“If you’re looking for the best Southern cooking in North Georgia, Aunt Effie’s Restaurant is THE place to go! This family-owned gem has been serving the community since 1985, and it’s clear why they’ve been a beloved staple for nearly 40 years.

And don’t even get me started on the desserts! Their cobbler is a slice of heaven, and the banana pudding is to die for. What makes Aunt Effie’s even more special is the story behind it. It’s been a family-owned and operated restaurant since the very beginning, serving love and comfort on every plate.

Thank you, Aunt Effie’s, for continuing to serve amazing food and creating memories for all of us. Here’s to many more years of delicious meals and happy diners!“

“Everything has been good except the super extremely over-salted fries. It literally makes slight blisters in my mouth due to the salt content. I looked all over the app to find a request for light salt, but couldn’t find anything. There’s gotta be more salt than potatoes. I love the fries, but please cut back on the salt. The sweet potato pie is phenomenal! I highly recommend.
Also, what happened to the cinnamon Bo biscuits? They were 100X’s better than those berry catastrophes.
Bring ‘em back! They’re missed!

Vegetarian options: There’s really nothing here for a vegetarian, except maybe a couple of the sides, but they probably have lard in them. They’re high in fat.

Dietary restrictions: Be very careful if you are on blood pressure medication. The salt content is no exaggeration. It’s extremely high!“

“I had a large order that was needed for a Father's Day gathering. I was able to call and speak to the manager Gina. She was able to assist me with all of my needs and when I got there to pick it up everything was hot and ready! Her staff was also great with assisting me to get my order to my vehicle! Customer service was top notch! The restaurant was clean too! Thank you to Gina and all of her staff for making my family event a great success! Kudos!!!“

“Big shout out to Summer at the drive thru for spreading good vibes. As I ordered, she complimented a ring I was wearing. I shared with her I had recently lost one of my favorite rings and she said I would probably find it when I least expected to. Well, guess what? Came home and put on gloves for cleaning kitchen and my ring magically appeared inside the glove! Thanks Summer for the good vibes. You made my day!!“

“Love it .so yummy . Very fast and good“

“For a Chick-fil-A, it was pretty slow moving in that drive-through. The employees were good, no complaints about them or the food. I'm not even really complaining about the wait time either, as I've been in much worse. It just seemed like longer than normal and with fewer cars.“

“This was my first visit. I was pleasantly surprised. I’ll be back.“
