“This morning, my husband and I had breakfast at the Huddle House on Main Street in Helen, Georgia. I have allergies to gluten, dairy, corn, and oats, which makes going out to eat very challenging.

Server Angie, cook Bryson, and the team at Huddle House took up that challenge and bent over backwards to make sure I had something more than two eggs for breakfast. They went through every entry on the menu to see what I could have, and came up with a salad with chicken on it.

It was delicious! When we left, my hunger had been sated, and my heart was also happy that these folks worked so hard to make sure I started the day with a delicious breakfast!

Many thanks to all of the team at The Huddle House on Main Street in Helen, Georgia!“

“We actually went there twice last weekend because the food and service was so good! Very impressive and much improved!!“

“one of Cleveland's best restaurant,real food, love the people, fantastic environment, if you want a real burger this is the place.“

“Today I accidentally left my bag at this café after grabbing some bread, and I didn’t realize it until later.
When I came back, the staff had safely kept my bag for me, and I was so relieved and grateful.
Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the kindness and honesty of the staff truly touched my heart.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my belongings. I will definitely come back again!“

“Where the locals get their pretzels! Several employees in the Helen area recommended this snack shack. It's in the back. If you're on the main sidewalk you need to go down that tunnel and all the way to the end near the employee parking lot. Don't be put off by the hole in the wall vibe. Staff was so friendly and kind. The pretzel and pickle fries were the best. And the pretzel comes in a pizza box. Nobody else has a pretzel that big! So soft and warm and has extra dip, not just one dinky cup of dip like the others.“

“I LOVE HUDDLE HOUSE“

“I was out hiking with friends and randomly chose this restaurant for lunch. It did not disappoint! We had a fabulous dining experience! The jambalaya was full of flavor with just the right amount of spice to give it a kick without being overwhelming.
The bread was so good that we ended up asking for three baskets! Warm, fresh, and impossible to stop eating!
Our server, Molly, was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She answered all of our questions, made excellent recommendations, and helped make our meal even more enjoyable. My friend enjoyed her lemon drop as well.
Great food, excellent service, and a fantastic overall experience.
One suggestion, don't have the drink pitchers sitting under the tree for anything to drop in them.“

“My wife and I just returned from celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, at the Valhalla Resort Hotel. We absolutely LOVED it! The minute we drove up to the hotel’s front door, we were greeted by Steve, a tremendous valet! He genuinely treated us like we were the most important people in the hotel, right from the get go! Then, as we walked into the hotel, Judy welcomed us in with a smile, and explained to us what Valhalla had to offer. I felt like we were visiting with friends! Our room was beautiful, and quite festive, as our youngest daughter purchased the “Celebrate You” package for us! Later that evening, we went to have a drink at the Sky Bar, which has beautiful Mountain Views! Matt was the bartender, who fixed us an Old Fashioned, a Jalapeño Margarita. DELICIOUS! Matt is full of personality, and was right on point both days we spent time with him! Lastly, we met Jerry Murdock, the owner. Jerry was as kind as can be, and is an absolute riot! Thank you Valhalla, for helping to make our 30th wedding anniversary a most special one! We will be back!“

“Fresh baked goods made without preservatives. I noticed the pound cake and the white cake of a coconut frosted cupcake had a hint of almond in them. Also had a chocolate whooping pie. Filling tasted like it had cream cheese in it. Good variety of cakes, cookies, and breads. They make a great granola. They have fresh made deli sandwiches and pre made meals that are frozen.“

“Pulled up and ordered a dozen donuts. The man working took the time to make more of the filled ones we wanted as it was getting closer to closing and they didn't have any more ready.

The donuts here are amazing. Probably the best I've ever had, and for a great price too. Do not be fooled by the appearance of the outside...you would be missing out if you passed them up.

It helps to write it down on a slip of paper to hand to them if you have a large order.“

“We love this place, we have been there numerous times the staff is good,great customer service.food is bar food but it's better than most bars in Helen. Atmosphere is nice many tvs.huge outside seating area“

“Ordered takeout. The pizza was delicious. About 15 min wait. The staff was very friendly.“

“Great tasting food . Large portions . Fried ice cream a new experience , delish !“

“My husband was there yesterday Sunday Jan. 7,2024. You were very busy and the girl at the windiw was so upbeat & friendly. It must be a good place to work!“

“Really good food! Great prices. The owner and the employees are really nice.“

“Overall, we had a good experience. The restaurant had a cool look. The potato pancakes were good- crispy on the outside. They had a hint of flavor, but needed more. It was great with the apple sauce. The pretzel was fluffy and soft with very delicious cheese! It was so cheesy and had a distinct taste. I think in general our problem was the good was bland. My husband had the chicken sandwich and said it was good- the flavor coming from the burnt parts. I got the beef roast- it was good, but it was slathered in gravy. The carrots and potatoes needed seasoning. My son got the chicken schnitzel. It was soggy. The mashy potatoes had a good texture, but needed seasoning. The spaetzle was also soggy- maybe that's how they are supposed to be? I don't know much about German food, but maybe this is how it's supposed to taste?? We went back a second time and sat in a different room- there were no TVs and the lights were super bright so we got out food to go. The pretzel was just as good. The french onion soup was okay- probably better there. The mozzarella was not was stretchy/stringy as I remember. It also might not have been mozzarella- not sure. We also had a piece of German chocolate cake. It was good. The cake was moist and the cream was thick with coconut and nuts!“

“Danielle was both server and bartender and her professionalism was terrific. She greeted us as we came in, took our order promptly, and kept up with folks at the bar at the same time. She also was managing take out orders. It’s clear she is a hospitality professional. The atmosphere score went down because we miss the shuffleboard. :)“

“Great Food.. Marlie P. was the best server.“

“We had a early lunch supper today 4-25. Our waitress
Manuela G was fantastic!!!!
Very nice, funny! And we never had to ask for anything!
Food was very good. Steaks cooked perfectly! First meal we have had here in a while. This time was really worth it. Even better. No wait to be seated.“

“I have ordered the sandwiches from here for years and they are always consistently fresh and delicious. Highly recommended“

“I had an amazing experience! Kaylee was our server, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. She checked on us at the perfect times, had a great attitude, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Excellent customer service like hers is hard to find.

The food was just as incredible—everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and the portions were generous. Between Kaylee’s outstanding service and the amazing food, this was easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Kaylee again!“

“The food was cooked well, and the staff was amazing. And... they have a touch tunes jukebox!“

“BEST Rueben in town! Great staff! Hannah was our waitress and she was AMAZING! We will be back“

“had they're pizza it's great and the euro sandwich is great“

“Good staff, good food, are the best ingredients for a nice experience! Ty dog haus“

“Great food and great place on the river!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews for fast food but I felt like this one was deserved after seeing their score on google! I stopped by to pick up lunch for my husband and I! My experience was wonderful, the guy that helped me was nice and patient with me since I was trying to figure out what to order my husband. Also, the quality of the sandwiches were the best I’ve had from subway in a while!“

“Felicity is a great Bartender.“

“Delicious✨. My family went there specifically because of the good reviews one of us was reading. I don’t know what site he was using but they were all outstanding, nothing less than a four star. I thought the place was amazing! We were served pretty quickly and the appetizers greatly appeased the wait. The loaded fries and chicken I got was DELICIOUS! I have never eaten anything better ? (I’m not a bot, I swear?). The servers were really nice, especially the guy on the phone when we called to ask about the wait (there was none!) They even pushed enough tables together to have our 19 people sitting at the same table (usually they say 15 people a table, max at other restaurants). I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it??‍♀️. Highly recommend!“

“Shannon and Mandy were great.“
