35 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Sautee Nacoochee

“I completely fell in love with this cabin. It had everything we needed, and the place felt like a dream. From the moment we arrived, the lady who welcomed us was incredibly kind and charismatic, taking the time to explain everything to us in a friendly and warm manner.

The Wi-Fi didn’t work very well, but it turned out to be a blessing as it allowed us to fully disconnect from the city and immerse ourselves in the surroundings. The area is absolutely beautiful, perfect for connecting with nature.

The cabin was well-equipped, although I think it could use a frying pan and a pot to make full use of the electric stove, and I’d recommend adding a hairdryer in the bathroom. Other than that, everything was perfect. One detail we loved was finding blankets in the living room to use while sitting by the fire pit.

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy nature and stay just 10 minutes from the town of Helen, I highly recommend this cabin!“

“Amazing coffee and delicious food in a charming setting. We’ll definitely be back when we pass by again.“

“Great staff from the front and back. Great food. Great people 5 star food 5 star people“

“Getting back to our annual trips in the Northern Georgia mountains serenity cellars is a must. We enjoy a nice bottle of Dolce Bello on Christmas Eve for the last 10 years. Michaela has been helping us for many years now she’s always such a pleasure.“

“Food was good but not as good as all the reviews I read. I had the Gumbo, a 7. Had the crawfish tails, not Spicy, a 7.
Had the etouffee, the rice was helard and crunchy, a 7. It did have a little kick but not enough you would think it was Cajun. All in all it was ok, not going back. Overall Score a 7. Don't take my word for it, though, go try it for yourself. I know several friends that love it. 🍤🍤🍤“

“We came late and were not rushed out. Staff was really nice and even offered us water as we waited for storm to pass sitting on their deck. Red Curry Todd cooked was amazing!“

“I love the food. Everything is always delicious. The service is great. Our server was Alex and he made everyone laugh. We will be back!!“

“Great ice cream and lots of fun.“

“We went for the first time today. This place is great! The brisket was incredible! The owners are really nice too.“

“The view is incredible! Blue ridge mountains in the background. We’ve been here during the hot season and cold season, they’re both beautiful in their own way. Summer greenery and grapes are special ofcourse. You can bring your own snacks or food to munch on, get wine sampler or bottles from there or use the food truck to order few meals. The bathrooms are clean. Come with beautiful outfits for the photos and bring comfortable shoes for later to take a walk in the vineyard.
Scarf/jacket for the fall/winter is needed. Outdoor ceiling fans help the heat.“

“We conclude our weekend with a visit to number 16, a serene venue nestled along a scenic road reminiscent of a neighborhood street. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a tastefully appointed tasting room overlooking a picturesque vineyard. The establishment boasts an impressive selection of wines and slushies, as well as beers and sodas for those who prefer alternative beverages. To complement their offerings, a bread and olive oil dish is provided, and charcuterie boards are available for purchase to enhance the overall experience. Fortunately, we visited during a quiet period, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful conversation with the owner and a friendly bartender in the comfort of the indoor seating area. Additionally, a nearby Vrbo property within walking distance caught our attention, and we intend to explore this option further.“

“Delicious food, and friendly atmosphere!“

“Awesome spot ! Lots of choices!! Great atmosphere!!“

“We went during lunch on a Tuesday when hours are limited but I was highly impressed with how fast our food came out especially with how busy they were! I haven’t been to this place in years due to the distance it is from us but we will make it a point to come back!“

“Chicken salad really tastes like chicken and the perfect piemento cheese on sourdough bread was delicious! Thanks, Chef!“

“Edit: Collateral is back in stock. Yes it took a while and the quit saying it would be in next week. They also fixed their special on Tuesday to another drink. Thank you NOFO for the fix.

I stopped by hoping to finally get a glass of Collateral, but unfortunately, it’s still out. It’s been unavailable since the end of June. I saw a previous review mention the same issue, and the owners responded that the wall was fully stocked on Sunday (8/3/2025). I came in on Tuesday when they opened back up for the week, hoping that meant Collateral would be back—but no luck. Quite the letdown for a $6 pint I’ve been looking forward to! Come on NOFO Cleveland do better.“

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

“Some of the best people I’ve ever met. Working there was an amazing experience and they have hands down the best pizza around. Definitely recommend stopping in during your visits!!!“

“Hands down the best pizza in the area, maybe the state. I havent eaten anything there that i didnt like.Staff is friendly and courteous. Prices are very reasonable. We try to eat there at least once a week.“

“The service is okay, could be better. I don't choose this place as Often as I did before. Only one guy said hello and asked questions about your choices on sandwiches. The young lady was not helpful at all. She kept trying to rush me when I was talking to the professiona, your man, about my topping choices. I purchased 4 giant sandwiches it didn't take much time for him to prepare the meals.She has no customer service skills at all.“

“Chris recommended beer and food that was all super delicious. They brought out garnished hotdogs and water for our pups. Everything was wonderful!“

“We ate here twice while visiting Helen, GA. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food is amazing. The corned beef hash was the best I have ever eaten. The biscuits and gravy were awesome as well. Highly recommend.“

“I highly recommend this place; incredible service, generous portions, the wings were massive and delicious, priced great compared to other spots on the strip. This will be my go 2 spot when I visit from here on out. The best part, they take care of BIKERS! Love this place, thank you!“

“the food was different but good! I got the duck and loved it!“

“DELISH. Had the pretzel (with beer cheese) flown in from Munich -- amazing! Onion soup was surprisingly delicious as well as the Reuben and homemade potato salad (not pictured). EXCELLENT food and great service. Will come again next time we visit!!“

“After spending way too long waiting for the alpine coaster, we were desperate for a pretzel. The place around the corner from here that doesn't have any posted hours had apparently just closed. With a tired kid and no other options between us and our car, it looked like we were out of luck. Bodensee was right next to us, but it was closed. However, diners were still being served, and a guy was oomping on a tuba outside. My wife suggested asking if we were too late for a pretzel to go. I walked in and asked a server (whose name I didn't get), and she was more than happy to help. After I placed my order, another kind woman (Manager? Owner? She seemed to be in charge, in any case) invited us to stay and eat, though they were officially closed. We declined, as we just wanted our pretzel, but I truly appreciated the gesture. (This was the evening of July 5, a very busy Saturday for everyone in Helen.)

Lemme tell you: This pretzel was fantastic. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and huge. The beer cheese was exactly what we were expecting (i.e., delicious), but I might have actually liked the mustard more. I don't know what was in it, but something sweet balanced out the sharpness and spice. I could eat it with a spoon.

We didn't get to have a proper meal here, but we'll be sure to correct that next time we're in town.“

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

“Great food and great place on the river!“

“Awesome environment, pet friendly and Sara is awesome. I highly recommend. The beer cheese dip is amazing.“

“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!“
