The absolute best breakfast in the mountains of Georgia!…read more OMG... take your belt off and strap the top of your head down tight with it. Once you try their Philly steak omelette.... You're gonna want to keep the top of your head ... because it tastes so good your head might explode from how damn good it is. Add in the crispy cut potatoes, a great pancake and a hot cup of coffee ..... and you have a meal that is out of this world good. So fairly priced too. Another killer breakfast is The Sampler... this has a biscuit, gravy, eggs, the most delicious sausage patty you ever tasted, traditional bacon, Canadian bacon, grits and either toast or a pancake. So reasonable in price too! Just the two best breakfasts in the hills! And you're gonna be a fat ass when you walk out. It's soooooo good and filling!! If you want a burger.... This place has without a doubt.... The best burgers and the best prices for them. I kid you not. No exaggerating needed. Home cooked and juicy with great beef! To make the place even more amazing is the cute mountain interior inside a log cabin exterior. To set your day right... ask for Tiffany, she is a sweet dear with a twinkle in her eye. Tiffany has been there and is super attentive. She could be their secret weapon. All the workers there and servers deserve praise for being so friendly and jovial. All with great personalities! Lots of parking too. We own Thunder Ridge Lodge a get away cabin for couples in Cleveland GA....and we tell all of our great guests to go there and eat. And ask for Tiffany. They all say it was the best breakfast they've had and a great price. Far better than eating in Helen. We're going there now!

I'm particularly fond of all the varieties of Eggs Benedict- especially those with spinach or avocado. This place stars Tasty pancakes, French Toast tastes great too.

You walk in, grab a tray, and you've got options. You can go through the hot bar and get served right there, pay, and be on your way... or order off the menu, sit down, and they'll bring the food to you. Very simple and efficient. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, and there's also outdoor seating if you want it. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus, especially compared to the chaos you'll run into closer to Helen. Food wise, I always judge breakfast spots by the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit... and this one held up. The chicken was tender, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and overall it was a solid start. The surprise for me was the hashbrown casserole. It came out good, but once I added a little salt, the flavor really popped. Definitely worth getting. The pancakes were also done right... nice crispy edges with a soft, fluffy inside. That's exactly how pancakes should be. Menu wise, they've got everything you'd expect from a Southern breakfast spot... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, omelets, and even lunch style items like burgers and plate meals if you come later. They also have a Coca-Cola fountain, which is always a win. Service was friendly, especially for early morning, and the whole place just has that comfortable, old-school home cooking feel. There is also a drive thru if you don't feel like leaving your car. Overall, this is a great spot if you want a good breakfast without the crowds. Simple, tasty, and easy.

My wife and I have lived in Gainesville for over six years, and we have probably driven past…read moreQuillians Grill & Catering Co. hundreds of times on our way toward Cleveland. Every time we'd say, "One day we need to stop there." Well, we finally did, and we were so glad we did! For some reason, we always assumed this was mainly a steakhouse. It's definitely not. They have a big menu with plenty of different choices, plus daily specials that give you even more options. We started with the buffalo chicken tender bites with ranch. These were some of the most tender and juicy chicken tenders I've had. The buffalo sauce had a little kick without being overly spicy. My wife thought it had a little too much vinegar flavor, but I personally really enjoyed it, especially dipped in the ranch. Either way, that plate disappeared quickly. We also tried the fried ravioli. We order fried ravioli fairly often, and one of my complaints at some restaurants is that you get a lot of fried dough and very little filling. Not here. These actually had a good amount of cheese filling inside, and they were great dipped in the marinara sauce. For my meal, I ordered the prime rib cooked medium with cheese grits and mac & cheese. It also came with a roll and au jus. The prime rib was excellent. One of the things I really appreciated was how much actual meat I got. I've ordered prime rib at other places where a huge portion ends up being fat. This one had a little fat, of course, but most of that big piece was delicious, tender meat. I poured the au jus all over it and went to work. The cheese grits and mac & cheese were both great sides as well. My wife ordered the chicken and dressing platter with squash and potato salad, along with cornbread. It was a big plate of classic comfort food and she really enjoyed it. Then came dessert. My wife ordered the chocolate chip pumpkin cheesecake, and I ordered the lemon curd cheesecake. When I say that lemon curd cheesecake was one of the best cheesecakes I've had, I'm not exaggerating. It was fantastic. The lemon curd on top paired perfectly with the cheesecake. We also got to meet the owner, Denise, who was walking around checking on everyone. When she found out it was our first visit, she was genuinely excited to hear what we thought and made sure we had everything we needed. While talking about how good the desserts were, she told us that her daughter is behind all of the baked goodies up front. They had cheesecakes, cakes, brownies, cobblers, cookies and all kinds of other desserts that looked amazing. That's going to be dangerous on future visits! Our waitress, Olivia, was awesome as well. She was friendly, kept our drinks filled and checked on us throughout the meal without overdoing it. Great service from beginning to end, and plenty of Coca-Cola refills! The restaurant itself is much larger than it looks from the road. There are two indoor seating areas with comfortable tables and chairs, plus a very large outdoor patio. The inside has an older, rustic feel with lots of wood and darker lighting, which fits the building well. Good food, big portions, fair prices and a genuinely friendly team. After driving past Quillians for more than six years saying we'd eventually stop, we've officially corrected that mistake. Now we need to come back and start working our way through those daily specials. Definitely a GO for us, and we'll be back!

I've seen better being thrown in a pigpen. They had these little black round things that were harder than the tray they were laying in. I asked what they were and was told Salisbury steak and if you soak them in gravy on your plate they'll surely soften up some. The chicken tenders had to be picked up and gnawed on. The potatoes didn't taste instant or like real potatoes. They were watery and very bland. The puddle of creamed corn ran everywhere. Had no consistency and the bread peach cobbler was horrible. The taste was acceptable but the texture was like wet spur dough bread soaked in water. Had to pay $2 extra if you wanted a soda, then they didn't have coke. I got the sweet tea, they didn't have lemon but she offered to go cut me some. She never came back. Take your money and go to Golden Coral. This place makes Golden Coral fit for a King. It is simply nasty.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by an employee. She asked if we'd ever been there before. And being the tourists that we were, we told her that we hadn't. She explained that it was a cafeteria style and that we'd order with her and move down the line and pay. OK, cool. So, we ordered with her. But nothing got dished up. The orders went to the back to get made. Not a big deal. Just a little confusing. The other two members of my party ordered first and moved down the line but there was nobody at the register so they found a seat. By the time I made it down someone was there and we managed to get it figured out. The food took a minute but finally came out. There seemed to be some confusion in getting orders delivered but we eventually got our food. Again, not cafeteria style at all. The food was delivered to our table. All in all it was fine. The food was really pretty good. One the pricey side for what you get but that's everything in Helen. I feel like we might not have caught them on their best day. I'd return.
