Coffee
Jennifer R.

Food was amazing. They had fried cabbage which I never had before but will definitely have again. Our server Lily and the chef were so sweet. They were very knowledgeable about the food and friendly. The chef even came out to check how we liked the food. It was a nice experience and very relaxing ambiance.

Menu

Staff was very nice, but food left a lot to be desired. All bacon/sausage was over cooked and flavor was not my favorite. Brought 12 people for breakfast and no one was a fan.

Club Sandwich with Fries
L M.

This was a cute cafe with live music. The food was delicious when it finally came. It was a "seat yourself" establishment, which can be a challenge for quick service. This was no different. We sat for about 15 minutes before being offered drinks, then waited quite a bit more for our food order. The waitress was all over the place, brought lemonades for water refills and charged us for them although they were never ordered or drank by us. We didn't even realize they were lemonades until the bill said we had OJ and we questioned it where we were told that was for the lemonade.....lol. So someone didn't get their lemonade! We were also charged separately for fries with sandwiches that the menu said came with them. So....all that said.... Good: Food was delicious!!! And reasonable (after they removed the extra charges) Needs improvement: Seating is TIGHT. Tiny place with way too many tables squeezed in. Orders are taken way out of order with the "seat yourself" option. We saw multiple people come in well after us that had their food before we even ordered.

I was pleasantly surprised with their food. The restaurant is a small spot with not much room for people to wait to be seated. There's about 7 tables or so. We came in & had to add our name to a waiting list. There was about 5 other parties listed ahead of us & we only waited about 25 minutes (which isn't bad). We sat down & after our order was placed we waited about 40 minutes or so for our food. I wasn't a huge fan of the wait... bc who likes to wait.. BUT everything was fresh & my tastebuds were satisfied.

Music man getting set up

We had some business to attend to in Ellijay. As we veered back home we opted to stop at a local diner on Main Street USA. Such a cute little town, walkable, eccentric, gives off an artistic vibe. This lil restaurant provided the needed refill as we left the house with no breakfast and A cup of coffee. Simple menu, big on portion sizes and flavor. Biscuits are tender and flaky as one would expect all slathered with the country gravy. I opted similar with two eggs over easy with cheese and bacon bits. Very filling but delish. As we looked around a musician was setting up his guitar for the mornings melody. If you have abs opportunity to stop here, do so. It's worth it.

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.

Oat milk or half and half were available. -No plastic knives for the cream cheese. We used wooden coffee stirrers which was fine but clumsy to navigate. -Not sure why reviews are so bad for bagels because they were fluffy with just the right amount of chew (close to NY style). I will say that after it being toasted, the bagel was not soft enough the day after to eat. But day-of, it was great. -Small seating area typical of little cafes. A few outdoor tables as well. -Very friendly service. Accommodating and welcoming to our child circus -the cheesy bagel isn't the typical Asiago most places carry, but an actual cheddar blend. Yummy.

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.

Small cozy tavern nestled in the corner of downtown town Ellijay is easy to miss but you don't wanna miss out. Love the dollar bill theme stapled on the ceiling and around every nook and cranny of the tavern. Love the support of local artists where masterpieces are displayed for sale. Our waitress was friendly but service was a little slow. Apparently she was allergic to the mango habanero wing flavors we ordered so only really saw her in the beginning and at the end of service. Food was good and the mahi Reuben is a must try as the unique combination actually works very well. Chicken and waffle was also good as the chicken was super crispy and tender and the bacon maple syrup hit the spot! Wings were crispy even when heavily sauced. Definitely will return for the Mahi Reuben!
