Oh man, where do I start. I took my husband here, because we…read morehadn't tried it before. When we walked in, we waited to be seated, we were standing close to the cash register and kitchen area. As we waited we listed to one of the staff complaining that wasn't a great sign. As we were being seated, we noticed all the cute decor! Someone took a lot of time to make the place look so cute! The waitress was super attentive! Hubby ordered the special, a Meatball sandwich and I ordered a salad with fried chicken tenders... I had to cheat a little bit. That Fried Chicken was calling my name! The food came out after a little bit of a wait. I completely understand because the chicken was fresh. But my poor hubby got a mess of a sandwich. It appears they made the sandwich and it sat while the chicken cooked. It was a soppy soggy mess. The bread was drenched and completely mush. He said the French Fries weren't much better. I asked him if he could eat just the meatballs and he picked up them each up with a fork and each and everyone of them were completely black on one side. Totally burned. Boy I felt bad because my chicken was delicious! This is the reason I added two stars. We went to pay, my husband leaving his hot mess in his plate. The owner was at the cash register, I found this out because she answered the phone while checking us out (stating her name was Julie). She was in such a mood, she was rude to the person on the phone placing an orderIn fact she was even rude to us, she scared the bjesus out of me....so we didn't say a word. I sure didn't want to complain and start an altercation . Hubby will never go back. He was not happy at all. I might go back, maybe with a friend and hope next time is better ‍ Possibly everyone was having a bad day? It was not crowded when we dined, as it was around 2:30pm. We thought this would be an asset, but we were wrong. Here is hoping it was an off day for them. Dine at your own risk my friends. Stay away from soggy sandwiches! Go for the fried chicken

During a visit to McCaysville, we stopped at Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café while exploring the area as…read morepart of our day riding the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. As a South Florida native who is obsessed with Cuban food, I had read the reviews beforehand and was really hoping they would live up to the hype and thankfully, they absolutely did. Walking into this place felt like a little piece of home while on vacation. The fresh pastelitos, tostadas, house-made rum cake, and a cafecito were exactly what I didn't know I needed that day. Everything is made in-house, and you can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. Finding such great Cuban food in another state truly felt like the cherry on top of the trip. Aesthetically, the space is full of Cuban pride. The walls share the story of how the Rum Cake Lady came to exist, and it's genuinely beautiful to read about the journey behind the business while you're there enjoying the food. What stood out to me the most was how busy the place was long lines and lots of traction yet the staff remained friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout it all. That kind of hospitality makes a big impression. Thankfully, after a quick search, I discovered there's another Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café location not too far from the cabin we were staying at in Blue Ridge. Of course, we had to go back this time for dinner ordering the classic media noche! If you're visiting the area and craving something authentic and full of flavor, this place is a must. I'm really hoping they continue to expand, because what they've created is truly special.

Unfortunately, I'd only gotten the Bundt cake and IMMEDIATELY wished I'd gotten at least another one.

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.

Never had a check in from the waitress, so no refill on drinks during the entire meal. She was having a lengthy conversation with another table. Do yourself a favor, if you go, order from the menu.

Chai, the hostess, greeted us as we came in and seated us promptly for our reservation. My partner is gluten free so there was a lot of excitement for us around being able to eat without worries of cross contamination! We ordered the bread board, mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts as well as the steak special (12 oz steak with fingerling potatoes) alongside the cucumber gimlet and watermelon + coconut mojito to drink. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the focaccia bread was soft in particular. The Brussels sprouts definitely blew our minds and had a rich, savory aioli on them. We were stuffed after all this delicious food but definitely still ended our meal with the peaches and cream crème brûlée which had pieces of peaches inside and was topped with fresh homemade whipped cream. Chai even came and checked in on us during our meal, which I think was so indicative of the wonderful service they provide here. I was so impressed with our experience here and look forward to visiting The Crown again!

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.
