Ellijay Restaurant Week Returns This May- Nominations Now Open

Do you have a favorite dish you always come back to? Is there a local restaurant you recommend to everyone? Just love trying out all the great spots around town?

If that sounds like you, mark your calendars for the 2025 Ellijay Restaurant Week returning on May 11-17th! Throughout the week, the Gilmer Chamber will recognize standout local restaurants and staff with awards in several categories, all based on community input.

Starting today, April 7, you can nominate your favorite local spots to be part of this year’s Restaurant Week. Whether it’s your go-to burger joint or a hidden gem that deserves more love, this is your chance to shine a light on the places you enjoy most. Nominations close on April 14.

The Ellijay Restaurant Week awards are People’s Choice Awards and only one award will be given per category. Nominations will be open from April 7, 2025 through April 14, 2025. After nominations, the top 3 restaurants/establishments nominated for each category will move on to voting. Establishments and their employees will be eligible to win two restaurant category awards and one service category award. If an establishment makes it to the voting round in more than the maximum number of categories, the owner will be asked which category they would like to move into voting for.

Voting will be open from April 18, 2025 through April 25, 2025.
