We got there a few minutes after they opened and got sat immediately. There were roses on the table from Valentine's Day the night before and I loved that! We each chose a fun cocktail and they came out quickly and were delicious. The pimento cheese dip was interesting; I wouldn't get it again, but we were starving and ate it. The stars of the show were the smoked trout panini and the brisket melt. Both were so yummy! So was the Gouda cheese grits! Amazing service, great food. What more could you ask for? read more

We come here quite often and I can say we have never been let down. This time we came on a Saturday around 2pm so it was a little bit of an off schedule time which worked out for us. The server was on it and we never wanted for anything. We tried some of their seasonal adult beverages and even had the bartender come out and suggest some of her favorite old fashioned recipes. We had raw oyster and they were nice size and just what we were looking for. We had a pasta dish that used bow tie noodles, steak and cheese. I was surprised at how good it was. It was a perfect day out so we were able to take advantage of the outdoor patio. Again highly recommend Yahola if you have never been. read more

This place was amazing! We got there around 5:40 on a Saturday night and the place was packed out with people waiting outside. When we checked in they told us it would be about 40 mins but it turned out we only had to wait around 20 mins. My wife ordered a drink and said it was delicious and strong. We also had some hot honey smoked wings and they were amazing! Service was great. Everyone worked as a team. Different people would bring your food or top off your drinks. We had the shrimp and grits, brisket sandwich and the blackened chicken. Everything was amazing! The Mac and cheese wasn't the greatest but everything else was some of the best I've ever had! It was a little pricey, but rightly so. You get what you pay for and we sure got a lot! Thank you so much Yahola Creek!!! This will definitely be one of our favorite places to eat! Wonderful experience! read more

Indian Springs is a beautiful place. This is a nice little restaurant to eat at and then enjoy the park and shopping. Good food, just limited menu. read more

Our first time visit. The wait for seating was long, however, close to what we were predicted upon by host. A local bluegrass festival had recently ended. Wife had blackened salmon with Gouda grits and green beans. She reports excellent temperatures, flavors, and textures. Exactly as should be. I had the ribeye with Gouda grits and mashed potatoes. The order of medium rare was simply perfect; the Gouda grits were perfect, the mashed potatoes had a touch too much salt, but wasn't bad at all. Our server, Emily kept all glasses full without our asking, and she checked on us *just enough*, without being annoying. I will return. read more

Great place to go and relax and have a really nice meal. I personally like the Strawberry Steak Salad and the Brisket Sandwich. All of the sides are delicious. They also have a big cocktail bar for the spirit drinkers. read more

Saturday, arrived around 5:30. Place was busy, had a 10 minute wait to get seated. A special event was taking place outside which later moved inside after 6 pm. The restaurant has a rustic appearance and appeared clean. We ordered adult beverages which were on the small side. We definitely have had better elsewhere. My gf ordered the blackened shrimp, with salad and Mac n cheese, while I settled for blackened salmon with salad and vegetable of the day being green beans. Salads arrive served on salad plates. They were good but small. So then we waited, waited and waited for the meal. People at an adjacent table that came in after us got their meals before us. This always aggravates me. The main portion of our meals were fine but the side dishes were small. The meal ended up pricey for what we got. Sadly, I left hungry and made a sandwich when I got home. read more

This is 100% my favorite restaurant in the world! Hands down. We go every week! Best Salmon Ever! The owners are 3 incredible ladies who LOVE people and have the most amazing FRESH food! We never miss a week here. It's by far the best food!! And atmosphere. Love it. If I had a "Cheers" this is my place!! read more

We have been at Yahola Creek a few times and the food, service and ambience is consistent. We had a party of 10 today, and everybody thoroughly enjoyed their meal. My wife claims that they truly have the best grits in the south which they Infuse with Gouda cheese. Their specials are truly special and I had a Tomahawk Pork chop With Marsala sauce which was epic!! This little place in the country ( Flovila GA) is always busy for a reason and worth the trip for sure. Enjoy read more

The service and the food were superb. We had the steak, potatoes, and greens as well the hamburger and Gouda grits!! We'll be back!

This spot is right next to a really fun garden. We stopped here on our way home from Helen and it hit the spot. Everything was fantastic!! Strawberry bruschetta was everything I dreamed of and my salmon was perfectly cooked with some amazing mashed potatoes. My fiancé got a steak that he dove into so I didn't get a picture of it and it was fantastic as well. If this is near you, you need to go! read more

Mother's Day, RESERVATIONS ONLY. We've been waiting for over an hour. Pour planning on restaurants part. Should not make reservations 15 minutes apart. Waiting with 3 year old autistic child. Not fun. Not sure if we will be able to wait much longer. read more

Did I say OYSTERS! My ancient DNA has walrus in it I'm sure! Had the most delish grilled oysters. Never had more tender grilled fellas before! A great treat here in mid-GA. Service was very attentive in a very countrified way. We were to two generations back before dessert, just kidding. Very warm, friendly folks. Menu is simple and simply delicious. Main room has great rustic furniture but on the noisy side. We sat in another space not as rustic but still nice and much quieter. I'm think in' I need to be a regular....just to keep to oyster population in check! Cap'n Jim, CAPT USCG Ret. read more

We actually would have never came here if we didn't go to Dauset trail! We went to dauset so that we could see the animals with our little girl. We had planned on just driving back home when we got on Yelp to find out this place was near by. My neighbor always talked about how good this place was, so naturally we had to try while we were in the area. It was around lunch time on a Saturday afternoon and we were a little weary due to how sparse the crowd was, but we decided to go in anyways. The staff was very friendly and we were seated immediately. I got a shrimp po-boy and my wife got shrimp and grits. We didn't think much of the seafood because well.. it's the middle of GA, but wow were we surprised! The food was amazing! Even our daughter, who doesnt care for shrinp, enjoyed some of it. They also had deals on some alcohol, so naturally I had to partake. The best part about this restaurant is that there is a botanical garden and kids playground right outside! If you've never ventured off to Flovila, now is your chance to enjoy the small town with a big heart read more

The food here and the staff are over the top fantastic. The High Falls State Park workers recommended this restaurant and it was wonderful. Oysters were delicious. The Halibut was plump and juicy and the pork chop was cooked perfectly Hats off to this restaurant. If you are near make time to stop and enjoy. Jennifer was our waitress and she was super kind. The atmosphere was pleasant and enjoyable. Nancy ---May 29, 2025 read more

After being intrigued by the specials menu my son and I decided to give Yahola a try. I will say we were not disappointed. The beer was ice cold and the manhattan was fantastic. I had the brisket melt which was very flavorful and way too big. I took half of it home. My son had the shrimp and grits which were fantastic. We also tried the palmetto cheese appetizer which was awesome. The service was spot on and they seem to turn tables pretty quickly. We will definitely be back. read more

Have been seeing their postings online and can't wait to get back and try the new specials. I love they have live music and the dining and bar area are beautiful. read more

I was really pleased at finding this little gem while we were traveling for a wedding. Fresh food, incredibly friendly service and delicious food. I'd eat here once a week if I lived in town. We went back twice and the servers already knew our names. Love. read more

Table next to us had the brisket melt. That looked awesome. Next time Im gettin that. He said it was good and he was admiring my steak. read more

Awesome upscale restaurant with friendly staff. Has a nice bar and unique furnishings. I had the shrimp and grits and it was very good. Shrimp were grilled with just the right amount of seasoning. Gouda grits were tasty and Gouda was not overpowering. Definitely would recommend and go again when in the area read more

The food was amazing! And so was the server! We just happened to come across this place while traveling, but we would definitely come back!

Went hiking at High Falls in Jackson Georgia (just a little south of Griffin; absolutely beautiful by the way) and stopped at Yahola Creek restaurant for lunch. It was really FANTASTIC... Great food (most of us had the trout panini which was ridiculously good! My spouse had the brisket melt and said it had a little too much fat, but otherwise it was awesome as well)... Decent portions, rustic, quaint ambiance, good music, beautiful woodwork and decor, chill vibe, reasonable prices, and excellent service... The area that the restaurant is in has a few little antique shops/boutiques, a general store, a bed and breakfast, it was all really cute with a lot of small town charm... read more

My daughter took me to Yahola for my birthday. It was the first visit for both of us. The music was way too loud. We could not converse. We could only hear about 50 percent of what the waitress was saying. My daughter barely touched her meal and got a big to go box and I ate fast so we could get the heck out of there. Not pleasant or relaxing at all. If you want to have a conversation during your meal this is NOT the place, read more

I went here with a friend , I have lived in this area for a while now and had no idea Yahola Creek was here, very interesting restaurant the decor is just right. The staff are very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The appetizers was bread and pimento cheese dip which was delicious followed by steaks and all the trimmings, it was a great experience I will return. read more

The food is delicious. My husband loves the fact that he can get wild game prepared just right, if they have it available. If not, he will get a great steak. I love this place and would recommend it for anyone. Can be a bit loud, but that means everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves. We go every chance we get. Check and make sure it's open. read more

Food and drink on point. Service always good. Bartender knows the business! Cool setting. Go with a few friends. Small but great atmosphere

I have been wanting to go to Yahola creek for over a year and finally made it today .

This will be my number one pick from now on. You have to try it out ! thank you Jackie and Eddie Hanes read more

Yahola Creek - Citrus martini. - Seafood Near Me - Flovilla, Georgia

First time visit. Waited half an hour to be seated. Was seated at a high top table for dinner. Immediately uncomfortable, as the table was surrounded by lots of people loitering around the bar as they waited for their tables. People were standing close enough that their spittle would land in my food when talking and my "chair" (really more of a stump from a tree that was ridiculously heavy, huge, and severely uncomfortable- would not pull up to the table far enough because of its depth) kept getting bumped as we were eating our appetizers. Asked to be moved to a table immediately after ordering appetizers, then again after ordering steak and lobster. We had only been seated for about fifteen minutes total. Was told that moving wouldn't be possible because other parties were larger than ours, so we needed to stay at the high top. Others around us of same party size were seated at tables. No one ever asked us if we minded sitting in the bar at a high top. First sign that our comfort wasn't considered at all. Pleaded patiently and kindly to be moved. Refused. Asked for a manager's consideration. Denied. Paid for our appetizers and left. This establishment 100% puts profits before people. It was all about seating the most people possible... no matter the experience they are providing. Our meal was going to cost over $200 when all was said and done. A manager never even came to speak to us. Server apologized profusely, manager didn't give a damn, as we were walking out when she exited the kitchen and she made no attempt to speak with us. We will never return. We were so disappointed, because we had heard nice things about this place and its food. They are thriving now because they have no competition. There are no other restaurants like them anywhere nearby. Let one open who actually cares about the experience they are providing their guests as much as they care about the food, and Yahola Creek will be history. I am the granddaughter of a renowned Atlanta restauranteur with over fifty years in the business at the time of his passing. I worked in his restaurants for much of my life. I understand the challenges of crowds, seating, timing, etc. His establishments lasted as long as they did because he cared about the PEOPLE first. The result? Huge profits, lifelong patrons. Best of luck to Yahola Creek from a girl who will just keep making the drive to Houstons, Marcel, and all the other places with enough experience and concern to know what it takes to make things work, even when it's tough. People first! It's the people who will make you the profits! read more

There is a lovely Rose Garden our back with pristine walking paths and busts and statues dotting it. We ordered from the specials menu a starter of fish dip and were not into it, the waitress was very sweet and took it back and suggested the pimento cheese dip instead and it was delicious! For our entrees we went with another special prosciutto fettuccine along with the shrimp and grits. Both were delicious. Great service, great food, lovely garden. Will definitely return! read more

Out of multiple beers (pog basement, Miller lite, etc) Out of several items on menu including salmon and several specials and to top it off they were out of "to go boxes". Service was fine but food was ok at best and the salads are a few pieces of lettuce and onions and that's about it. Not sure how you run out of multiple items on a Saturday night. Our poor server must have gotten tired of apologizing for being out of items. Appears to be a lack of good management. We won't return as we are "1 and done" read more

This is a special little gem. Food was gourmet. Ambience was great. This service was the best I have had in a very long. The ever changing menu is a fabulous concept and you can be sure everything is fresh and made in house. Highly recommend if you are anywhere close read more

What a fantastic restaurant! We had been visiting some local attractions in the area, and looked for a restaurant to eat at. This restaurant had great reviews, and we decided to drive 25 minutes to go check it out. What we discovered was a great restaurant and small town with a lot of history. The menu was interesting and the food was perfect. And Amy was an excellent server! Look forward to coming back again sometime. read more
