Mikes Ellijay Restaurant - Ellijay (GA)

3 /5 Joshua Stultz: This is gonna get an average three star in the middle review so they do not have a website or any type of way to really know like cutoff times for stuff came here for breakfast. They stopped serving, but the photos that I was able to find online do not indicate a time to cut off for breakfast. I did see that dinner time on their dinner menu. This is a suggestion for the business. This is 2025. We’re almost to 2026. It would be a good thing to utilize free platforms to get online to be able to post things like this for your customers. I will also disclose that I did not eat here. Came here for breakfast not for lunch. If I get to try the food again I will update that part. If the business would like help with doing something online, I would be glad to help them out for free.

5 /5 David Imm: This place is an amazing country style restaurant. Everything we tried was about the best weve ever had. The catfish, the country fried steak, the pineapple casserole, the hash brown casserole, the Mac and cheese. We were flabbergasted on just how good everything is.

5 /5 James Schoeneberg: Finally made it to Mikes Ellijay Restaurant—we shouldnt have waited so long. We dont eat out much, and wherever we go, we are pretty particular about the food and service. Mikes scored high in both those categories. I had the Hamburger Steak with a "smashed potato" and baked apples, and my wife had the Fried Tilapia with green beans and cole slaw. Our waitress, Ashlyn, was very attentive and prompt, refilling our drinks and ensuring we were satisfied with the food and the presentation. Two Busboys kept the tables cleaned and neat. The Tilapia covered 2/3 of the plate and my wife enjoyed the fish and the sides. One of the reasons I ordered the Hamburger Steak was because it is a true test of a kitchens expertise. For the most part, a Hamburger Steak is served either on the greasy side, often to disguise the taste of substandard meat, or on the dry side, usually because the meat is not "conditioned", overcooked or again, because the meat is substandard. The Hamburger Steak at Mikes was cooked perfectly and the meat was full-bodied and very tasty. Eat one of these at Mikes and say goodbye to any kind of fast food burger. As a plus, the baked apples were just right, and the sweetened iced tea was exactly what Southern Iced Tea is all about—just sweet enough to enhance, not overpower, the taste of the tea. Were going back!

3 /5 Hazel Bryan: Food is below average except for breakfast... cant mess it up... other meals are frozen meat. Service ladies are very nice. Atmosphere is good. You can tell that they have regular crowd.

3 /5 V Thorn: Service was good, sweet tea was good but the food was lacking. I had whole catfish, fried squash and green beans. Out of those dishes you wouldnt expect the green beans to be the better thing on the plate...but it was. Was so looking forward to the fried squash. And I never leave food on my plate. But my wife and I both left most of the squash uneaten. Pretty sure it was frozen, pre battered. Mushy and not good. Granddaughter got the chicken fingers which were probably the best choice out of our table of 6.
