“Vintage style dining set in an old farmhouse with beautiful decor, amazing food & outstanding service. As we were sat at our table, this very kind man came over to our table to check on us & advised he was indeed, Mully, the owner of the restaurant. He welcomed us & thanked us for dining with him. We carried on a nice conversation with him, asked what he recommended & he carried on his way. Definitely a 10/10 and we will be visiting again next time we’re in Helen!“

“Ordered takeout. The pizza was delicious. About 15 min wait. The staff was very friendly.“

“We spent 3 wonderful days enjoying the natural beauty in comfort as well as great service by all associates. All staff were welcoming and offered assistance with dinner reservations and golf as well. Steve was the first and last associate we encountered during our stay. He is an asset to your wonderful resort. I relaxed at the pool 2 days while my husband played golf. Perfect get away for us. We enjoyed 1 breakfast and 2 dinners in Caldonia and they were delicious with large portions. Thank you so much, we look forward to visiting again!“

“This place is upstairs. You will see a sign from the street. We went in because the teenagers in our group wanted Boba tea. But when we got in, they had coffee! And they had honey coffee so I was excited to try it. I loved it. And ended up going a second day just to have that coffee again. I definitely recommend trying it out. They also have a cute sitting area where you can take a break from shopping or just relax a bit.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! We were not expecting to find anything good near the cabin we rented and this place was absolutely fantastic!They are busy and understaffed so expect to wait and be kind to the server who is hustling to get everything done! Our waitress was fantastic.That being said- the wait was absolutely worth it! My veggie burger was the best I’ve ever had and I had to share my “fries” because no one could get enough.We will be back :) thank you very much!!!!“

“When the owner truly cares…. Our daddy passed this week. Cafe International was his all time favorite restaurant. Mervin, the owner, fixed him a plate and sat him a chair at our tables. Talk about a thoughtful action….“

“Chris recommended beer and food that was all super delicious. They brought out garnished hotdogs and water for our pups. Everything was wonderful!“

“It was very good food. Service was not so hot. Good service right up front and then they forgot about us.“

“I highly recommend this place; incredible service, generous portions, the wings were massive and delicious, priced great compared to other spots on the strip. This will be my go 2 spot when I visit from here on out. The best part, they take care of BIKERS! Love this place, thank you!“

“I was a little worried when we walked in because it took a while for someone to come seat us. It appeared that mostly people at the bar were being more catered to, but I was wrong. A very friendly middle aged man came out and seated our party of 10 and waited our table. The service was wonderful and the pizza was the best I’ve ever eaten! My son enjoyed the wings too. I highly recommend visiting Slice of Helen!“

“My only complaint is that the prices are high but what would you expect in a tourist town. Everything in Helen is pricey.They have somewhere around 36 flavors to choose from. There's lots of seating at picnic benches to catch your breath and cool off in the hot Georgia summers and to escape the cold with a hot pretzel or elephant ear in the mountain winters.“

“Awesome environment, pet friendly and Sara is awesome. I highly recommend. The beer cheese dip is amazing.“

“Went to the Helen subway tonight even though we live in Cleveland but the one in Cleveland has let us down on many occasions. So.today we choose the Helen location I have to say this is the best sub I have has in forever . The service was amazing ,store was clean very pleased .“

“Great food and great place on the river!“

“Good staff, good food, are the best ingredients for a nice experience! Ty dog haus“

“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!“

“We went to this place in 2022 and 2023. In 2022 they had the triple lobster tail special. Very good and it was cold water lobster. My wife got the filet and really enjoyed it. In 2023 I got oysters and shrimp. Very good!!! My wife got the filet and loved it again. Wait staff is amazing. Bread is amazing and the view is perfect. We are going again in a couple weeks. It’s one of our favorites“
