The restaurant in my opinion, is too expensive for a family on vacation. If the buffet prices were lower, I would eat there more often. For a Georgia State Park, Georgia should either make the restaurant more affordable, or sell the lodge to a high end resort, where you expect high prices. Their are no other places to eat at the lodge. You can either eat at the lodge or drive 10 miles to another restaurant. Given the cost of the restaurant, I am not sure that I would stay at the lodge, even though the views are fantastic.

This was a true treasure of a find in the quaint downtown Ellijay. My friends and I wanted to stop…read morefor a coffee and the trip completely changed when we stopped here, in such a good way. This used to be called the Ellijay CoffeeHouse House, but is now Mountain Town Coffee at Hemlock Bazaar (hopefully Yelp will accept my edits), and it has a great vibe. There's a back entrance and courtyard which we came through. The decoration is wacky- I don't know how else to describe it. It's old school and nostalgic but strange. On the other side of the wall there's an entire book store that is part of the business. It had one of the most impressive collections I've seen in a bookstore in awhile. It wasn't huge but it had a great variety of genres, and a lot of intriguing titles I hadn't heard of but sought to remember for later. The man working the register was a charm- he told us how Ellijay has their own tv production (which they were playing on an old school tv), a special Bigfoot podcast and more. Lastly, the coffee was, of course, delightful. I had a latte with a little bit of spice in it that was perfect to warm a person up in the cool early spring air when we were there. Had we known this would be such a cool stop I think we would have bargained even more time to just hang and enjoy the atmosphere. I think it could be a good place to sit and do work or read and there's lots of spaces to sit so it's not too loud.

I had the smoked sausage, eggs and potatoes with cheese and onions and biscuit w/gravy.

The coffee... even without real cream, it was delicious. The corned beef hash was unique in that it was cooked with small chunks of onion a top a bed of breakfast potatoes. It was really tasty and not too salty. My eggs were extra large and cooked to my liking. My husband liked the cheesesteak with amazing wedge cut potatoes. He would get it again. My teenager got the pork chop and eggs. She doesn't like pork and therefore doesn't eat it so I'm not even going to try to write anything about it other than it looked thin but good. The service was great- she brought refills when needed and checked on us frequently. We'll come back to because I really want to try the Vietnamese coffee and there are definitely other intriguing menu items. Our only complaint is the parking situation has gotten worse in downtown Ellijay so if the weather is at questionable, we may not make the long trip from Pickens County.

As a Latina woman, I was deeply uncomfortable with what I saw and experienced here. I expected to see Trump merchandise given the area, but what truly alarmed me were the "White Privilege Cards" being sold. That sent a very unwelcoming and unsafe message. On top of that, a staff member watched my partner and me closely throughout the store, and diners gave us cold, judgmental stares. I still ordered a hamburger, but the food was nothing special--certainly not worth the uncomfortable experience. Honestly, you're better off cooking at home. The only thing this place seems to offer is a space that caters to a privileged few. Very disappointing, especially compared to the glowing reviews I had read beforehand.
