9 Best American Restaurants near Pine Mountain

“After an amazing time at Wild Animal Safari my family and I wanted some local food and found this establishment. The food was amazing, well seasoned and fresh! The only thing was one of the waitresses didn’t introduced herself to us and she had an attitude to start but got better towards the end! Her attitude almost made my family and I walk out the door and go to a franchise for lunch, but because our day was going great we decided to stay and taste the food! The food was good just work on the attitude for future customers and the business! We will be back because the food is amazing, hopefully the attitude is better next go round! The four stars is because the food was really good!“

“Iron horse grill is great. Very good service. Food delicious. Grouper tacos and fries were delicious.“

“I loved coming here as a young kiddo and older teenager, so I started taking my own family to bond and share fun moments together. If you love the outdoors and the holiday magic, Fantasy of Lights is the most beautiful, magical, fun filled time with your loved ones. I highly recommend this park to visit. You won’t forget your visit or be able to compare it to other parks in GA!“

“Found this place over 18 years ago. Always impress with his meals. Food is so awesome. The atmosphere of this quaint restaurant is super. Highly recommend. Dagher and staff wonderful. We love his mom too.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Carriage & Horses Steak and Seafood Restaurant this evening. The food was devine and the staff was wonderful! I highly recommend trying this great establishment if you are in the area!“

“Cason’s is located at The Lodge at Callaway Gardens. It is small tavern with a large u-shaped bar along with high top tables. It also has comfy outside seating. Their Grilled Pimento Cheese sandwich with Fried Green Tomatoes was very good. Friendly staff and welcoming setting.“

“Absolutely delicious! simply put it’s far better than any franchised food chain.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars — This Place Saved the Trip

Let me set the scene. We were heading to Callaway Gardens to pick up some Vintage jewelry (I’ll talk about that later), when I discovered that the Oyster House — the seafood spot I was counting on — was permanently closed according to Yelp.

I was devastated. Like… fully prepared to cancel Pine Mountain altogether. I was having a whole moment. 😩

Then I did a little digging and found out that Eddie Mae’s Kountry Kitchen & Oyster Bar had the same owner. I found this out before we arrived, and I knew immediately — we HAD to stop there.

And let me tell you… January 3, 2026 — this is all I needed in my life.

This is GOOD seafood.
Like, really good seafood.
Freshly cooked. Hot. Flavorful. Done right.

The service? AMAZING.
The people? Warm, genuine, country hospitality at its finest.
The vibe? Real, welcoming, and comfortable — no nonsense, just good food and good people.

Food. Service. Atmosphere. People. Clean restaurant. Clean restrooms.
Five stars across the board.

I’ll be honest — I will never come to Pine Mountain again unless I know Eddie Mae’s is open. I need y’all to hang in there with me because otherwise I can’t even travel outside of Atlanta for real. 😂

If you want legit seafood, incredible service, and that authentic country goodness — this is the place.“

“I was ignored for at least 8 minutes the first time I came in, while the staff carried on conversations amongst themselves. I have seen it happen to other customers as well. They did not cut anything on my salad, just big chunks of everything. Today my sandwich was put on a dirty cutting board without a paper sheet under it. I politely asked the guy working to put my bread on a clean piece of sandwich paper and he ignored me. I also don't care for heating my chicken in a plastic bag. The lady proceeded to make my sandwich without asking if I wanted it toasted, but she was very polite. At least they're clean. I wish I had more choices for lunch in Hamilton.“
