Ellis Bros Pecans

Terrible terrible terrible!!! The peaches were all rotten and busted up… I mean huge gashes that the gnats were feasting on. Apparently gnats were bad this time of year, but come on! They could have been more diligent about keeping them out!!! Samples were all covered in bugs and there was zero monitoring and many kids sticking their dirty hands in the sample boxes after licking their fingers. Totally gross and not worth the stop!!!

Our family absolutely loves stopping here on our way through Georgia. The samples are wonderful! We buy gifts here for our family in Kentucky and Florida and we also get our pecans every year at this store as well. Here is my full length review/​love letter about Ellis Bros Pecans:
You should definitely stop in if you are driving past exit 109 on I-​75. The prices are fair and the variety is the best.

You’d be nuts not to stop here.
A pecan lover’s dream. Free samples on almost everything. Reasonable prices. No entry fee. Unless you have a nut allergy, it’s worth it. Just about 2 minutes from I-​75.
We were a little nervous that this would be a tourist trap… it is touristy but I wouldn’t mind being trapped there!

This is a great place to spot for goodies to take home (or for on the road). We stop by on our way up to AND back from Chicago each year. Their pecans, peaches, breads, jams, syrups, brittles, etc are all fantastic! The butter pecan praline ice cream is deeeeelish. They have a cute assortment in the gift shop area. Generally everyone is nice and helpful.

Driving from North Georgia to Florida we passed Ellis Bros Pecans on our way, and it was the perfect stretch your legs, get a snack, potty break stop! Almost every item has a sample (peanut brittle, candied pecans, key lime pie pecans, chocolate covered peanuts, etc, etc.) and there are fun sauces, jams, jellies, and butters too!
The staff was friendly and helpful when asking about certain products, and they didn’t seem to mind that everyone was sampling everything! We did buy a few items for the road, and I hope to be able to stop here again on my next road trip in the area!

Whenever I have to make the super boring drive (7 hours) from Atlanta to Orlando, down I-​75, I usually find myself stopping at «We’re Nutz» aka Ellis Bros Pecans.
I stopped by on a whim, during one road trip, after seeing the several billboards on I-​75, and now it’s one of my go-​to destinations to give myself a reprieve from the all of the driving.
First of all, there’s tons of free samples to be had. Candied pecans. Savory pecans. Raw pecans. Pickled things. Jams. Jellies, Syrups. All homemade. It’s worth stopping by for a sample, and you’ll be bound to buy something, as I always am. Plus since I make this road trip to visit family, it’s always nice to pick up a small gift there for whoever is hosting us.
