordered. He did offer to fire up another but we explained we were in a rush now and had to head out to tend to our dogs. He offered to comp our meals since either of us ate them and just have us pay for our drinks. We agreed and stressed we really needed the bill - we needed to leave. We did leave after 15 minutes when we still had no bill and the waitstaff were nowhere to be found (on a busy Saturday night). Just save yourself from a really poorly managed restaurant and go elsewhere.

If you're looking for a quaint breakfast place with charm or character, this probably isn't it. But if you're hungry and just want a quick, simple bite, it gets the job done. We drove a bit out of the way because of the high Yelp ratings, and as visitors to the Ellijay area it didn't quite live up to our expectations.
