    Meat omelette with biscuit
    Rachel M.

    This place is what you should think of when you think of a small town diner! The friendliest of staff, great homestyle food, and home like atmosphere. Definitely want to try more things.

    Unfortunately, the mac & cheese was dry
    Sarah S.

    Very middling experience overall. The food was just okay- extremely dry mac & cheese, largely flavorless batter for the fish. I asked our waitress if I could substitute the hush puppies on my platter for anything else; toast, biscuit, whatever. She told me that wasn't possible- fair enough. However, the table just behind me ordered the same thing with the same waitress just a few minutes later and was able to swap their hush puppies out for hash browns with no issue. I found that strange. Then when our bill came, prices were several dollars higher than what was listed on the menu. One of our meals had the price rectified. For the other, we were told that it was $3 to upgrade from a plain baked potato to a loaded baked potato- a price not listed on the menu. It seems a little ridiculous to pay an unlisted $3 for some cheese and bacon when the regular potato is free with the meal. The price somehow came out to around $40 for two people, and the food was not great.

    Really enjoyed the chicken fried steak--tender and flavorful! Gravy was good, and the hash browns and eggs were on target (though I prefer my hash browns less shredded, if that makes sense??). My wife thought the shrimp and grits were excellent. Take a look at the accompanying photo -- doesn't the dish look great?? Throw in excellent service and reasonable prices -- well done! Cheers! RS

    Pretty full on a Sunday at like 1030 but didn't take too long to get seated. Food comes out quick. The biscuits are very good and a little sweet. Chicken and waffles very good too, nice flavor on the chicken. Cinnamon roll super yummy.

    Located a few minutes outside of Dahlonega Square, easy to locate with plenty of parking. My impression is that this family owned business is where the locals dine. We enjoyed breakfast here the other day and will be stopping back here today for breakfast We had an awesome server, extremely welcoming and attentive. Showed that Southern Charm ! Our food arrived hot and fresh and full of flavor ! The Country Fried Steak with Sausage Gravy was absolutely the best ! Along with home fries and a fresh baked biscuit was fire My wife's breakfast was on the money and the bacon done as requested ... She dined here several months ago for lunch which was great she said ! The dining area was clean, tables wiped off and clean, the decor made you feel at home. Highly recommend if your in the area to stop here for breakfast and/or lunch

    Four shirt stacks, a veggie omelette, and a plate with eggs and bacon

    At the conclusion of our hiking trip centered around Vogel State Park, our eldest hiker requested Pancakes after our check out this fine Saturday morning. I found this well reviewed establishment on Friday afternoon and everyone was onboard. Parking was a bit tight so I opted for an end cap allowing adequate space. We arrived right in the sweet spot (11am on a Saturday) for seating our party of six upon arrival. Coffees ordered upon seating and our orders were taken with delivery of beverages. The waiting area began filling up within 5-10 minutes. Total bill plus tip was $78 for six meals. Portions were excellent and all the short stack pancake fans had no clue how someone could eat more than two. I enjoyed the veggie omelette with home fried potatoes and asked for hot sauce to go with my huge omelette. Everyone else cleared their plates and we departed south headed back to our community. Awesome service with filling meals. That should cover us all til the afternoon.

    We are here for the weekend and wanted to try places we wouldn't be able to at home. We drove passed Foothill Grill and it looked so busy. We figured if it's busy, it must be good. Parking is a pain!!! There are several big trucks and it's a tight squeeze. Be patient, spots open up pretty quickly. Everything was delicious. Service was really good and quick. Homey atmosphere. We will probably go back tomorrow to try some more items on the menu!

    This seems like the local go-to diner. It was packed when we went and every time we drove past over the weekend. Beware, the parking lot can be a disaster if they're full. The food was ok. My wife had the shrimp and grits. She loved them. I had the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken was tough and like rubber. It's got the small town diner ambiance. The service was great. You can pay with an app. The price was reasonable.

This time we came after hiking all day and sat outside with our dogs. Ambiance-touristy Irish pub. It's a big place that still tries to be Irish-ish. They fail but it's a worthwhile effort and people seem to like it. One issue with the design-it's a huge place but they have 2-single person bathrooms-one next to the bar and one on the second floor. I don't even understand how you get a building permit with that occupancy and so few bathrooms. My wife and I each got a burger, sub veggie patty. They are getting 2 stars for the fact they don't upcharge for the vegan patty. Everyone upcharges for a veggie burger, so this is an impressive give-a-way to customers. However, I added mushrooms and roasted red peppers, which added $2 each, and gluten free sandwich bread, which was a $5 upcharge. First, those veggies should not be a $2 upcharge each. That's obnoxious. Your menu burgers have toppings and are cheaper than a plain burger with 2 veggies. But, I am not taking stars away for the upcharge. I saw them, I accepted them. My problem is that with those changes, this was a $25 burger at an Irish pub in north GA and it tasted like a $5 burger from an Irish pub in north GA. It was dry, unseasoned, and very bland. You charged me $5 for 2 slices of bread from a loaf that costs $7.99 retail. A red pepper is $0.75 cents, maybe, retail, and for a couple teaspoons you charged me $2. Who knows what mushrooms cost, but the point is, for two toppings and sub 2 slices of sandwich bread, you charged me for a high-end steakhouse burger and served me a terrible backyard grill burger. On top of that, I ordered a whiskey (knob creek) on the rocks. On my check was a $2 rocks charge. So...you charged me $2 for ice? It makes no sense. It's the same amount of liquor. When I asked the server about it, she said because they pour an extra 2 ounces in. Obviously she lied because she had no clue what she was talking about. First, why would adding ice equal and extra 2 ounces? Maybe if I asked for an up martini or something, but I am adding volume, so why would you also add liquor? Second, my whiskey was $13 and a restaurant shot is 1, maybe 1.5 ounces. Do you really mean to tell me you gave me an extra 2 shots, maybe an extra 1.33 shots of a $13 liquor for $2 only because I asked for ice? I'm not an idiot. So, poor food, lying service, and unreasonable upcharges. I'm not coming back
