Restaurants in the North Georgia Mountains

Eating traditional southern Appalachian foods is part of the fun when you visit the Blue Ridge area. The favorite, of course, is local mountain trout -- fried, broiled, pecan-crusted, smoked -- pick your variety. There is apple everything - apple bread, apple butter, fried apple pies, apple cider, you need to taste them all! Of course, there's Georgia ice cream -- i.e. grits -- for breakfast, along with hot cat-head biscuits with honey or sorghum syrup. Barbeque ribs, country ham, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, watermelon -- yum, yum!

You'll find fine dining on the banks of the Toccoa River or in downtown Blue Ridge or McCaysville. There are lots of choices for a big southern meal, or "meat and three." Just for fun there's a 50's style malt shop, Victorian tea room, a river shack, ice cream shoppe and several deli's to choose from. Of course, there's wonderful Italian food and pizza, plus several excellent Chinese and Mexican restaurants for variety. Oh -- and lots of fast food for the kids.

Here is a list of local eateries--it's by no means complete, but more than enough to whet your appetite!!
