“Been here soooo many times and has been great each time except today when I try something new, delux chicken sandwich it was kinda terrible just the chicken was nasty I ended up just eating the veggies off the sandwich and the fries which were killer sooo good. Wish I got a burger instead“

“I hadn't been to an Applebee's in over 10 years & was pleasantly surprised at the taste of our food and the service with a smile we received. All our dinner plates and appetizers came out hot , fresh and was really very tasty! It made the slight wait worth it as we did not have to send anything back. Adding all of this together with the price and it made for a very nice experience. Hats off to the chef last Saturday.“

Then came the Tinga Nachos, loaded with toppings and Chicken Wings — crispy, saucy, and definitely a must for wing lovers. And for my main, I went with the Hibachi Chicken Bowl — a hearty bowl with that delicious hibachi-style flavor.“

It’s usually a yearly birthday thing also. I appreciate his use of fresh local ingredients and his support of local growers. We can all pay it forward when we start with the best ingredients and intentions. It’s a good thing…..“

“Very delicious. and very clean.“

“This place is excellent! The service is outstanding, and the food quality truly stands out. I’ve tried wings, burgers, and fried rice from many different places, and these were among the best—flavorful without being oily.
The chicken wings are especially impressive: very fresh (they use fresh wings, not frozen), perfectly cooked, and well-balanced—not overly salty or over-fried. They’re tender, flavorful, and done just right.
Highly recommended!!!!!“

“Servers are gorgeous“

“Long time patrons of Pigtails on Lake Lanier. Great vibe and atmosphere, menu has a wide variety of good eats, and the servers and bartenders are always fun, energetic and hustling. Brook waited on us last night for dinner at the bar and we had a great time hanging out with her. Love a server that adds to the fun factor! Thanks Brook! ❤“

“The food was excellent. Several of us had mahi tacos, I believe it was. Everyone enjoyed the food. Atmosphere was good. Not too hot right now, but I could see it being a bit uncomfortably hot during the summer with it being such an open restaurant. Our waiter was Stephen was he was great, refilled drinks routinely, service was good. Definitely will be back next time I go to Lake Lanier.“

“We are so excited that the Covington location at the Town Center is now open!!! The WNB food truck catered our daughter’s graduation party in May. We’re so glad to have a brick & mortar location in Covington!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.“

“Edith, our server, gives outstanding service. She is extremely personable and entertaining as well as a good server.“

“Wings were on point. Crispy, spicy and tangy. The Gyro had plenty of meat and enough of veggies and sauce. The fries were nice and crispy but soft inside. Everything was hot & fresh and full of flavor. I have ate at this food court many times but was always curious to try this place out, and let me tell you it didn't dissapoint! I very much enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back.“

Definitely worth checking out!“

“The food here is always excellent. I am a repeated customer I have not had a bad dish yet. My favorite dish is the eggs christopher its the best Benedict around. Grits are always good, avacado is fresh. The servers are always nice and attentive.“

“I was passing through Flowery Branch and stopped in to see my friends Warren and Arlene Johnson. WJ, a many‑time world champion in NHRA Pro Stock, had me swing by the shop later in the evening. When dinner time rolled around, they suggested Crossroads Bar and Grill — and I had no idea I was about to discover a gem. We pulled up on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. Anyone who knows restaurants understands what that means: if a place is busy mid‑week, it’s because the food is worth showing up for. The moment we walked in, the owner greeted us personally. WJ and Arlene clearly have a “usual booth,” and it felt like it was waiting for them. Our waiter, Greg, was the kind of professional you’d expect in a high‑end dining room — personable, sharp, and already on top of their standard drink order. When it came time for me to order, I asked Greg what he recommended. He didn’t miss a beat. The ribs he brought out were phenomenal — and I’m from Texas, where ribs are practically a religion. These rivaled the best you’ll find anywhere in my home state, which is not praise I give lightly. Then came a surprise: fresh‑cut parmesan, sliced right off the block and served as a sample. Simple, but outstanding. A quick trip to the restroom gave me a look at the full dining room — a well‑trained staff moving with purpose, keeping a busy house happy. On the wall of patron photos, one stood out: Warren “WJ” Johnson himself, The Professor of NHRA Pro Stock, proudly displayed. If Crossroads were competing for an NHRA Wally, they’d earn it. This place is now my go‑to whenever I’m in the area.“

“Had the Smash Burger at Ted’s and it was just exceptional. Opted for the Beef and it was juicy, flavorful, with a fantastic bun. 2 thumbs way up!!“

“Met a friend here for drinks and food at the bar. The bartender, Daniel, was a pleasure. He shook our hands, was very attentive and made great drinks. I was surprised how busy the location was on a Wednesday evening. Getting just a salad with chicken was pretty slow.“

“This is a awesome restaurant, BBQ Brisket, Sausage, Chicken are phenomenal but that damn cobbler will take you straight to my Mama's kitchen in 1979. As the oool kids say nowadays OMG Good!

The management deserves 5 stars too for hiring such wonderful staff. We appreciated them as much as the food, smiles everywhere.“

“Five stars for Yenifer (Jennifer)! I placed a takeout order at Bitemore, and she was absolutely amazing. She went out of her way to update me on all the ongoing deals and patiently helped me navigate the app to get the best value. She was so sweet, helpful, and ensured my entire order was perfect.“

“Great service, food is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is very clean and definitely can relax and have some amazing food“

“The best BBQ, brisket, and chicken I’ve had in as many years as I can think. Their slaw and Mac-n-cheese was spot-on as well. Very friendly folks with fast service. Prices are reasonable.“

“Great little spot and very fast service. Got the bacon double cheese burger and it was very, very good! Best part, it was cheaper than some crappy Ronald M burger! Been here twice and it was great both times. Gotta try their breakfast next!“

“Fantastic diner. Near my office so we frequent frequently.“

“Outstanding Food and Overall Experience! - Reservation for 8 to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday (4:30 on a Friday). We almost changed our mind, because we learned my oldest daughter and her hubby had a bad experience at this restaurant in 2021. So glad we gave it another chance. Restaurant is under new management, and it shows! From the greeters at the door with smiles making a first impression, to a personable, attentive server (LeLe), excellent food and engagement by the manager being visible and interacting with guests - it was well worth our time. Total enjoyment! Our group had the snapper, salmon, shrimp & grits, catfish and one vegetarian who made a meal from the sides. Food was beautifully plated and presented and everything was hot & fresh, well seasoned and tasted great. Generous portions too. We also had the bourbon glazed brussels, skillet cornbread and the sticky ribs as appetizers. HIGHLY recommend the brussels and the ribs!! It was the first day testing the ribs, so you may have to ask for them, if they're not on the menu yet. Appreciated the free birthday dessert! If you had a previous bad experience over the last couple of years, you may want to try again. The new manager has the right attitude and a good vision for setting a new standard for The Parkside District. Keep it up! We will definitely visit again. We are glad to recommend the restaurant!“
