If you're looking for a quaint breakfast place with charm or character, this probably isn't it. But if you're hungry and just want a quick, simple bite, it gets the job done. We drove a bit out of the way because of the high Yelp ratings, and as visitors to the Ellijay area it didn't quite live up to our expectations.

They simply could not have been better if they tried. Five stars if review was on service only! Food was not awesome. My mom's waffle was doughy and a little undercooked in the center. My dad's hash browns didn't have that golden brown crust and texture you expect with diner hash browns. Looking around the restaurant, other tables did, they just missed it for his, they were pale and sad looking. My grilled chicken was obviously out of a Tyson bag, but tasted fine. One thing on the menu that was very peculiar was adding melted cheese to your pie. Like why?? I do not want cheese on my pecan pie, thank you very much. Easy location with plenty of parking! It was hopping and looks like they stay quite busy all the time! If you need a quick breakfast and to fill a hunger, this is the place!

Service was best part, girl at the counter was really nice, made sure I had salt and pepper and utensils in the bag before I even asked about. It's a drive up place and is quaint, I generally like these kind of places as they were common when I lived in Arkansas and went to Oklahoma a lot.

The biscuit is made fresh. The toppings are pretty standard for fast food, but that isn't an issue for us. We've learned to share the tots as one bag is more than either of us wants alone.

The walk up window and drive thru are always busy, but we've always gotten our food quickly.
