“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!“

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

“Today I accidentally left my bag at this café after grabbing some bread, and I didn’t realize it until later.
When I came back, the staff had safely kept my bag for me, and I was so relieved and grateful.
Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the kindness and honesty of the staff truly touched my heart.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my belongings. I will definitely come back again!“

“Food was excellent, but damn did it take forever to collect the order. We were told 30 minutes for pickup, we ended up waiting an additional 30 almost 40 minutes after that. Then they forgot to charge us, luckily for them the wife is honest and flagged down a server to pay.“

“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!“

“BEST Rueben in town! Great staff! Hannah was our waitress and she was AMAZING! We will be back“

“Adriana is the real MVP of North Georgia! She was our server and cook during the snow storm! Fabulous food as always and the most hospitable service! We had a Tree Hugger and The Junker to eat. DELICIOUS! The crust was cooked to perfection!“

“Awesome spot with fantastic staff and fantastic food. The chili is great, the burger was among the best I've had, and the beer was cold enough that my hand hurt by the end of the visit. Ample parking for scoots, a pay lot just behind the pace, and the tour train depot right next door. They always have really great live music also. We love to visit when we are in town. 100% worth the stop.“

“had they're pizza it's great and the euro sandwich is great“

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

“Great food and great place on the river!“

“Felicity is a great Bartender.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews for fast food but I felt like this one was deserved after seeing their score on google! I stopped by to pick up lunch for my husband and I! My experience was wonderful, the guy that helped me was nice and patient with me since I was trying to figure out what to order my husband. Also, the quality of the sandwiches were the best I’ve had from subway in a while!“

“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!“

“Shannon and Mandy were great.“
