We were disappointed to learn that they no longer serve trout. We sat in the enclosed patio so that our dog could join us. It could have been a bit cleaner with the sweeping of the floor and wiping tables and chairs. No water was offered for our dog. I ordered the "Mother Cluckin Chicken sandwich" which was very tasty. It was made with fried chicken tenders, pimento cheese, hot honey, collard greens. My side was onion rings, which were perfectly cooked. My husband had the chicken and dumplings with Mac and cheese, green beans, fried okra, big biscuit and peach cobbler. It was just okay. We probably wouldn't return because it just wasn't our type of food that we enjoy.

We are from Florida and frequently vacation up here in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. We saw the Blairsville Social (connected to Blairsville Restaurant) decorated for Christmas on social media. We decide the venture over and check it out to kick off our family holidays. Exceeded expectations. We tried the Snackpack trio dip appetizer and it was annihilated by the four of us (mom/dad/2kids). Waitress said burgers were a favorite so we had the adult and kids burgers. Everyone agreed some of the best burgers we've had. Tater tots were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Our son opted for Mac and Cheese side and it was also very good (not just Kraft from a box). Will be back. Hope to see you there.

It may look like a casual restaurant, but don't let that fool you with the food. It was absolutely delicious. We went by the farm store for lunch, so we split a Philly cheese steak. It was made with prime rib and absolutely would melt in your mouth. When we went back for dinner, my wife had the all you can eat catfish and I had the Cod and shrimp. Both were out of this world. The cod had a nice crunchy batter and came with fries, coleslaw, and fried okra. I substituted green beans instead of coleslaw. The catfish had a nice texture and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. We both had the all you can drink juice bar, which was kind of an interesting touch. You could select from both versions of tea lemonade, and cranberry juice. I figured this was a more economical choice than the individual sodas. Speaking of, they had some rarely seen in Georgia sodas such as cheerwine. Service was great too an hour server was just as down home as she could be. We had some nice conversation with her as well. I seem to remember some review mentioning No Air conditioning. They definitely do have air conditioning and it was comfortable in there on a 90° plus July 4th. If you're in the area, you could do much worse than try The Cafe At 7M.

I said im not asking for lettuce anyway only sweet peppers and banana peppers. She insisted $2.50. I said when we came in and ate you would give me a small container of the Xtra sweet peppers She said that's different. She was so adamant about charging me that I just said put them on there. What happened when I got home they were a little soggy. She is the same person who worked at Pizza Belly. My sister and I always ate at Pizza Belly and love it. This one time she was there and her voice was so loud greeting customers we had to take our Pizza and leave. Could not stay inside and eat. Pizza Belly now is so nice to enjoy dinning in. All I can say is Sammie's has lost 3 customers due to her unprofessional handing of a customer. Is it worth loosing customers due to your greed of using small containers for to put condiments on side. Ingles & Subway does it if you request and their subs are cheaper. $15.99 a sub at Sammie's I think deserves to be able to have a juicy condiments on the side as part of the sandwich.
