Restaurants near Americas Best Value Inn Blue Ridge

We dined here for our anniversary today. Service was excellent, food was excellent, seating wasn’t as intimate as I expected. Felt like we were in the middle of a 4 lane hwy. Overall, it was very nice.

My wife and I had our 49th anniversary supper at Glen Ella Inn and Restaurant on 11/23/24. We both enjoy lamb which my wife had on a prior visit, so I had the 4 pc. rack of lamb and she ordered the beef, both medium rare. Her beef was so tender you could use a table knife. My New Zealand lamb was grilled and excellent also. The restaurant has 2 separate rooms each with fireplaces and approximately 7 tables each with no dividers in each room with the noise level being quiet while conversing normally. Our waitress, Bonnie was attentive, not overly, and we never felt rushed, but our reservation was 7 pm. and it was near 9 when we finished and closing time. For ambiance with an excellent meal, for a quiet evening, Glen Ella is a great choice. Our bill with 1 french onion soup and 1 coffee and the 2 entrees was a little over $100.

This was my second visit, and it was as great as the first. The food is phenomenal, and there is something for everyone. Sushi, salafs, steak, and my favorite...Bluegrass Chicken. There is a huge staff and we have not seen any tables waiting for service. Catch someone eye and they are at your table. The noise level is a bit high since the main space is a large open area. But we were able to converse without raising our voices too much, I highly recommend Malone's for a birthday or celebratory dinner or just a simple night out! Dress up or casually.

We had a wonderful experience for dinner. Hannah, our server was by far the best server we've had anywhere. In fact, all the staff at Burra were super energetic and helpful.

Great experience! Would definitely go back. The smoked old fashion is a must if you are into old fashions.
