The food was delicious and the atmosphere was unique for the area. I had the trout and my wife had the shrimp and grits both were very good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We chose to sit outside on the deck even though it was supposed to rain in an hour thinking we would be finished eating by then . When the rain started to blow in early our waitress and the manager quickly moved us inside without any issue. Will definitely go back next time we are in the area

We were in Ellijay staying at a cabin for the weekend and we stopped in to get dinner at the roof. The server we had ( I wish I had gotten her name) was extremely cool and was awesome! The food was pretty excellent! I had the Gouda Mac and cheese and the only thing I would change is instead of large pieces of onion, I would make them smaller bites so there’s enough to go in all bites and I would actually caramelize them like the menu says instead of just sautéing. They should definitely be a darker color. These small changes would honestly make that one of my favorite dishes I have ever had at a restaurant! No joke! The bologna sliders are fab! The burgers my husband and daughter had they absolutely LOVED! Overall we were super impressed! Lots of servers on the floor for a small restaurant which was strange but we got lots of attention! We will 100% be back!!

My family was visiting me from Florida. We decided to have dinner at The Roof Saturday evening. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the filet mignon special, it was cooked to the temp I asked, had wonderful flavor. My parents had the Red Fish special, and they both said it was absolutely delicious. The vibe at the restaurant was great, people everywhere enjoying themselves. Our server Selena was wonderful, she was friendly and made us all feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a great time out!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here last year. We loved it so much, we came back this year to celebrate. We got the bologna sliders, a large ceasar salad for appetizers. The sliders were shockingly good! The ceasar salad was also excellent. My wife had the apple butter meatloaf, I had the half braised chicken with peach sauce. Both entrees were top notch! Our server, Faith, was wonderful, and, was happy to answer any questions we had. This is definitely a must stop for us anytime we visit Elijay!

We had a good meal at the roof in Elijay. We got caught with a bit of a wait because it was Friday evening and there was a storm blowing over so the outside was closed briefly. Perhaps because of that everything moved pretty swiftly. We were able to order and get our food a little quicker than expected. The food was good and service was fast.

The Apple Butter Meatloaf: tasty. The mashed potatoes and fresh green beans were equally good.

My hubby and I ate here at lunch on a Friday. It was nice to take the elevator up and walk down 3 flights of stairs to burn our calories after a wonderful rack of baby back ribs. We upgraded to the premium side of brocolini and gouda mac and cheese. They were tasty sides. Our starter of shrimp cakes were similar to crab cakes but better to us. The cakes were thin and had the correct crispness and full of flavor.

First time guests at The Roof Ellijay. Beautiful day for a drive and what a view from the roof top restaurant. We ordered the Trout with asparagus, and the Chicken Sandwich with HOT sauce on the side. Service was outstanding and we enjoyed sitting outside to enjoy the amazing views. Parked on the street as soon as I saw an open spot. Turns out The Roof has a few parking spots behind the restaurant down River St. We can’t wait to return to this quaint little corner of Ellijay.

Sweet&Spicy mussels were *delicious.* For my main dish, I ordered the bologna sliders at the waitresses suggestion. It was… okay. I felt kind of silly ordering it when she described it as, “we order the fanciest bologna we can find.” It was also a bit silly that we were charged for the extra bread for our mussels. Still, the mussels were delicious, and the view was beautiful from the roof.
