East Side Grill - Ellijay

This spot is a couple miles outside of the main strip of downtown Ellijay and would be killing it if it was closer to town. Highly worth a visit if you’re in the mood for burger/tenders/shake type food. Plus they’ve got fried okra. And cinnamon rolls. Good no frills food, made by friendly people and the prices are cheap, so check them out. They close at 2:00 so if you miss out then hit Cartecay Pizza about a mile closer to town, that place is also great and opens at 4:30.

They have the best BBQ sandwiches and I love the crushed ice cream they use in their drinks.

Love The Eastside Grill. Every time we come to Ellijay and the North of Georgia, we get breakfast here. So good and locally.

Excellent stop for a quick, homemade breakfast... Eggs, bacon, gravy, biscuits and more... Very small with only a few tables and paper plate style dining... Always a pleasant staff behind the counter, willing to freshly prepare your breakfast... Fair prices and good portions... See you again soon! Thank you

We just stopped on the way to Ellijay Apple Farms for breakfast. It doesn't look that way, but it's a hidden gem. Food was amazing. We had heavy cookies and smoked sausage biscuits. The staff was super friendly. This is a new must stop on our annual Apple Farm adventure.
