My mom had never been here and we had been once before but what I could remember it was a small, fun, quaint little place off the beaten path with good steaks and seafood. We hadn't eaten all day and were starving. Plus it's an hour drive to get here. We could tell they were crowded from the parking lot but oh well. It's a Friday evening at 7 pm. They took our name down but didn't give a time estimate. We sat outside under the tornado wind fans and picked up some drinks from the bar. Coke for me, tea for mom and a beer for my husband. After about 30 min, we had a table ready. The chef show of smoking outside was getting nauseating. This is where things went south. Our hostess gave us our silverware and menus annnddd left. Empty drinks sat on the table while ice just kept melting. My husband was able to flag someone down to get a drink but she ran off before asking me or my mom. Our waitress finally came to the table and took our appetizer order. She thankfully came back to get our food orders but still no drinks. Now, have you ever heard of island time? Well thats what were on except the music was extremely loud, tables were hooping and hollering and we were stuck sitting in our wicker chairs. The appetizer took about an hour to come out. The fried pickle batter slipped off like a batter stealing base. And some parts of the batter were still undercooked. After that, I noticed the table next to us kept waiting for their bill. They had asked several times. They finally went to the bar after approximately 45 min. My mom started to ask if they forgot us. We still had no drinks by the way. I was willing to drop a $20 and leave. We stayed. Our food came out around 9:30 pm. The French dip so was good but waiting 2 hours good. Im not so sure. We were trying to get to go boxes but ended up having to go to the bar for the boxes and to pay. They were already clearing the table by the time we got back and we had left our stuff there so we could also use the restroom. We just quickly packed our food and went outside to use the bathroom. They women's is a one stall. Not the best. Not the worst. It did its job. Will we be back? Hard to say. 3 hours for food, almost no service and no refills. read more

If you're not a local, then it is kind of hard to figure out how to get into the restaurant. We found our way in and was seated at a table that was very unlevel, so we asked to be moved well, every table was unlevel and wobbly. Waitress took our order and it didn't take long at all to get out appetizer which was very good (the fried mushrooms). I ordered the $48.00 16oz prime rib and my husband ordered the burger. The burger was very good, but the prime rib was not a 16oz and had absolutely no flavor and was full of fat. I asked if they had creamy horseradish and was told no but they could give me some mayo and i could mix them together so I decided that would be okay had no idea they would charge me an extra .80 for a small thing of mayo. I also might add that the $48.00 prime rib only came with potatoes and they charged me $3.95 extra for a house salad to go with it. When you pay that much, I would think the salad would come with it. The waitress never refilled our drinks or asked if we would like dessert. She just handed my husband the ticket and told us to pay at the bar. The only reason I gave a 2-star rating was for the mushrooms they were excellent! We had dinner a few nights before at The Red Stag Tavern and it was well worth our hard-earned money. I had a ribeye with Caesar salad and a sweet potato it was $38.00 and amazing. read more

Coming back visiting Vidalia, with a great surprise to find the original tree house opening back up after Hurricane Halene. We were met with the same southern hospitality that kept bringing me back to the Treehouse with every home visit. Our favorite item, the fried mushrooms were as delicious as we remembered. The Jimmy Burger was juicy and the right amount of rare. Looking forward to making to traditional stop again on my future Vidalia visits! read more

TreeHouse Grill - Onion pettles, fried mushrooms, jammers - American Near Me - Vidalia, Georgia

I had high expectations after seeing the pictures and reading the reviews. Visiting from out of town and TreeHouse sounded like the perfect place to grab dinner. The gps took me to an empty parking lot with what appeared to be vacant buildings, had I not seen other people parking and heading down I probable would not have stopped. I was greeted by a beautiful stray cat in the parking lot so I figured he must enjoy the food. I got there early and it was packed in about 15 minutes. It took a bit to get a drink but the servers did seem to be hustling. The cheese sticks were very good but my prime rib dip was tasteless. No one came back to see if my order was ok or I would've asked for some horseradish sauce. I tried A1 but gave up and went back and finished the cheese sticks. After sitting there for quite some time I finally caught a servers attention to ask for the bill and was told to walk up to the counter to pay. It seems like a great local place, people knew each other, the food was just a real disappointment I hope the stray cat enjoyed the prime rib better than I did! read more

If I could give this place 7 stars I would. The atmosphere of the "Treehouse" is unlike any other. Small town friendly faces everytime you go. The staff is very friendly and always welcoming. The food is some of the best you can find in town! The steak sandwiche and mahi taco hits just right! It's our go to at least once a week! read more

See all

Food is awesome and the waitress were real attentive we sat inside but there a few families outside !

Waited a long time for food while the cooks were out smoking. I'm a patient person but we were the last to leave after tables that sat after us left way before us read more

Cool casual bar-ish spot in the glamorous Vidalia GA. Gets v busy on Fri Sat nights for good reason due to to its appealing locale. Calabash shrimp was v tender, even for 'deep fried'. Most food fried btw, delicately and not excessively. Gots many shrimp dishes , all u can think of.. jammers, Poboy's, stir fried, .. .. I hads maybe the best lightly fried, tender, crispy, & lightly seasoned calamari at this local Vidalia stop. Highly recommend if into squids. Staff are v welcoming, busy, & attentive, Looking fwd to my next pass thru Vidalia read more

This place sux since Helene... the seafood is awful.. fast food is better than this..... what happened???

We have been staying in Vidalia while my husband is here for work. I knew about this place from when I youngest son played travel ball here some but never had a chance to try it so we finally decided to go for it. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't very busy. We got a table immediately. Our waitress was friendly. I had the catfish fingers and they were awesome. Best catfish I've had in a while. Hushpuppies were so good I asked for an extra order. We will be going back again. I would highly recommend. read more

Kool location nice people below average food and overpriced . Very disappointed! $37 steak greasy pan fried, plastic plate,1/2" thick . Philly cheese steak so salty could not eat. Prime rib over cooked. read more

I almost turned around because the out front it looks like an abandoned steak house - this is not the restaurant! Off to the side and around back is a walk way to the woods, where the restaurant lies. It's a bar/restaurant that better at its food than the atmosphere. I was well pleased by the service and the food. I had the steak ribeye that had good taste and was cooked exactly like I ordered. It arrived fast. I would eat here any day of the week. read more

This place was delicious! The customer service was on point and perfect from the start. We ordered appetizers which were all so delicious and they filled us up enough that by the time we got our main entrees we were still full from the apps. This place is a gem and the environment was nice and family friendly. They were busy the entire time but never once did we feel forgotten. Just have a little patience. read more

Cool little place in the trees that definitely feels like a treehouse. They have some of the best food in town, especially the fried shrimp! It's usually very busy and pretty crowded, but that tells you that the food is very good! We try to eat here every time we're in Vidalia! read more

This place has been a perennial favorite of locals for more than a few years, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. Don't get me wrong, none of the food is a disaster by a long stretch, but there is something about being served mushrooms, battered on Styrofoam plates that takes a bit away from the experience. And that Styrofoam experience will be part and parcel of virtually everything you order in the place. There is real potential here, hopefully by the time you get around to checking it out, they might have invested a few dollars in actual stoneware and silverware that floats somewhat above the "Spork" of airline fame read more

Giving 4 stars only because it seems a bit overpriced but the food is amazing. The setting in the woods is pretty neat too.

Tonight we visited for the first time and it was a let down. The Onion Peddles appetizer was good but could have been a crispier. I had the catfish strips with coleslaw. It was awful. The strips, like the onion peddles, could have been crispier. I saw in a previous review about how salty the food was. The batter was so salty, I couldn't finish it. I love coleslaw- it came in two little plastic togo cups. Not the best presentation. It tasted like restaurant supply coleslaw. My partner had the prime rib sandwich, and the meat was good and not fatty. The homemade potato chips were nothing special and were not creole flavored, as advertised. In general, the Treehouse is just ok. read more

We just moved to GA. My husband and I went there for our 25th anniversary. We had NO IDEA it was a bar by the name of the place. We were already there so we decided to sit down and eat. The food was disgusting. It was SO GREASY. We didn't even finish. We normally bring leftovers home to our 3 dogs. With all that grease I wouldn't even feed it to my dogs. Never again. read more

We had a party of 16 that ended up increasing to 21 and Kelby took very good care of us. She was busy and I'm sure ready to scream, but she never showed it. She always had a smile on her face no matter what. The food was great and service was outstanding. Look out Kelby, We will be back the next time we are in town! read more

Such a cool place. It's less like a tree house and more like a building off the ground, in a ravine. TIP Friday was a madhouse. There was a line at the door before they opened at 530p so get there early and order right away if you can. Service gets a little slow and it's a popular place. You can park in the lot off the street and walk down the stairs or drive Around back. It's a little tough to find in the trees. Happy people. Great atmosphere as you can literally feel the building sway w the wind. The steaks are ok but the prime rib was off the chain. 4 stars due to slower service and missing food item that was requested and never delivered but all in all you should stop here while traveling through. #quirckyfind read more

yesterday I had the worst experience of my life. after a long day I came to what used to be my favorite restaurant. I ordered a Togo order at 8pm a waitress said they would text me when it would be ready. 30 minutes later someone sent ME a text that the food was ready. I came inside and they only gave the appetizers and no other food I ordered. we waited inside for them to "finish cooking" our food. the waitresses were dancing and singing/ partying but did not bring our food. I kept asking where the food was and what was taking so long but they said they had no idea. we waited all the way until 5 minutes before closing. we saw people that got there far after us get their food yet not us? after 2 hours of waiting we asked if we could get a discount. the women rolled her eyes and said the boss left and she could do nothing about it. I have worked in the food service industry and know anyone could have done something about this madness. we had to pay FULL PRICE for the food. when we opened the food it was completely soggy and cold. the service and food was terrible. my whole family lives in Vidalia and we will NEVER EVER come back here again. read more

It is so hard to find a decent steak unless you cook it yourself. My husband and I decided to give this place a try because somewhere I read about their prime rib being amazing. It did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing! I had the salmon which was also delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant! Very cool vibe and staff is super friendly and accommodating. read more

What a cool spot! You pull up, I went on a Wednesday which wasn't too busy, and I wasn't sure I was in the right spot... But there's a big sign out front and I parked and walked down the boardwalk to the "shack" on stilts. I was greeted by the super down to earth owner Michael. He proceeded to give me a hard time (in the best way possible) about ordering something to drink since I was by myself and sat at the bar and was told (by Michael) that their friend shrimp were the locals favorite choice. So I ordered a plate of twelve fried shrimp with a side salad and a blue moon in draft. The beer was nice and cold, served with a fresh cut orange slice... And before I can get too far into my beer the buzzer sounded and out came some HOT fresh fried shrimp lightly battered and crispy! They we're juicy, hot and the tartar sauce helped it go down even easier... The salad was fresh and crisp but a bit plain with just lettuce and tomato, it could use a bit of sprucing up... There were a couple of small yet tasty hush puppies that came along with it. And the atmosphere of this place is a riot, the owner is a riot and really enjoys running the place in a very low key, come as you are kinda attitude. Friday nights are apparently the busy days that is standing room only. And careful, they are only open for dinner starting at 5:30pm. read more

Neat place. Atmosphere laid back and a little funky. Food was great and made to order. Waitress was very attentive. I was a little shocked at the low rating because we were pleased and will return. read more

The Tree House has excellent service and food. Atmosphere feels like home. The couple that run the place are friendly and run around like teenagers. The only reason it's not a 5 rating was small portions on the scallops but cooked perfectly. read more

It was ok! Kind of loud. Needs a much better beer and liquor selection. Beer tap was kinda flat. Over priced

This place was exactly what I was expecting based on reviews. I was in town with co-workers, and we went here for dinner. The servers were very friendly, and the food was good. For the prices, the portions seemed to be very inconsistent (sandwiches were good, shrimp plate was large, scallop plate seemed small). The atmosphere was fun - nestled in the trees, you could hang out on the deck and have drinks. I would definitely return on a night for drinks with a group of friends. read more

I came here with my wife passing thru. It seemed like it would be a novel experience to eat in a house built at tree top levels. It was just a house in the woods surrounded by trees at ground level, not tree top. Kudos to the marketing pics tricking us. We turned around and ate somewhere else so I can't speak to the food or service. read more

First time I've been here. I had heard a lot about it from some of my friends that had come down here to work at the power plant. Really good food and it's a cool place tucked back in some woods. read more

The shrimp on the poboy was over cooked, the Tree burger tasted more like a meatloaf not a burger the fries on both meals were cold

We were in town on Friday night 5/17/2019 for a family members wedding, which by the way this place was catering the rehearsal dinner for so that's how we heard of them. Service was terrible. Not once did the waitress refill a drink glass, and the gratuity was automatically added to a party of 5 or more. I ordered the Prime Rib Dip sandwich with fries. The sandwich was cold. Sent it back to the kitchen and it was STILL served cold AGAIN!!!!!(Luke warm at best) Didn't need the Au'juice since the bun was completely soggy. The fries were completely soggy. Everyone in our party agreed that their food was barely warm except for the two children with us and their food was so hot that mom had to make them wait a while before eating. One of our party ordered beer. When the waitress came back with it, she brought the wrong kind and when it was pointed out she chugged the whole bottle of beer before our very eyes before going back for the correct beer. When checking out, she had no idea what anyone had ordered and we had to tell her what we had. I'm told it's a great place to eat normally. Just make sure the regular staff isn't off on a catering event before you order. Apparently when the cats away, the mice will play. read more

Good food and friendly staff. Will become a regular place to eat. The Bang Bang shrimp is delicious. I have not had anything that was a disappointment. Mr. Parsons was very accommodating when asked to add an item to the menu. read more

This restaurant has great food however they are never adequately staffed. We have made multiple trips to enjoy the food here, but the service is awful. On two occasions in the last two months, my family has left this establishment after having waited 45+ minutes on food. read more

The atmosphere is good and the food is great. My wife loves the fried scallops and the prime rib dip is delicious.

The Tree House is literally a tree house-- tucked away in the trees off of the highway. So that's kind of fun. The restaurant itself is quite dark and musty. I get that it's a bar, but it smells like stale cigarette smoke. Not very appetizing. The whole place, including the restrooms, could use a thorough cleaning. As for the food... meh. I've had the salmon and crab cakes, and they were just OK. We also tried the fried pickles, but they were disappointing. Too doughy and greasy. Others in our group had the prime rib sandwich. It was OK, but they've had better. The service is adequate; however, we will probably not go here again because of the food. read more

We got here at 6:40, and ordered shortly after arriving. Small party of 2, I ordered a salad with my meal and the wait began. At 7:50, we were told it'll be just a few more minutes. After 8pm still no salad and still no food. At 8:10 we asked the same waitress how much longer, she said oh 20 mins. I said you said 20 mins ago just a few mins, she said we have a large party what am I supposed to do about it? I said give my check for my drink. She ran back to the kitchen and our food miraculously was ready. The food we had it took maybe 5-10 mins to cook and plate. I waitressed for 6 years, I know how it is when crowded but if you can't handle crowds don't book large parties. 1 1/2 hour wait was ridiculous for a handful of shrimp, a thrown together salad, a handful of scallops and cold boxed potatoes. read more

I used to frequent this place whenever I was in town. This was many years ago and with the former owners. It was a great place to hang out, shoot pool and bs with old friends and the new ones we made there. It took a while to find the original place as it was a pretty well kept secret from out-of-towners. We only managed to find it as it started getting dark and people were getting out of their cars and walking off into the woods. We eventually followed and it started some great times while in town. We brought many a guest there after that. Like I said, many years have passed, the owners sold it and it went from being a quaint place to something a bit more. Some things should never change. My hats off to my copilot, Scott P., who spent many nights either dragging me out or me dragging him out of the bars in South Georgia after just one to many. Rock out, with your $@?" out! Sean-O read more

We have been here twice in the last nine months and sat for ten minutes without anyone even acknowledging us when we arrived let alone come over to bring menus. It used to be good but something happened to change it, maybe ownership, dunno, we won't be back again.... read more

Fried zucchini and shrimp and catfish would have been really good except they severely over salted them. But otherwise a great place to hang out.. Really great environment. Waitress definitely over-promised, saying everything was excellent, but it was all so salty. But still a cool environment. Just way salty food. Tooooooo much salt. Unfortunate. Waitresses were sort of attendant, sort of not. read more

Good fried food at good prices. Nothing sexy but a great place to hangout with friends or family.
