“ Absolutely hands down best burger, Ga peach burger- we've ever had!! Nate was outstanding and was spot on with his suggestions and description of what we had. We will 100% be coming here as a regular! Hard to believe this place had slipped our radar but now we will be here as a favorite! I have to add, their pretzel sticks are top notch! ”
“ Found this place by chance. Husband and I were in this area for the weekend and were driving by searching for lunch when we found this gem. We ordered appetizers and fried chicken sandwich and meatloaf. Our server was awesome and so cheerful. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had the brownie with bacon bits for dessert... yum! ”
“ We had the absolute best service at this Restaurant. We went to the Big Bear for a couple drinks and some appetizer foods after enjoying an afternoon with The Georgia Back Porch Band . The service was amazing and such a fun place. Our Hostess was great and a great sense of humor. We had John as our Server, and we had so many laughs with him, best server ever ! We also had Nate (Chef)bring some food to us and he was so professional, and yet so much fun as well. These Guys are what make a Restaurant experience so worth going back for. So much experience ! We will definitely be back when we come back to Ellijay. ”
“ Stopped by to have a drink with a friend, heard the blueberry margarita and the burnt sugar white Russian were the bartenders specialty. Let's just say that we left and ended up coming back for two more rounds! Didn't eat while we were there, but should have. The food looked great! ”
“ First time visitors, and I must say, “what a hidden gem”! We live locally and never knew this restaurant was here in our little town until our son pointed out to us. John was our server and he is an incredible server with the you the customer as his main focus. The food ...... ahhhh the food was absolutely fantastic. We will be back for many visits for sure. ”
“ Been an Ellijay resident for 2 years and how did I not know about this place? My spring salad with raspberry vinaigrette and chicken parm entree was amazing. Lively and warm atmosphere on a random Wednesday evening! Thank you to Rhiannon and team for a great dining experience! See y’all again soon! ”
“ Stopped by after a short hike for lunch and it did not disappoint. We met the executive chef, Mike, and it was such a pleasant surprise to find out he’s from the 305! Pork chops are incredible, veggies are nice and fresh, the chicken parm was so tasty and crispy, the pasta was so creamy and so, so delicious. If you’re on the area, I’d say give it a try, ask your waiter/waitress for recommendations - they know what’s good. Overall, a very chill experience - would definitely recommend. We ended up spending like 52? Not bad at all for the quantity and quality of the food! ”
“ My husband and I love this place! Everything we've tried has been delicious but we always get the "Bonfire" wings. They are wonderful! The food and atmosphere are great reasons to go (full bar, even offering local wines and craft cider), but the employees are stellar too. They are friendly and always recognize us. I am so glad we found Big Bear! Highly recommend! ”
