Told it would be a 30 minute wait and it was less than a 5 minute wait. Young girls at the host counter seemed to be discouraged about working talking vulgarly dropping the "F" bomb as we waited. Floor was super dirty with a bucket and mop leaning by the bar. Bathroom floor was cleaner than dining area. The server missed some requests in the order but was nice and corrected it. A school cafeteria chaotic feel, saw a signed paid bill left on the floor in outside dining area. Overall missing the attention to detail. Sad because the soup and sandwich were not bad but nothing to brag about either. read more

Great sandwich and soup shop! Don't get the locations confused though! My husband and I had looked at the menu prior to dining and were a little disappointed when we got to the blue ridge location and there was no pulled pork sandwich and no grilled chicken pesto sandwich. They made up for it though! Both of our sandwiches were delicious and the soup of the day was chicken and wild rice. I got a cup to go with my sandwich and I could have taken a whole gallon with me, best soup I have had in a while! read more

Yum yum. Great friendly service. Fresh ingredients prepared perfectly. Soup & salad heaven read more

Went here with my family on a trip to north GA. Quite bustling. After waiting a while for a group of older people to move (not restaurants fault) we were seated. Service was quick. Tomato basil soup was delicious. Grilled cheese wasn't the best, but could've been worse. Sister enjoyed her grilled cheese more, so possibly my choice of bread was the downfall. Another member of the party really enjoyed a burger. read more

Good place for lunch. Service was friendly and prompt. Sandwiches and soups were good. I would recommend for something fairly quick and light when in Blue Ridge! read more

The food is good, but their seating policies are ridiculous. Came in with my family of 7 and they refused to let us sit together, "because of Covid." Only parties of 6 can sit together, even if we are the same family. They have plenty of room, and even had a table that seats 7. read more

Went back to this restaurant for the 2nd time this week and loved it again! Our waitress Tatum was so friendly and a wonderful waitress! We never ran out of anything and she was bubbly and went out of her way to assist. The food, cheddar broccoli soup, chicken and wild rice soup, Spinach salad was phenomenal! Highly recommend this place. read more

Great place for sandwiches, soups and salads! Will definitely come back and try the spinach salad!

This place was so yummy! The soup and sandwiches we got were all delicious! The service was great also. It took a little while to get our food but it was worth the wait. A must visit in Ellijay. read more

Love the soups and salads here! A great lunch spot. The roast beef is a great sandwich too.

I've been going to Cantaberrys for years now, and I have to say, it can be hit or miss. There is a reason this place is always so crowded, good food, and great desserts. I usually order the chicken wildrice soup with a half turkey club on white bread. It's a creamy and tasty soup, especially with their crackers. The sandwiches are stacked high and toasted to perfection. However, if they're busy, there's a chance the soup will be a little watered down. Another time, I tried for a regular turkey sandwich that they toasted and added cheese that I didn't want. Another time, my fiancé had a cup of disappointing tomato soup. The cakes they offer for dessert are from the Alpine Bakery, and worth a hundred bites! All in all, they put a lot of effort into this town, so stop by! read more

Stopped by on a sunny Sunday afternoon after a short hike on the AP (Woody Gap) and riding through the mountains. Hungry for a simple soup and sandwich place and Cantaberry delivered! I had the tomato basil soup and chicken salad combo and they were excellent. The soup was especially good-sorted regretted that I didn't get a bowl! Tim's pimento cheese on sourdough was "above average" and Blake's Cantaberry club was very good. Will certainly come back again! read more

This was a random choice for lunch but boy, was it a great one! Tatum, our waitress, was absolutely outstanding. So friendly and welcoming. Tons of personality. The restaurant accommodated our party of nine. Everyone in our party raved about their food. The chicken wild rice soup was superb- steaming hot. The reuben and pastrami sandwich were high quality, and the turkey salad was very satisfying. I hope Tatum gets a raise because she deserves it for making our experience one of the best ever. read more

This was a very good sandwich and soup place and we loved the chicken wild Rice soup! Definitely a very good signature dish for this place!

Our food was delicious! Truly. I had a reuben and the hubs had a burger and the kids had kid food. It was all SO GOOD! A bit of a wait to get our drink order... then to get someone to come TAKE our order... I didn't really know what was up. My son ordered his cheeseburger with only ketchup, mustard and mayo... and it came without cheese?! Anyway - it really was delicious. Aside from the service, it's a win. read more

Excellent food and will be back. My only critique was my server seemed occupied with other things (for example, was not available for drink refills). read more

We left because upon entering the place, three employees stood there chatting while we waited. Finally one of them yelled over her shoulder that we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose to take a seat outside, and when no one offered to serve us we "chose" to sit in another establishment. read more

Decided to come eat at this little deli for breakfast before departing the sleepy tourist town of Blue Ridge. Food was nice, not super above average, but pleasant. Atmosphere was also pleasant, nice lighting. But the reason I'm writing this review is just to rave about the amazing customer service. My waitress (unfortunately, I never caught her name) was attentive, enthusiastic, and happy. She affectionatelly referred to my party as 'darling,' as she regularly checked in on us. The breakfast here might have been the highlight of my day, if nothing else, for the radiant lady who waited on us. Would recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly. read more

Chicken and wild rice soup was out this world! The cream of mushroom base and wild grain rice was a perfect combination. Honey turkey club was also amazing. Great place to get a soup and a sandwich. Prices are reasonable and wait staff was kind. 10 out of 10. Would eat here again. read more

Great place to stop on the way to the casino. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back for the reubrn and spinach pecan apple salad!!! read more

Great food and a great value. I had the roast beef and pepper jack sandwich - the mushroom Brie soup is not to be passed up. Friendly fast service - will definitely be back next trip out read more

We came here for lunch while walking around Downtown Blue Ridge. They were quite busy. I had the Apple spinach salad and pastrami sandwich. It was delicious. The tomato soup was very good as well. Friendly service and moderate prices. read more

Great soups, sandwiches and salads plus good beers and wine. This is a place I like to go to for lunch. Gotta look for it below street level though, can be a little tricky to spot. read more

WOW is Cantaberry awesome, they really know how to run a business! Their restaurant is decorated so nice and the food is to die for! We have never had a bad experience and we go there frequently. read more

Didn't get a chance to eat here because the service was so terrible. There were three tables open, but covered with dirty dishes. My daughter, wife and I stood by the "Please wait to be seated" sign for 15 minutes where we were told to wait by a waitress. No one said another word to us. The bus boy came out and took one plate at a time back to the kitchen. Food might be good, but if they never seat you how would you know? I'll pass on the supposed good food if they can't be bothered to find a seat. read more

What a great little restaurant! Our party of 8 had 20 minutes before we had to leave for our rafting time. They were very accommodating, drinks in to go cups, to go boxes quickly along with check. We had turkey bacon avocado wrap, grill cheese, cranberry walnut salad, Gouda bisque, chicken salad sandwich, chicken wild rice soup, and turkey bacon avocado sandwich. The soups were great and sandwiches we very tasty. We will be back with more time next time we are in the area. read more

Chicken rice soup was great. I had the turkey club sandwich and it was ok, nothing special. My mother had the tomato basil soup and it is very good. I think they're known for their soups. Service was fast and friendly. read more

We got a bunch of items: the pimento cheese isn't blended, but shredded. My husband liked it okay. The chicken salad wasn't my favorite because it wasn't grounded up, but chunky pieces of chicken with whole grapes. I prefer it to be more like a paste. The brie & mushrooms soup was amazing but very rich! The chicken and rice soup was hearty and flavorful! The BLT was also a good choice. I would come again, but I think they need to work on their "salad" recipes. read more

Picked apples at Mercier Orchards and drove the short distance to downtown Blue Ridge for lunch. Figured out that everybody loves the Famous Chicken Salad because it's sweet. It is good, if you're into that. I'm not but it'd been a while since I had chicken salad and I wasn't disappointed. Also added a cup of the Tomato Basil soup and I'm so glad I did. It made my lunch. Overshadowed the sandwich by far. There's a complexity to the flavor that I couldn't quite name. Enjoyed a glass of Bliss Chardonnay with it. The sandwiches on the kids menu have an adult sized portion of meat, which was good news for my 10 year old son. Overall the menu isn't anything special but it's executed well and the service was decent. Prices are slightly higher than the menu warrants but to be expected for the tourist / tour bus crowd context. read more

This is a great spot for lunch in Blue Ridge. The soups were all excellent (tomato basil, mushroom and brie, and chicken wild rice). Service was great despite a large party of 9 seated right before us. Lacey was very friendly and definitely made us feel at home. I had the veggie wrap and I enjoyed it - it came with a sweet sauce mixed into the combination of lettuce, olives and broccoli which created a delicious flavor. Sometimes veggie wraps can be dry and tasteless but this was really tasty and something I'd definitely order again. Others at my table all raved about their sandwiches as well. Overall fantastic place and I'll certainly be coming here again. read more

Cantaberry - New American Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

Oh. My. Goodness! This place was awesome! We wanted something light as we primarily eat in our cabin. They have sandwiches that will knock your socks off! I had the Ruben, wife the chicken salad on croissant and kids had grilled cheese and turkey. Service was fantastic. Nancy was ours and she was great! The portions are large and they stay busy so plan ahead if you get caught in the rush. Prices are reasonable for this area (keep in mind most are high so they charge higher than most sandwich shops but they are worth it). This will be a place we visit every time we are in the area. read more

*FOOD- GREAT FOOD *SERVICE- AWEFUL Waited 23 minutes on a waitress to take our order. Twice she said as she walked by "I'll be with you in a minute". When she did take our order she would not look at us and kept looking behind her. When we did get our order it was wrong. She continued to ignore us and kept on SPEED walking past. We finally just ate the sandwiches we did NOT order...we had to Go to the front desk and ASK for the check. We left no tip. ON OUR WAY OUT the door, the waitress comes us and asked " was your service ok today?" I said "No it could have been better" she rolled her eyes and walked away. In their defense it was lunch rush. * CARRY OUT ORDER- SERVICE WAS BAD. They answered and asked me to please hold one minute. I can her chit chat on the other end. seven minutes later they hung up on me. I call back three times and get a busy signal. We are local residents and have been eating at Canterberry in Blue Ridge since it opened. The food has always been great. The service has been very poor over the past three months. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat downtown. The food is always good and the service is predictable. (They are not the fastest) Overall a great place to grab lunch for sure! read more

Excellent food nice portion size as well.. they are busy which is good but the staff is slow and almost always messes up my order.

Cantaberry - Casual but comfy atmosphere - New American Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

I have been to Cantaberry in Blue Ridge a million times. I have always had great service and the food is always delicious. I went today with my sister-in-laws and was blown away at the rudeness of a particular waitress. (Kristina) When we arrived we were told to get out because the place was at capacity. I told her I understood and asked to put our names in. We were told there would be a 30 minute wait, which was fine. I asked if we could look around the shops and the rude waitress said "I don't care what you do!" When our table was ready, we went in and had the same waitress as our server. When she came to our table to get our drink orders I told her we were ready to order. She ignored my comment. When it came my time to order my drink I said I would have water and we were ready to order. Kristina stated "I heard you the first time and I will get it after I get your drinks and have time." It should be noted that Kristina was only waiting on one other table. I have never been so mad in a restaurant. I was able to keep my tongue, but did request a manager after our food was delivered. I expressed my concerns, paid my bill, and left. I hope and pray the owner reads this review and deals with this employee. I am giving three stars because the food was great, but Kristina was a rude individual, definitely not a lady. read more

I have a home here and have been coming to cantaberry since it open. Today I was shocked to find a 3.5% card service fee for running a credit card. Card vendors usually charge 1 to 1.5% and almost all businesses build that into their cost of doing business. In addition to this the tip percentage recommendations amounts calculated including this fee. So you suggest a customer pay a tip on your service charge. This is stupid and insulting to your customers. Your manager said it was on the ticket. Gee I forgot to review for the ridiculous. Post a big sign out front that says cheap greedy establishment is going to take advantage of their customers so beware. No cash, no problem, go somewhere more customer friendly. read more
