Also, service is fabulously friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the temperature is comfy.

I would definitely visit again in the future to try more of their food.

If you've spent more than five minutes eating your way through Alpine Helen GA, you already know…read morethe truth: finding genuinely good, made-from-scratch food here feels like a competitive sport--and most places are losing. Campfire Restaurant isn't just winning... it's playing a completely different game. I've been here since day one, watching owner Matt and his crew build this place with intention and pride. This isn't a "let's open and see what happens" spot--this is passion, detail, and respect for doing food right. In a town where "authentic" can mean reheated and overpriced, Campfire stands out like a perfectly cooked ribeye in a sea of mediocrity. The vibe hits immediately--rustic North Georgia lodge meets modern comfort. Wood, textures, that Smoky Mountains ambiance. Indoor dining is cozy, outdoor dining under Edison lights is where the magic lives. It's date night, family dinner, or "I survived today" energy all in one place. Locals recommend this place for a reason--and locals don't hype things lightly. Now the food. Everything is made in-house--real Southern food, comfort food, and American food with flavor and consistency. The Southwest Gunpowder Nachos? Legendary. Handmade chips, massive portions--get steak and extra corn. It's two meals unless you're me. Best value in Helen. The smash burger is easily one of the best in Georgia--juicy, consistent, unforgettable. Fried chicken is solid, but locals will tell you: get the chicken tenders. Ribeye is tender, juicy, and always recommended. Mac and cheese? Creamy, different--but I'll admit I'm biased because mine is elite. Still worth trying. And the s'mores dessert--if you don't have room, make room. It's rich, indulgent, and perfect for date night or birthdays. Service has that "Cheers" feel--friendly, consistent, no judgment if you roll in looking like life just happened. They remember you, take care of you, and that matters. Parking is easy in the Alpine village shopping center. Seating is quick if you're smart about timing (don't be silly). Live music adds to the vibe without overpowering it. Prices are reasonable (rare for Helen), portions are big, and quality stays consistent--that trifecta is everything. This is a bucket list, must visit, locals favorite, top rated spot in Alpine Helen GA. Whether it's Oktoberfest, a Smoky Mountains trip, or just a Friday night--this is where you go when you want food that actually delivers. And honestly? In this town... that says everything. #facts REASONS TO VISIT: 1. Must visit, bucket list restaurant in Alpine Helen GA 2. Locals favorite, top rated, best in North Georgia 3.

We got there about 8:15 and were seated quickly. I knew I was going to order the ribeye, and my…read morewife ordered the chicken Alfredo. When a server set the steak on the table shortly after, I asked for 57 sauce, as I'm a sauce guy. When the server brought it back he told me to try a bite without sauce as their steaks are well seasoned. Boy was he right! The gunpowder seasoning along with the clarified butter really enhanced the flavor of the ribeye. My wife gave me a bite of her chicken Alfredo and it was well seasoned too. Nice balance of garlic. The sides are the reason for a the 4 star review, though if judged by the steak alone, it would easily be a 5 star review. I ordered the loaded mashed potatoes, and they were topped with cheese and bacon. The potatoes needed seasoning. Mostly salt, pepper, and butter. The same could be said of the Mac and cheese. Our server was amazing. He had a great personality, and made sure we had a good meal The restaurant was clean.

Had the Philly Cheese Steak with onions, no peppers but that was okay. Food was prepared correctly and served hot, French fries were excellent and fried just right so as not to soak up the ketchup and then become wimpy. They do a great take out service also seen many orders being picked up at the counter and the drive thru window. Highly recommend you check this place out if you are in town. Plenty of parking available in the lot. Keep up the great work will have to try one of their ice cream sodas next time in.

Oh, Country Bake Shoppe, you got me!…read more Being a bakery owner myself, I'm always excited to visit other bakeries. I genuinely enjoy seeing what other bakers create, tasting their specialties, and supporting the talent and hard work that goes into a small bakery. I stopped by Country Bake Shoppe and picked up Whoopie pies, cupcakes, and a pecan bar. Pumpkin nut bread was NOT on my original list. Then I tasted the Whoopie pie. Y'ALL. It was so good that I had to go back and get something else! That's when the pumpkin nut bread came home with me too. When something is good enough to make another bakery owner turn around and go back for more, that says something! There was something so comforting about this little country bakery. Nothing pretentious--just beautiful, homemade baked goods that taste like they were made by people who truly care about what comes out of their kitchen. As the owner of Sugar Daddys Bakery, I spend so much of my life creating things for other people to enjoy. Every once in a while, it's wonderful to be on the other side of the counter and simply enjoy another baker's work. And Country Bake Shoppe, I ENJOYED YOURS! That Whoopie pie got me through the door, but it certainly won't be the last thing I try. From one bakery owner to another: well done. There is room for all of us to shine, and I will ALWAYS celebrate another baker who is putting love into what they do. You definitely have this baker's stamp of approval. And yes...I'm still thinking about that Whoopie pie.

(Our hearts have been broken more than once, however, when we got home and discovered mustard on our burgers) Still, we can't quit them. That's how good the burgers are. I can't finish this review without mentioning their candy and cookies. Sometimes, we stop by just for that. It's a cute little grocery/produce/restaurant that deserves a lot of praise.

Best burger in North Georgia....maybe Georgia...just haven't had all of them, just a lot of them!!!…read moreWe always plan out trip to North Carolina to go through Clarksville at least one way if not both ways. We just love this place. They have had the same crew for a few years that we remember. Don't miss out on the best burger. We normally share a burger and fries but this is an exception...we get our own!!! The fries are even very good. And yes, they are probably frozen out of a bag but they just fry them like most just can't do. We also love to buy their jellies and jams. Top notch. Highly recommend and can't wait to return.
