I think I missed reviewing the first time I went. Good enough to go back and take my kid. I like a good breakfast. The people and the location make it better. Got waffle with bacon and eggs. My kid got French toast with bacon and grits. These are our favorite foods, and they're done just right. Take time to visit the shops around the area! read more

The X-Factor has delicious foods on their menu and I tried several. The offer breakfast and lunch but only open until 3pm. The servers were extremely polite and helpful when asking about menu items. Our food was delivered to our table in a timely manner and again by a friendly staff member. The restaurant has a country store feel with many sports memorabilia items throughout its indoor dining and bar area. read more

Located in the historic downtown Kennesaw a wonderful restaurant with exceptionally good service. Our waitress was a very sweet and hard-working person that made our experience far above average. Great prices and great food. I had the fish tacos, which ended up being more like black bean tacos, but everything else was extra extraordinary. Haha the tacos were too. Toccoa Georgia read more

The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. It had a nice comfortable feeling. We had breakfast there and the food was delicious and cooked to perfection. We will go back the next time we are in Toccoa. read more

Food was OK. Service was good. My issue is there were homeless addicts on the 2 benches in front of the property - one looking at my truck. I did not feel comfortable at all in there. read more

We had a party of 6 + a toddler during the lunch rush. The service was good although we had to wait a while but it was worth it. Our food arrived hot and delicious: 2 people had the country fried steak and 3 ladies had the chicken panini, Cole slaw, mashed potatoes, all which were very good. While we waited, several of us walked through the connected antique mall. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience - we will definitely come back! read more

This place AMAZING. I get the chicken panini with chicken and cheese, ranch, and fries. People are nice they have so much to choose amazing 5 stars read more

Now open at 7:00am /11:00am Mon-Sat for breakfast. Best breakfast in town. Beats our other favorite places. Still serving lunch 11:00am-3:00pm. Y'all are missing a great breakfast. Best food and atmosphere h read more

The X-Factor Grill & Cornerstone Restaurant - Great atmosphere, clean tables - New American Near Me - Toccoa, Georgia

We love X factor! White County Burger is my go to. Add bacon. Wife's favorite is the chicken fried chicken . My girls love the corn dogs. Cool atmosphere. Great location in downtown Toccoa. Owner is great too. read more

Stopped here with a bigger group after visiting Currahee Mountain. With few options in the area, we opted for the xfactor. I was a bit skeptical based on some reviews but the atmosphere and wait staff was very nice so my hopes improved. The good. I got a "pulled pork plate" with a Ceasars side salad for $10. The restaurant is clean and inviting and the waitress was very nice. The Ceasars salad was pretty good. The bad. The food left a LOT to be desired. The pulled pork looked like it came from a can, all the sides were very basic. I asked others in the group what they thought and the consensus was the same. Nothing special. Most said 2-3 stars. Based on atmosphere and prices alone it would be 4 stars, but the food was disappointing all around so overall I give it 3 stars. read more

Quaint hometown restaurant with great food and service. We had the country fried steak and mashed potatoes and it delish!! The steak was tender and the potatoes were real not boxed. read more

We went to the X-Factor after a visit around Toccoa for the museum and some in our group did a hike. It had pretty classic diner/cafe vibes and I think the best word to describe the whole experience is 'average'. We had a somewhat large group, 8 people plus a baby, and the seating was a little confusing (this was lunch during the week in the holiday season), but we seated ourselves and it took the servers a while to bring us menus. I had the chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was good, but nothing to write home about. I think others in the group had similar opinions, nothing was awful but it was just another lunch. The staff was also not as friendly as I expected (a different experience from other reviewers, I guess), but if I'm ever back in Toccoa I'll probably give another restaurant a try. read more

The service was very slow. We were served our drinks quickly but then it was a solid 15 before our order was taken. I had the Cuban and it wasn't even warm. The cheese was not at all melted, the pork was cut in cubes and there was very little. Overall a poor experience. My pickle spear looked like some little kid had already been gnawing on it. read more

The X-Factor Grill & Cornerstone Restaurant - Cuban and fried okra - New American Near Me - Toccoa, Georgia

Good food, absolutely superb fried pickles. The chicken tenders with fries/okra was great along with the Turkey panini with potato salad. However, they were playing on the TV news about AI technology and it really scared me. I don't want to leave. Would recommend to bring your hunger but not your fears of world domination. read more

The X-Factor Grill & Cornerstone Restaurant - Fried pickles - New American Near Me - Toccoa, Georgia

We have been going there for 3-4 years during the summer/fall. Our past few visits have been less than ideal. I brought a party of 8 recently and the food was barely warm, even the greens. This was everyone's experience. So that was 3 times that we had subpar meals. The service is always great, but the last time should have been noticed by the waitress. We will, regrettably be looking for somewhere else to dine in Toccoa. read more

Went yesterday . I ordered veggie panini . It was on a soft white roll , apparently pressed to look like Panini . You need coarse bread for panini . Hubby had advertised shrimp po boy . Shrimp looked like baby shrimp , heavily breaded . Yuck read more

I love this place. It's in an old building in downtown Toccoa. Next door there's a great antique mall and you can even get there through the restaurant. The fried green tomato are da' bomb!!! read more

Oh my Lord!!! Not only did we avoid Atlanta traffic by scooting off the interstate, we found this restaurant (and antique store). Ok, we ALWAYS say, let's explore someplace new on our way home for out of town, we'll this time hubby fell asleep and I took the road less well, never, traveled. Luckily, X-factor (which I hate to admit I originally thought was going to be one of those "gentleman's steakhouse" places) is a fantabulous, local, diner that had wonderful (and fully-clothed) staff. Hubby had the Rueben with fries and I had the Hawaiian panini (ham, provolone, mustard on grilled Hawaiian bread) with fried pickles. Absolutely delicious! Definitely a must try and then wander around the 3 levels of the antique store. We didn't get dessert but I would drive the 2 hours just to go back and wander around town. read more

This place is a ok place, the grilled cheeses are BAD don't eat that, the service is ok I guess, all they do is ask for your order like normal fast food people. Yeah it's a ok place, 3.7 out of 5! :) read more

Flew into Taccoa, asked one of the guys on the airfield where to eat and he recommended X-factor Grill. We shared a cup of Italian wedding soup. It was very flavorful but I wished there were more meatballs in the cup. I got the special salad which I requested to have all spinach, bleu cheese crumbles and bleu cheese dressing instead of mixed greens, feta cheese and strawberry vinegarette dressing. The kitchen absolutely got it right. My salad was great. My husband got the fish tacos. They were not bad but we have had better. The real gem of the meal was dessert-banana pudding and apple pie with caramel ice cream. The apple pie was great but the banana pudding was fabulous! Our waitress actually makes the banana pudding herself and shared her secrets to making it. Service was very attentive and friend. I would definitely come back and recommend this restaurant. read more

We came here because it had the best Yelp reviews in town, and since our experience didn't quite match the reviews, I'd be willing to come back and give it another try. Overall it seemed like just another lunch spot with nothing being all that special, hence only 3 stars. The food was very much average and so was the service. It took us quite a while to be served on a not super busy weekday lunch period. Their beer selection consists of random bottles in a fridge, which in itself is totally ok (can actually be quite fun since you can sometimes have a greater selection), but the staff didn't have any clue what beers they had or how many, so we ended up having to lean over the bar and read beer labels through the fridge door. Just added to the overall averageness of the place. read more

Philly cheese steak is not good. Waitress did not know what kind of fish was in the tacos and didn't care to find out. Will look elsewhere for food in Toccoa read more

I having been going to a bookstore nearby and have always wanted to try this place out. Finally I had some time today. First of all the folks who work here are friendly, helpful and efficient. The place is laid back and casual. I got a good feeling about this place and it was correct. I ordered the grilled rueben with a side of fries and a sweet tea. Not once did my glass get low. The sandwich was tasty, the fries looked home-made. Nothing frozen here. Overall it was great and I will be back read more

Stopped in on a very busy Friday night. There wasn't enough wait staff to serve the restaurant full of customers. We had prime rib and pulled pork plate. The steak was cold but otherwise tasty. Live music gave the place a good vibe. If I were going to be in town longer I might give this place another chance based on the other reviews. read more

Great local flavor and wonderful staff. They are always willing to modify a dish for us. The food is always fresh, fast and hot! Fresh is important to us. We've tried a lot of their menu items and nothing has disappointed. Love this place! read more

Ex Factory has a nice atmosphere as is located in historic building and gives a feel of nostalgia. The food is always excellent. I recommend trying the grape salad. there isn't anything on the menu that isn't excellent. They make good coffee. It would be good to check their hours before going to their location as they are closed on some days. read more

Always a great place to grab a quick bite for lunch. Its a Tuesday staple for me and my friend. Not a fan of the Gumbo soup, its served too often. Put Broccoli and Cheese or the Tomato soup on as a regular menu item, they are great! And the White County burger is fantastic! read more

Great Burgers and other menu items are also great. Its a great atmosphere and good place to have dinner with friends and family.

My husband and I were in town and decided to try this place because of the great reviews. We were pleasantly pleased with the level of service we received. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. We ordered mozzarella sticks Buffalo wings okra cheese grits salmon and the Cuban sandwich. We didn't get pics of all the food but trust me. It was very delicious. We will definitely eat here again if we're ever in the area and we highly recommend that you try it as well. read more

This was interesting. Super interesting place with antiques attached, large and clean. Service was super fast and very friendly. We chose it because reviews said clean and kinda average on food expectations and that's about right. Almost diner like with paninis . They work hard to make people happy & we value that effort and they were open on a Monday when no one else was. Five stars for the hard work by the folks working there as we observed an sweet staff full of good people. (X-Factor is a unique name and logo for a restaurant you walk into and all I could think of was the comic book ;) but it's memorable:) read more

Today was our first visit to Toccoa. As mentioned in other reviews, there's not a lot going on after about 3 or 4 pm downtown. There are many businesses, but they close late in the afternoon. The X-Factor has an interesting menu. We ordered fried green tomatoes and burgers. All of the food was very good. The menu has a variety of entrees, including catfish, chicken, steak, salads, and so forth. They have a broad selection of beers at very reasonable prices. I have an interest in lighting and it's something I notice in restaurants. The X-Factor would look more upscale if they replaced the old fluorescent store fixtures on the ceiling. The bare bulbs look like they are left over from when the building was the 5 & 10 Cent Store. We ran across the Ritz Theatre and we are looking forward to attending one of the events. The schedule is on the Ritz website https://www.ritztheatretoccoa.com/ read more

Awesome food and service . Quick stop on ride home from vacation in the mountains and this was perfect especially having an antique shop attached . read more

Its fine. Its ok. Its not terrible. Its food that is hovering around the $10 range without a drink. My table had spaghetti, a chicken salad sandwich and chicken fingers... if you asked any of us how our meal was while we were still eating, we would have said "its fine". The waitress was nice, so there's that. If you try it or don't... its fine. read more

The X-Factor Grill & Cornerstone Restaurant - Food... its ok - New American Near Me - Toccoa, Georgia

I went to the Toccoa Harvest Festival today. We tried out this restaurant. Two of the people in my party ordered a Cuban sandwich, which was ok. I ordered a bratwurst. Someone needs to tell the cook how to cook /make a bratwurst, you can get a better hot dog at a child's football game concession stand. Now the fried green tomatoes were good. I might go back to this restaurant in the future, just won' t order the bratwurst! read more

The food is fabulous and antiques are next door if you want to shop a bit while waiting. It's one of the few places open in downtown Toccoa.

I ordered a Ruben sandwich because of the recommendation of our hosts. It came out cold and the bread was damp. The service was hot and miss. I had to ask different waitresses for refills of water. The atmosphere was casual and inviting. read more

Good food. Good service. Bring cash [4% upcharge for using a card] Street parking right outside door.

Good food and local owners. Unique restaurant/shopping option. Great spot in downtown.
