13 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lakemont

“Great experience! Delicious food in a cool location.“

“Food is great . And getting coal fired pizza around here doesn't exist . Salads fantastic too sandwiched with a great wine list“

“November 12, 2024 - It's official, this place has, unfortunately, closed for good. Came by today and saw them carrying off furnishings, and a big sign said, "closed." Also, I saw a sign that said the business is for sale. So, so, sad... The food was some of the best around. We'll miss you Billy and Starr. 😭

Oct. 31, 2024 - Not sure what's happening? I traveled to get food last Friday for lunch but the place was closed. My friend traveled yesterday to get lunch but the place was closed. What's up?

(New Update at bottom)

So, many months ago, I saw that this place (a little hole-in-the-wall, which I love) had a sign saying they would be coming soon. I've been waiting and checked Google Maps today and they said they were open. A perfect time to visit!

The place sits separately on one side of a gas station (which lately seems a trend for good little food places) and is small. It is very eclectic in decor and has maybe 7 tables and a counter to sit at. It is decorated with movie memorabilia and knicknacks which make it interesting to look at while waiting for your order.

Our waitress, Star(r)(sic?) was friendly, quick-witted and sharp. She had a response to everything, and it was all funny. Even though she was by herself the service was good. No complaints.

As you'll see, the menu is pretty extensive for such a small spot and the food above what we get in the area. My friend has a burger, with everything, so big and fries (lightly seasoned and flavorful). I had a pork cutlet sandwich and fries squash. I ordered the cutlet because I don't find many places have it - handcut and to order. Both were enough to bring us back to try other good items. (My only suggestion would be to have a heartier bread, like cibatta, to hold up under the hot cutlet because the bread was so-so and got steamed on the bottom and fell apart).

I wanted an appetizer and asked if the mushrooms were frozen or fresh and the waitress said, "everything is fresh." She was right! I had the mushroom appetizer and a side of squash (with meal), and both were lightly battered and delicious.

I'll definitely be back and my friend said he would as well. The owner came out and chatted and was nice and talked a bit about his restaurant background. Good to have the details.

Definite recommendation for our first time. I'll update this review next time, but you should definitely try it!

UPDATE: I've been three times now and the third time is as good as the first (second time was okay). You'll see I added photos of the "Famous Que" and the "Reuben." Both sandwiches were hearty and unique to the area (no one has anything close). The "Que" had sizable amounts of thick brisket, onions, peppers, and cheese on a toasted bun (the toasted bun is important for texture). I had a side of green beans in a juice made with some of the juices from the meat. Wow! Good flavor! The Reuben had thick slices of corned beef, cabbage, and cheese. I haven't seen a Reuben like this since the Jewish deli's in New England (not as hearty but close).

I would definitely recommend you go before this place gets a following and you can't get in. I'm going to work for a permanent seat. 🤣“

“Best kept secret! Gorgeous vinyard. My family came to Stonewall Creek Vinyard and had a fantastic time. Mark, the owner was very kind and showed us around. The wine was delicious and has won awards. We loved that our two boys were able to play bocce ball while my husband and i could talk and enjoy a bottle wine. Can't say enough about our experience and how great Stonewall creek Vinyard is.
Thank you for a wonderful time.

“Delicious! We have eaten at HUSH Clarkesville many times and we highly recommend!“

“So this Englishman was delighted to find a cafe that knows how to brew a pot of tea. I visited yesterday and had to come back again today. The egg sandwich with all the trimmings was so delicious as well. I will absolutely be back when I am in this vicinity. I cannot recommend this location enough. Five big gold stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ from me.“

“Holistic Mountain Market has bridged the vitamin and supplement gap that existed previously when having to travel to either Clarkesville or Franklin to find high-quality products. Offering organic, whole-food smoothies, prepared meals by The Shed, organic produce and more, it’s a must stop while in Clayton! And perfect for locals who work downtown looking for a healthy meal alternative. 💛✨“

“Great craft beers!! We sampled a few of them, all were great! And dang good tunes too“

“First and foremost, a huge shoutout to the incredible manager, Francisco! His warm, welcoming, and upbeat attitude set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. From the moment I walked in, his enthusiasm and professionalism made me feel genuinely valued as a guest. I ordered the Club Sandwich with chips, and let me tell you—this wasn’t just any club sandwich. It was the club of my dreams. Stacked high with savory black forest ham, tender roasted turkey, crispy bacon, and provolone, every bite was a symphony of flavor. The fresh romaine and ripe tomato added a crisp contrast, while the toasted sourdough provided the ideal crunch. The herb aioli brought everything together with a deliciously zesty finish. It was hearty, satisfying, and kept me full for hours. This place truly delivers on quality—from the thoughtfully crafted food to the outstanding customer service. If you’re looking for a memorable meal in a welcoming fun atmosphere, look no further. I can’t wait to come back!“

“I have dairy issues and it’s difficult to find places that accommodate. They accommodated me and the food still tasted good!!“

“The pizza is so good. The service was awesome.“

“It’s a good time for 100$ just have to settle for slow mediocre service the food is good staff is questionable.“
