    Outdoor area
    Brad H.

    BLUF: I'd like to give it 5 stars, but it wasn't quite perfect. Cute ambiance inside. They play music with a real turntable and vinyl. Bar looks very cozy and has a GREAT selection of bourbon. I wasn't drinking today, so I don't know what those prices are. There is an outdoor area that was not in use today but look very nice. Food was excellent and fairly priced. Everything we had was greatly enjoyed. Service was relatively quick, but here was the slight downfall. When our desert was brought to the table, our utensils had been cleared and none were brought. We asked for spoons, which did not show up until we asked a second time. Excepting this relatively minor issue, everything was exceptional. Will return when in the area.

    It's found at this intersection: just to the left of this viewpoint

    They've changed location and it can be hard to find. They are now at the intersection of Main St (Old US 41) & Public Sq. At that corner is little white church, and at the end of the church's parking lot is a house obscured by trees and shrubs, and that is the home of this restaurant. Upon entry I was greeted and seated promptly. My friendly server was attentive throughout my visit and I had no trouble getting refills. As a starter I had the pretzel bites. Although they advertised beer cheese I didn't find the flavor any different than an ordinary cheddar dip. The pretzels were nice but the plate had a strange oil or water sheen which I think was sprayed to make the salt stick to the pretzels. Despite the strangeness, the flavors and textures were good. For my entree I had the seasonal special with the long name of "Hot & Dirty Pimp'n Chicken Sandwich." It was a plump fried chicken breast, with a generous helping of house made pimento cheese and topped with bacon, sweet chili sauce and jalapenos. I knew those ingredients meant it'd be a bit messy, but the bun soaked up all that moisture and it quickly began to disintegrate. The flavor and ingredients were good, although the coating sloughed off the chicken. My side was the crinkle fries and they were nicely seasoned.

    Really good food and great service. We went on a Wednesday and our waitress said it was kids eat free day. They have a bouncing blow up thing for kids to play on and a great place to eat outside as well as inside. Very family friendly. This was our first time and we will be back.

    Stopped by a new place in Adairsville . The service was fast and friendly (great job Sydney!). Ambiance was low key and not too loud a far cry from city places. The food was good especially the french dip although the fries were salted too much so have to dock a star but all in all we enjoyed our lunch and we recommend it for the many different items offered on the menu.

    Wrap that quickly fell apart.

    So, haven't updated this in awhile but this place has become our go to for business lunch. My boss and I hit it at least once a week. I will grab a salmon sandwich with onion rings every now and then, but most of the time I am grabbing an off menu salad and dressing. They just bring it to me but I believe it is called the green goddess with bee sting dressing. Top that with a blackened piece of salmon and it is just perfect. The owners (a lovely young couple) have become very engaged and will check on us and everyone else in the place pretty regularly. The rest of the staff is pretty locked on. They have some great whiskies to include my favorite (Michter's) but I am always on the clock. I don't live in the area so I haven't tried for dinner but love it for lunch. Give this place a try.

    Front of the restaurant.

    Wow! What a great find! Our server was super friendly and helpful. She recommended the fried pecans pie to my husband and he loved it. I had the bourbon bacon glazed Brussel sprouts, heaven! It's a little hard to find so I added a picture of the front. The picture we had on Yelp must have been their previous location. The dining room is bright, airy and features an eclectic collection of tables and chairs. The outdoor dining area was equally ascharming. We enjoyed our visit so much we may plan to stop on our way back to Florida.

    After church on Sunday six of us came by to try this Mom and Pop restaurant. If you read any of my…read morereviews you know I like to go to locally owned restaurants where the owner is there and has a skin in the game. So's no different here. There's a couple that owns it or their heart and soul into this restaurant. Most of us opted for the Sunday lunch, chicken and waffles. The tenders were hand breaded very tasty. Good crunch. I really enjoyed the tenders. The hot honey sauce I had on the side and it was excellent. I also got some regular syrup for my waffle which was very good. The six of us four of us got the chicken waffles. Also the french fries were very good. So if you're coming visiting the area, stop by .? Come out and support these people. We will.

I sat inside where there was table, bar, and highboy seating. I ordered the Smoked & Fried Wings buffalo, with upcharge for flats/drums and an extra sauce (one Ranch and one Bleu Cheese). And the Shorty Johnson, which is a pair of deep fried back-wrapped beef dogs with a side of fries. The wings were scrawny without much meat. But the flavors were great and the smokiness came through. And the buffalo seasoning was nice and the flats were tender. The Blue cheese dipping sauce was chunky and had a good flavor. The Ranch dipping sauce was boring and did not have the punchy flavor of a hand made dressing. The carrot and celery were adequate. The hot dog was properly cooked and drained and the bacon wrapping had a good texture. But there was no bacon flavor, although the flavor of the dog itself was good. The bun was dry and flavorless. The side of fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned and a good portion. Service was barely adequate. They delivered the wings but did not provide any napkins and I had to wait for them to pass by and get their attention to request them. My drink refill was also a bit slow in coming.

We loved being able to sit on the comfortable leather couches, enjoy talented live musicians, and have great cocktails in a true lounge atmosphere. The servers have always been fantastic and continue to do an excellent job. Unfortunately, during our recent visits, Elevate seems to have lost much of the upscale lounge feel that originally made it special. What once felt like a refined escape from the typical bar scene now feels much more like a casual bar environment. Guests were dressed in flip-flops and swimwear, and during our last visit a group brought in takeout food with a very strong odor and set up a card game near the front while the musician was performing. The venue is spacious enough that these activities could have taken place elsewhere without disrupting those there to enjoy the music. We eventually moved tables just to regain a view of the performer. Additionally, due to the crowd volume, the servers -- despite their best efforts -- were unable to keep up with drink service, and we ultimately decided to skip our final round and leave. We truly miss the sophisticated lounge atmosphere Elevate once offered and hope it can return to being a place where guests can enjoy quality music, cocktails, and conversation in a more refined setting.
