One of the two signs in ladies' restroom

Food is great and staff is nice. I had the Southwest Club, it was good. If I were going to get it again, I would ask that they press the sandwich so the bread would be toasted. The bread was nice and soft, but after seeing my Daughter-in-Law's pressed sandwich, I wish I had mine pressed as well. Spouse and son got a burger and a Ruben and split them. They liked them both. The sweet tea is brewed there and very good, my pancreas was screaming but I managed to suppress the racket as I had my fill of their sweet tea. After the meal my spouse, son and his wife got the pumpkin spice shakes and a chocolate shake. Our pancreases could have harmonized as they were surely screaming by that time. The place was clean and tidy. They also have a drive thru.

The food here was delicious! My husband had the ridiculous burger which is huge! The burgers were seasoned well and taste like a homemade burger. The fried pickles were good but the onions rings were too big and not crispy enough for me. The place is decorated well and the service was fast and friendly!

PARKING - Plenty of parking and easy access from main road ATMOSPHERE -.Loved the inside set up and decor. It was not cheesy or gimicky and appreciated the non chain atmosphere. I really enjoyed the walk up counter to order and the drink station for easy refills without having to wait. STAFF - Their was only one employee at the counter but was super friendly and we never felt rushed or a burden. She really seemed to love her job and took pride in working here and it showed. She came to check on us multiple times and handled every customer the same. Kudos to who ever this is! FOOD - The burgers were pretty good! I would give a 4 out of 5 for sure if not 4.5. I loved the bun and the taste was pretty good. Having corn nuggets on the menu was a nice surprise! PRICE - I felt the price was fair but would have loved a meal deal to include side and drink without having to order each item ala carte. THE GOOD The service was top notch! Loved the burger bun and the different options to choose from besides just a regular burger. I would definitely go back and it was a 1.5 hour drive for us.

The dessert  selection looks scrumptious!

#1 Service- Hailey was so helpful! #2 The Blacksmith coffee options delicious was able to Gf and dairy free it, and was yummy. I had a hot forged and my husband had a cold forged would give them 5 stars but no Gf bread options at this time. We took our drinks to go and they have drive thru, but the dining area has a little atmosphere and the menu looks comfort food indulgence worthy. Parking was easy and conveniently located off 400.

I've worked in this area over a year now and never once stopped. That was wasted time I should have been stopped in and and got something. This place was amazing. The sandwich and drink selection was astonishing. It's a must if your in the area after shopping at the nearby outlet.

Over food is good. Coffee was just of and service was just average. But would definitely come back for breakfast or lunch!

Outstanding food and service. Found this place on the way to the movies decided to stop on and kill time. Great idea the food was cooked to perfection medium rare, all the condiments on it were in great proportion. Had the Bacon Cheddar, double patty on this one. Had to do the Guy Fieri hunch to eat this one. Wife had the Chili cheese fries, spot on. Chili had a little kick to them and good temperature was hot. Order a small order of fries and that will serve two people, a basket of fries will feed four people. Great find in Dawsonville, keep up the great work and looking forward to check out the breakfast menu.

The fried foods here are really good: chicken livers, country fried steak, catfish, etc. This is my…read morego-to place for chicken livers; they're crunchy outside, tender inside, and tasty, served with white gravy if you ask for it. (I forgot to ask for it once, and the waitress rolled her eyes when she had to go back to the kitchen for something she should've asked about in the first place). A friend swears by the beef liver with onions, also. But the sides and desserts could use a little work. The side salad is nothing special (and they bring it with the rest of your meal). The mac 'n' cheese is soupy stuff people make with a mix. The desserts also seem to be short-cut things using mixes: I couldn't even eat the piece of cake I had last time; after one taste, the bitter fake icing completely turned me off. The cobblers taste like they use canned fruit fillings. And the bread pudding had a sickly sweet canned sauce poured over it; it was inedible. I don't expect gourmet meals from a "home cooking" restaurant, but I do expect the food to be a step above being poured out of a can or made with a mix. Also, just a note: it's rude to ask the person at the table who gets dessert free what they want and ignore the other people at the table. You could at least say, "Dessert doesn't come with your meal, but would you like to order a dessert?" The good sides here, again, are the fried things: fried okra, fried green tomatoes, etc. I suppose these are the things that keep me coming back and keep my rating of this restaurant at a 4. Most of the servers are great as well. Despite my criticism of some of the sides and the desserts, it's still one of my favorite places to eat in Dawsonville.

Arrived in late afternoon in hopes of beating dinner crowd. Didn't work…read more The food was mucho delicious and the wait staff was friendly, patient and efficient. The only problems were: -Patrons packed into every available inch. Our row of chairs was touching the backs of the chairs behind us. No room to adjust seating. -No room to store coats and packages except keep them in our laps or try to put on floor (not a good choice) -Heavy traffic all around us. Definitely not an intimate setting but great if one didn't want to communicate with their guest. -EXTREAMLY NOISY!!!! Couldn't even converse with those at my table -Food was delicious and seemed authentic. Served rapidly. Was not able to enjoy cocktail because meal arrived so quickly. -Female server was very fast with refills, take home boxes, and our check. She appeared tired! -Very little waiting space at the front area. Probably won't be a problem in warmer weather and wait outside. -Would have been nice to have a menu while waiting to decide on drinks and food choices. -Menus large in size and hard to juggle i0n a large party Will probably go back due to quality of food. Will not go on a peak eating time. -No room for wheelchairs and maneuvering hard due to crowd. Plenty of parking because restaurant was upside mall area.

Thursday night is Trivia night at Friend's. Crowded and hard to find a parking spot in this small…read morestrip center. Most of the trivia folks were at the bar so we were able to get a table. Service was quick and our order was served relatively quick base on the crowd size. We have eaten here a number of times - nerves disappointed. The onion rings are a favorite, always crisp and not greasy. Everything we have tried on the menu has been good. No real food negatives to report. I aways have a hard time reviewing "Ambiance" - it's a bar - with great food that is two or three steps ahead of typical bar food. Check their online menu here on Yelp, I think you can find something that will interest your taste. Oh, spend some time looking up at the ceiling tiles.

Monday Wings Special is taking us back to Friends Dawson Grill. When in the Lake Lanier area and…read moreyou hunger for a "friendly" place, then you can find it here. That is why we are back. The great service and friendly attention from Laurel is on an upper level. We wanted that smoky flavor of the wings paired with either Sweet Heat or Honey Garlic for a fine chewy bite. But first we start with a bountiful Wedge Salad to offset the upcoming meaty wings. I do prefer the Lemon Pepper or even the Old Bay dry rubs for a satisfying plumpy wing. One other order we really liked is the Dad's Fish-n-Chips with crispy Tots. This plate is a reminder of pub fish in Liverpool. An Ice cold draft Beer does wonders to the palate and "to go" boxes indicated we could not do any more extras. A great Wings Monday special experience at Friends for sure.
