9 Best American Restaurants in Helen

“This huddle house is hands down THE BEST huddle house I’ve ever had the pleasure of having a meal at. Not only was the service & food exceptional- but my two young kids were in the heat with a dead battery & without hesitation the staff jumped right in to help. It’s not an option, but I’d give a 10/10- nope scratch that-
What do the kids say? BROKE MY SCALE! lol
Definitely so happy I chose here to eat!“

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

“Great meal, great service and wonderful people. Giant thumbs up from us.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great Food.. Marlie P. was the best server.“
