6 Best Southern Restaurants near Pine Mountain

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 love going but I’m so disappointed that y’all took the annual family pass option away 😢 - you need to bring it back 🙂“

“We were a little hesitant to try this restaurant because of the lower reviews, especially with a group of 19 people, including 11 kids, but we were pleasantly surprised! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly sweet, patient, and accommodating with our large group. It was also very convenient to the cottages where we’re staying. We’re so glad we gave it a chance and would definitely recommend it!“

“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!“

“Delicious food. Ms. DeeDee makes a mean chicken sandwich“
