    Great brunch after church. First time in here for a meal. Love the buffet style concept where you can be served fresh hot food all the time. Service is very efficient and spot on. Choices for Sunday brunch was very good ham,fried chicken, baked chicken, chicken tenders and I think pulled pork. Plenty of veggie options to choose from. Rolls or corn bread good options with your meal. One meat and two veggie options less than $10.00. I had the fried chicken, Mac &cheese and green beans. Chicken was excellent and very moist, M&C could have been cooked a little longer to melt the cheese more. Green Beans were okay did not jump out at me. My wife had the fried chicken also with mashed potatoes and collard greens. She loved all of it. Overall a very good meal and enjoyed the restaurant. They have standard menu for different days of the week. You can also order from the grill and have breakfast. Nice country feel in the restaurant enjoyed the way it is set up. They clean your table for you after you are done. We will be back and try something else.

    This is a great spot for a meal that's quick, good, and inexpensive. It's a cafeteria style service where you walk through the line and order your food. You can do the hot bar with your choice of meat, vegetables, and bread or the grill menu with sandwiches and sides. Everything was really good and there is plenty of seating outside and inside. They even have a drive thru.

    Tried this place for the first time today. At first I was very hesitant from walking in and grabbing a tray school style. I was completely wrong because it was a blast going through the line and seeing all the different foods and veggies. The food I got was fried chicken, mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. All of which were very very good. The mashed potatoes were not instant and the roll was so soft. However the only faults I found were was in the chicken and macaroni and cheese. Both were abit overcooked and dry. The noodles were very mush on the macaroni but was very flavorful. I'd definitely try this family style place to eat dinner with friends or family.

    Wasn't quite sure if we would find a soul food restaurant while in the area visiting Anna Ruby…read moreFalls and we asked and were not disappointed by the souls food restaurant that sits on top of the hill. The building reminded me of a NJ diner but more modern. We went at lunch time and I ordered the Auntie's Special (1 - meat, 2 vegetables, choice of bread (roll or cornbread), drink and dessert for $14.49. A lot of good tasty food for the price. The chicken livers were nice and tender. I didn't really care for the peach cobbler it was a little to soupy for my taste but everything else including the sweet tea made up for it.

Well.....we were so disappointed. We each chose the meat and 2 special with drinks and dessert. You really can't beat that deal! We both chose country fried steak and mashed potatoes. I chose brown gravy, fried okra and cobbler and he chose white gravy, broccoli casserole, and banana pudding. During Covid, I had stocked up on instant mashed potatoes, and we both recognized that these were indeed the very brand we had in the cabinet at home. I recognized the brown packet gravy, and he reported the white was extremely bland, much like the decor. The okra...looked like it was from a frozen bag. Uniform pieces, no flavor. And it's summertime. Fresh is right outside the door around here. You can't pass that as the real thing. He said his broccoli casserole tasted burnt. The country fried steak was the star of the show. Until I got home and it came back up. The location is fine. The potential, stellar!! But folks, soul food needs soul. As much as we wanted this to be a hit, it was a very sad miss.

Seating was roomy and comfortable. Bathroom clean. Our group got a variety of things from the menu and off menu. The pulled pork sandwich was right on. Couldn't eat all of so we saved it and ate it with some eggs at breakfast. Yum! The fried okra was hot and crunchy, and quite the serving. The little dish was heaped high with deliciousness. I got the Brunswick Stew, which was not on the menu, but on the specials board at the entrance. I never miss a chance to eat Brunswick Stew. It was just right. Not too spicy. Not too vinegary. I got a bowl and shared it. I also got the baked sweet potato. That was a real treat. The potato was hot and cooked to silky smooth. It's served with this brown sugar butter that made it a dessert. One our group got the fried apple pie with ice cream. I'm not a fan of fruit pies, but I did have a nibble of the crust. It was light and crispy. Not heavy, tough and crumbly as I've seen done by others in the mountains. I would almost eat a serving of fried crust dough. Serve with that butter for the sweet potato, and some ice cream-THAT would be awesome. On your way out don't forget to pick up some grits or pancake mix from Logan Mill. It's the only grits I serve at my house.

The view of Mt Yonah was stunning, the setup of the place was cool, and the ambiance of their inside/outside area was nice. My two complaints are that it got pretty cold in their glass windowed area- they had a small heater but it wasn't doing much, and they don't give free cups of water here. I'd recommend adding larger heaters and getting a couple of them, considering how cold it can get in North GA in the winter. I'd also recommend giving free water instead of requiring that people buy bottled water. If you were in the Atlanta area, not offering free water would be a code violation. Not sure if that applies here but just to be courteous to your customers you should be doing that. Back to the positives... I ordered a coffee based frappe with the "glamping" flavor (white chocolate and marshmallow) and I thought it was amazing. 10/10. I would definitely order it again. My order came out in a decent amount of time and the employees were friendly. The prices were reasonable and we found parking easily. I would happily come here again! I think there could be a couple improvements (the water issue is why I deducted a star) but if they address those few things then I'd think the place is a 5/5 :) I would come back! (And bring my water bottle with me lol)

Today my husband and I went in about 2:00 and there were only a couple of people there. Mallory and Brittany both waited on us. However, the cook was more interested in talking to the customers including his daughter and granddaughter than doing his job. We had already eaten and were waiting on our waffle (which my husband likes to eat last). We waited and waited. The cook finally remembered he had a waffle cooking and, of course, it was burnt when. He went to get it. I watched him throw it away and start another one for us. Then he started showing a young girl his arm. Don't know why, but o very again he forgot about our waffle. I finally told Brittany that it should be ready and we didn't want it to burn again. She sent someone to check on it and when that same cook brought it to us, he said sorry about that. Well it wasn't yet burnt but more done than usual. Everyone working there was new since our last visit which was a shame because we have never had such bad service.
