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.

River Street Tavern

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.

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!

Chicken Parmesan (33)overcooked a little but I like crispy edges of a well tenderized cutlet. Spaghetti carbonara (30) was a delicious rendition of this recipe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
