“Delicious burger, limited uncomfortable seating. Water drops from air conditioning fell on me where I sat. Shame, limited, uncomfortable seating, and cramped. Friendly service.”

“My daughter and I were in Helen for Thanksgiving. We sat and enjoyed a wonderful crêpe on Thanksgiving morning with Ashlee and Tori. Honestly it was my favorite meal our whole entire stay. I am a chef, and I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for over 30 years. This place is a wonderful gem with fresh food and a great staff.”

“Overall, we had a good experience. The restaurant had a cool look. The potato pancakes were good- crispy on the outside. They had a hint of flavor, but needed more. It was great with the apple sauce. The pretzel was fluffy and soft with very delicious cheese! It was so cheesy and had a distinct taste. I think in general our problem was the good was bland. My husband had the chicken sandwich and said it was good- the flavor coming from the burnt parts. I got the beef roast- it was good, but it was slathered in gravy. The carrots and potatoes needed seasoning. My son got the chicken schnitzel. It was soggy. The mashy potatoes had a good texture, but needed seasoning. The spaetzle was also soggy- maybe that's how they are supposed to be? I don't know much about German food, but maybe this is how it's supposed to taste?? We went back a second time and sat in a different room- there were no TVs and the lights were super bright so we got out food to go. The pretzel was just as good. The french onion soup was okay- probably better there. The mozzarella was not was stretchy/stringy as I remember. It also might not have been mozzarella- not sure. We also had a piece of German chocolate cake. It was good. The cake was moist and the cream was thick with coconut and nuts!”

“This truly is a hole in the wall. We happened to visit during the hours they were open. There are maybe seven to eight tables total. We were lucky it wasn't busy. The two of us shared a combination platter, kielbasa, perogies, three different kinds of sauerkrauts, and a cabbage roll. It was plenty, but we just wanted some more perogies, but not a full perogie platter. When we asked, the German cook said she could do that for us, she was really nice, and the only one in the kitchen. The perogies are homemade and that good.”

Four flavors, all spectacular, presentation on point, and Vegas (didn’t catch her name, you’ll know her though) was as spicy as the Hot Lava ice cream—my fav. What a delightful place, even had an SRV pic on the shelf! Best ice cream we’ve had in … ever! We even got a malted milkshake and coffee float to go. 😋 #livingitupinhelenga.”

“My wife and I just returned from celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, at the Valhalla Resort Hotel. We absolutely LOVED it! The minute we drove up to the hotel’s front door, we were greeted by Steve, a tremendous valet! He genuinely treated us like we were the most important people in the hotel, right from the get go! Then, as we walked into the hotel, Judy welcomed us in with a smile, and explained to us what Valhalla had to offer. I felt like we were visiting with friends! Our room was beautiful, and quite festive, as our youngest daughter purchased the “Celebrate You” package for us! Later that evening, we went to have a drink at the Sky Bar, which has beautiful Mountain Views! Matt was the bartender, who fixed us an Old Fashioned, a Jalapeño Margarita. DELICIOUS! Matt is full of personality, and was right on point both days we spent time with him! Lastly, we met Jerry Murdock, the owner. Jerry was as kind as can be, and is an absolute riot! Thank you Valhalla, for helping to make our 30th wedding anniversary a most special one! We will be back!”

“We ate at Hofer’s on our last morning at Helen, and we wish we’d have found it sooner! The food was absolutely to die for, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They noticed my 6 year old was eating heartily and made sure he had enough, and they took overall great care of us! I live hours away from Helen and would consider driving back just to have breakfast here! If you’re going thru Helen, make sure you put Hofer’s at the very top of your list!”

“This is the ONLY food place in Helen above a 4.8 stars for a REASON! When the man at the cash register is covered in tattoos wearing Pit Vypers and a baseball jersey with a picture of the Milky Way on it, there’s only one of two ways your culinary experience is gonna go: horrible, or life changing. Ours was absolutely the latter. Clayton (a DUDE’S DUDE!) hooked us up with phenomenal fried chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. The satisfying, extra crispiness on the outside gave way to a wonderful, melty middle that hugged my molars like little pillows and made me feel like a child again. Clayton did a fantastic job getting the food out quickly and making us feel welcome. He gave us great recommendations on good local places to visit. After our order he single handedly rescued a puppy from a motorcycle accident, counseled a couple to reconsider divorce and found not one but TWO homes for lost orphans who stoped by. This is the greatest place on earth, second only to church. Go to the snack shack, you won’t regret it.”

“From the time I made reservations until we exited the restaurant the staff at Anna's Italian Kitchen was superb. The freshness of the meal and the flavors were good and delicious. The presentation was one of elegance, yet welcoming. Brody, our waiter, made sure everything was perfect. For an added bonus, he serenaded the restaurant with his awesome voice. The views from the dining room were beautiful, as the sun set over the mountains. The value of the dinner is great. We had an eight course dinner with plenty of leftovers (believe me, you will want to savor every bite). I suggest you sit and enjoy every minute and every bite (they do not rush you or make you feel uncomfortable for taking your time).”

“Well, my daughter and I ordered the goulash as we always do. Once again, it did not disappoint! Unfortunately, we forgot that this was during Octoberfest and the kitchen was pretty backed up. For the first time ever, my husband ordered a dish was subpar. The trout. It was cold and bland, and the same with the mashed potatoes. They were too coldbto melt butter. He will not be ordering that again. The Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese was awesome, as always! Our waitress was fun, though tired, and knowledgeable about what to do and where to go. Overall, it was still a fun night.”

“Delicious✨. My family went there specifically because of the good reviews one of us was reading. I don’t know what site he was using but they were all outstanding, nothing less than a four star. I thought the place was amazing! We were served pretty quickly and the appetizers greatly appeased the wait. The loaded fries and chicken I got was DELICIOUS! I have never eaten anything better ? (I’m not a bot, I swear?). The servers were really nice, especially the guy on the phone when we called to ask about the wait (there was none!) They even pushed enough tables together to have our 19 people sitting at the same table (usually they say 15 people a table, max at other restaurants). I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it??♀️. Highly recommend!”
