North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains | Blairsville, Georgia | Union County | Fatz Cafe
Today, the sun came out and the skies were blue again after eight straight days of rain. Torrential 
downpours at times with Ellijay getting as much as 4 inches in just a few hours. The North Georgia Mountain creeks and rivers were rolling for sure but we were more fortunate than our neighbors to the south and west of us. Paulding County for example, got as much as 15 inches of rain on Sunday alone. Areas that have never flooded, areas designated as not being in a flood zone flooded. My son's house had a near miss but a long time friend's house wasn't as fortunate. Neither house is in a flood plain.
I took a short drive to revamp my spirit and headed to Blairsville for lunch at one of my favorite places, FATZ. I make this 20 mile trip from Blue Ridge about once a week for the sole purpose to have lunch at FATZ. The drive is beautiful and FATZ has great food, a wonderful menu selection, comfortable ambience and the service is great so it's a nice all around quick trip to enjoy a leisurely lunch.
I arrived and was greeted in their usual friendly manner. My server came over and said his name was Sam and he would be taking care of me. I didn't know Sam, had never seen Sam before. Talk about exceeding all expectations and providing excellent customer service! Sam was friendly but professional, attentive but not overbearing, and I could just tell it was as natural to him to be genuinely courteous and caring as it was to breathe. Sam had a large party to serve and several smaller parties but everyone in his section got his undivided attention. I complimented Sam for his excellent service and other diners sitting nearby echoed my praises.
Sam, should you see this blog, thank you again for your exceptional service today. You helped me slow down and appreciate a beautiful, sunshiny day and reminded me of my own personal goal to provide exceptional customer service. You inspired me and renewed my energy. It's easy to see why FATZ is so successful because employees like you are an integral part to their continued success.
So, anyone living or visiting in or around Blairsville, treat yourself to dining at FATZ and maybe you'll get really lucky to have Sam serve you.
