    Big Creek Distilling is not in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there. It's about fifteen minutes from Dahlonega, but worth the drive. They are fairly new, but they have a nice vibe. We did a tasting which included their gin, white dog whiskey (they called Moonshine), and their Small Batch and Single Barrel bourbons. The bartender was knowledgeable and attentive.

    Not just a distillery--a whole experience. Big Creek Distilling nails it with their bourbon, gin, and moonshine, but what truly sets them apart is the people. The staff makes you feel like a local five minutes after walking in. Special shoutout to Cara, Kyra, and Tyler--college kids who are friendly, knowledgeable, and already showing how hospitality done right can shape incredible futures. You don't just taste here--you connect.

    Nice atmosphere. Have fun games to play. Very big inside and outside. Staff is nice. A couple of tasting options. Their other drinks looked good also.

    Fantastic setting with nice seating indoors and outdoors. Great place to spend the afternoon with friends enjoying bourbon, cocktails and a mocktail.

    Wonderful distillery with indoor and outdoor seating. Cocktails range from $11 to $14 each. The cocktails are wonderful. We tried the mojito, long branch lemonade and blossom cooler. The mojito was my favorite. Distillery also sells bottle of liquor. Attached are photos of the cocktail menu.

    We loved this place so much we planned our weekend getaway just to come back. Went last night and Lauren was behind the bar again! Yay! Also tried out the food truck, Fair on Wheels. This really was a nice truck and the food was awesome. They sold out of empanadas by the time we went, so we hat steak tacos and mozzarella sticks. Both were great. Toward the end of the night a random woman walked up and started talking to my wife at the bar, come to find out, she was the matriarch of the family business, Patricia. We had a great conversation with her about the business and how they want to see it grow and really be a part of the community. It was really nice. We will continue to make this one of our regular stops whenever we are up this way.

    This place while not too big was one of the better ones we have ever been to. The drinks were so delicious & so appealing! If they had more food options we probably would've sat there for hours. We purchased one of the seasonal gin bottles as a gift. Such smooth easy to drink cocktails here. Staff were friendly & had excellent recommendations. On leash Dog friendly outdoor section. So cute.

    So. Good. Truly the best bourbon and gin. The cocktails are craft, absolutely unique, delicious, smooth. The tour is worth it. The staff is fantastic. Absolutely a must visit. This is a place I'd drive out of my way to visit, no question!

    This place seems like it would be amazing if you went when the weather was nice. The day we visited was rainy which meant the inside was pretty busy. It took a while to get service and even longer to tab out. The drinks themselves were tasty though as were the spirits. I just wish we would have had better service and the ability to be outside away from some of the noise. There was a taco food truck there when we visited and the food looked amazing but we had just eaten so we didn't try anything.

    An all ages place, there's an open garage door and food truck with I video of a fireplace on one wall and the game on the other. We had an appointment but there were no tables. Long lines at the bathroom. Our flight was strong over smooth: gin, bourbon and moonshine.

    If I could give this place 4.5 I would, but because it just misses the mark on any warmth, I'm giving it a 4. The cocktails are sublime! We had "The Orchard", "Peach Moon" & a "Pumpkin Spiced Espresso Martini". We also had a tasting (Seasonal Gin, Gold Mine Moonshine, and small batch Bourbon) and the Something Snacky.

    This was the best "tasting visit" we had over a long holiday weekend. It was so good, we went back again! Big Creek has an awesome tasting room and a great outdoor area. There was a food truck on station when we were there Sunday afternoon. The spirits were tasty. I really just came for the bourbon, which was really good. Mix it in a "Smoke on the Mountain" old fashioned, and it's a win! I ended up leaving with a couple bottles. The service in the tasting room was awesome. The bartenders both times were true artists!

    I actually just just walked in to grab a few bottles but pleasantly surprised that they had a bar. Sat down and had one of the best old fashions I've ever had regular and smoky. Also good conversation with some other patrons so overall atmosphere great, service great, definitely recommend you come in for a few drinks.

    Great people, drink menu, and atmosphere. During busy hours, there is also live music and food trucks. What a delight to experience.

    Food: Excellent food and generous portions. The trout…read moresandwich with fries was a standout, and the fried green tomato appetizer paired nicely with the gastrique, greens, and spicy pimento cheese. The burger and tater tots were also very good. The menu offers a wide variety of specialty burgers with plenty of customization options, including grass-fed beef for a small upcharge. Fair prices for the quality and quantity of food--definitely left in a food coma. Service: Service was efficient and the food came out well-prepared. No major issues during the visit. Atmosphere: Located in downtown Dahlonega, making it easy to explore nearby shops and dessert spots before or after your meal. The tavern has a darker, eclectic vibe with artwork, punk music, and a slightly edgy feel. The décor fits the restaurant's origins and personality, though the lighting--including in the restrooms--is quite dim. Parking downtown can be somewhat difficult during busy times.

First off thank you to our server Mattie for taking great care of us throughout our dinning experience. We started off our meal with the Mac and Cheese bites Mattie suggested and they were delicious. Then we moved on to our main courses. I went with the All American Chili Burger and fries that were very good. My better half went for the turkey burger and pasta salad enjoying every bite. We highly recommend you stop in and give this hidden gem a try. No pun intended it was a mining town at one time. The atmosphere was a great local vibe. We will be back.

    We went here during a day trip to Helen, we didn't expect much as so many restaurants in Helen seem…read moreto be the same ol' thing but location was nice and it wasn't super crowded. We started with the Pretzel Bites which were essentially deep fried pieces of pretzels. Not sure who thought to say this was Bavarian style. I'm not entirely sure they were deep fried but they had a very thick batter and tasted similar to say an onion ring batter. Very crunchy even through. We're pescatarian anyway so food is always limited in tourist towns (but far easier to find options in Germany than in Helen). I decided to go with the veggie burger which was a black bean patty from Morningstar. Honestly I like them and we asked before anyway so this was fine with me. The bread was good and the fries were fresh and hot. My wife got the fish platter I think it was called and it was pretty bad. She could eat the fries but not all of the fish. It was heavily deep fried and you could flick it putting a dent in the batter. My son got the fried shrimp which he ate a couple of but then said he was done. My wife tried his and said it was better than the fish platter so had a couple. We went with two friends who shared chicken tenders. They weren't impressed, to me they looked like chicken schnitzel it was so thin. I'm not going to judge quality on chicken though so it may be good? Location and service was the main thing going for it. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, we sat outside and we could watch people float by tubing so people watching was good. The atmosphere at this time during lunch was pretty quiet and chill. I could see it getting packed in the evenings especially for those going out for drinks. Overall I can't say I was surprised by the quality but I hoped I would be wrong. For the cost and quality of food we won't go back.

    My boyfriend and I are still on our road trip and today we decided to stop in Helen, Georgia --…read morethis super charming and historic little German-style town in the mountains. Unfortunately it was raining SO much that we couldn't really walk around and explore the town, so I searched for somewhere close to our hotel to have dinner. We ended up at Bangkok Haus Restaurant and honestly... what a good decision that turned out to be. The restaurant serves Thai food and sushi in this really cozy, relaxing atmosphere, which honestly felt perfect after being stuck in the rain all day. The restaurant itself is super cute inside and beautifully decorated, making it feel warm and welcoming the second you walk in. We decided to go all in on sushi rolls and started with two beers: a Thai Chang beer and a Japanese Asahi. Both were super light, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the sushi. I also ordered a miso soup because honestly... there's just something so comforting about starting dinner with warm miso soup to settle your stomach. For rolls we ordered the Eel Roll, the Lady of Dawn, and the M16 roll. The Eel Roll was rich, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced with that buttery eel texture and eel sauce. The Lady of Dawn roll was super fresh and flavorful with the perfect combination of crunchy and creamy textures. And the M16 roll? SO good. Packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and honestly one of those rolls where every bite tastes different in the best way possible. I later saw online that people rave about the M16 roll too, and now I completely understand why. The service was also super friendly and fast, which we appreciated so much after a long rainy day on the road. Honestly, if you're visiting Helen and want a break from all the German food everywhere, this is SUCH a great option. Amazing sushi, comforting Thai food, good service, and a really beautiful atmosphere.
