Blue Creek

We have seen the sign for this place for a while now and finally had min to try it out, OMG this was so amazing, the pulled pork was top 5 best I've ever had paired with their vinegar sauce (better than mustard) and perfectly cook onion rings, the stew was about par still good but I've had better, the burgers are amazing and look handmade, tots were golden brown and the best from any stop in place. There are so many options on the huge menu we are coming back to try everything. 10/10 everyone needs to stop in this place! Staff was very nice and made you feel like you coming home for Sunday lunch.

Stopped into this little spot hoping to get a hearty Southern meal like my Granny used to make—something that sticks to your ribs and warms the soul. The atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect from a small-town country store and eatery: cozy, familiar, and full of friendly folks ready to chat. I ordered the Hamburger Steak Platter with fried okra, a side salad, and fried pickles. And while my Granny did cross my mind when the food arrived, it was more in the sense of wondering if this is what she’d have been forced to eat had she ever ended up in a nursing home. I opted out of grilled onions on my hamburger steak, but I didn’t realize that meant I’d be served a plain, dry burger patty with nothing to dress it up. When I asked about gravy, I was told the only options were A1 or Heinz 57—bless it. The fried okra was the usual pre-frozen variety, hard to mess up but nothing special. Same goes for the fried pickles—except I only got four small wedges, and the batter slid right off with the first bite, leaving me with a sad little mushy pickle. Now, don’t get me wrong—the food wasn’t terrible. If you’re watching your salt intake, keeping an eye on your cholesterol, or just looking for a place to sit and chat about “this generation” over a plate of something bland, this might be just the spot for you. But if you’d rather save yourself $20, just hit the drive-thru and ask for a plain burger patty. You’ll get the same experience for less than half the price.

A "Great" sit-down country meal! Having still the option of healthy choices. Grill chicken was amazing! The menu had a good variety, even child friendly. Scooped ice cream in flavor of your choice was a great way to complete the experience. We loved the displayed options in this country store for browsing. Definitely returning here, it seems many residents local are familiar with their staff's hospitality!

Food was wonderful. Chef salad was fresh and filling. Cheese burger and fries were tasty. All of the other food looked great and tasted great. Would recommend as a stop off for food. Staff was pleasant. The cookies were also awesome. Speaking of that I think I will go have one to the cookies I brought with us! LOL, I have them hidden from the kids.

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Really! Bacon cheeseburger to be exact. The onion rings were perfectly fried, too. My hubby even liked the fries more than most. Great simple place to stop for lunch after checking out Tallulah Gorge. Service was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try the flavored coffee we bought too.

We stopped in for lunch had the best burgers, french fries and onion rings you could ask for. Very affordable and a friendly staff.

Extremely delectable comfort food for a very affordable price!!! Friendly staff. The salads are full of flavor . The burgers awesome ! Highly recommend. We will be back when traveling thru this area !!! 🥰

Excellent burgers, fried okra and sweet potato fries. The tomatoes on the burger were thick and juicy. Everything was very good and affordable.

The food tasted amazing, my sister never eats anything, but this food was so good she ate an entire meal. The service was awesome, everyone was so nice. The place felt so home-y and we found some great preservatives and jams. Would DEFINITELY come again!

I went to Blue Creek for the first time last month with a group of friends. It was on a Friday evening so it was busy. They have an extensive menu. They take your order up front then you pick a table and they bring out your food. My favorites were the fried green tomatoes and the best blue cheese burger that I've ever had. The servers were young and confused some of the food orders but they made good.

Cute little place. Food was great, good prices, fast, friendly service. $6 and change for two huge portions of some of the best homemade ice cream I've ever had ....totally worth the 30 minute drive. My husband is already asking when we can go back.

Best burger in North Georgia....maybe Georgia...just haven't had all of them, just a lot of them!!! We always plan out trip to North Carolina to go through Clarksville at least one way if not both ways. We just love this place. They have had the same crew for a few years that we remember. Don't miss out on the best burger. We normally share a burger and fries but this is an exception...we get our own!!! The fries are even very good. And yes, they are probably frozen out of a bag but they just fry them like most just can't do. We also love to buy their jellies and jams. Top notch. Highly recommend and can't wait to return.

Cute little spot in the middle of nowhere. But there is a reason why the place is busy. Excellent service. Food is fairly affordable and tastes homey. I highly recommend getting their home made ice cream afterwards. My fav is butter pecan and cookies and cream on waffle cones

We saw on Yelp that this Market has good ice cream, so we made a stop after visiting with family. Hubby got Strawberry Ice Cream on a Cake Cone, and I got half Chocolate and Half Butter Pecan in a bowl. This is what you need to know: Even though we live 45 minutes away, we will be returning to eat this ice cream. Yes. It is that good.

The food here is top notch. We've eaten here several times and had several different menu items--never an issue. Small, clean and friendly with polite staff.

Always friendly, good food. Nice for family gatherings! Nice assortment of food and choices.

Friendly service and amazing burgers. Sweet potato fries were perfect. Highly recommend.

We stopped to get gas around lunchtime & saw this cute little blue restaurant. I can be a bit particular about where we stop to eat, and this was a pleasant surprise. Very clean, fresh food, all of the employees were very nice, and helpful. Our food came out in a timely manner, and was very tasty. There is also a market with a lot of homemade jams, sauces, ciders, preserves, etc. I would definitely stop here again.

We moved to the area last year, and every time we have driven by, it seems to be completely packed. There are not many yelpers in the area, so figured I needed to review this gem. We don't eat or enjoy any of your big 3 fast food burgers, or anything like that. We enjoy finding a local joint that specializes in a fresh char grilled burger, and this place did just that! The inside is a super cute restaurant/market/ice cream shop vibe. Doesn't look like much from outside, but it was very well laid out and plenty of space for even larger parties. I ordered a double cheeseburger "all the way", which is THE way to go! My wife and daughter both ordered single cheeseburgers, and we shared a French fry, onion ring, and sweet potato fries. We enjoyed everything we ordered and have no complaints. The staff here went above and beyond and replaced a burger that my dog snatched from my daughters grasps! ‍ We will certainly be returning for more of these TOP NOTCH burgers! *sorry for the lack of pictures, it was too good, trust me!

Love the Blue Burger with sweet potato fry's and fried okra. Very good burgers and excellent service

Great little market with dining options. Burgers and chicken salad were great! We also picked up some local honey and stone gound grits

Plenty of free parking outside this stand alone restaurant/market. They have outdoor seating so we were able to bring our dog with us to eat lunch on the way back from hiking. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. There was a short line to order since we came on Saturday around 12:30. Food came out about 20 minutes later. Cole slaw was fresh and not too sweet. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were hot and yummy. I got a turkey club which had crispy bacon on it. Hubby got a bacon cheeseburger which looked delicious. Will definitely come back!

We are regulars here- at least once a week. I have so many favorites from the turkey club to the bbq chicken plate to a double hamburger!! Everything is fresh and delicious! Be sure to save room for ice cream.

I can't believe I am writing such a negative review on a place that seems to be loved by practically everyone else on the planet. We decided to dine here for lunch based on the rave reviews and I would agree with most if I just came here to pick up an onion and a pack of gum. This is a store that serves food it's not a restaurant, after placing your order at the checker counter you roam around the store to find a place to sit. There are two areas that have tables set up including a back room filled with mostly community tables so grab a seat and wait and wait and wait. We ordered the "special" only available on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays, yeah it's pretty special alright and apparently minced to order. We waited 40 minutes to get this pathetically bland flavorless plastic plate of minced pork and minced chicken - dry doesn't begin to describe this, I will admit the sauces here are tasty but it doesn't do much for the boiled meat we were served. It was painful sitting at a community table filled with strangers watching one small order at a time come out of the kitchen - I don't know what the hell was going back there but they couldn't even deliver the food at the same time for a party of four some at the table were eating while the other half watched - I witnessed parents eating while the kids watched that's how ridiculous it was. I will admit the staff although slow as molasses were very friendly and kept making excuses every time they delivered a few dishes or came out to wipe off a table after the customers carried their throw away plastic china and silverware to an overfilled trash container in the dining area. Maybe the remoteness of this place has conditioned the locals because of the limited dining options since there are no brand restaurants or fast food joints for miles. This was one of the things that grabbed my curiosity and got me here only to be disappointed after such a long wait - if it's any consolation the beans were okay...

Stopped by for lunch on the way home to Atlanta from visiting the mountains. Glad we stopped by. Very clean and organized inside. Service was friendly in taking our orders. Plenty of seating inside. But, it took forever to get our food. Prices are very reasonable and food was not bad. Overall, worth a visit if you're not in too much of a hurry.

My grandparents (who are in their 70s) have raved about this place for years, and I always assumed it was some little hole-in-the-wall that caters to old people. It's actually...weirdly trendy in a way that's hard for me to describe. It has New York bodega vibes, as if one got South-ified. The place has heart and feels like a real community gathering place, with relentlessly happy employees who are ALWAYS smiling and patient. There are aisles of name-brand grocery products as well as fresh, Blue Creek-branded items, a small produce selection, a large selection of meats, and then the restaurant itself. I've ordered the bacon cheeseburger both times I've gone, and it's amazing. The bacon is HUGE and thick. I really enjoyed the jalapeño poppers, and the baked potato salad (it has bacon in it too) is delicious. Prices are not bad for the high quality of the food. The "waffle cones" for the delicious homemade ice cream are really just extra large sugar cones, but that's really my only gripe. I'm looking forward to going again soon on a weekend to try the barbecue.

Great food! Staff is friendly! We love their burgers and bbq! The store is a plus! Fresh milk & other local items offered

Horrible service. I drove 14 minutes out of my way to shop with blue creek to be treated like I don't exist. I stood at the counter with my items for 6 minutes had 4 of the females in there to look at me. One walked to the cash register and picked up the phone and started taking orders. I was at the register before the phone rang. Then the best part was while the one was taking an order another female came to the register beside me and looked at the man behind me and started taking his order. It was complete disrespect. I won't ever spend a dime not recommending anyone to ever go there!!!!

Blue Creek is a better community-based restaurant with a mall market. The mall marker had a variety of veggies, fruits, and other food items. The service was good, and it was busy. They have a variety of sandwiches and hamburgers, and if you order the plate, it comes with two sides (French fries, beans, house chips, onion rings, other). The drink cups are large. If you get water, you will get a medium-size cup. I order the BBQ sandwich and a hamburger. The BBQ sauce was not sweet, it was more watery with a vinegar flavor -- not my favorite. I like sweeter and spicy BBQ sauces.

Awesome place! Great great food all freshly cooked so yummy! I would recommend anyone to stop by, not only do they have food they have jellies, grocery all the above! Two years later we had to stop by here again and we loved it once again! Super fast service, friendly staff and great food! If you have not stopped by here you will not be disappointed

While in Clarksville, GA we went to lunch with some friends and the food was good. Chicken was a little dry but after soaking it with Bar B Q Sauce it was good. Portions were a bit small but no sweat I rate again in 4 - 5 hours!

Best in northern Georgia for food. Great service, very friendly. Local farm fresh ingredients. Would recommend and go to again.

Delicious food served fresh. Great service by friendly workers. Neat place to eat with farm fresh market inside. Don't miss this place.

This was a cute little diner and shop. We've made numerous trips to the Sautee Nacoochee, Clayton, Clarkesville area and the food offerings aren't anything to write home about. If this was in Charleston, I'd give it a lower rating, but alas we are in the middle of nowhere northeastern GA, so it gets 4. This diner was extremely clean and appears to be fairly new. It's across from a gas station and if you don't know what you're looking for, you may miss it. They have a limited menu, but make things like cheeseburgers, chicken strips, chicken salad sandwiches etc. They had a ton of sides to choose from. We both got cheeseburgers for $3.99 each. They are said to be made from local fresh ground meat. They weren't the best thing I've ever had, but they certainly hit the spot for $3.99. I have no clue how much the sides are. We had fried pickles (came as 3 or 4 wedges) that came with a good dip and fries. We also asked for drinks and got massive 44oz cups so make sure you indicate what size you want. It all came to $16.99 so I'm guessing the sides are as expensive as the burgers. They offer both coke and Pepsi products. Your place your order at the counter and seat yourself. They also have an area to pick up napkins and other condiments. The sweet tea was very sweet. The young kids running the cash registers were very nice and came around cleaning up. We saw a sign that they serve fresh fried apple pies. They had a few desserts up by the cash register. There's also an area to buy local jams, sauces, etc.

The burgers were pretty good. Chicken salad is exceptional...Little portions of fries compared to other places. Fried okra is really good. Pimento cheese has a little heat but is good. Place is really good but just small portions on sides . The staff are very kind and helpful .

Stopped here for lunch and had burgers. The burgers were great - tasted like the ones we make at home. The onion rings were crisp and delicious. We will definitely eat here again and try other things from the menu.

Great spot! Swing in if you need an all inclusive convenient store and or restaurant. I was very surprised at the quality of food and service that we received. There isn't much out here but you will definitely want to swing in and check out this hidden gem.

Interesting place. They sell produce, jams, jellies and ice cream. They also are pretty much a standard hamburger joint too. At the end of the week they offer bbq. I had a bacon cheese burger and tater tots... it was fresh and awesome. I will go back, this place is legit.

I dare you to find a potato salad better than their loaded baked potato salad. The best, most delightfully delicious treat! My husband says the fried okra is fantastic. Too bad it's not gluten-free. :( Okay, now I'm really hungry for their potato salad. My husband doesn't know it yet but he will be dispatched shortly to get me some. ;)

Small grocery store and grill combines with fresh fruits and veggies. Bbq, burgers, sandwiches. Small and large tables to accommodate different size parties. Our food was really good.

The owners of Blue Creek are super nice people.. I like that you can order your food and it is hot and fresh when you receive it not like these buffet places where your food sits under those lights for who knows how long. The 1/2 chicken is always super moist and delicious. Okra is always cooked just right. They also have a little market inside with fresh veggies, eggs, meat, cheese etc if you need to get a few staples while there.. Great food, great customer service you can't go wrong.

Love this spot, great burgers snd even better sweets. Very efficient on call ahead orders. Highly recommend!

Disappointed in this place. Quality has gone down. We have always loved this jewel. Sad.

A great burger with local beef freshly ground meat, good fried pickles The burger melts in your mouth Also have a nice country store with REAL MILK! A great place after a hike at the gotge

We get take out from Blue Crk several times each week. Bacon cheeseBurgers are very good & we love the pulled bbq pork - only wish they served it daily- not just wknds! Turkey Sandwich /Hot dogs & Hamb stk plates r always pretty good too. If I had one suggestion it would be to add more burger options-since they r SO GOOD! LIKE A mushroom/Swiss/BBQ or Blue cheese burger option

Good was good..not my first time or my last time.. hamburger was only $3.99.. beef was really fresh, and sweet potato fries was fired bit to much.. but hey like to try something different.. had there coconut pecan cookies today and oh wow will come back for sure..

Can't say how disappointed I was. I have driven by for the last 2 years and have always wanted to try it based on the reviews. I had the double burger, it was overcooked, dry and tasteless. My best friend had the hamburger steak and beans. His was basically a dry hamburger with barely warmed diced onions, no gravy. The beans tasted straight from the can. Locals may love it but I won't be back!

Fun little stop beyond the regular fast food places. Nothing spectacular, but nice to have so much to choose from. There's also produce and more you can buy if you're headed for a weekend getaway.

Eat here, eat here, eat here!!! OMG oasis in a sea of nothingness. The food was delicious. I had a turkey club that was spot on in taste and flavor. My daughter says she had the best chicken salad sandwich she's ever eaten and the bread was toasted perfectly. My wife had a slaw dog and was impressed. The prices were great, the bathroom was clean and the staff is very polite. Hands down, great place to stop and eat or to just stretch and grab a snack.

Best homemade ice cream, LIKE EVER. She said $1.75, I thought the homemade cone was $1.75 extra, nope. $1.75 for a HUGE heaping of homemade ice cream, in a homemade cone. I was sad that they sold out of the fried apple pies that day, but maybe when I'm back in town again, I'll be able to snag one!

Just happened on this place and thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend it. Turkey club was delicious and the ice cream, yum!

Great food! It just a farmers market. You an stop in for lunch. Sandwiches, soup, salads, and snacks!

Got some pecan cinnamon bread that tasted great. Homemade cookies; tried the chocolate and red velvet. Never had a red velvet cookie but it was also good. Small produce area. Friendly service. Would definitely stop by again if in the area. The pecan Ice cream was yummy!

Awesome place to grab food and some things on the road, plus perfect customer service.

We ordered the Spicy pimento cheeseburgers with homemade chips and I had The Brunswick stew. The burger is outstanding!! Best I have had in a while. We loved the homemade chips. For me, the Brunswick stew was not as hearty as I like but had a great flavor. We will definitely stop in again. Staff was friendly and the food is cooked to order.

I give this place A ++ they are wonderful folks great food worth it if any the wait! They are at the foothills of the Blueridge mountains it is a must!

Great service and food. Hamburger was hot and fresh with each bite. FF was fresh , hot and salty. I would go back again.
