    When I was a young man, I went to the Smith House in Dahlonega. Food was great; there would be…read morelarge tables - eight folks to a table. There could be a large family at each table, or folks unknown to you might join you for the meal. It was one of my favorites in north Georgia. Forty (plus) years and the layout has changed - two-tops and four -tops are the table sizes now - but the food is still good. I do miss the big tables; kinda reminded me of relaxed church dinners.

    I've heard about this place. Had good reviews from the past. We were in Dahlonega but didn't choose…read morethis as the destination eatery- Hungry and we were walking by. You pay upfront to a cashier. That should have been the tipoff. They get the money upfront before you've had a bite. Food is served family style. It's a set menu. Fried chicken was ok. We had light and dark. The chicken breast was tough. Unable to finish. Better fried chicken @ Publix for a fraction of the price. Fried steak looked unappetizing- we didn't touch it. All the sides, fried okra, mashed potatoes that were suspiciously bland ( possibly instant but no flavor) Green beans were canned. Not fresh. Creamed corn, could be canned tasted like a sweet mess of porridge. Tea was included in the price. The atmosphere was dark and bleak. Institutional green on the walls, dark green curtains.You go down a flight of stairs and enter a large room that reminded me of my Aunts senior residence home. It also had a very unpleasant odor. They offered dessert. I declined. My friend had strawberry shortcake. She didn't finish. I paid 25.00 with tax for the unappetizing meal. It's definitely a tourist trap and caters to visitors that don't know any better. For reference I live in the South for 37 years so I definitely know the difference between mediocre food and the real thing ( ingredients made from scratch) I'm comparing it to the OK Cafe which actually has good Southern food if that what's your after. I'd never recommend and never return - A waste of 25.00!
