Dining

Please note, Fannin County is a dry county and therefore Blue Ridge restaurants do not serve alcohol, but in most cases you can take your own for a nominal corkage fee.  At the McCaysville restaurants one can purchase beer and wine.  Beer and Wine can also be purchased in many of the grocery stores in Blue Ridge, but for liquor one has to go to Appalachian Beverage located on Hwy. 515 across from Lowe's in Ellijay (they also have a good selection of wines).

Welcome Hostess is a shopping and delivery service offering items from local stores including groceries and specialty luxury items such as gourmet chocolate, coffee and cigars.  All items are delivered to your door upon your request.  You may choose one of their packages for Breakfast, Lunches or Dinners, or call with your own list.  They will be happy to customize any of their complete meals to suit your preference.  For further details and quotes, please call 706-635-7660, or e-mail: helton@ellijay.com
