Craft beer is $8.99, domestics are $3.89, and they have PBR on draft for $3.50, nice! They also carry a great selection of 500 ml bottle German beer. I had to get an Ayinger Dunkel and followed that up with a PBR, which gave me a nice happy buzz while we shopped around. Their weekly bar menu has a special for each day and the items range between $10-$12, which isn't bad at all. We didn't order any food but the food that was coming out looked great. Staff were friendly and efficient; I would definitely return again if I was ever back in Helen. One thing to note is this bar is not very big so it can fill up quick during festivals and on the weekend, they do have some tables out on the patio and I'm sure the party can expand out to the lot; regardless, Betty's Porch is a great little hangout spot in Helen and I recommend them.

Hidden Gem Alert…read more Some places spend millions trying to manufacture "authentic." The Open Door at Alley's Ol' Store apparently skipped that meeting and just kept being authentic. The building looks exactly like what you'd hope to stumble across while wandering the North Georgia mountains. Rustic. Colorful. Cozy. The kind of place that makes you instinctively slow down because you know there's probably something interesting inside. Parking is a bit of a scavenger hunt, but that's part of the adventure. If you're expecting a six-level parking garage with valet service, you've made several wrong turns. The staff immediately made us feel like we'd wandered into Papaw's store and the grandkids were helping out for the afternoon. Two young ladies were running the place, one at the register and one making sandwiches. They weren't reciting a corporate script or trying to upsell me a rewards program. They were just genuinely friendly people who actually seemed happy we stopped in. Imagine that. This isn't a restaurant pretending to be a country store. It is a country store. There's no fancy dining room either. You can eat on the little front porch if it's available, but we grabbed our sandwiches and walked across the street to the riverside park. Honestly, I can't think of many lunches that end with eating beside a mountain river and making a few casts with a fishing rod before heading down the road. That's hard to beat. Now let's talk sandwiches. Three of us ordered the Harvest. Presentation? Maybe a 7 out of 10. Nobody is arranging edible flowers with tweezers back there. It's toasted store-bought bread filled with ingredients that simply belong together. Sometimes food doesn't need to perform gymnastics. It just needs to taste good. And it did. Every bite reminded me that somewhere along the way we've confused "artisan presentation" with "good cooking." The Harvest isn't trying to become internet famous. It's just quietly being delicious. My brother ordered the meatloaf sandwich, and if he wasn't already family, I probably would've stolen half of it. He declared it fantastic with exactly the right amount of condiments. The grandkids inhaled their grilled cheese and ham & cheese without a single negotiation, which every parent knows is basically a Michelin star. One thing that really caught my attention was the steady parade of locals coming in for takeout. That's the kind of review you can't fake. Locals vote with their wallets every day, and this place clearly keeps getting elected. Here's another tip: don't skip the neighboring art gallery. My daughter wandered in and came back smiling. The manager wasn't just selling artwork. She was telling stories. She explained the history of the area, how it shaped the artists, and why certain pieces existed. You could tell she genuinely loved what she was talking about. That's becoming a rare commodity these days. By the time we left, I realized something. The Open Door doesn't have the polish of a big destination restaurant. It doesn't need dramatic plating, twelve-word menu descriptions, or foam strategically placed with tweezers. It has something much harder to create. Character. If you're driving through Lakemont, call ahead if you're in a hurry. If you're not, browse the store, visit the gallery, grab a sandwich, walk across to the river, and stay awhile. Some places feed your stomach. Places like this feed your trip. That's the definition of a hidden gem.

The cinnamon roll was tasty - not too sweet, not too dry, not too moist - but it would have been better if it had been served warm for eat in diners. We ordered a variety of breakfast dishes, including corn beef hash (too salty even for me), calf liver (overcooked and dry), egg plate, and quiche. The egg part of the quiche was good but the crust basically uncooked. Each dish came with a biscuit, which had a great tang but interesting texture more like cornbread or coarse cake than flaky biscuit. The most annoying thing is that our food took 30-45 minutes to come out even though were were the only ones there? With no communication of the wait. They didn't even bring out the premade cinnamon roll as an appetizer until I asked. We were so hangry and were met with disappointing taste to boot.

My wife told me that the owner evidently went to a well thought of culinary school. We ordered their turkey sandwich and a turkey salad two waters and a bag of chips. Bill came to $33. The salad would not even qualify for a small size and had very little turkey. The sandwich which is supposed to be a sub roll is about 5 to 6 inches long with a couple of slices of salted turkey. I ordered no dressing but for some reason, the bottom of the sub was drenched THE ONLY REASON I AM GIVING IT THREE STARS IS BECAUSE THE STAFF WERE QUITE LOVELY. Unless they change their pride in their food and the only uses a wonderful education I would say save your money and keep this voice a secret God I hope they do better cause I love to see small businesses do well

Blazer's has grown from a tiny little shack into a fairly established eatery for this small town…read more Their wings are always really good, but we usually get their chicken sandwich and the chicken salad. I've also tried their catfish plate and fried mushrooms. In a nutshell, I'd say just stick to the wings. I believe, that's what they focus on anyway, but I write this review mostly because they've slowly digressed their quality from decent to not bad to "maybe, we should try elsewhere?" Could just be this location though. The Hartwell location I find to be a lot better with nicer staff. I actually haven't had the food in awhile, but a salad I'd gotten today--granted I'm not going here to eat healthy by far-- had some of the driest, burnt chicken I'd ever had.. Felt like they probably just gave us the throw away bits to cut cost. To top it off, the staff here has never been very friendly, in general, and rather dry themselves or just a "go die in a hole" attitude, but I guess who can blame them with being trapped in a deep fried box all day. It just wouldn't hurt to actually seem like you give a damn. We've been pretty frequent customers to this blazers due to my mother being a die hard for chicken and for the most part it wasn't half bad. Wait time on food is decent. I definitely don't expect fast food fast and have never ever minded the wait time. They give discounts to military I.D. holders and students. I also generally ignore the attitude of the staff, though some of the other places around this town could probably do for a lesson in friendliness or general customer service. It makes me wonder if it's just some weird misunderstanding from customer to employee over the years that makes them so yuck to deal with. Though then again... there are some really nice people at some of these restaurants too. Customers are the pits, definitely, I get it, but not all of us are bad, no? Anyways, I give them a three since I still think their chicken sandwich is pretty good. But if it ever comes back as dry as the catfish and the chicken on the salad, then oh well. P.S. I do really like their tea! A++ Store bought or not, still good. Edit: Owner says the tea is homemade! Big win for me! :)
