The staff were friendly and welcoming, the dining area clean and comfortable. We'd definitely recommend Splendid Events, and if we're back in LaGrange we'll remember to stop in to try more from the menu.

Not a negative but you get what you pay for. A little pricey but well worth the quality. Certainly on our list for our next town visit.

I had the social escape and if you like sweet drinks it was "delicious"! The environment was diverse. The only thing that was disappointment was the bowling lanes were out of service that was the main reason we visited this location. However, it was karaoke night which is alway entertaining. I will visit again and I hope the bowling lanes will be working then.

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.

We found Eddie Mae's by simply searching for local breakfast locations on our phones. There wasn't much around, so we figured we'd give this place a try. We were not disappointed! I failed to take a photo of the menu, so going off memory here... I think I ordered the Western Omelette with hash browns & a biscuit. The omelette was HUGE & the biscuit melted in your mouth. I look leftovers home & would definitely order again! The boys both had the Grand Slam I believe with meat, eggs, grits (added cheese) & pancakes - it also provided a large portion and abundant flavor! The staff was super friendly & hospitable. They work very hard! The restaurant is a little outdated, but it feels like authentic & well-loved. Next time, we'll try to get there before 11am to try their breakfast buffet - it was all lunch items by time we arrived.

We ordered mussels to share. 12 good sized mussels, flavorful broth, very garlicky. Lukewarm. Server didn't bring bowls for shells or proper small forks.Three small pieces of plain toasted French bread slices to sop up broth- not enough, no flavor. I ordered the duck and asked specifically for medium well with crispy skin. Came medium rare with soggy skin under a raspberry purée. I couldn't eat it, but didn't bother sending it back. If they can't even try to get it right the first time, why bother. My husband ate mine and I ate his pork chop- dry, no flavor. They didn't have any decaf coffee and server offered to brew a pot of regular coffee. For gods sake get a keurig. Creme brûlée was tasteless. Overall a below than average performance for a "fine dining" establishment. Won't go back.
