50 Best American Restaurants near Ball Ground

“Such a FUN place!! Great cheeseburger!! Friendly staff.“

“Wonderful Shepard's Pie! Highly recommend it.“

“The manager, Wanda- I think was her name- acted with grace and kindness when a condescending, entitled “customer” (more descriptive words could be used to describe him) was completely out of line in the middle of a busy Saturday morning when there were obviously multiple people being trained. We love coming to this Waffle House and will continue to do so. The food and atmosphere are always what you’d expect.“

“Had breakfast here this morning and extremely polite and the quality is 5 ⭐️“

“If you want the best ribeye you have ever had go to Home restaurant at Big Canoe !!! This place is just about the best restaurant and the Atlanta North Georgia area. I went to Ruth’s Chris last week. I went to capital Grille two weeks ago. I have been too many other similar restaurants in the area. Nothing compares to Home restaurant.“

“We just visited this unique restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed our meals of the pecan crusted trout and glazed salmon. Both were served with amazing grits and grilled asparagus. Our terrific server, Katie, was very helpful in explaining different menu items and cocktails, and regularly checked with us and shared with us the history of the building. So glad we discovered this gem!“

“Great food and greeted with a smile every time. Friendly service that really makes you feel like family.“

“First time visit, definitely not our last. Food was well presented and absolutely delicious. Save room for dessert.“

“These boiled Peanuts are no joke.. Found him on TikTok and discovered he was right down the road from me.. Do yourself a favor and get some Cajunz with extra carrots“

“Great food. But… they have tripled the prices. Last time I ate here with my family of four it was less than $50. Today same dinner was $87!!! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Same items ordered.“

“Riverstone Corner Bistro is fantastic! The fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and southern fried chicken (steak and pork chops too!) are all amazing. Prices are fair, portions are big, and the rooftop bar is a great bonus with live music Thursday to Sunday. Service is always friendly and attentive—definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“My husband loves this place. I like it. I really wish breakfast was served longer. I have had their breakfast and it was good. Nothing fancy. Coffee is really weak and pretty much no flavor, but it was really hot.

Came back and had lunch. I had the club.... gross!!!! I was excited because they mix a BLT with chicken salad. The chicken salad tasted like sweet pickles. That's literally all I could taste. Meanwhile, my husband had one of the best burgers ever. So, this place doesn't have many good healthy options, but if your in the mood for a burger I guess this is your place. The battered fries were different and not necessarily in a bad way. I'm sure I'll be back, but I'll avoid the chicken salad and coffee.

The other review with the picture of the club.... mine didn't look like that. Maybe try the chicken salad before committing to it?“

“Wonderful food and service. The specials and desserts are to die for. Highly recommend!“

“I had an excellent experience at the new restaurant in the neighborhood! Emma was the best server—attentive and friendly, making our visit even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, particularly the fried chicken and vodka bolognese. Both dishes were delicious and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be going back. We're lucky to have such a great place nearby!“

“My favorite fried chicken in canton!

Friendly and terrific staff!
And all the food is wonderful!
And the price is better than you find at most places these days!
Can’t go wrong, highly recommended!“

“Always clean and the food is great. They grow their food and live stock. Everything is so delicious. Try the frozen custard you won't regret it.

Parking: They are busy at lunch and at times on the weekend. The staff can keep up though.“

“This place is the best. My mom and I come all the time. We get egg salad and chicken salad sandwiches and they are our favorite. My mom raves about the potato salad. In the past we have also tried the burger. The place is very casual. Indoor/outdoor dining. The food is SO good.“

“Ate at Mary’s on Wednesday, joining two friends for a catch-up lunch. The atmosphere was home-like, no-one rushed us, and service was quick and friendly. I tried the turkey provolone on cranberry-walnut bread. WONDERFUL!! Sweet tea… oh, and coconut cake - some eaten there and the rest carried home. Yum! Take my recommendation, drop by for breakfast, brunch or lunch. ENJOY!!!“

“Great food, relaxed atmosphere, great service, great staff, excellent prices. Just an all around enjoyable experience every time we've visited.“

“Delighted to see that this restaurant is now under new management. Enjoyed the food very much. Staff were friendly and attentive. It was so good to see that Patrick is still there, he rocks! Emily was our server and provided top-notch service. We noticed there has been some changes to the menu and I’m sure we can look forward to seeing more new improvements along with live music on Friday and Saturday very soon. Highly recommend it!“

“This venue is the PERFECT backdrop for a Fall Lake Wedding. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and I loved taking photos here! The possibilities are endless! The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and that's always extremely helpful as a wedding photographer! This is definitely one of my top favorite wedding venues in Georgia!“

“New place for me . It was okay !? Some of the food was really good but some was bland and didn't have any taste. Personal preference, the sweet tea wasn't sweet enough and the coffee wasn't fresh but wasn't old either. They had flavored creamer though which was awesome!“

“I had Lola’s meatloaf and while it wasn’t quite like my dear old mother’s the portions were just as large and please don’t tell her, but it tasted even better. At 6’5” 380lbs I’m a big boy with a big appetite but with two giant slices of baked meatloaf perfectly seasoned with a nice grilled crust, garlic toast, mashed potatoes and brown gravy along with a side of delicious fried honey drizzled brussel sprouts I was full as a tic…errrr…. or I’ll just say full, and it was just $17.00 for all of it. I was there for a weekday lunch. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. The food was great along with the service. I would definitely go again and writing this has made me hungry so where’s that Sidelines supper menu.“

“Was there yesterday lunch time. Whoever Bruce is is a RUDE person. They were 4-5 people short. Heather was working her tail off. The manager didnt take any orders at first. When you have the bar for drinks, multiple 6, 8 and more tables you can only go so fast. Plus the kitchen was running out of food. To go go orders, she was swamped while the female blonde manage just stood around talking. She apologized, acknowledged people and was doing her very best. Maybe the guy night manager should do Sundays. Heather was excellent!!“

“29 of us ate lunch at Queenie's today for our monthly Ladies Lunch Bunch/Laurel Canyon. Kirsten was a wonderful waitress & we had a great time!“

“Well last night was just awful. Sat at the table for over 10 mins. asked a server to please wait on us and she did. She was new so she was trying. (It was not her table) I got the Southern fried chicken, green beans and pinto beans. The chicken tasted like it had been cooked earlier and re-dipped in the fryer to heat it up.🤮 the green beans or cold. I went in to Cracker Barrel just for the fried chicken and was very disappointed. No manager insight I did have it taken off my bill.“

“Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere“

“We just had the best experience at Taco Mac! When we first walked in we saw someone who wasn't really ok with waiting for a table and he was incredibly rude to the manager and the manager handled it like the professional he is. We were seated at our table and had the best service. There was a slight issue with one of our meals and the manager came over, before we even knew there was an issue, and explained the situation. He did everything to make sure we were happy and checked on us several times just to make sure. It was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be back. It helps to remember that people in the service industry can only do their jobs to the best of their ability and being rude to the staff or anyone, doesn't make them do things quicker or the way you want. Thank you to the staff at Taco Mac for handling our party of 7 with a smile and great service.“

“we had Alex for our waitress, She was Great!!!! Kept up with us, checked back often, and did a Great Job!!! You need more Servers like Her!!!!“

“Always such delicious food no matter what is ordered! Really good breakfast or a healthy dinner or supper. Made to order while you enjoy the home atmosphere. Good service and fair prices. Can’t wait for my next meal at New Georgian Hills. Yum!!“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch. My first time. Food was excellent! My turkey club was huge and so good! Service was exceptional! Will hopefully be back again soon! Highly recommend!“

“What a good experience today Sept 19th at Brooklyn Joe's of Canton. I placed my order at 4:11pm. I am sorry I don't know the young man that helped me but he did a great job. I ordered 2 subs, one with Italian sausage, onions and peppers no red sause, the other a meatball sub no cheese. Extra crispy fries. This young man even checked with me before bagging things up it it was ok. My goodness my wife and daughter, whom the subs were for, was so glad that it tasted so good. I have updated a earlier review and now give 5 stars. the last 4 digits of the sales order is 3588. If management can find the ticket base on the time and those numbers, to tell the young man and the staff“

“To me this a special place, that brought back memories of a favorite ice cream place that I loved when I was growing up ... many years ago.“

“First time visit! Great food and service! Will definitely be back!“

“Today 12/21/24, I went in to pickup my ham order. I had a bit of a struggle getting into the store as the parking lot was crowded. The young men working the counter were exceptionally helpful. Sean went so far as to carry my bags out to my car and he lent a helpful hand helping me walk. I was so impressed by the excellent service I felt compelled to write about it in a review. The honey baked brand is known for excellence and we always include it in our holiday fixings. I can highly recommend the Riverstone location simply amazing!!“

“We are visiting my in laws (coming from Texas) and stopped by for Saturday brunch. The food was delish but the people really made our experience special. All the ladies here were so sweet and helpful and they made our 9 month old baby daughter really happy!! Talking to her and flirting with her, my cheeks hurt from smiling the whole visit. We really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and breakfast foods/coffee 😊 we have to come back and visit Miss Dixie next time we’re visiting Jasper ❤️“

“What a great breakfast at a good price.“

“Always exceptional service and food is yummy. The staff is also top notch.“

“My friends and I really enjoy meeting here for drinks after work. The food is good, the service is great and there is always room at the bar. Highly recommend!“

“The only negative:
The heavy metal music was blasting! It was so loud that my husband and I had trouble hearing each other as we sat in our booth. We eventually just stopped trying to communicate during breakfast. It was so loud that we might not come back again. When we finally left, we both sighed in relief when we got outside. Today is December 7th, so they could have had soft Christmas music playing for a nice atmosphere, or even just any music that was on a lower volume.

The many positives:
Other than the blaring music, the service was excellent, and the food was tasty. Our kind server's nametag said "Maw Maw". She was great! She took our order and then brought our food very quickly. She was very thoughtful and polite and checked on us several times during our meal. Great service and very good food!“

“Delicious clean good service and the restaurant is actually pretty good, glad to see young people working hard doing a simple job to the best I really enjoyed the food thank you

Parking: Best parking in town is free pavement no sink holes like Florida you go in for a dinner and come out to find out your car was ate by a giant sinkhole! Oh plenty of room also straight lines not like Alabama you know they mark the parking spots like a 3 yr old using Crayola also there's variety you can get sunlight or night time environment deal pretty good come visit!

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space inside forn your kids to room free and scream !

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is!“

“The staff is so nice and hospitable. Food arrived quick and everything was good.“

“The cozy ambiance of Jasper's family restaurant envelops you as soon as you enter, the best in Jasper . The food shines, but the portion sizes leave something to be desired. My spinach salad with salmon was delectable, yet it barely had enough greens. I chuckled, not really, wondering if they were taxing spinach! Our friends faced the same plight, with scant lettuce and minuscule croutons. A little more generosity with the portions could elevate this delightful eatery even further. To the owners of the Woodbridge Inn Restaurant, take note .“

“Great wings, good lunch specials, great salads and good staff.“

“Just moved to the area and so delighted to have found this hidden gem. Amazing food, attentive service and atmosphere reminds us of Cheers Bar “where everyone knows your name”. Highly recommend this place! ?“

“Amazing service!! Best “date night” ever! 💕“

“The food was great! Ours was better when we ordered at night than during the day. No mistakes on our order at night.
We ordered our food to go. We ordered in the afternoon & around midnight ( separate days.)
The food was cooked perfectly every time.“

“I come in late at night right before closing every week after playing tennis for several hours. Stacey is always here every week, and no matter how late I come in, she is always in a great mood, very upbeat, and very warm and welcoming. It is a fabulous experience week after week. She is consistent in her attitude, work ethic and personality. It is a real pleasure being served by Stacey on a regular basis. Thank you Stacey 😊“

“Fast at delivering food, amazing staff, and very good food have been going there for years and I've never said anything bad about them definitely recommend to order speedy burgers all the way with cheese and slaw, it's amazing 💓💓“
