Five Stars -- This Place Saved the Trip…read more Let me set the scene. We were heading to Callaway Gardens to pick up some Venice jewelry (I'll talk about that later), when I discovered that the Oyster House -- the seafood spot I was counting on -- was permanently closed according to Yelp. I was devastated. Like... fully prepared to cancel Pine Mountain altogether. I was having a whole moment. Then I did a little digging and found out that Eddie Mae's Kountry Kitchen & Oyster Bar had the same owner. I found this out before we arrived, and I knew immediately -- we HAD to stop there. And let me tell you... January 3, 2026 -- this is all I needed in my life. This is GOOD seafood. Like, really good seafood. Freshly cooked. Hot. Flavorful. Done right. The service? AMAZING. The people? Warm, genuine, country hospitality at its finest. The vibe? Real, welcoming, and comfortable -- no nonsense, just good food and good people. Food. Service. Atmosphere. People. Clean restaurant. Clean restrooms. Five stars across the board. I'll be honest -- I will never come to Pine Mountain again unless I know Eddie Mae's is open. I need y'all to hang in there with me because otherwise I can't even travel outside of Atlanta for real. If you want legit seafood, incredible service, and that authentic country goodness -- this is the place.

The day after Thanksgiving, about twenty of us rolled into Eddie Mae's Seafood Kitchen in Pine…read moreMountain, Georgia, still stuffed with turkey but ready for something fried, buttery, and Southern. Wrangling twenty hungry folks is no small feat, but our waitress handled us like a maestro conducting a seafood symphony. Not one single mess up. Not one forgotten order. Just pure joy, laughter, and the kind of energy that makes you swear her heart runs on sweet tea and Sunday kindness. She didn't just serve us, she took care of us. Her laughter kept us laughing, her smile kept us smiling, and her love for what she does poured out like sweet tea on a hot day. The world needs more people like her, because she reminded us that service can be more than just food, it can be a refreshing, soul filling experience. And the food? Absolutely amazing. Not only did we have seafood, but some of us went for the buffet, the kiddos got their grilled cheese, and the burgers were downright delicious. Plates of goodness that made us forget all about yesterday's turkey coma. To top it off, they had my favorite wine (hallelujah!) and beers for everyone else, which meant the whole table was happy. Eddie Mae's gave us more than lunch, it gave us a memory. A funny, touching, belly filling memory that we'll be talking about for years. Five stars, no hesitation.

Not many options for those with gluten sensitivity but for the rest of us, a homey, filling, and delicious meal is always on the menu. Bonus?

The store is also a great place to stock up on souvenirs and gifts with local flavor, we will usually grab a few stocking stuffers on our way out.

Service friendly and the place is clean.

On Saturday we ordered our food at 7:30 pm and we received it at 8:30 pm. By the time we finished eating it was 9:15 pm. Our Smothered Chicken had no sauce or gravy. Veggies looked to be thrown on the plate. I was so embarrassed as folks requested sauce. It took a while so when we tried to attend the Pumpkin Gala it was closed. So we wasted money on 17 tickets. Callaway Resort & Gardens has Changed a lot. The landscape is populated with dry dying plants everywhere was old bark around bushes. The Spa was nice as usual but not many smiling employees.

The sauce on the side was a great addition and the mashed potatoes were fluffy and thick which I liked.

Every bite was packed with flavor, you can really tell they care about the quality of what they're serving. Beyond the kitchen, the service was top-notch; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. One of the biggest wins for me was the outdoor seating. It's so hard to find great spots where I can sit outside with my furbabies, but they were so welcoming to my dogs. Plus, when the bill came, I was shocked at how low the price was for the amount and quality of food we got. Great vibes, delicious eats, and pet-friendly, we will definitely be back

This is truly a hidden gem of a place in the heart of Pin Mountain…read more According to the restaurant, they started the Gallery in 2007 and opened the cafe in 2015. This is on the west side of Martha Berry Highway in a row of the shops right off the main street. There is parking right in front of the store. It is a gift shop and a cafe/coffee shop. This means that it looks unlike any restaurant that you have probably visited. That is one of the things that gives it charm. The cafe/coffee shop is at the back of the store. The menu is on the wall and includes Bagels, panini's wraps and pizzas. We tried the cinnamon roll and another pastry. The prices were very reasonable with most entrees between $8 and $11. The staff was very friendly. We ordered at the counter and they heated the food up and brought it to our table. Seating is an eclectic mixture of tables and chairs and couches inside and some tables outside on the sidewalk. We decided to sit by the window and found the experience very enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the coffee and the pastry and I liked the cinnamon roll. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with nice staff, good food, great prices in a comfortable environment.
