Fightingtown Tavern in Blue Ridge

Menu is 99% scratch made and cooked to order.. expect a wait. All dressings, ketchup scratch made. Local (Ellijay), organic grass-fed beef burgers. Waitstaff super friendly and welcoming. Big time Rock & Roll vibe.. each table has Rock & Roll trivia questions. Limited draft beer selection.. only 10 and all local. Good whiskey selection.

Excellent! Mac and cheese was some of the best I’ve ever had, and fish and chips were enormous and great. The ketchup was super unique and to be honest took a second to get used to. It had kind of an apple twist, never experienced something like that. The Incubus burger had my nose running, thing is a killer. Great vibe and atmosphere. We come to Blue Ridge at least once a week and this will definitely become one of our stops.

The food was absolutely delicious, the building was clean, and the staff was friendly. The food is the perfect combination of bar food and hipster creativity. My wife had the Georgia burger which had goat cheese and a cooked apple slice on it which she described as Heavenly. I had a Psycho burger, which I think is a chefs daily creation, mine had blue berry reduction and goat cheese, and it was odd but delicious. The homemade ketchup was so unique and delicious. My wife also ordered a off menu cocktail during the dinner rush which they made for her with no fuss. The restaurant states on there menu that they do not have a freezer of microwave at all and EVERYTHING is fresh and homemade, including the condiments. Even with all this fresh and homemade food the prices are only slightly higher than a standard burger joint, with two burger plates and a mountain of fries each, a off menu tequila sun rise and a Coke it came to $40. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome food .. you can really taste the quality in the food FULL Of flavor. Love the ketchup and I'm not a big ketchup person. Great service!!! Definitely recommend.

Fantastic service, portions, atmosphere, and people. Our server was Becca and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and specials. Her attention to detail and prompt service made our time here absolutely wonderful. Will come back next time we visit.

Neat rock themed pub atmosphere, and good burgers; we ordered medium rare and that's what we got. Everything is made on site, even the ketchup. Staff was very attentive and friendly, and service was fast. I should note that went there on a Sunday night off-season, so it was not crowded at all. I can imagine this place getting very crowded/ loud during tourist season. I'd still give it a try though.

Not bad during covid... But bring all the food within 3 or 5 minutes for the whole party.

We were very impressed. All the food is made on prem down to the Ketchup. We had our pups and they were too sweet to them. All the staff was efficient and friendly. It is very accepting and comfortable. We will be back!

Great dogs and burgers, and just about everything is made from scratch - even the ketchup! Good selection of beers, and great service too. Definitely worth a return!

Actually I’m giving this because of the hostess. We have 2 dogs and were wanting an outside table. The reviews said they were a good place for dogs. The girl just said the patio is full without saying anything else like “sorry but you can have a table if you wait for a while.” or giving us other suggestions. She was very dismissive.

Our bartender Jamie was great. The drinks were great and her customer service skills made us feel comfortable and welcome. This is a nice place to relax, drink, eat and have a good time.

The food is definitely original and inventive. I do so wish it was cleaner. The patio area needs a nice pressure wash and the tables and chairs a real good cleaning. The floor, our chairs and table were sticky. The floors could be tolerable but even after wiping our chairs and table stayed sticky. But the food was good with good cocktails and a good beer selection.

Located right downtown and easy to walk to. Parking is limited, but, worth the walk. During peak hours there can be quite a wait. They do get busy fast. Enjoy outside seating overlooking beautiful scenic Blue Ridge. The food is their own recipes, but that is what makes it flavorful and good. Not your old standard chain. It is a good different. They even have doggie seating. I had the One Hell of a Samich and the Bacon Mac N Cheese.

Food was pretty good and the service was really good. The ketchup was horrible and they should not try and make that in House anymore. Also the coleslaw was not coleslaw.

Food was incredible everything was fresh and made on site. I couldn't ask for more! The theme was what really pushed it over the edge, as a huge music fan it was awesome to see each table dedicated to a great rock artist or group. I was even so lucky to sit still the only table dedicated to my favorite band, Avenged Sevenfold.

My husband and I where on our anniversary trip we had heard great things about this place so we had to try it out! It is a MUST when you go to Blue Ridge trust me you’ll be glad you did! Our sever was AMAZING ask for Kenna when you go she is great, very polite, and never skipped a beat when we needed anything! The food is beyond amazing I ordered the Havana my husband had the Jack Daniels burger both amazing and cooked perfect! We will defiantly go back! Very clean, amazing atmosphere, GREAT/AMAZING food, and several drinks and beer to choose from! No complaints you guys are doing the thing 10 thumbs up! Thanks again for a great dinner! THANKS KENNA YOU WAS AWESOME!

Service was good. Didn't come by much. Their burgers are delicious! There mixed drinks are awful. Got a premium margarita after my 1st failed drink and all you could taste was sour mix. I couldn't even finish it.

Good Bier selection everything was good except the Fish & Chips should have never been served pile of grease

Food was good, service was not, however very impressed with management and how they addressed the issues we had with the service. Will definitely go back and give them a 2nd chance.

I love this place. I come here every time I'm in Blue Ridge. The food is great, beer selection is good (with a good amount of local craft brews) and service is always friendly. The food is unique and bit "off center" but you can tell they have a great sense of humor. Sit out on the patio for the breeze and a historical view of downtown Blue Ridge.

Absolutely Wonderful Truly Love their chicken sandwich and their wonderful kale salad They also have the best lemonade ever Thank You

This is a cool sports bar. It's clean and bright. There's an outside seating area. Service was great. The food was delicious. I recommend trying the burgers. I had the Black and Blue Ridge burger and it was phenomenal. The fries are really good too. There are trivial games if you're interested.

Great service from our WAITRESS (Lauren) and the entire crew was lots of fun. Great service and the what not. Will definitely visit again! Lauren's professionalism, service, and fun at our table - almost brought me to tears!

Absolutely loved this place! Food was amazing and service was the same! This restaurant cares about their customers and the quality of their food.

The people here are great. The owner Bonnie made our 30th anniversary night. I can say that the owners and staff really care about your experience with them. We will be back at Thanksgiving time. - Mark and Suzanne

4 visits 4 hairs in our food. Today 2 different beers had stuff floating in them, looked like mold (size of a quarter chunk). Was informed the draft machines weren't working for a week but that they had failed to clean the lines. Was told we would have a discount on our food but that did not happen. We also found out a kids meal costs $10.50 WITHOUT a drink. Use to love this place but very disappointed anymore.

Atmosphere was great! Music and drinks on tap. We may have ordered poorly but food was so so. Fries were soggy but ketchup was killer.

Great menu! Food was amazing.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Best place to eat at in Blue Ridge, Ga. Food was delicious and came out quickly. The staff was very attentive and the service was great. We had a couple of cocktails and they were very good too. Our 2 yr old daughter was obsessed with their homemade ketchup. One of the staff members came out and gifted us a free bottle of their ketchup for our little girl. If I could rate this place 10/10 I would. We will definitely be coming back to eat here again. If you are debating on checking this place out, do yourself a favor and go. You will not be disappointed.

Great service! Excellent home made food. Definitely will go back

Good Whiskey selection. Nice view from deck an dog friendly.

This place can be very hit or miss. Today, the service was really poor on the balcony. Was charged for ranch I asked for when placing the order, but didn't receive until we got the bill after several reminders. We asked for a plate to split the two plates we ordered and never got the plate. Cup was empty almost the entire time. The Mammoth nachos were very underwhelming.

Loving the creativity, I just wish this place was more flexible (with to-go ordering on the weekend) considering the current pandemic situation. Totally understandable that you wouldn’t have to-go orders on weekends during normal times, but this is not normal times. Super bummed, but would rather be safe right now.

Loved the music. The service was pretty good but seemed slow even though they weren't very busy. The food was good. Everyone liked their meal.

This meal was a complete disaster from beginning to end. The beer taps were broken. We waited an hour and half for our food. The food was absolutely terrible. We literally drove directly to Wendy’s to eat because no one ate their food. We had to ask multiple times for napkins and our server was wearing her mask under her nose. I wish we would have saved our money and skipped this restaurant.

Five stars for the music alone :) Great stop in between shopping downtown. We stopped in for some hot wings and cold beers. Service was great, food yummy and music rock'n!

My wife and I, along with our two children stopped by tonight. I'd rate the service as five stars, the atmosphere as five stars, and the food as three stars. I picked the "choose 2" burger option (bacon and halepenos) and, while it was cooked perfectly according to my medium rare request, was absolutely bland. I got the taco soup as a side and it tasted like the ingredients hadn't had time to merge together. The kids ordered a side of fries and they were neither crispy nor soggy - just run of the mill bar good. I'd go back to drink with friends but not if dinner was the first priority. I'll also add that the waitress walked by with a plate of wings and they smelled really good. I wish I'd gotten them instead of the burger.

Great service and cornhole to play outside to pass the time while you drink with friends. Off the beaten path so they weren't slammed like blue coyote.

Great little place. Variety of dishes. Everyone was pleased with their meals. Jack Daniel's glazed burger and Mexican street corn.

When my family and I visit Blue Ridge, there’s no question that we will be eating here. The food is amazing because, well, it’s delicious, but there’s no junk in it! We research far and wide to find places like this and we love it. Also, the ketchup is amazing. I hate ketchup, but their stuff is mmmhmm something I look forward to. Eat here. Eat clean. Eat the ketchup.

Best of Blue Ridge. Inventive kids menu, best (and only) Buffalo grilled cheese I've ever had, and a convivial patio.

Where does an Atlanta chef that is looking for some laid-back action with great good go for a quick honeymoon??? Fightingtown Tavern in Blue Ridge is a MUST!! @fightingtown had a simply amazing burger with exceptional tacos, in addition to excellent service, great music, fair prices AND a covered balcony!!! If you're in Blue Ridge and not visiting Fightingtown then you've missed out!

good food. good service

Delicious love the atmosphere, margaritas 👌and our waiter was amazing.

Its seems like a nice place, but it took a while to get a table and it was very hot in there.

The only reason it gets 2 stars is bc the server was great. The food is terrible! The table next to us even left mid meal. They tout the fact they make all their own sauces and whatever, I understand that may be the hip thing to do but come on. Children like regular ranch and regular ketchup. Not the bar food chefs (line cook) take on some weird sauce. Honestly, if you have kids, stay away. If your looking for a drink, the selection seemed fine and is just a bit over priced. Will never go back and I hope the owners take the advice of the many complaints they get on their condiments.

Cold beer and great burgers. Dog friendly too, on the porch.

Everything about this place is perfect. The drinks are strong and the food is top notch! Service is on point. My family requests this even though its an hour from our home. It's worth the drive!!!!

Wow that was delicious, we both got the Georgia charm apple burger. The apple ketchup is also a very nice surprise. I'd recommend paying the $5 to park in the lot next to the restaurant rather than getting free parking two streets over. After two meals and two drinks the bill was $51 the food was so good, we left $65.
