An easygoing town meal

A useful choice for a casual meal in Ellijay, especially when your group wants burgers and a relaxed tavern setting after a day out.

Menu & meal planning

Check the current kitchen hours separately from the bar schedule, especially for a late arrival.

Fit it around the tasting day

Make time for a full meal before tasting and leave a comfortable drive between the restaurant and your winery booking. If a particular dish, dietary accommodation or seating area matters, ask the restaurant directly. Menu photographs are examples, not a guarantee of today’s availability.

Your regional route

Keep the main tasting day east of Ellijay. Jasper and Ball Ground work better as another day than as extra stops after both vineyards.
