Back Porch Bistro - Ellijay (GA)

5 /5 Crystal Hammontree: My daughter and I stopped for lunch today after going to the apple houses. There was a man and woman working. They were so friendly. We bith got the Grinder pannini. It was so fresh and delicious. The service was quick and friendly. If you want to stop at a mom and pop restaurant I highly recommend this restaurant. Well come back

5 /5 Betty Hunt: Cute lunch time bistro! Varied menu, AND they have Gluten Free Bread!! Shared the Reuben with a side of delicious Potato Salad (so we could have coffee and dessert down the street!) Corned Beef was the leanest Ive ever had! Service was fast and friendly. Discount for paying cash. Highly recommend this place!

5 /5 christi vila: A cozy place in town with outdoor seating available. Dog friendly. Soups are amazing as well as the chicken sandwiches ! Fresh and homemade sides. Definitely a great stop over for lunch when nearby. Also has some owner hand made jewelry and artwork for sale, all very reasonably priced. Parking available in street.

5 /5 Matt M: Literally the back porch of an antique store. I give this spot an extra star for their vegan options. Vegan wraps Vegan sandwiches Vegan Soups But they have more than just vegan food, there is there are salads, sandwiches, wraps and even some dessert options. This spot gets busy at lunch and there are not enough tables to fit everyone, but give it time and you will find a spot either inside or on the outside (back porch) area. It is a dog friendly foot, so bring your pet with you, everyone else seems to have taken them up on it. Service was so friendly, it was like a family gathering. But you want to know about the food: Potato salad - as good or better than my mother’s version and i loved hers. Vegan Chili - full of potatoes, corn, tomatoes and black beans, this was my FAVORITE dish. Mozzarella Wrap - it sounded good, but was just so-so and was horribly messy. Side salad - fresh, good and the dressing was amazing. Cuban Sandwich - another solid choice that was tasty and filling. Reuben - ooh, surprisingly good. Gyro - another really great dish, my son devoured this one. Really good lunch spot, but it did take some time, both waiting in line and to get our food.

5 /5 Amanda Blackwell: The best sandwich shop in downtown Ellijay. My husband and I have coming here for years and have never had anything that we didnt like. Pete and Tami are wonderful and remember us every time even if it has been a while. We love the atmosphere and "layered tea". Great folks, food and atmosphere. What more could you want. Give them a try. You wont regret it.
