50 Best American Restaurants near Oakwood

“Came here while visiting family. Our server was great and the atmosphere was wonderful. There were 11 of us and all of our food was brought out together. It was all absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back here when visiting again.“

“If you’ve had a bad experience I’d like to welcome you to come see me on 3rd shift and I’d hope to change your mind. every shift here has improved tremendously and we would be happy to have a second chance at making an amazing experience for you and your family.😁“

“Love eating at this location, food is always good and hot. The only thing I would have to take off a star for is that there is a lady that typically is at the window and she always licks her fingers to open the plastic bags to put your food in and she touches everything else without washing hands or using gloves. This is unsanitary and un settling. Having a wet paper towel at your station would help instead of using spit. But other than that, this location is top tier.“

“Doesn’t matter what I order, A1 Service and Class A Food“

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly cooked wings and burgers that sets the tone for an unforgettable meal. The menu is packed with options that cater to every craving, whether you’re in the mood for perfectly seasoned wings or a juicy, flavorful burger.

The wings at Wing and Burger Factory are a standout. They offer an incredible variety of sauces and rubs, from classic Buffalo to unique flavors you won’t find anywhere else. The wings are always cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and generously coated in sauce. No matter what flavor you choose, you’re in for a treat.

Their burgers are just as impressive. Each one is crafted with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference. The patties are juicy and flavorful, cooked just the way you like them, and the toppings are always fresh and abundant. Whether you’re going for a classic cheeseburger or something more adventurous, you won’t be disappointed.

What really makes Wing and Burger Factory stand out is the attention to detail and the quality of the food. Every item on the menu feels thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. The service is friendly and efficient, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish.

If you’re a fan of wings, burgers, or just great food in general, Wing and Burger Factory is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place that you’ll keep coming back to, eager to try everything on the menu. Highly recommended!“

“The best food and drinks on the square 🥰“

“The food here is awesome!! The drinks are delicious too! My favorite is the painkiller!! They limit you to 2. I understand why, I had jello legs walking out of there! The portions are enough to have for lunch/dinner the next day. Their homemade croissants with the honey butter drizzle, yummy! 😋 You must try this place! We went to two different locations and the food is consistent.“

“Aqua Terra never fails.... I used to go there a lot when I was working in Buford. Nice cocktails at the bar before you sit down for the sizzling steaks and garlick mash potatoes, or perfectly seared scallops and pasta, topped with cream brulee, good selection of wines and port. My wife reminds me of her favorite, the lobster bisque. Professional service and live piano music, as per the original owner, Laura's vision.This New Year dinner, I was told that it changed hands but kudos to the new owners, everything was as good... Happy New Year to all...“

“We enjoyed our first trip to Standard Service. The food was delicious and the service was great! Just wish trivia was upstairs rather than in the tap room.“

“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.“

“Excellent food paired with excellent service!“

“Great little spot and very fast service. Got the bacon double cheese burger and it was very, very good! Best part, it was cheaper than some crappy Ronald M burger! Been here twice and it was great both times. Gotta try their breakfast next!“

“Went here for breakfast a few weeks ago. The atmosphere was pretty chill for a late morning. Ordered plate of biscuits and gravy with red hot sausage and an orange juice. The gravy was smooth and warm with the red hot giving a good amount of spice. Very curious to see what else was offered, I returned a few days later to get a burger to go as is advertised on their sign up front. The burger was surprisingly juicy and delicious. What even more surprising was learning that Mama Ruth’s has been around since 1975! With a diverse menu and friendly customer service, I can see why it has continued to thrive.“

“I’ve been to this location a few times and have always had a good experience. Nicole was my server tonight and honestly was the best service I’ve had at a sit down restaurant in a very long time! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had a great experience! I’ll definitely be back!“

“Went here for brunch with a group of friends from church. The atmosphere inside was vibrant coming off like an old diner with Las Vegas memorabilia on the walls. The menu was expansive with many options to choose from. I ordered their special Elvis cakes which were 3 pancakes covered in banana slices, peanut butter chips, and powdered sugar. The cakes were quite filling with no additional condiments needed. I also ordered a small bowl of their fried potatoes which were surprisingly good! Service was excellent despite the large crowd of people. Overall a great place to go for breakfast/brunch.“

“My fiancé and I were looking for someplace nice within a 30 minute drive of Winder. Antebellum popped up on our search. And we are glad it did. Restaurant was quaint and nice. Lighting perfect. And food and ambiance amazing. Charity, our waitress, was kind, courteous and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Checked on us often. And hospitable conversation. We will return. Plus since it was Christmas week, the lighting of restaurant and little downtown of Flowery Branch was amazing!!“

“One of the best burgers around. Loved every bite. The extra price for fries should be more than a small handful. But the burger was amazing. Will be back for sure soon.“

“I can’t say enough great things about WBC! We used to live in Flowery Branch, GA, and during our motorcycle ride from Florida to North Carolina, we knew without a doubt we had to make a stop here. This is, hands down, the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. The owners are truly AMAZING and the staff are the friendliest people you’ll meet—genuinely kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. Everything on the menu is amazing—you truly can’t go wrong no matter what you order. We’ll definitely be back soon. It’s absolutely worth the 7-hour drive from Florida!“

“I stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad I did! You wouldn’t expect a wings and burger joint to serve amazing bulgogi bowls, but all their Korean dishes are delicious. The dumplings are fantastic, and the marinated cucumbers are a must-try. I live in Cleveland and make the drive to Dawsonville just to eat here. The father-son duo running the place is incredibly nice and welcoming. You should definitely check them out!“

“1000/10! This place is always amazing! But today especially! Whoever took my order for Carly(Turkey Burger, Philly and wings)(7/6 @ 4:00ish) needs a raise! And whoever cooked it needs a double raise!!!! MY GOODNESS! Absolutely perfect! Chefs kiss! Thank you!!!“

“Very crispy wings 😋. I don't typically eat this, but this is my guilty pleasure. I love the extra spicy wings and lemon pepper wings. The fries are also extra crispy. Idk where this location will moved to when the mall shutsdown. The wings are affordable and delicious. I hope they relocate somewhere near.“

“Absolutely the best burgers I have had in a long time. Great service too. Will be back again and again!!“

“The best BBQ, brisket, and chicken I’ve had in as many years as I can think. Their slaw and Mac-n-cheese was spot-on as well. Very friendly folks with fast service. Prices are reasonable.“

“Wow, wow, and wow. What a night to remember! Best place to celebrate the lady's birthday. The food was immaculate and our server Mary Katherine was excellent and made great suggestions for our first time. From the starter to dessert, everything we had was exceptional! It was also good to be able to speak to the owner Vincent and learn more about how the restaurant came to be. Go here, we promise you'll enjoy it! Sorry for no pictures, everything was getting hammered as soon as it was placed down!“

“We have been traveling for the past few months from NC to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center to see family. We found this little jewel early on and always stop now. Hannah is an ah-mazing waitress and even though we don’t come often, remembers us and our drinks. Great food and true hometown feeling. Wish we lived closer!“

“10/10 great experience, ask for Alec as a server! Good food, good prices, great service.“

“Stopped by for dinner last night. Delicious burger cooked to perfection with thick slices of bacon , fried pickles as well as a new house appetizer of empanadas . Had a blast sitting outside and hanging out with friends . Also was shocked at how affordable everything is! One of the few places left where you can order a burger and it comes with fries at no extra cost. Great place to go to after a day at the lake. Will be returning !“

“My daughter and I came across this place while heading out to see the Christmas lights at Lake Lanier. I will admit, pulling up to the location initially gave me some hesitation. However, those doubts were quickly put to rest. The service was excellent, and the food we were able to order was very good. The only drawback was that they were preparing to close for 16 days for the holidays, so several menu items were unavailable. That said, what we did have was enough to make me want to return and try more once they reopen. Overall, a pleasant surprise and a place I would recommend.“

“Fresh, hot, with attentive great service. It’s a win. The fried rice was dry but it’s this way at all locations. My last time getting it. The wings, fries, Philly, peach koolaid all on point. Best part they all you to shake your own seasoning on 👏🏾“

“I love Culvers burgers and their fries, eat there for lunch once a week. it was cold out today and I thought a bowl of chili would be good. Ordered the chili supreme, paid for extra onions, cheese and sour creme, no sour creme on the tray, they told me they were out of it. you could have let me know before hand, I would have skipped that part of the order. $10.54 for a little bowl of chili, hardly any meat in it, fries and a drink, what a disappointing meal.“

“I've eaten here many times for breakfast and once or twice for lunch. I've always enjoyed it. The food and folk are great. The people are always friendly. Biscuits are soft and warm. Eggs are nice and fluffy. And they are one of the few places in Hall County that does large smoked and breakfast sausages that are scrumptious. Only negative is their coffee. Not sure what they do, but it never tastes right, even when being a blend I use at home and like.“

“That was the best Turkey I’ve ever had!!!! The smoked turkey breast was the most moist turkey I’ve ever put in my mouth. Even the next day after heating it up in the microwave. I will definitely order again next year! Zero complaints 100% compliments!“

“Went for the first time today. I had the fried shrimp and my son had the queso chicken. Both were excellent. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“I love 💕 37 Main the staff is so friendly and welcoming especially Rob at the door!! The bands are always amazing!! I highly recommend this place for good times and great music!!“

“Service was decent. Serving Size for the Roast beef dinner was tiny. Meat was very fatty and there was not enough to cover a piece of loaf bread.“

“The food is always amazing“

“I’m not typically a huge fan of bbq because if the intense smokey, salty flavor. The pulled pork was perfect! Flavor was so good, just the right amount of ‘smoke’! The sides were delicious as well.“

“I had not eaten at Wayback since they had issues with a failed inspection a while back, but always enjoyed their good Carolina burger. Went back yesterday for the first time, and found that the burger is smaller, with prefab formed patties. While the chips were very good….I was disappointed with the burger based on previous experience. Sad because previously the Carolina was a great burger. Not sure if I will go back after this change.“

“We love Pelican Pete’s great for date night or just a casual relaxing lunch. It’s on the water so it’s perfect. The people there are so great and the food is wonderful.!!!! And yes, the drinks are yummy too 💜😍🔥“

“The food was good! There's a lot of choices.“

“Boneless ham spiral sliced“

“I had an excellent experience at Recess! My waitress, Ali, was outstanding — professional, well-informed, and had a fantastic personality that made the whole experience even better. She knew the menu inside and out and made great recommendations. The service was smooth, the food came out perfectly, and Ali’s upbeat attitude really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend asking for Ali if you want top-notch service!“

“I'm new to this course. So far seems like good folks.“
