We started our breakfast with a hot Wildflower Mocha and a Mocha Latte. The Mocha Latte was outstanding....rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I wanted to try their pancakes but didn't want a full stack, and our server Robin was wonderful in recommending the Sweet Start. One thing we really appreciated is that all breakfast entrees include coffee or tea, and the prices are already very reasonable. We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that even though we ordered specialty coffees, we could still enjoy complimentary refills of regular coffee. The restaurant has a charming and unique atmosphere, with every table looking a little different from the next. For my meal, I ordered the Sweet Start, which included one pancake, eggs, and bacon. I also appreciated the transparency from the staff. When I asked for an extra serving of their homemade pecan butter, I was informed upfront that there would be an additional charge....a level of honesty that's surprisingly rare these days. My husband ordered the Banana Nut French Toast comes with homemade whipped cream and homemade pecan butter, which also came with bacon. He added a side of eggs as well. Everything was delicious. I'm especially particular about pancakes, and I can honestly say they serve some of the best pancakes I've had. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and what stood out most was how genuinely happy all the staff seemed to be. It created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made our visit even more enjoyable. We would definitely return the next time we're in the area. read more

Right from the start the staff was attentive and greeting us. Due to the popularity of The Sawmill Place, we had a wait but the wait was short. Crafted custom iced coffee was ordered and delivered directly from the barista. We ordered the Hot Honey & Pimento Cheese Fried Chicken Biscuit and the Brisket Hash. Absolutely delicious! The grits were the best. I don't eat grits because it's a texture thing but my husband talked me into it. They were so creamy and flavorful. I think you turned me into someone that will eat them again. The brisket hash was so good and the Certified Angus Beef was absolutely flavorful. Very nice atmosphere, very well maintained and recently vacated tables attended to quickly. The staff was super friendly and definitely a must go to place when in the area. read more

Passing through and stopped in for breakfast. Old fashioned Southern comfort on a plate. Large portions, friendly staff.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Been a dozen times over the years, and the only dissapointment is the crowds. They've become so well known it's often packed. Never had a long wait thiugh, and the folks there are accomodating and wonderful. read more

We stopped by for breakfast after my husband had a colonoscopy- so he was really hungry. We had to wait for just 15 minutes or so - this place is popular and for good reason. Super fast and friendly service and their breakfasts are huge and delicious. I ordered the Nottely Scramble and it was delicious as was the sausage. Keith ordered The Morning Sampler. The grits here are off the chain! Just great high quality down home food! read more

The Sawmill place is jammed up like a jelly roll. Great staff great food locally sourced ingredients. Very affordable as well. Will return if I ever find myself in the area again. read more

This is a great breakfast place! There was a long wait which was the only downside to this place. However we had a large group so they did tell us it would be a little bit. There is a coffee bar and little shop to occupy your time. The porch was nice with chairs, although it was pretty chilly outside. The food was delicious and huge portions. If you like grits, this is the place for them!! They were some of the best grits I have ever tasted. The pancakes are massive and would recommend kids splitting the kids portions. I also appreciated the price for the kids meals. They were so reasonable compared to what most restaurants charge. The staff were very friendly. We enjoyed this place and if we are ever back in the area, will come back. read more

Absolutely LOVE Sawmill! My family and I always make it here when we are at our cabin. The food is always spot on and service is incredible. I got the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit which was delicious! Coffee is always refilled right away for those who love coffee. If you don't like coffee, don't worry they have amazing FRESH orange juice. They also have a cool gift shop next door if you're looking for a local homemade gift for a friend or loved one! Definitely worth the wait! They serve coffee at the gift shop so you can indulge in some shopping and coffee while you wait for a delicious breakfast/lunch. read more

First meal in Blairsville and this one had the highest rating. I was hoping for southern fried chicken. I was disappointed with the menu. So I ordered 2nd best chicken tenders. What I found out was I have never eaten fresh chicken tenders. It was delicious. My two sides were broccoli cheese and collard greens. The collard greens were not as soft but maybe because it looked fresh. My companion ordered brisket pot pie with mash potatoes. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend read more

Been here several times for breakfast and lunch.. highly recommended.. great food and service.

When we first pulled up and the parking lot was full we knew we were in the right place. A busy place is always good. This is 2 places in one; the restaurant on one side and a coffee cafe on the other. The decor was really cute and the staff were very attentive. Everything from the egg & cheese biscuit sandwich to the pancakes and biscuits and gravy were delicious! read more

Abundant deliciousness with hometown service and atmosphere. Glad I ordered one strawberry and cream pancake, as it was huge! Hubby enjoyed Atlanta sausage and biscuit. read more

For the price, it was good for $13. I've had better, and I like to think that I'm quite the critic and know what I'm looking for in a Chicken Fried Steak. Their CFS is good, but I've had better elsewhere. But like I said, for the price.. you can't beat it since most places that we go to in TX are around $16-$18 without coffee. My in laws live just outside of town, and they have been raving about this place for as long as they have been going here every Tuesday with a couple of their friends, o we knew when we drove up to visit, that this would be on our itinerary. There was a bit of a wait, but that's to be expected especially when everyone is in town visiting for the holidays. Service was good and fast, everyone was friendly. read more

Best place to grab a southern breakfast!! Always hot and fresh it's a hidden gem!! Service is wonderful

This is a wonderful place. I don't know if it was really an old sawmill or not but it sure gives you the idea of country kitchen. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and everyone enjoyed it. Make sure you get a glass of sweet tea. it has a little market with some specialty items and the service is incredible. Very very friendly country style. I had the honey glazed fried chicken with two sides, and a biscuit with sweet iced tea, Delicious. my friends had the chicken casserole and the pork sandwich and they both raved about their meals. This place is very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. read more

Food was pretty good. Hubby had Pancakes and they were great. Grits w/cheese added GREAT Biscuits GREAT GRAVY: eh. It was very generic and bland. Not a fan at all and honestly why I say a 4star not 5. Eggs GREAT Coffee. Not bad Bacon and sausage: Tasty! Servers: pretty good! Atmosphere: bit crowded (a great sign) but nice Honestly, I was super disappointed about the gravy. If you know is southerners we have high expectations of gravy and this one completely fell flat. Everything else was really good, but it left me wishing I had the gravy I had in mind when I read the reviews for this place. Would I go back? Yes... but I'd check out all the other local joints first! read more

Good, but did not live up to the hype from others. Gravy was disappointingly bland. Did not order any pancakes or French toast which did look good. Will give them another shot. read more

The cinnamon pecan butter & the homemade whipped cream that is served with the banana bread French toast is 10/10 absolutely to die for! Delishhhhhhh! Everyone was so so nice & all so helpful! We felt very welcome! The price was right, the bacon & fixins were delicious, I would absolutely recommend this place for breakfast! read more

This is one of those surprising places to eat. The staff is over the top when it comes to taking care of their dining guests. The menu is great, as well as the food, as is the pricing--which seems to be stuck in a time past--which is awesome. This place is what the Cracker Barrel use to be, but more so. I eat here every time I visit Blairsville and you should too! read more

Incredible breakfast this morning! Friendly staff. Generous portions. Delicious options! I have Celiac disease and we came to this spot for breakfast bc I noticed they offer gluten free toast. I had a veggie omelet, grits (locally farmed), and toast with jelly. They also have a coffee bar- lattes Excellent spot! read more

It was a chilly rainy day at high noon, so restaurant was pretty crowded. We were seated within 20 minutes. Waitress was very personable and promptly took our drink orders and described/recommended a few menu items. Ordered beef brisket pot pie and brunch biscuits/gravy platter (which is much more unique and unusual and delicious than the name implies.) Corn cakes are a must and the creamed peas made me think of sitting at grandma's table on Sundays . We WILL go back before we leave this area. Oh, and some of the staff and customers joined together to sing me happy birthday with a candle in a fresh muffin! read more

Quaint little place and reasonably priced. We had the Breakfast sampler. The ham and bacon tasted as if it had additional salt. If you like a lot of salt you'll like it, we didn't care for it. The sausage gravy tasted like it had a lot of flour in it. They don't do specialty coffees and only offer basic half and half creamer. It was a nice one time experience. read more

Never disappoints! Pricey but service is on point and little barista bar is really great! I had a ham and cheese egg white omelette and one sweet potato pancakes, So good! read more

A great experience in a small town. Thoroughly impressed from the food, menu, atmosphere, decor and service. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The whole table of 5 enjoyed the lunch. Excellent biscuits, great brisket, lots of choices that are familiar but not always common on a menu. I also was impressed with the fact they go out of their way to source local and small businesses. High quality and responsible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Feels instantly like friendly, clean, country - and you expect something great! There's a crowd waiting for seats so apparently you're not the only one who feels that way! The food was pretty good, not great. The service was the same. Everyone was really friendly, just not very attentive - we tried several times to get our (very new) server to look our way for refills or more napkins. Really surprised how small the 3 chicken fingers were! And the greens were definitely on the barely cooked side. I wish I could say I'll be back, but probably not. read more

We were looking for a good biscuit and pancakes while in the area, and our friends recommended Sawmill. We stopped in for a late breakfast and they were quite busy. We were told there would be a 20 minute wait, but they turned the tables quickly. We had a table in about 15 minutes. Our service was great the whole time we were there. My girlfriend ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, sausage, biscuit, gravy, and a pancake. I wanted a biscuit sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. Our food came out quickly and it looked good. The biscuit sandwich hit the spot. My girlfriend enjoyed her breakfast as well. She did mention the sausage was a bit overcooked. Otherwise, everything was great. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely be back. The food and service were good and the food was very reasonably priced. read more

Hadn't been to the Sawmill in a few years. Had heard that portions and food weren't what they used to be. We went despite that and were not disappointed. The short rib hash was very good and the French toast was okay. Maybe not as good as we remembered but it was still a very nice breakfast. read more

Great place to eat. Love the staff who are fast and efficient. You won't be disappointed.

Had to wait because it was packed in Saturday morning but there was plenty of room inside and outside for waiting. Coffee and bathrooms available while you wait. Food was VERY good, service friendly and efficient. We will absolutely be back. I wish I could get their recipe for biscuits, they are SO good! read more

Saw Mill Place is a wonderful Cracker Barrel type restaurant. Gift shop, outside seating and most importantly, great food and service. Be sure to get here early, or you will definitely be waiting! Food portions are huge, so use caution if you believe that you can eat two sausage and gravy biscuits with an egg, you are kidding yourself! That or you weigh 350 pounds! LOL Don't miss out on this place, it's wonderful and worth the trip and wait. read more

We were visiting Helen, GA and decided to go to some antique spots. Found this place on yelp and could not have found a better breakfast Service was also outstanding. Don't sleep on the breakfast brisket concoction. It is fire! Also, they give you a coupon that never expires if it is your first time. Passed mine on to a local we encountered later that morning read more

The food is eatable, not the kind you crave to have again, not sure if these are the same owners or they just run on popularity. The service and the people there are some of the best, friendly, polite, always wanting to please, but the food not so much. The pancakes are chewy, not tasty at all, who screws up pancakes? If you order scrambled eggs they are hard, chewy not moist and tender, who screws up scrambled eggs?, the hash brown are barely tolerable, everything else is just mehhh. Ambience is noisy but homey, one thing, they are much better than Hole in the wall but that place is horrible so that's not saying much. I came from Arizona, First Watch would kill all of these places if they opened up a real breakfast place, everything there was delicious and the pancakes to die for. This might be controversial but the Waffle House has better food, that's shocking, but true. They definitely need a great breakfast place up here. read more

My favorite breakfast place when I'm in town! Food is always extremely good and love the atmosphere.

We wanted to experience a Farm to Table restaurant in the North Georgia mountains since we have one in South Georgia. This restaurant exceeded our expectations by far! Delicious, beautiful food! We all ordered something different and each one loved the choice we made! The service was excellent and the staff was so friendly! The atmosphere was country-farm comfortable. We will be back! read more

First time here and let me say it won't be the last time... excellent service, excellent food, and everything was very clean!!

Absolutely love this place for breakfast. We try to go every time we are in Blairsville. If there is a wait, which most likely there will be (but is worth it), you can order "fancy" coffee drinks in the little retail area inside to the left. They are delicious! The food and service is great and consistent! :) We sat at a small table for two when we went last, and noticed there was a drawer on one side, under the table. People write notes on the silverware bags and leave them in there for other patrons to read. Super cute! The food is always great and they are large portions. Highly recommend!! read more

Hubby and I stopped here for breakfast while my parents were at the medical center. We also took breakfast home for the others. Beautiful, roomy restaurant and friendly attentive servers. We took a variety home for everyone to share, the banana nut bread French toast was a huge hit. Will definitely return our next trip down. read more
