Blue Ridge, GA, Pet-Friendly Restaurants

One of the most important aspects of a fulfilling vacation is the food! Explore Blue Ridge GA pet friendly restaurants, where outdoor seating areas cater to your four-legged friend’s needs.

Harvest On Main

Begin your food experience at Harvest On Main with their special Blue Ridge Sampler. Tasty Flatbread goes great with their roasted red pepper hummus, while pickled tomatoes, olive relish, and corn salad create a delightful dish. While your furry friend is making new friends, enjoy the shrimp scampi, a tasty encounter of Argentine red prawns with artichokes and smoked tomato in a butter sauce with linguine.

Cantaberry

Next, pay a visit to the esteemed Cantaberry. While dining at this Blue Ridge restaurant, try out their smoked gouda jalapeño pimento cheese and love the southern favorite — fried okra. While your dog enjoys a nap beside you, try the delicious pulled pork sandwich. This perfectly slow-cooked pork is covered in their homemade BBQ sauce, topped with slaw, put in a bun, and served with a side you pick.

The Dogwood

Visit The Dogwood next, where “sip, savor, hang awhile” is their motto. Get a taste of their fish tacos, the fresh seafood either blackened or fried, served in tequila lime slaw. Roasted corn and avocado salsa complement the dish, while a side of tots adds balance. Pair your meal with a Creature Comforts Classic City Lager for the perfect flavor combination.

Black Sheep Restaurant

Experience a food adventure at the Black Sheep Restaurant. Try their lamb chop lollipops with roasted shallot aioli and balsamic glaze. Next, indulge in the black and blue filet mignon with gorgonzola butter and tender roasted portabella mushroom, topped with brown sugar onion jam and crispy herb potatoes. Finish with a sip of their Smoky Sheep Old Fashioned — an Elijah Craig Bourbon with barrel-smoked maple syrup, decorated with rosemary and orange, and candied bacon for the finishing touch.
