18 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Helen

“We came late and were not rushed out. Staff was really nice and even offered us water as we waited for storm to pass sitting on their deck. Red Curry Todd cooked was amazing!“

“I love the food. Everything is always delicious. The service is great. Our server was Alex and he made everyone laugh. We will be back!!“

“Stopped in today to try a flight of ice DREAM! 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.“

“Here for a family reunion. We had Tracy as our waitress and she was top notch! She got everything correct and food out for 17 people! Food was great! Catfish and steaks were great! We will be back and will ask for Tracy! Knoxville TN“

“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.“

“Awesome spot ! Lots of choices!! Great atmosphere!!“

“1st time! we shall see, owner came out personally to ask about my tomato allergy.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had the trout, and it was absolutely amazing. Others in our group ordered the big platter and were a little disappointed, but the staff did mention they’re in the middle of remodeling, so I’m chalking it up to that. They’ve eaten there before with no complaints, so I’m confident it was just an off moment.“

“We were in Helen this week and ate here twice!! The amazing service, the welcoming atmosphere, and the great food makes Muller's the best restaurant in the area!! 11 out of 10 recommend this place!! Absolutely Love it!! A must stop!!“

“Love this place! Come here every time I come to Helen Brats and kraut/ potato salad is also good and very reasonably priced Great music too!“

“We tried the restaurant! If you’re looking for authentic German food without spending a fortune, Old Bavaria is a must visit! The brats were absolutely amazing, packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and tasted incredibly authentic. The beer selection was delicious and paired perfectly with every dish.

Honestly, every single thing we tried was excellent. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. It’s one of those places that feels cozy, welcoming, and leaves you already planning your next visit.

Highly recommend if you love great food, cold beer, and a true German dining experience!“

“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.“

“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!“
