I am writing this review so that you will stop into Annette's for some awesome, price friendly, home cooking. When coming from Atlanta up into North Carolina, stopping there is a must do. First of all... You will love their Fried Taters. Big chucks of taters, boiled and fried. YUM. Huge omlet's. Melt in your mouth biscuits. To top it all off, a friendly staff. Forget the big chain restaurants. You will stop at Annette's every time you travel 441. read more

I can't comment on the food, because we lasted less than a minute in this establishment. After seeing the extraordinarily high reviews for Annette's, I was blown away when we walked into a small, grimy looking set from a scary movie. After getting a couple goulish looking glances from the staff and no form of greeting, we took about another 15 steps, spun around and departed. We are now a half mile down the road having a fantastic breakfast where we were warmly greeted by everyone with whom we came in contact. read more

Great portions, prices, and service at this local spot for those traveling through to get to the Smoky Mountains. Hubby's Chicken Philly was made well with extra crispy tots. The kids meal comes with a side so my daughters enjoyed their grilled cheese. The sausage was cooked perfectly with no chewy/hard pieces. The pecan pancakes were huge, I could only finish 1 of 3. They were loaded with pecans. The coconut cake slice was delicious and a perfect way to end the meal. So glad we stopped in. read more

This place is amazing! Great prices and great food. Wonderful people. Glad we stopped in.

Wow... Wow... Wow. Annette's Café is the definition of a hidden gem! My wife and I were heading home from Gatlinburg when we stumbled upon this cozy little spot right off the highway, and we couldn't have found a better place for a warm, home-cooked meal. If you're looking for something local with real down-home cooking, BINGO--this is it! The atmosphere is simple, welcoming, and full of charm, making you feel like you're stepping into a small-town kitchen where everything is made with love. The food was absolutely fantastic, exactly what you'd hope for from a classic country-style café. From perfectly cooked breakfast plates to hearty lunch options, every bite was comforting and full of flavor. Our server was incredibly sweet and made us feel right at home, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're passing through or live nearby, Annette's Café is 100% worth the stop. This is the kind of place that reminds you why small, locally-owned restaurants are so special! read more

The 1 star reviews are your typical stop, look and run opinion based reviews that don't have any sort of merit for such a wonderful establishment. It is staffed by the most amazing people who cook very well given the [uncleanliness] other reviewers noted. Never had a poor bowel movement nor any other sort of issues. It is run and managed splendidly, the food is top notch and the staff are, simply put, the nicest people. I love this place and thoroughly enjoy stopping in every time for a bite to eat whether it be by myself or with the family. I've been to plenty of border towns myself and this, this is a place you need to stop in for a bite! read more

Great country cooking. A pleasant find. Good service and low prices. I love finding 'hole in the wall' diners with great food. We will definitely be back. read more

The place is cute and clean. Our server was sweet and took such good care of us. The food was amazing and hearty. read more

Fast service and good breakfast. Unfortunately our server (who was lovely) was yelled at by other servers and management a few times which really turned us off. The sausage and bacon were delicious but the pancakes were just okay. The restaurant was small but tidy... except for the cookie jar shelf which was covered in dust (kinda gross). Overall we'd go again but we aren't rushing back. read more

We aren't locals, but have a Cabin in Otto. Our entire family 25+ often visits "The Cabin" and Annette's Cafe has been a great find! We love all of the options there and try, to try something new every time. Kaylan is always very sweet! The food and prices are great, therefore we always come back! Today I tried the Blackberry cobbler, and within our first two bites my boyfriend said "I can tell this is homemade" Annette has a fine touch for cooking! read more

The staff didn't seem interested in helping anyone. The place was very cramped. We looked around after no response and went down the street. read more

A friendly, very attentive small town diner type restaurant. Our omelets were excellent and our girls split the Breakfast Special. Very filling and delicious! read more

Good Food, Great prices, Great people. They have a special every day for 10.99 it includes Drink, 1 meat 2 veggies 1 bread and dessert

Very affordable, solid breakfast food. Not the greatest environment but the service was good! Would come back again anytime.

I hate to give one star but the inside was filthy! We went to sit outside and it was a mess, grease boxes everywhere, dirty tables. We moved inside, sat down and the wall along the booth was covered in dirt and grime. Looks like it has never been wiped down. We left without ordering anything. Maybe the food is tasty but we were all pretty freaked out with the general grime and filth. Can only imagine how dirty the kitchen is. Total bummer! Wanted to try it based on the other reviews. Just can't sit and eat when you're looking at a dirty wall. Even the kids were grossed out. Please, clean your restaurant. There's no excuse for those conditions other than a total lack of caring. Close down for a couple days and clean it top to bottom. Take pride in your establishment. We'd be more than happy to actually eat there. read more

Hole in the wall definitely worth finding. My daughter and I really enjoyed our breakfast. I had an omelette and she had a biscuit. So. Much. Food. read more

Annette's Cafe - Amazing and abundant breakfast. 10/10 recommend. - American Near Me - Dillard, Georgia

Such a cute little stop. Food portions were huge and homemade, which makes it so much better. Try the sausage if you're in for breakfast. The servers are incredibly friendly with smiles always. Will be coming back!! read more

The food was delicious country homestyle cooking and the price was lower than anywhere around. I got a biscuit with fried chicken breast and added honey and my husband had scrambled eggs, sausage, and fried potatoes. read more

Big portions so bring an appetite. Great value. Very kind staff. The pancakes are absolutely massive and delicious.

On our second time camping in Dillard, we tried another spot last time, it was good but wanted to give somewhere else a try. After reading the Yelp reviews, decided to give Annnette's a try and we were not disappointed. I've always enjoyed a hamburger steak / chopped sirloin and eggs and when my wife pointed it out on the menu, had to give it a try. Eggs were cooked perfectly, the taters, were great, my wife's corned beef hash was the best she's had in a long time. Very attentive staff as well (I hate when my glass gets empty, never happened here). read more

Annette's Cafe - Taters, over medium eggs (cooked perfectly), chopped steak, corned beef hash, pancakes and sausage. - American Near Me - Dillard, Georgia

Nice friendly diner with lots of homey options. Prices are great, especially for the blue plate special. The fried squash and green beans were exceptional. The fish and mashed potatoes were on the salty side. Lots of dessert options as well. This is a great local place to stop by if you are in the area. The employees are nice and work hard too. read more

We stopped in for a quick breakfast, and loved it so much we came back twice. Simple menu of home style cooking. Fantastic food, and the server is as sweet as can be. read more

Good food and lots of it!! We will definitely be back! Service is great, people are very nice!!

What a hidden treasure! No big flashy billboard or sign so you have to keep your eyes open. Love finding restaurants like this one on Yelp. Portions are perfect, you won't leave hungry nor will you leave with leftovers. This has to be the best breakfast in town! Biscuits hot and fresh (almost as good as my momma's ), eggs prepared to perfection, grits were simple but delicious and the bacon and ham tasted like it came from a local farm. Since life is short we got chocolate pie after breakfast, great choice! Clean restrooms! Make sure you stop at Annette's Cafe! read more

Annette's Cafe - Saw this sign in the restaurant, speaks to my soul - American Near Me - Dillard, Georgia

this is a wonderful example of "local color" in Rabun County...we've only done breakfast, but plan to be regulars...service is great! love the "taters"! read more

Wife and I had bacon/ cheese/ onion/ pepper omelettes with grits, toast and coffee. Delicious and plentiful!! Wish I had taken a picture of the food but we cleaned our plates!!! read more

Wonderful little place. Hometown cooking. Our waitress, Kaylin was very accommodating. The food was cooked to perfection. Great omelettes! This is where the locals come to eat. Prices were surprisingly low, considering the area. The house blend coffee was very tasty. Kennith was a very nice host. I would come back the next time I am in Dillard, Georgia. Please note: not open on Tuesday or Wednesday. Breakfast served all day! read more

The food was very good and the service was friendly and just an overall enjoyable meal

In search of a late breakfast for my wife and me this morning, I spotted Annette's "breakfast & brunch" description and 5-star Yelp rating and decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is "folksy, down-home diner." Both of us ordered omelets, and were highly satisfied with what we got. The ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful, especially the locally-made sausage (which we agreed was the best-tasting sausage we'd eaten in many a year; the brand is available in local grocery stores). The biscuits were of the extra-large variety (probably to accommodate the breakfast sandwiches on their menu). In my experience, biscuits that size tend to have doughy centers, which Annette's managed to avoid. Their flavor, while a little bland, was still about average (so not bad, but not the highlight of the meal). The grits were done just the way we like them--neither runny nor over-cooked and dry. I'd definitely recommend Annette's for an above-average breakfast at a reasonable price. Be aware that they have a full lunch menu, so you're not restricted to a standard brunch selection. read more

Fantastic food and wonderful service. Great fried taters, sausage and homemade biscuits.

Missed them for lunch on our first day in town but made up for it wn home cooking eatery with no pretentiousnesswith breakfast AND lunch on day two of our three day stay. This place is an old-school do. I scouted it online Pre-Trip as I was looking for a place,or places,that were carrying on the traditional culinary art that Rabun County had long been famed for ( i.e. the 100yr old Dillard House, and cooks like Bertha Ramey,and Louise Coldren). Annette's comes REAL close at bargain prices. I suspect the menu is pretty much farm-to-table without bragging on it. Hand pattied sausage at breakfast, hand cut fries and (suspected) homemade stewed tomatoes at lunch all point to a personal touch. Not surprisingly the place seems mostly favored by locals. Surprisingly the prices shown in the pictured website menu noted "posted 5+years ago" are the SAME prices we paid for our meals! Service is attentive and friendly . While there's nothing about Annette's that made me say "Wow" there was nothing that disappointed in the least. Personal standout for me was the Country Fried Steak. especially the Sawmill gravy. Don't pass this hidden gem up read more

This is a hidden gem! My friend who lives in the neighborhood didn't even know it existed. I found it using Yelp. You can't see it very well from the street either. It's located next to an antique store. You have to get out of your car and walk up to the door to see the sign. It's a diner from yesteryear in terms of ambience. The food is Traditional American and so delicious! It reminds you of your family's southern cooking. I had an omelette with vegetables and cheddar cheese--I was impressed with the number of cheeses they offer--some of the best hashbrowns I've ever had and a delicious huge, buttermilk biscuit! The service is down home, no frills and attentive. My friend and I are so thankful to have discovered this great place for breakfast. We will be back! read more

We did take out during the lockdown and it was a ton of food, I had catfish and it was really well done. we actually had a meal for 2 days as it was too much to finish, the pie was killer too. Annette's is at the corner of a strip shopping center on 441 and you have to be watching or you could miss it, but it's worth the trip if you have a taste for some good comfort food. read more

Great little local place. Homemade good breakfast and large portions. It's obvious they have regulars. Check out if in town. Loved the pecan pancakes and grilled potatoes. It is Open on SUNDAY. read more

A hidden gem right off the main road. I stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the vegetable soup and a grilled cheese. Staff were all very friendly! Will go back next time I'm in the area. read more

Great place to stop for a bite! We had a burger, BLT, and blue plate. All were great and great price! Fries are homemade and so yummy.

Oh, my goodness. Stopped for a late breakfast on Memorial Day; best we've had in a really long time. Good honest Southern food. Great biscuits, perfectly cooked eggs, the world's best home fries (called 'tators' on the menu). 'City ham', less salty than country, was expertly grilled. Old-fashioned prices, too. Come & eat!! read more

Great southern fare and just as great southern service. We stopped in for a late lunch and were surprised at how wonderful this spot was, breakfast served all day and amazing prices to go right long with it. We will be back many times over. read more
