2025 Best Server: Faith Forehand

Congratulations to Faith Forehand for being names Best Server in the 2025 Ellijay Restaurant Week! 🏆✨

Faith has been a valued part of The Roof team since day one. Over the years, her dedication, warmth, and incredible service have made her a favorite among guests. When she’s not making everyone feel at home at The Roof, Faith loves spending time with her son and her husband Chad, who you’ll find working right next door at The Door.

We are so happy for you, Faith, and we are grateful for all the heart and hospitality you share with our community and everyone who visits Ellijay, GA! 🏙️🍽️✨

About Ellijay Restaurant Week

Ellijay Restaurant Week is an annual celebration of Gilmer County’s vibrant food scene.
It’s a time to spotlight the chefs, teams, and establishments that make Ellijay such a special place to eat, gather, and connect. Whether it’s a local pub, a locally owned vineyard, or a fine dining spot, each venue brings its own flavor and heart to our town. Restaurant Week is our chance to say thank you, show support, and recognize the hard work behind every great meal.

A special shoutout to this year’s finalists in the Best Server category: Gabriela Valladares (Cantaberry Restaurant) and Tim Newnan (The Pink Pig), congratulations on your nomination! 🎉
