| Hamburger with provolone |
My husband and I went on a small day trip to look over a few
cool sites he had found during his travels as a courier for a local delivery
service. After seeing a couple of old houses and one marvelous old mill in
Calhoun, GA, we drove up to Elijay and Blue Ridge. By the time we had looked
around Blue Ridge, GA, our stomachs were growling and we were ready for some
major food. We looked around and found a little hole-in-the wall restaurant
called
Whistle Stop Grill.

I expected a lunch counter type restaurant and was very
surprised when I walked into a dimly lit establishment. I discovered quickly
this place was much more a bar and grill then just a grill. None-the-less we
set down to enjoy an exceptional lunch. Since great minds think alike, we both
decided to order hamburgers. I ordered a cheeseburger with the typical garden
and hubby had a mushroom-swiss burger. We were not impressed with the prices
since both burgers were around $9.00 each. We finally decided that price was
not too bad since it included our choice of a side. Of course, we chose fries
with our hamburgers.

The wait was a bit longer than I am use to and I was
beginning to get nervous when our burgers finally arrived. As the server placed
the baskets on the table, my hubby and I locked eyes and nodded. We were both impressed. The burgers were the
perfect size and looked absolutely delicious. Once we had added our condiments,
we took our first juicy, greasy bites and both moaned in pleasure. They were
absolutely heavenly. The seasoning of the burger was almost over done but, we
loved it that way. After we polished off the burgers, we began to munch on the
fries. The fries were of the shoe string variety and seasoned perfectly.
Although, the service and food were slow and the
atmosphere/building was a bit rough around the edges, I would highly recommend the
Whistle Stop Grill as a great place for a good burger. They are located at 500
East Main Street in Blue Ridge, GA. Since they are on the basement level, they
can be hard to find but they are worth looking for, trust me. Good night and
may sweet dreams of exploring the wonderful Chattanooga area come your way.
