“10/10 came today for my birthday and got the strawberry shortcake donuts and wings! So yummy! Very fast! Very clean restaurant and servers were very attentive:)“

“I moved to Cornelia a little over a year ago, finally had food from Midtown Grill. All I can say this is now my favorite place. The portions are huge. The food is out of this world, it is so good that I have gotten food there twice this week. I can honestly say BEST hamburgers in Cornelia. I can’t recommend this place enough, if you haven’t tried it you must . Hope it never changes“

“We were on our way to Maggie Valley and stopped for lunch and had Jason who was a great attentive bartender and my wedge salad was great and my wife got wings. We liked it so much we stopped on our way back to Florida and had Jake for a bartender and I got shrimp tacos(3) and they were great along with half price Bloody Mary's. Can't beat that!
I noticed they had a few bad reviews so I'm sure they have turned things around. Because both times we were there (Friday/Sunday) it was packed.
I'd definitely go back.“

“Love this place!“

“This was my first time coming to this establishment and it definitely won’t be the last. The environment was clean , the food was amazing and most importantly the customer service was outstanding. The staff name jazz attentive, respectful and resourceful being that I was indecisive. I highly recommend this location and promise it won’t disappoint.“

Manuela G was fantastic!!!!
Very nice, funny! And we never had to ask for anything!
Food was very good. Steaks cooked perfectly! First meal we have had here in a while. This time was really worth it. Even better. No wait to be seated.“

“The food was cooked well, and the staff was amazing. And... they have a touch tunes jukebox!“

“Attic WE live in Highlands, NC but our kids live in GA. It is a wonderful drive there and back, but we always plan our trip with a lunch stop in Clarkesville, at the Attic Restaurant. Exposed brick walls, a nice bar and ALWAYS fresh foods: I almost always get special soup. We dine inside, but outside is lovely too! Love the waitstaff, the ownership, and even the guests are congenial. The town has cute shops, a great antiques shop and more. You never know where to go off the interstate, BUT the attic is worth the detour!“

“Clean, friendly environment. Staff is Happy to serve you. Breakfast is homemade, beautiful light biscuits and gravy. Big homemade cinnamon rolls on Saturdays. Will be returning. Encourage everyone to go if you want a good hot homemade breakfast.“

“Went tonight ( August 4, 2026) around 5 pm. Ordered the MVP. When the food arrived, pancakes were burnt, hash browns so hard couldn't chew them, eggs weren't cooked all the way (ordered scrambled well), and in between the toast was at least 2 tablespoons of butter. All I was able to eat was my grits and bacon, along with my diet Pepsi. Cook never came over to try to make it right. Only had $3.00 taken off my check. The waitress was nice and apologetic.“

“Really good food! Great prices. The owner and the employees are really nice.“

“Great Country Cooking was worth the ride from SC 😊😋“

“No one knows JUST how AMAZING the food is here because it's tied to a bowling alley. Let me just tell you..... It's some of the best food in Habersham County. The menu is as big as Texas. Don't know what to get? Go on a Tuesday and try a specialy cocktail by the best bartender ever. Start with an appetizer of spinach artichoke dip, the Greek salad will hit home. For a meal, hit the burger menu. ALL of them are to die for. Have fun, Eat happy. Much LoVE“

“So welcoming, clean and super yummy food!“

“I have dined at The Copper Pot many times, and somehow I have never tried the Gateway Grits…until today! Let me tell you, this is the best grit dish I have had in a very long time. I am very particular about my grits, and love that their grits are sourced locally from Nora Mill just down the road in Helen. I was looking for something that would warm me up on a cold January afternoon, and this hit the spot. It also helped that I had WONDERFUL service from Alex. She was very attentive, kind, and provided good conversation. Grateful to have wonderful eateries like The Copper Pot in my hometown!“

“The salmon was fantastic!!“
