10 Best American Restaurants in Lavonia

“I just stopped by for a quick lunch based on recommendations from family. I had no thoughts of even reviewing this restaurant. But once I tasted the food, I had no choice. This restaurant checked all of the boxes, for their category of culinary selections. In the top two country cooking restaurants I know of anywhere. I would rate them a Michelin star plus.“

“Gumlog Brewery has been such a fun addition to downtown Lavonia. Even though we don’t drink, I love their wine slushes and their pretzels with cheese dip — so good! They’ve brought such a great energy to downtown with evening events and a fun atmosphere for the community. It’s been really nice to see our town have more places to gather and enjoy time together.“

“Great food, great service and we enjoy Omar and staff.“

“Big thanks to J Peters Grill & Bar in Lavonia for hosting our whole office after a busy morning of team pictures and headshots! 📸 The food was fresh and delicious (those croissants are always a favorite 😋), and the service was quick and friendly—even with our big group. It was the perfect spot to relax, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. We appreciate the hospitality and can’t wait to come back! 🍴✨“

“Today we stopped in and ordered take out. 2 cheeseburgers and chili cheeseburgers! We took the food home to enjoy and it was still hot and the fries were still crispy and had just the right amount of salt!!!! The employees were nice and even brought the food to my car while I was waiting on it!!! This was our 3rd visit and we will be back!“

“I wish I could give Moriah and this store 100 stars!!! We were in the area for a funeral and due to some impending weather many of the people planning to help provide for the luncheon after the service were not comfortable being out with a storm coming. While totally understandable, this left us scrambling the night before to come up with a way to serve lunch to 40-60 people. We were freaking out! CB and Moriah came through in a big way assuring they could make it happen and get it delivered to the church for the luncheon on time and they did just that. So incredibly grateful for the kindness and execution in our time of need! Well done!“

“We love to go to Gumlog. They have the best catfish around. Steaks are great, they are so tender that they just melt in your mouth. Waitress's are so friendly they make you want to come back. All around it is one of the best places around to eat“

“I had to seat myself X5 people came in after I did and ordered my food BTW. They received their food prior to mine. I asked the waitress about my food. She then gave my food 20mins later. Everything was COLD! grits w/lumps cold, bacon cold, cheese eggs cold, the toast was old/cold! I spoke with the waitress and left NO TIP! WORST W/H EVER!!!“

“Food is really good...but the customer service isn't up to par in my opinion 1)FOOD gets a 4/5 rating 2)CUSTOMER SERVICE gets a 3/5 rating“
