Smashburger
Hannah S.

Stopped in after our hike in Helen cause some of the locals recommended it to us. Everything was just alright. The place was pretty empty but the service was super slow. The pork was definitely the best thing we ordered but it was dry could use more sauce.

Nachos

Ohhhh Yes! Love the food, unique, fun, and you can tell everything on the menu had thought put into it. You have to keep coming back because there's so many items I want to try! Everything we ate was delicious. Daughter had a burger, I had the nachos, husband had their fried chicken, son chicken fingers, other son had fish and chips. Omg the slaw is some of the best I've ever had!

Campfire signature smash burger (partially eaten sorry ) the lil campfire prod is way cute!

Our server was great Food was good. I would recommend the chips & queso! Decent food, mostly decent prices. The music was fire AF though so if you go to dinner in hopes of taking in some awesome tunes, you'll be happy here I do want to add they might want to check some of their entitled younger staff members. We originally sat outside but there were two toddlers that started screaming and crying. They continued for over 5 minutes so I asked if we could move inside. Literally after only being sat for 7 minutes and our server had only brought us water. Coming from the industry I understand this creates an issue with servers and their sections so I get it but to have a server be rude and make a snide comment "well let me know if the next one is actually my table and I can have my section back" AS SHE WALKED PAST OUR TABLE was so incredibly uncalled for. But I do understand her frustration. But being rude to the customer bc another customer made a situation very unpleasant isn't how you should handle it. I almost left 3 stars bc of this but it's not fair to everything and everyone else there that was awesome

Helen Georgia~ Cute lil cafe! I had the fried green tomato salad. I love fried green tomatoes. These were nicely breaded, but very mushy and tasteless tomatoes. Disappointing, but the rest of the salad, including their smoked Caesar salad dressing, was really delicious. Cornbread croutons topped off the salad and they were super yummy. Everyone else had a version of the smash burger. One person had chili cheese fries, one person had a gluten-free bun, someone else had regular fries, and one also had the Mexican street corn salad. All agreed that the burgers were juicy and delicious! Sides were good too! Definitely would recommend this place, even though the service was extremely slow. I think the guys made the food with love and patience.

After a fun afternoon making candles in Sautee Nacoochee we asked for lunch recommendations and this place sounded great. So we headed over to Helen for some burgers. There was a huge parking lot inside a plaza with other stores. Warning that my cell service was very intermittent while they to navigate here so plan ahead for directions. We took a seat and the menu had a lot of appetizing choices. We went with the smash burgers and they were delicious. The fries were well seasoned too. If I had room for dessert I would've kept going. I really wanted to try the campfire s'mores pie. The food was a 5/5. The service was good and attentive. My family and I were engaging In conversation and catching up with each other. Now this is where the lower rating comes in. We were politely asked to vacate our table after we had finished our food. We were deep in conversation and told that they were prepping for the dinner rush. I wouldn't say it is completely unfair to request this, however it wasn't the vibe we were going for. It did sour the experience the bit. If you are looking for a quick in and out meal, this is your place. The food is delicious and there are so many tempting things on the menu. However, if you are looking for a slower paced meal where you can chat and hang around a bit after, this is not the place.

This is the ribeye steak with Mac n cheese. So good!

We go here almost every weekend and the food and service is always AMAZING! I highly recommend the ribeye steak it's so juicy and just melts in your mouth, they also get all of their meat locally so it's great! I also recommend the chips and queso appetizer as well as the fried green tomatoes, they are hands down the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is also great with options to sit on the outdoor patio, it's great

Campfire smash burger with no bacon
Kat H.

We ordered the campfire smash and a plate of nachos. The burger was great! The nachos were an 8/10 for me, wonderful in house made chips but I do wish the toppings came with a little more meat, it felt a little stingy for the price. Flavor was great though! The restaurant is pretty small and our server was great, she gave us enough space and time to look over the menu without forgetting we were there. Would go again

Smash burger and seasoned fried.

Campfire delivers amazing food, great service and a relaxed atmosphere! We started with the fried green tomatoes; absolutely unique flavors with feta, balsamic and hot honey...I could not get enough of these! Next up, a perfectly prepared smash burger with fresh toppings and seasoned fries; well prepared and carefully crafted food that makes you want to eat every bite on the plate. To compliment the amazing food, the service was very friendly and attentive! If you are in the town of Helen and hungry for GREAT food...CAMPFIRE will not disappoint! Try the fried green tomatoes...you can thank me later

Time is the most precious thing you have. We only had one night in Helen and plan to eat at campfire. When we arrived, we had to wait approximately 20 minutes, which is fine. When we were seated, they sat us in a back hallway right in front of the kitchen swinging door. The kitchen staff was blaring music, which started off the headache. I asked if we could move and she said sure. We ordered and then started to wait. And wait. And wait. She finally came over and said that she had forgot to put our order in and would I like a drink on the house. My wife suggested a martini and the waitress said, "yeah right". The waitress said she would bring me a tea. We waited another 30 minutes and never got our food. We got up and politely offered to pay for the salad that we had eaten. They said that's OK. I didn't time it, but I would say we sat there for about 45 minutes to an hour. They wasted our time and one night of our dinner in Helen. I have no idea if the food is any good. I will never know because I won't go back.

Fish and Chips!!
Cobin G.

Food was pretty good! It wasn't too bad! Nice! The service was rather quick and they were really nice! The thing that stuck out to me the most was probably the look of the place! It makes me feel like I am having food in a house rather than a restaurant and I think that's pretty cool! The ambiance is pretty nice! If you are a countryman, I'd recommend you come to this place because there is country music playing and it feels pretty country like! Overall, nice restaurant!

Awesome Burger!
Dusty F.

Good burger or great burger? Great! In fact, I can't imagine a burger getting much better. Fries and mac n cheese were also very good. I am a fan.

Great German beer!

Dog friendly, on the sidewalk. Waiter brought our pup water and a treat. All our food was amazing. Chicken Alfredo, fish n chips and Firebird chicken sandwich. Portions were great! Will was our server.

Campfire Smashburger.

Wow! We were recommended this spot by the bartender at Bangkok Haus the night before. I am SO glad we tried it! Apart from being within walking distance of our hotel, the food was amazing! We started with the campfire nachos and could have almost stopped there! That was enough for 4 people easy!, see the picture. I had the smash-burger and it was near perfect. I will say that to my taste it was a little salty, but I also added no ketchup or mustard which would normally mask some of the saltiness. I didn't because it simply didn't need it! It was excellent. They have an option to add a third patty to it but I don't know how you could eat it! My wife had their ribeye. We questioned it a little at $37, and my wife is a bit of a steak snob as she cooks them so well at home, but she said she would buy it again! It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It was about 14oz with no bone. And of the whole steak there was only one small piece of gristle. It cut like butter and needed nothing else. Also of note was the live music. It's a small space, but the music wasn't over the top or too loud. It added well to the meal . Overall VERY glad we tried it out. Provably would have never even known had it not been for the recommendation. Talk to your bartenders! It's worth it!.

We will absolutely be back to see you. The atmosphere was sooooo inviting and welcoming -- the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable and excited to sit down and enjoy a great meal. Now let's talk about the real reason we'll be back... the FOOD. WOW. My nephew and his fiancée were visiting, so we made the drive from Atlanta up to Helen. We were completely indecisive about where to eat, but after reading the menu, we decided to give this place a try. Best decision ever -- because now we officially have a go-to spot in Helen. The steak was the absolute star of my plate -- cooked perfectly and full of flavor. My nephew also ordered the steak, and here's how I knew it was a winner: he normally adds A1 sauce to every steak he eats... but this time? Not a single drop. That alone told me everything I needed to know. Laz said he had the best burger he's ever had, and my nephew's fiancée agreed -- which says a lot! Between the phenomenal service, welcoming atmosphere, and unforgettable food, this place is a must. We will definitely be back every time we visit Helen.

From the appetizer of the "Pork Belly" which was super yummy to the "Truffle Hawg" Burger I ordered with a side of "Gouda Mac N' Cheese". All of us were soo very pleased with the food selections we had chosen. Even the following day we were still talking about the food and how we wish we could've went back to this restaurant. Our family members can't wait to come back to visit so we can go back and eat there. But my partner and I will defy make a trip to it since we live in Atlanta. The place wasn't super crowded, the heater lamps were on since it was a bit chilly so it felt nice. There was no loud music so overall a very nice ambiance I must say. Please keep up the awesome job. Major kudos to the owners and the cooks in the kitchen
