The restaurant in my opinion, is too expensive for a family on vacation. If the buffet prices were lower, I would eat there more often. For a Georgia State Park, Georgia should either make the restaurant more affordable, or sell the lodge to a high end resort, where you expect high prices. Their are no other places to eat at the lodge. You can either eat at the lodge or drive 10 miles to another restaurant. Given the cost of the restaurant, I am not sure that I would stay at the lodge, even though the views are fantastic.

This was a true treasure of a find in the quaint downtown Ellijay. My friends and I wanted to stop…read morefor a coffee and the trip completely changed when we stopped here, in such a good way. This used to be called the Ellijay CoffeeHouse House, but is now Mountain Town Coffee at Hemlock Bazaar (hopefully Yelp will accept my edits), and it has a great vibe. There's a back entrance and courtyard which we came through. The decoration is wacky- I don't know how else to describe it. It's old school and nostalgic but strange. On the other side of the wall there's an entire book store that is part of the business. It had one of the most impressive collections I've seen in a bookstore in awhile. It wasn't huge but it had a great variety of genres, and a lot of intriguing titles I hadn't heard of but sought to remember for later. The man working the register was a charm- he told us how Ellijay has their own tv production (which they were playing on an old school tv), a special Bigfoot podcast and more. Lastly, the coffee was, of course, delightful. I had a latte with a little bit of spice in it that was perfect to warm a person up in the cool early spring air when we were there. Had we known this would be such a cool stop I think we would have bargained even more time to just hang and enjoy the atmosphere. I think it could be a good place to sit and do work or read and there's lots of spaces to sit so it's not too loud.

The coffee... even without real cream, it was delicious. The corned beef hash was unique in that it was cooked with small chunks of onion a top a bed of breakfast potatoes. It was really tasty and not too salty. My eggs were extra large and cooked to my liking. My husband liked the cheesesteak with amazing wedge cut potatoes. He would get it again. My teenager got the pork chop and eggs. She doesn't like pork and therefore doesn't eat it so I'm not even going to try to write anything about it other than it looked thin but good. The service was great- she brought refills when needed and checked on us frequently. We'll come back to because I really want to try the Vietnamese coffee and there are definitely other intriguing menu items. Our only complaint is the parking situation has gotten worse in downtown Ellijay so if the weather is at questionable, we may not make the long trip from Pickens County.

After having coffee all around this place, I can confidently say that Mountain Mama's Coffee is doing it the right way. As a former roaster, I can appreciate the small things like how they worked the bar during a rush, the customer service of the staff, and attention to detail by the baristas to ensure every shot was pulled, milk steamed perfectly, and providing quality coffee. This hands down is the best coffee shop in this area. I had a cup of drip coffee which was a blend of Peru and Brazilian coffee beans. It was nice to finally be able to enjoy a black cup of coffee on this trip. I also had a cheese danish and a Morning bun which were both tasty and satisfying. The environment was very cool! Loved the decor and it was a nice size space that used every corner they could without it compromising the aesthetic. Sad I didn't get to Mountain Mama's earlier on this trip but I know from here on out it will be the only coffee shop I come to.

The table I was given had just been cleaned and covered with standing water (see my photo of the sheen). Thereafter, the pacing of the meal was much faster. I ordered the shrimp and grits and added a single blueberry pancake on the side. The shrimp and grits had a great proportion of delicious roux filled with shrimp (small but plentiful) and andouille sausage with that perfect signature flavor. It was topped with a poached egg and served with a perfectly flaky biscuit. The pancake they delivered was equally tasty, although it looked rough - broken surface and irregularly shaped and much browner on the bottom than the top, but it was nice. There was plenty of jam on the table for the biscuit. Service was okay, and I had to get a straw from a nearby supply table and getting refills and the payment processed was a tad slow.

As a Latina woman, I was deeply uncomfortable with what I saw and experienced here. I expected to see Trump merchandise given the area, but what truly alarmed me were the "White Privilege Cards" being sold. That sent a very unwelcoming and unsafe message. On top of that, a staff member watched my partner and me closely throughout the store, and diners gave us cold, judgmental stares. I still ordered a hamburger, but the food was nothing special--certainly not worth the uncomfortable experience. Honestly, you're better off cooking at home. The only thing this place seems to offer is a space that caters to a privileged few. Very disappointing, especially compared to the glowing reviews I had read beforehand.
