A delightful surprise...

While attending a festival in Blairsville, GA we stumbled on the Copperhead Lodge.  Not only was it a great place to stay and hang out but a great place to eat.

They proclaim to have "Southern food with an Attitude" and they do!  Chef Billy does a great job incorporating attitude into good ol' fashion food... like Fried Grit Balls!!  Cheesy Grits, lightly breaded and deep fried... YUM!!

The Fried Green Tomato appetizer was great.  The tomatoes were GBD - Golden Brown Delicious - without the tomatoes turning to mush.  They were properly seasoned and the dipping sauce served on the side was fantastic.

I ordered their NY Strip Steak which was on special that night - it came with Blue Cheese crumbles on top, choice of two sides and a salad.  It was cooked perfectly and Chef Billy came out himself to ensure it was at the right temperature!

My wife ordered the Black and Blue Burger - it was juicy although she snagged some of my Blue Cheese off my steak to make up for the small amount given on top of her burger.

The Children's Cheeseburger was just about the same size and 1/2 of both burgers ended up in a to go box!!

Lodge Owners Anthony and Michelle really strive to make the Lodge comfortable and inviting and do a fantastic job.  There was live entertainment on the wrap around porch and the bar is a great place to hang out even if you aren't drinking!

We will certainly be back to stay as well as to eat!!
