Welcome to The Sawmill Place Kitchen + Market. Tucked away in the North Georgia Mountains, just outside the scenic town of Blairsville, sits a cabin eatery and market that represents all things local. Local farmers, growers and purveyors serve as the source for the breakfast and lunch menus. The Farm to Table concept is carried over into the Market where local produce, Georgia grown products and Tri-State area artisans provide unique gifts for locals and travelers alike. Relax in a rocker on the front porch, enjoy home-cooked meals from our kitchen and shop for hand-crafted snacks for your cabin stay.
Owners Stephen and Ashley Holland are both Georgia natives.
Ashley grew up on the Belfast River in Richmond Hill and was throwing a cast net, pulling crab traps, fishing and driving a boat all before the age of 5. She has fond memories of shrimping with her father and having a low country boil on the dock as soon as they were back. Many days were spent with her Papa Durward in local honey holes and secret spots catching trout, something Stephen would later enjoy greatly. Ashley’s love for low county cooking comes from a strong line of wonderful cooks. Her Grandma Irma made, hands down, the best shrimp gravy you would ever eat, something Ashley has yet to master. One of Ashley’s favorite things to make is her mother’s recipe of Crab and Shrimp Au Gratin, rich creamy, and flavorful served over yellow rice. Her Nana Lila and Papa Durward were the place to go for a down home fish fry, you could always count on some of her homemade coleslaw and delicious hush puppies.
At Rib Country, choice cuts of meat are basted with our special sauce and Bar-B-Qued over selected hardwoods, carefully balancing heat and cooking time to seal in the special Rib Country taste! Find our locations in Northeast Georgia and North Carolina.
