I noticed the wide array of TVs and a Karaoke stage when were arrived to I asked for the quietest table available. 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.

I still genuinely love shopping at this store--it's my go-to and the only convenient, walkable spot…read morewhere I can grab last-minute essentials since I don't drive. Because of my schedule, I often rely on making it there right before closing. That's why it was so frustrating to see the new police officer working September 12, 2026 around 7:45 PM turn away about 17 to 20 people (including myself) who were trying to get in about 15 minutes before the store actually closed. I've frequently been able to enter 5 to 15 minutes before closing in the past without any issues. Turning away that many customers is a huge hit to business, and honestly, the workers are there getting paid to work until closing time anyway--they want their paychecks to reflect that they worked right up until the doors shut. Moving forward, I really hope management speaks with this new security officer so regular customers aren't locked out early.

The food was delicious, the views were unmatched, and it ended up being such a great find. There was a lovely selection of local beers, and the menu had plenty of great options for the whole family.

Once seated, the service was fast, friendly, and attentive. I ordered the salad of the day, which featured fresh apples, and it was absolutely delicious! My husband had the chicken sandwich with brie and apples, and he loved every bite. The rooftop views are beautiful, and with the perfect fall weather, it made for such an enjoyable lunch. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Ellijay, especially during apple season!

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.

The wrap-around deck provided a nice scenic view while nestled deeply in the wooded forest of N. Georgia. We enjoyed the well cleaned/organized 2 bedroom loft-style accommodations, hot tub, strong wireless internet (some didn't comprehend what unplugging meant), washer/dryer, propane grill, fully functioning kitchen & appliances. All the cabins are uber dog friendly (sorry my feline friends) with providing free amenities - a large pet bed, food and water bowls, toys, treats & beach towels. There's no size, weight limits, breed restrictions, or pet deposits...where's the love for the Kats? The nearby Benton MacKaye Hiking Trail is easy to access during daylight & all pathways leading to the main road is gravel. We will be back to try another of the many cabins that the Sliding Rock Property Management offers. I strongly suggest looking at the rental terms & requirements before reserving as there are many to agree & adhere to.

Very misleading the directions we got was ridiculous we were coming from Chattanooga but their directions brought us from Atlanta. Why not just give people the physical home address with the street address and let them Google it themselves. You treat people as though they are too stupid to know how to Google the address. We had to end up asking local people where the specific road it was on was because we drove around a half an hour trying to find it with the crappy directions provided from you. It would have been so much easier if we had the house number the name of the road the house was on and let us Google it from our home. The 12 pages of fine print rules should be given to someone before all the money has been paid and they're locked into a contract they may not want to be in. Had I have read all those rules before you got my money I probably would not have agreed to it. I have cleaned hotels from Holiday inn Express to Roach motels on highway 19 in Florida. Nowhere I have worked has ever required the guest to have a checklist they're required to do. I paid an extra $200 over what the room was supposed to cost for cleaning yet my guest and I were required to strip the beds take out the trash load and unload the dishwasher.... All the cleaning staff had to do was do the laundry which consists of the sheets and the towels they apparently do not wash their comforters . So when you sit on the comforter you're sitting on whatever the last guest left behind. Their ad said lake and a mountain views all we could see were trees. Had to leave the property to see any mountains or lakes rivers anything. This was my first vacation I'm in my 60s it wasn't what I had hoped it would be. They say their dog friendly yet don't want any dog hair on the furniture the beds I brought my own blankets from home to cover all of their stuff so that my dog could be on the furniture . Not very dog friendly if my dog isn't allowed to sit on the couch or sleep in the bed with me like he would at home. Then when I try to bring this to their attention they blocked me on Facebook and ignore my emails they are not the only game in town guess I'll be checking out Big sky or somewhere else nearby there or maybe go to Gatlinburg next year. I wanted to come back to sliding Rock and rent something on the water but I'd be afraid what I would get would not match the photos they show I feel like that is false advertisement. The gas grill on the back porch I had planned on making burgers on it but they can't even bother to put batteries in it so that you can light it it had plenty of gas just couldn't light it. My roommate said it needed batteries same thing for the lanterns on the table I would like to have used them but they did not have batteries either. For what you charge your guest you could at least put batteries in stuff so that they can use it. Why show a gas grill if it is not where guests can use it. The cabin itself and all the little knick-knacks I but the photos of the outside did not match . You could have avoided this bad review buy a dressing my concerns privately but no you wanted to ignore and block me this is what happens when you choose to ignore and block your guest then I'll review I did elsewhere they basically came on there and called me a liar.

There are so many wonderful goodies to browse. Of course, we couldn't leave without stopping at the bakery for some delicious treats and a cup of fresh, hot apple cider! The only downside was the chaos created by the tour buses loading and unloading passengers right at the front entrance. It makes an already busy area even more congested and a bit hectic to navigate. It would be nice if they had a designated area away from the main entrance for the buses. Other than that, we had a wonderful time! Such a fun way to spend a beautiful fall day.
