We went in about 45 minutes before they closed. They were out of both of their beef steak options and skinny fries. Spouse got the Roasted pork and unfortunately was really greasy and full of fat, must have been the bottom of the barrel since it was almost closing time. My salad was good but not a lot on the salad itself; lettuce (very pale), tomato, and crasins. I ordered the grilled chicken extra. The chicken was cooked nicely. The tamale appetizer was good. The ham croquets were not what we expected, not bad but would not order again, just my personal preference. When we paid, my spouse mentioned he was not happy with the roasted pork and the waitress said he should have mentioned it and they would have made it right. Clean restaurant but ladies' room was out of paper towels. read more

A quaint little gem--good food and excellent service... service with a smile and all waitstaff readily available & eager to assist. I enjoyed the CHICKEN FRANCAISE (buttery & lemon-y... Yum-OH!) with a side of sliced garden TOMATOES --definitely worth having... again & again.

The food here was incredible and so flavorful. The deviled crab, plantains, pulled pork and bean soup were wonderful treats after a day of hiking. Thank you for the great service! read more

So far the best Cuban food I've had since I moved. Grew up in Miami and they're on par with Miami Cuban food. Service is great.

GET THE CUBAN SANDWICH! Yep, get the Cuban. Very tasty. No bar, so it's mostly fountain bevs. Service is QUICK. Cost is reasonable. Good atmosphere. Stays near the top of my list, especially for lunches. RECOMMENDED! read more

When you are from Miami you have very high expectations when it comes to Cuban food. And we were surprised at how well this restaurant delivered on all the classic Cuban dishes. We were so happy to find some comfort food in the middle of the mountains. The best dish was the pork, and please don't try to make this dish southern and order it w BBQ sauce you gotta go with the authentic mojo sauce. It's amazing! The only thing I wished they had were pastelitos! Also, croquetas were super expensive! read more

Dan's Grill - Curbside pickup available - Cuban Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

It was very busy, but the service was still not bad. The yuca was delicious and so were the tostones. Dans flan was delicious!!!!

Very tasty and plentiful plates. Friendly staff. Dining room a bit small but the flavor of a huge restaurant.

Holy crap this place is amazing!!!! Who would have thought a super awesome cuban place in the mountains of North Georgia! Everything we have ever had here is amazing. My wife and her family are from south Fl and they say this is as good or better than any down there. The owners are cuban so they should know cuban food! Always ask about the special for the day. One of us usually will get it! Totally amazing cuban place in Blairsville. Come here! read more

Cuban food in GA! As. Miamian, not only was I surprised but I was also skeptical. The food was very good and so was the friendly service.

Love Cuban. My favorite here is their vaca grits. They have a great Cuban sandwich as well.

The food is good the restaurant is clean, the service is very slow. My complaint, it's the only Cuban restaurant that does not serve bread with the meal it's à la cart. Maybe it's because I'm a Miami boy and raised eating at Perino's, Versailles and other Cuban restaurants in Miami, where all the meals come with rice, plantains and bread. read more

Had the Pork Lechon Sandwich. Pork was fatty, dry and burned, Bread hard and dry. Dan's quality has fallen off! Would not recommend. read more

The food was unbelievable. It was the BEST Cuban I've ever had and we are from Florida.

Great Stop to contribute to the Latin community. Food I was good. It takes me back to Miami style food. Que Viva Cuba

I have eaten here many times in years past. Went to Miami and Little Havana earlier this year and none of them including the famous ones were better than the Cuban sandwich and black beans at Dan's Grill. read more

I almost don't want to leave this review to keep this, my favorite restaurant, from getting so packed. If you're searching for delicious mouthwatering Cuban food this is the place to go!! The service is always great even when it's packed. The food is always spectacular! All the meats are divinely cooked! When we go we always order the soap of the day - now we don't even ask which one they have that day because they are all fantastic! I cannot say enough amazing things about this small restaurant- it is a wonderful family-run restaurant! Highly recommend! I just read someone else's review - I, also coming from Miami, disagree with the comment that this place is nothing great compared to Miami Cuban restaurants. I think it beats several of the Cuban restaurants in MiamiI went to, including Versailles - only thing it doesn't have is liquor, but the food by far makes this place worth it. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when our family took us to this Cuban restaurant. We had great food. The service was a bit flat but attentive. The roasted pork with herbs was delicious. Sweet plantains perfectly cooked. I had asked if the tomatoes were ripe and assured that they were--not so much. For $2.99 for 3 slices of tomatoes, they should invest in some locally grown ones in the summer for great flavor. We had the Mojito "chips" for an appetizer. These are perfect for a little bite before the meal. And we took some pastries home with us for later: dulce de leche cookies and guava filled pastries were a hit late in the afternoon. While the ambiance is typical down home Blairsville, you need to stop in at Dan's for a great meal. read more

My wife and I went to Blairsville in search of land we could buy last summer. We are both of Cuban descent and wanted to see how far a Cuban restaurant would be and were surprised to see one right there in Blairsville. The food was absolutely amazing. It was well prepared and very flavorful. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. We did end up buying and while we intend to explore what else the Blairsville/Blue Ridge area has to offer, this will for sure be one of our favorite spots! read more

Meat very undercooked, almost raw when we ordered medium. Asked to have it cooked more, came out black but still raw on inside. Owner very rude when we told him and said it was medium even though it was very red and chewy. If they had cooked it 1 min less it would have been straight up raw. Would have given 2nd chance but not after owner was rude and argued the point. read more

I've eaten authentic Cuban Food for mostly my entire life. This is the Real Deal. The Cuban Sandwich was just like the ones I ate in Tampa. Great food and service! read more

Among the picturesque mountain vistas of the lovely rural town of Blairsville stands an Island Gem rich with delicious outstanding fine dining Caribbean and Cuban delights so masterfully exquisite that they would please even the most discerning pallet! This establishment is bustling with patrons as the waitstaff helps each other out in a team fashion to make sure that all are served in the business that comes from the delightfulness of this 5 star cuisine. Everything is cooked to perfection, the sauces are sublime. The chef constantly checked out the service window to make sure his customers were bing served in a timely manner. I was deeply impressed at the kindness and courtesy displayed by the waitstaff even in their busy rush. One note is you do collect and pay your bill at the counter. If you love classic delicious authentic Cuban Caribbean style food and don't want to go to Miami to find it, try Dan's! You won't be dissatisfied! read more

There is nothing at Dan's less than great. The guys in the kitchen do an amazing job as does rest of the staff. The Snapper Franchise is off the charts and the Churrasco steak is the best you will ever have, anywhere. From a Cuban sandwich to Pork steak, always great food! read more

Ribeye steaks were excellent...top quality meat, perfectly seasoned and prepared. Very good apps and sides with helpful and friendly service. A local favorite based on the crowd! Fair pricing especially considering the quality of the food. read more

Best burger in town! I know it might sound strange to suggest the burger in a Cuban joint, but it's the best thing in the menu.

Lots of items of interest on the menu. I will return again. Great service, too. Nice family style atmosphere.

First time visit Excellent waiter Clean looking place Food excellent Frys very good Sandwiches very good Mango desert very good The owner knows how to run a restaurant So hard to find good food around here I'll be back often read more

It is amazing to have an incredible cafe like Dan'S Cuban Restaurant in the No. GA mountains. Right out Miami authentic Cuban food. This is one of those restaurants where you can close your eyes, point to a spot on the menu, and you have ordered an amazing dish. I am hooked on the Chicken Madeira, which is lick the plate good. The servers don't even bother to ask what I want, they just write it down , smile, and move on to my wife. There is something for everybody here. Even my grandkids love this place. Prices are very reasonable and the service is great. Love this place. read more

We were very pleased with our meal here, we were not expecting such great food in a strip center with tables with laminated local ads. We had a variety of apps, soup, and sandwiches. Everything was fresh, delicious, and hot. We arrived at lunch time so we were not in the mood for a large meal, but they have an extensive dinner menu. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Blairsville. During these crazy times, we are making a point to order takeout from the best restaurants in the area - and Dan's is #1! Since we don't do Facebook, I scanned and uploaded the menu here for everyone. Please do support our local restaurants as much as you can now, so they will still be here for us when COVID-19 is under control. read more

My wife and I went to Dan's Grill for the 1st time for lunch about 1:45 pm. on Saturday July 31. The place is located in the same shopping center as JJ Willys. The parking lot is of decent size and we were able to park right at the front door. We walked in a found a pretty packed restaurant but was seated immediately. The waitress quickly took our food and drink orders. We both had a large cuban with black beans. I added plantains and boiled (you can also get them fried) yucca with yucca con mojo. 1st off I judge a good Cuban food place by their mojo and this is as authentic as it gets. Garlicky goodness that permeates the yuca which comes out really hot from the oven. Get it! Do NOT think about it. Just get it and thank me later. 2nd I judge a good Cuban place by its cuban... this was excellent. Plenty of meat, cheese, mustard, mayo and most importantly : a taste of pickle in every bite! You would be surprised how many authentic cuban joints skimp on pickles. I once had a Cuban in the Tampa airport that put 1 tiny nickel size dill pickle on each half. The folks in Ybor City, a few miles away (and home to some authentic cuban food) must have been puzzled by that. The bread is authentic as well. The black beans were really good too! In fact the plantains were carmelized and served warm and sweet. So why not 5 stars? Our food and drink orders were taken quickly but took awhile to get...but we were ok with that because they were slammed. But our waitress disappeared for a bit at times when we needed more napkins, an update on our food, or a refill on drinks. We were able to flag down another waitress on 1 occasion and the owners wife got us an update. All in all service was good but slow at times and missing at a couple of points. Great dining experience! We will be back! You should go! We cannot wait to come back and try the ropa vieja, picadillo, and other authentic cuban meals. read more

I would give this place 3.5 stars but yelp doesn't allow that. Very generous salmon portion. Dressing not made in house... philly was mediocre... burger was good. Onions burnt, plantains undercooked... but nice service and a decent price. read more

This is my favorite place to eat! I Cuban and from Miami and this is the Best Cuban Food. We drive up from Ellijay just to eat here.

Best burger in BlairsVegas!! Great fresh food -- always! Fantastic authentic Cuban food.

This Tampa girl was able to find a Cuban restaurant waaaaay up here in this teeny tiny mountain town that earned rave reviews on Yelp. When we saw the pic of the not-so-ham-heavy Cuban sandwich at Dan's Grill (nothing ruins a Cuban like excessive ham) we immediately had a craving for home and decided we would give it a shot. Delish! Delish! Delish! In fact, better than most Cubans back home. We got to talking to the owners who were Miami transplants that fell in love with the area. They decided to open up shop and bring authentic Cuban food to the thin-air breathing masses and have had huge success! Speaking of thin air, when I asked Dan where they get their bread from (since it tasted WAY too good to be a french loaf from the local supermarket) they proudly boasted "from La Segunda Central in Tampa. We have it shipped every week and freeze it. We tried to bake it but the altitude didn't work well with the baking process." Well, you can imagine our surprise when we boasted our trek from the hometown. Such a small world I tell ya! Not only was the sandwich satisfying, but their black beans and tostones were as real as it gets. As we paid our less than $20 tab, Dan dared us to try a few of his homemade croqueta de jaiba (devil crabs). Challenged accepted. Best I've ever had, hands down. Dan's is proof that you can find hidden gems in the strangest of places! read more
