“ Great southern cooking sometimes hard to find for a good price in the area.staff was friendly and attentive To bad they were out of chicken and dumplings ”
“ I had lunch at White Columns Restaurant for the first time after living in Ellijay for 8 years. How have I NOT been here before now?! The Vegetable Soup, made in-house everyday, is hearty & delicious. It's also a plus you can choose with or without ground beef. $4.50 gets a bowl & choice of bread. Good cornbread!! The meat and vegetable offerings have something for everyone but there many options available from the menu. I love that the desserts can be chosen as a vegetable preference. The prices are very reasonable and the service was great. The dining area & bathrooms were clean. I Love the hometown feel and atmosphere. My only disappointment was hearing that the Mac & Cheese is Kraft Deluxe and not homemade. ”
“ Not a fancy place, but a favorite for locals -- and for good reason -- a very wide selection of sides -- all home made with southern style, and very good. ”
“ Boneless pork chops were very good as was hamburger steak cooked with onions, French toast is very good at a great price, cheeseburger is always excellent, service is top notch, all at great prices. ”
“ Chicken to die for. Meat and 2 sides for $8. Great place, clean, old time southern restaurant ”
“ We have driven from LaFayette, Ga just to have a meal at White Columns. The food is good southern cooking at a reasonable price. We have never been disappointed in the food. I love the fried chicken and all the desserts. ”
“ We did a River float on the Cartecay River then looked for a place for country cooking for lunch. This was recommended by a gal at the gas station across the way we weren't disappointed! My friend got the 4 veg plate and I got the meat and 4 plate. It changes daily but if you love deviled eggs, be sure to get them as one of your veggies! Just like grandma's! The pulled BBQ pork was great too! Kids of food for the money. Service was great! ”
“ My husband and I wanted some fried chicken so I looked up "fried chicken" on Yelp and this restaurant came up. We were in the same shopping mall already, so we thought, "why not?" I must admIt, it looked abandoned as we first pulled up, the entrance is actually off to the side. It's quite large on the inside and just about every booth was filled. I always think this is a good sign if the locals always come to a restaurant, and indeed, the waitress called every patron by name. My husband had fried chicken and I tried the fried flounder. This was home cooking at its best! We both had soft drinks, two vegetable servings and the main part of our meal. Our bill for a delicious and filling meal with a 20% tip was under $25.00. It's a family owned business who takes great pride in customer satisfaction. Open for breakfast and lunch, closes at 4 pm. ”
