But everything was very salty. I mean....very very salty killing the natural flavors of ingredients. I ordered a grilled fish but it came cold. I paid $36 for it.....very disappointed. However, my daughter's and husband's dishes were hot. We tried to get attention from our waitress but it was so hard. We called her several times but she kept walking away. The dessert was so pretty! Since we were full, we shared one dessert. I wish I could eat more different desserts... It was a little pricey for us. But for a special occasion, it's a good idea to visit this restaurant. But please mention not to use too much salt in meals.

Harvest Habersham is the best restaurant in the area. You need reservations. My review is a summary…read moreof the half a dozen times we have been there. We go here for birthdays, anniversaries, and we have been to a couple of wine dinners. I would like to stay this is five stars because sometimes you get the best thing you have ever eaten. Like the cheddar cornbread in the photos. It was so good. Also there was the time they had the pork chop. OMG. But my review is an average of several meals. Looking through photos here, last time I had a steak that was really good on one end on ok on the other. It's not exactly a crudités but the appetizer we had was good and honestly too big. The pickled vegetables were too sour for me to eat all that. The menu is different every day and you do not know in advance what it will be so good luck! There will usually be a couple things on the menu to satisfy most everyone. The restaurant itself is in what appears to be a remodeled old house. It is cozy but not tight or cramped. If you want to try the wine dinner see if you can get on the mailing list. It is wines paired with multiple courses. I have always enjoyed the food but again it is huge. I was so bloated after the last one because yes I could have stopped eating but the food was too good to not eat it.

My husband had the Smashburger with fries. Everything was delicious! My husband is a terrific chili maker and this chili at this place was on par! Really good. Not spicy. ( I got it without the jalapeños) perfectly seasoned! The burger was also well seasoned, and the meat itself had a good flavor. Very fresh. His crinkle cut fries were seasoned and were delicious! Reminded me of the seasoning that we would get on our fries when we lived in Germany. We were told that they buy their meat from a local butcher and they cut their own steaks. May have to come back another time and try one of those steaks!

They have parking across the street but you can't stay there to walk around town. This a nice spot to go for a meal.

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.

But when you're in Helen and bar hopping, you can't help but go in to check it out, and that's exactly what we did. I can't speak for the food, as we were only there for the beer and music, but overall it's a great spot to hang out in this little tourist town. Bartenders were great and the beer was cold. One of the bartenders also took a turn at karaoke, it's great to see people enjoy their jobs, and it made for a fun evening. Will definitely pop back in on our next trip. Karaoke Bartenders

What a disappointing pick for my last night in town. Looking for a spot that was open during a…read moreweekday and allowed pets, I picked Alpine Brew Deck as there weren't many options available on a Tuesday. I am glad they allow pets, and was thankful for a spot for my pup and I to eat. That was about all that was good about Alpine. I had to ask the server for a dog water bowl. They did have one available but unlike other restaurants nearby I had to ask. I ordered the cod and chips. The food came out hot at least, but was barely edible. I took one bite of the coleslaw and it tasted off. The fries were a weird doughy consistency inside and yet crunchy and brown on the outside. The fish was the only thing I ate and that is because I was hungry. It looked like it was pulled frozen out of a box and heated up. So sad this was the last meal in town after such a good trip otherwise.

It was a Tuesday night, which turned out to be wing night with wings that were a reasonable price. I also went for the fish and chips, which were fair. The wings were quite tasty, and they have a decent variety of sauce flavors to choose from which is a good thing. I also went for the street corn, which was excellent. We were sitting out on the porch, and the weather was good. Noise was kept to a minimum so we were able to talk without having to shout, which I consider to always be a good thing. The food was good, our wait staff were decent, and we were very happy with our experience. If we are in the area again, we would certainly return.

If you're looking for quick drinks with an outdoor setting that has great people watching than this would be a fun place to start the night or after an extremely drunken night where the taste of food doesn't matter much.
