Places to Eat in Blairsville, Ga Downtown Pizza Factory

 Blairsville, Ga, sister town of Blue Ridge, Ga has a nice little pizza buffet. We had a birthday party there yesterday evening for my grandson. The service, food and price were good. First off, the price; at $10 dollars a head for all you can eat (drink not included), it is an awesome bargain. The salad bar was fresh with a very good variety of toppings to top your salad, (you can make a meal out of your salad).They have a decent selection of pizza including desert pizza. The only negative is that the pizza is not high quality such as Pizza Hut in Blue Ridge, Ga which I hope to visit soon and write a review. But for all you can eat, Downtown Pizza Factory in Blairsville, Ga is hard to beat.

Horses

Does anybody out there like horses? I think they are beautiful majestic beasts. Took these photos a few years ago, just ran across them.



Best Meatloaf in Blue Ridge Restaurants in Blue Ridge, Ga

 As far as good tasting Meatloaf goes, Southern Charm in downtown Blue Ridge, Ga has some of the best you can get in Blue Ridge. Not to pricey at $12.59 when compared to other downtown restaurants and a ample amount of some awesome tasting southern cuisine, Southern Charm’s homemade Meatloaf is a winner in my book. If you are looking for a good place to eat in Blue Ridge, I highly recommend Southern Charm, a nice down home restaurant that has a whole array of some of the finest southern cooking in town. Not only good food but a friendly welcoming atmosphere that focuses not only on good tasting food but fast, friendly stellar service.

Found a good place to walk in Blue Ridge, it is the old camping sites in the Green Creek ares of Blue Ridge  Lake. Nice little paved loop that follows the shoreline of the lake.You can access this by going to Dry Branch Road either off of Aska Rd or Old Hwy 76. The loop is right past boat ramp across from cemetery on opposite side of road. If you are looking for a good walking place that is a pretty walk without heading into the deep woods this is a good place.

Waterfall off Asks Rosd







Photos of waterfall off Aska road near Blue Ridge, Ga.  To see this waterfall take Aska road until you reach Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, take rosd directly across from it and stay on road to Benton/ Macaye trail access. Take trail on right side of road to the waterfall. Hike is fairly easy with a little steepness. You can also access the trail from Hwy 515 by taking road that goes in front of Rock Creek Baptist Church which is located south of Blue Ridge, Ga.

How Much Should I Tip My Server at Cracker Barrel Part 1

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, that wonderful place to eat where you get good country cooking at a decent price. While Cracker Barrel may not be fine dining, you still get the experience of being served at a full service restaurant, which customarily is followed by a gratuity by the guest. With Cracker Barrel having lower prices on their menu items that most sit-down full service restaurants some might wonder what is an appropriate tip to leave the server. Being a server at Cracker Barrel myself I might be biased on what I think an appropriate tip may be so I will not give a dollar amount but just give a little insight on various factor that affect server pay at Cracker Barrel. The first factor is menu prices.

If you tip based on the amount of the check then here are some things to consider. Cracker Barrel already has low prices but in addition to that they allow kids of all ages to order off the kids menus with meals that come wit a free drink for kids dinners (drinks not included with breakfast). This can drastically lower a check, so if you tip percentage, then you might leave two dollars on a ten dollar check for a few kids meals. That sounds fair and just and I reckon it is but realize this, that server had to take just as many steps as if you had ordered a rib-eye steak, had to refill your drink maybe worked just  as hard serving your kids meal as if you had ordered a big meal. People save money by ordering kids meals, if a server gives good service why not compensate them by forgetting about percentages and giving a decent tip if a person can afford it.

Servers work hard at Cracker Barrel Old Country to serve good food at affordable prices, consider rewarding them based on quality of service and not just on ticket prices.  I hope to post more later on on other factors to consider when tipping your servers at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. My hope is to educate people on things to consider when dining out at Cracker Barrel as far as tipping goes. In the course of the day I wait on all kinds of people from various walks of life, who leave all kinds of tips. Tips range from the extremely generous to non-existent known as getting stiffed, I want people to think as they tip and hopefully reward their servers proportional to their level of service.

Dolphin s at Gulf World Panama City Beach Florida

Pictures of one of the dolphin shows at Gulf World in Panama City Beach. Gulf World features two dolphin shows, one with sea lions and dolphins and another with  just dolphins. Gulf World is by no means Sea World but was a nice place to visit and to be able to see some marine creatures up close. The dolphin shows themselves are not half-bad and are somewhat informational as well. I hope to post more pictures from my weekend jaunt to Panama City later on so subscribe or check back.
