    Kids cheeseburger
    Nick R.

    The food and service is typically fantastic. Our last visit on 12/28/25 definitely wasn't the best visit. Our food took much longer than normal. My daughter ordered a kids cheeseburger and the size of the patty was pretty small and very overcooked. The woman who brought our food wasn't pleasant and pretty much just dropped the food in front of us. Our waitress, a different woman, was pleasant and personable. If this had been our first visit, we probably wouldn't return. Since we have been to this location upwards of 10-15 times, we will be back and just assume it was one bad visit. I'll give this location 4 stars because all the previous visits were fine.

    Drunken Philly with Beer Cheese and a side of onion rings

    The food and service were great! Georgia was our server and she was very attentive. She checked on us regularly and made sure our glasses were never empty. We'll be back!

    Cute spot close to home. The Deviled eggs were everything! So yummy. Infact, everything fried here is exceptional. My Cheesesteak was really lacking in any flavor. It also didn't have Beer Cheese on it. It really just tasted like grease. Disappointed. The burgers had delicious ingredients but again, the meat itself had no flavor. It's almost like because they fry everything amazingly they don't add seasoning? I would go back but it is a bit over priced and I was charged a "service fee". No idea why.

    Half rack of ribs.
    Meredith G.

    Sports bar vibe. Stopped in for lunch with daughter. I had the half rack of ribs. The sauce was added after cooking, so I had to eat with a fork but that easy as they were very tender and tasty. My sides were Cole slaw and potato salad, house made and very good. My daughter had the fish and chips which also came with Cole slaw. The fish was perfectly cooked and the french fries were amazing! The service was good.

    Bourbon hamburger and onion rings
    Kim P.

    Found this place on yelp. On our way to Highlands. Great place!! Wonderful waitress. Great food. Good atmosphere. We came to see Braselton after seeing a magazine article about all the bars and restaurants. We were hoping for a quaint downtown historic area but settled at Jacks despite mediocre reviews. We were not disappointed. We have eaten a lot of hamburgers- this is one of the best!!! We had the bourbon and cola with onion rings!!! Fantastic flavor. Cooked perfectly. Loved the grilled onions. And the pickle slices. Great job and the wait staff really hustles to serve you promptly.

    Mediterranean Salmon
    Alan P.

    Nice bar and grill near Buford. After our sales meeting at my company's main office a few of us came here for lunch. Very nice facility. Great bar area with a lot of TVs. Since it was lunch we didn't have drinks, but the drink selection looked good. Great appetizers: definitely get the fried pimento cheese and deviled eggs. Very good. I had the Mediterranean Salmon as my main course and it was really good as well. Staff was great. I highly recommend for lunch or dinner if you are nearby.

    We wrapped up a volunteer event nearby and this location was recommended. It is mostly an upscale bar, IMO. Huge space inside! Very large screen TV for the big game. Coveted outdoor area. Seating isn't very comfortable so be prepared. The food here is amazing. I had the Nashville Hot, which came with Nashville Hot on top of pimento Mac n cheese and a waffle. Perfect amount of hot, salty and sweet. Highly recommend! I washed it down with the Sycamore Super Fresh wheat ale, which meshed well together. It is darker in here but lots of room to spread out. Certainly recommend this place for brunch, hands down! Our server was awesome as well.

This was my fourth time here, and I always bring someone new and everyone always leaves impressed. We ordered the Schweinehaxe, a traditional German dish, and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. It's definitely something I always go for when I visit because it's a must-try here. One of my friends was seriously impressed. We also had the mashed potatoes, which were very tasty, and one of my friends ordered the meatloaf and loved it. Overall, the food is very authentic, with plenty of traditional German options to choose from. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. There was even live music, which made the experience even better. Another highlight is the view, the restaurant sits right by the river, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place. It's definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to and want to bring new people to.

Beer loved it. There's a ton of variety on the menu, and everything we tried delivered. That kind of consistency is rare. Service was over-the-top good. Attentive, friendly, and added to the whole experience. Price felt exactly right for a date night spot not cheap, but definitely worth it for the quality. Couldn't be happier with this one. I'll absolutely be back. Overall: Easy 5/5 no hesitation.

You go in and it's a little bit dark and they have TV so you can watch sports but it's nothing fancy but it gets straight to the point. You'll come in and most likely sit at the bar which is where a lot of the action is. You park outside and have your own parking lot so you have to worry about that but it's very friendly and all the bartenders are really friendly as well. I had been one time and they acted like they were trying to get to know me and I appreciate it that customer service. I just came in for a quick meal to get my macros together, so I got the brussel sprouts and a chicken wrap. The chicken wrap was pretty good. Nothing crazy or nothing amazing or not. Nothing special, but it was still pretty good. The fries were steak fries, cooked pretty well. The brussel sprouts were good.

They host Team Trivia every Thursday at 8pm which can be difficult for a younger group, but is still fun. The ambiance of the bar is great. It's definitely a little limited on seating but that allows the bar to have a cozy vibe and really feel like you're in a British Pub. The bar also has some golf arcade games if trivia isn't your thing. Staffing can sometimes be a little light, but when staying for a while and playing trivia it isn't too noticeable. Most of the food is typical bar food and for all my previous visits it was decent but nothing special. However, on my most recent visit I tried their signature meatloaf and it was a level above all the other food and something I will definitely get again. Overall, I think The King George Tavern provides an excellent experience for a trivia night with friends, and I'll continue going back.

The owners, Mark and Jennifer have made it their mission from the beginning to only buy from local and regional farmers. All other materials, such as bottles, etc. are 100% American-made. To date, they have named and dedicated two whiskies to the men and women who have served this country by sea and by land, Sea Duty and Sword and Saber. The third, for those who have served by air, will be released early next year. It has also been their goal to provide a space for folks to gather, meet their neighbors, and enjoy life. The Hive Pub, which is part of the distillery offers seasonal cocktails, mocktails, and an assortment of other beverages. The pub hosts a number of events from a monthly supper club that highlights the talents of local chefs, to music festivals and parties. Finally, their other passion lies in helping to provide habitat and food to those that help feed us, pollinators. Several of the whiskies use honey in the fermentation process which adds a floral essence to their whiskies. The pub is dog and family-friendly, and everyone is welcome.
