Iron Bridge Cafe - Follow the white blazes by - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

Yvonne was so kind and cooked us the most delicious breakfast. The eggs, the grits, the biscuits, the pancakes, the chicken...every bite was perfect. The coffee was great too. No trip to Blue Ridge is complete without a stop here. read more

Perfect place to stop before tubing! It's right across from a tubing company spot (Blue Ridge Tubing) and it was perfect to stop in before going. They have a restaurant with a little gift shop and a mining spot. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap with a bag of lays potato chips (the wrap was great!). They have seating inside and the food comes out pretty quick. Highly recommend for any tubers! read more

They had no syrup for togo orders so we had to buy an entire bottle. We ordered a combo that came with gravy and there was no gravy on it.

First of all I would suggest that you allow reviews or comments on your Facebook page to be posted without administrative approval. Second if your cafe closes at a certain time but you grill closes at another time and you no longer take orders that should be mentioned on your website and Facebook page. read more

An absolute GEM of a place -- a family-run business with wonderful people and fantastic food, with incredible views of the Toccoa River on the Shallowford Bridge directly across the road. Best breakfast in town -- we especially love the blueberry pancakes!! read more

After a hike to Long Creek Falls, it was past lunchtime and we had worked up an appetite. We saw this place was open for takeout (no dine-in allowed during the Corona virus Pandemic) and couldn't resist pulling in for the advertised hamburgers. So glad we did! It took a little while to get our food, but SO worth the wait. Hand. Cut. Homemade. French Fries y'all!! They were fabulous. Don't pass these up. Who makes French fries like that anymore?? This place does! Humongous tasty burgers with all the fixings you could wish for. Go ahead and eat here. You won't be sorry. read more

Love the way the place looks. Little country store that is more if a restaurant than anything else. On the other hand the food was ok not the best. I will say that the service is outstanding & The staff is very nice. But it takes me back to the food. I had the biscuits and gravy. You could tell the biscuits were frozen and not made from scratch. I would expect that from this place. My fiancé had a bacon,egg & cheese sandwich on toasted white bread. It was bland and the bacon was chewy. read more

Burger and Fries, Shrimp and Okra plus 2 drinks. $36.00. I think the frozen patty burger on cold bun was overcooked yesterday and the limp fries were undercooked. The fried shrimp and okra were good according to my wife. We stopped in because both Van Zandts and The Mill were closed. The breakfast at Iron Bridge is usually good, the overpriced lunch we had today was not. read more

Great service and great food! What a wonderful little gem! We will be back! Our wait staff took great care of us!

Homemade style breakfast was delicious ! Service was friendly and on point! Beautiful drive for us was a plus! In the Spring they offer lazy River raft rentals among other things. It's right across the Toccoa River. We will be back read more

Amazing little hole in the wall! My boyfriend and I are vacationing in Blue Ridge and this was the quickest place to get to from our mountain top cabin. The food was delicious! I got an omelette with cheese and sausage, potatoes, and a biscuit and let me just say, they understood the assignment when it came to the cheese. I wish had room left for the carrot cake because it looked incredible! read more

Iron Bridge Cafe - an omelet with a side of potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

Enjoyed our visit for brunch. Simple yet tasy food. My daughter and I had The Tony, which is an egg sandwich, and my husband had an omelet with fried potatoes and a biscuit. Also puchased a banana nut muffin from baked goods which was delicious. Cute store with unique gift items. Enjoyed reading sayings on t-shirts hanging. After eating you can go next door to gem mining. A lady we knew was there with her son and they were making quite a haul with the stones. Don't want to leave out the employees. Everyone was very friendly. All in all, a nice way to spend the afternoon. read more

A great little restaurant with very friendly staff. Was staying around the corner at a cabin. Stopped by for breakfast. Food was great and service with a smile. Great atmosphere. I will be back. read more

Since it's not on their website......breakfast stops at 10:45. The only way to know is apparently on their Facebook page so for those of us not consumed by social media you're SOL. Not really a restaurant just FYI. You order at a counter and go sit down, the store is right in the sit down area. read more

Iron Bridge Cafe is a small roadside restaurant/general store/cafe with all the charm of cherry log packed into one. I had the catfish sandwich which was to die for. I didn't even get the chance to take a picture of it because I was so excited to eat it. The fries are crisped to perfection and the service is great. The food came out quickly and hot. If you're staying in a cabin nearby, come here for good hot food or just a quick bite. The place does have some signs that are questionable. Especially about guns and religion. The merchandise is cute though, but be wary if you're looking to avoid some awkward encounters if you're not white. read more

Great little place for breakfast, good food and great flavoring. Had eggs and sausage. Will visit again.

The service was good. And we love supporting mom and pop restaurants. Love this place every time we come to Blue Ridge!

This little place was awesome; not to mention the super attentive lady at the register who was from, "MIAMI"as well, lol. despite the small minded people who bashed this place cause of two Little's flags. Really?!?? Please that's what's wrong with people these days, True biggots are the ones who only think this is something bad? Get over it!!! Not only that I felt welcomed here, the food was great!! Good Ol' fashion home cooked stuff! Breakfast was my favorite!! Definitely going back again. Don't be discouraged; despite what people say on here but feel free and have a nice meal here you won't regret it. all day!! read more

The owners are wonderful people who offer a friendly family atmosphere! The food is great and the staff is exceptional!! We highly recommend this great Cafe!!! read more

There were no Confederate flags and no signs about unattended children or slavery seen today. All of the employees were awesome and courteous. Our server was a delightful young lady as was the cook who came out and asked how our meals were. We ordered three different hamburgers that were the best in the area. Don't listen to the reviews about service, flags and racist remarks. It's evident they came from enabled young people who disagree just to follow a crowd. There was an Eastern Indian family, an Asian family, a few blacks, and us caucasians. No one there was treated disrespectfully. No one! Thanks for the great meals and great service. We'll be back! read more

Love this place. More restaurants need to be as open-minded and allow guns in their restaurant and have a sign stating such! Unfortunately the "tolerant" people who act like that are hypocrites. The breakfast was great. The people and service was great. I cannot wait to go back to a place I feel comfortable. read more

Rented a cabin for the weekend and stopped in at the Iron Bridge because it was near. Staff was so nice and helpful. We were in search of hamburger buns, which they did not have. They sold us a pack from their cafe since they did not have available. The food from the cafe was, also good. Good place to stop if needing staples like milk. read more

Cute little general store / hot grill. Great folks, great ambience, and great food. Get the Hood Burger!

We tried to eat here but they closed over an hour early. They didn't post on FB that they were closing early so the only way you would know is after you arrived. Given the location it is hard to find alternatives. The staff member we encountered was not very friendly. If you are planning a tubing trip with kids I recommend planning to eat someplace else. read more

It's a country breakfast. But the hospitality earns a gold star. It's touristy with tubing available but it's not crazy like other tourist destinations nearby. It seems like these tourists are more locals. They have pancakes, breakfast burritos, variety of breakfast sandwiches, and of course grits and sausage and biscuits. read more

Great little spot! Fresh food, daily specials, desserts, cookies, good hamburgers, hot dogs, BLT, chili and the owners are very nice! Don't forget the boiled peanuts! read more

We definitely came here during the slow season (Christmas time), so I can envision that this place can be quite popular during the tubing/canoeing season. The husband and wife that run the place were quite friendly, and patiently took all the orders of our party of nine. The food itself was good, but nothing spectacular. For the value, the bowl (which consisted of grits, sausage or bacon, cheese, eggs) was filling and satisfying. The biscuits were a little on the dry, crumbly side. Another great positive would be that you get a very large coffee when you order their coffee. As for the "general store" that they also have, I would say that it would be a bit of an insult to general stores. They had quite a strange variety of things, and I guess if you were stranded up there in the mountains, you could find a few things you needed, but I don't really see why anyone would count on overpriced items here, when there are grocery stores 10 minutes down the road. Overall, if I were in the area again, and had limited ability to travel, I'd stop here again, but I wouldn't really go out of my way to do so. read more

Iron Bridge Cafe - Front of restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

We had breakfast this morning. It was all delicious, but the taters were the star of the show. The staff was nice and efficient. The cafe is in a cute general store with any necessities you may need. It's right by the river with a beautiful view. read more

The best General store this side of the Mississippi hands down!!!! Kim and her family share with you the true feeling of southern hospitality. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed and made to feeI right at home. The best part about this general store are the home made deserts by Kim and her mom!!!! Wow!!!!from the Apple cake, peanut butter balls and brownies they are all made fresh from scratch and you shouldn't leave there without having some of each!!!! Lastly if you driving by make it a point to stop in say hello, grab a glass of sweet tea, have a snack and chat for a while cause it will be so worth it and leave your tummy feeling all right!!!! read more

Was staying in Blue Ridge and was looking for some breakfast/Lunch and the reviews were really good. We are hoping that they are much better during the summer and not what we were given. Staff is great and very friendly but this place is just a tourist spot/stop for a quick resupply for camping and or tubing and that's it. We got a burger and the BBQ special. Both were left for the trash after 2 bites. We took our drinks and went back to Blue Ridge. Not worth the time. read more

I came here to get a homemade country breakfast not to evaluate their decorating skills. IMO, they didn't disappoint me on either. Breakfast was excellent and I love their dedication to our heritage. I seriously doubt the owners or the majority of other patrons are concerned about the decor. The local rednecks and all of us whitey-whites will do our part to help this business continue to thrive. All you SJW (Bless Your Hearts) can just drive on by and hush your mouths! read more

Perfect spot for a bite after hiking. Great place with personality on the river and the chicken salad wrap was excellent!

Stopped by this cafe for breakfast before going tubing, when we learned that the owners of the cafe also have tubing right across the street! We changed our plans and used this company for tubing instead, and it was a fantastic experience! Our group had a little bit of everything for breakfast, biscuits/gravy, breakfast sandwich, potatoes, bologna sandwich, and pancakes. Everything was great! (Pancakes were huge!) Food was very reasonably priced. Staff was super friendly. The tubing was also great. We loved the tubes they used and had a nice ride to the top of the river, I believe it was the owner driving us, and he was so friendly. All around it was a great experience. Would absolutely recommend and would go back myself! read more

Yummy breakfast, very casual dining, nice staff.. great eat before a float down Toccoa River. No frills at this place.. paper plates & plastic utensils but still a good stop! read more

It's a nice little country store. Not much in the way of provision (you might find something you need) but the attraction is the home-cooked food. We stopped for coffee and a slice of cherry pie, both were fresh, and we left satisfied. Other customers were clearly enjoying their burgers, fries, and omelettes. Friendly service abounds. The cook stopped to answer our questions about the history of the iron bridge and local area. read more

We stopped by here to let the kids mine for gem stones and get some food. I got a burger and it was fresh home made and fantastic, great service as well. read more

Tried their Robert E. Lee cheese steak and I must say it was very racist, just how I like it. The waiter asked if I could recite the pledge and I got 50% off for not knowing it ! I dotted 1 star because I saw some immigrants in there. I asked them for their documents and was awarded free desert for my bigotry. Place isn't too bad. Slave Saturdays are the best. Bring your child and you eat free!! Unfortunately I fell asleep and woke up to my child being on auction. Confronted the manager and now I eat for free for life !!! read more
