Summer is winding down,
and soon the kids will be back in school and the weather will be crisp. Take
these last couple weeks of the season and spend it doing all the summertime
things you and your family love best!

| The Blue Ridge Brewery offers some of the best burgers and beers around! |
When we think of the
summertime, we think of hot burgers, smoky barbecue, starry nights at the
drive-in and camping under the moon. You can do all those things and more in
Blue Ridge, home of numerous award-winning restaurants, like C-Bolts
Restaurant, The Blue Ridge Brewery, and Sue’s Cafeteria and Ice Cream Parlor,
all named by Garden & Gun Magazine as some of the best burger spots in the South (not many other places had more
than one restaurant on the list, we’re proud to say!).
If down home barbecue is
more your style, we can fix you up with that, too. Trip Advisor users recently named Georgia the best state for barbecue, and can you guess
where the number one restaurant is? Right here in beautiful Blue Ridge,
Georgia, of course! We’re proud to say that our own Joe’s BBQ is Trip Advisor’s
top barbecue restaurant, and we know why.
If you prefer not to get
your hands messy, visit Harvest on Main for a culinary experience to knock
your
socks off. They make awesome burgers, but they’re known for their upscale
versions of down-home comfort food like the “hot brown,” an open-faced turkey
sandwich with gravy, that will knock your socks off. It sure knocked the socks
off of the Thrillist editors who listed Harvest on Main among the 11 best Georgia restaurants
outside of Atlanta.

After you eat, take the
family to enjoy a first-run flick under the stars at the Swan Drive-In, one of
the 10 best drive-in theaters in the country!
A movie under the night sky in the warm summer air is fun enough, but the
concession stand is renowned for its funnel cakes, deep fried Oreo cookies, and
other scrumptious goodies! What a way to watch a movie!
We cherish our memories of
childhood camping under the stars, and if you do too, or just want to make some
of your own, Blue Ridge has several campground options to choose from. Visit
our Campgrounds page on
our website to select the one that’s right for your family. One thing’s for
sure – whatever your favorite end-of-summer activity, you can find it going on
in Georgia’s Blue Ridge!
