This was close to our rooms and not normally what we seek out in Helen, but I'm glad we stopped. Spacious. Lots o' wood. Good selection of beers. Full, but didn't feel packed.

We had the opportunity to visit Bigg Daddy's recently and quite enjoyed the time we spent there. We…read morehad checked into the hotel next door, and looking around at various places decided that was going to be the place to go for dinner... everything else had long lines and we were not in the mood for that sort of thing, and having the hotel right next door meant we could eat and just walk back to the hotel. It was a Tuesday night, which turned out to be wing night with wings that were a reasonable price. I also went for the fish and chips, which were fair. The wings were quite tasty, and they have a decent variety of sauce flavors to choose from which is a good thing. I also went for the street corn, which was excellent. We were sitting out on the porch, and the weather was good. Noise was kept to a minimum so we were able to talk without having to shout, which I consider to always be a good thing. The food was good, our wait staff were decent, and we were very happy with our experience. If we are in the area again, we would certainly return.

The food was delicious and hit the spot. My server was fantastic and didn't leave me hanging long after my meal. I appreciate a quick check delivery, especially having a pup out in the heat. They have parking across the street but you can't stay there to walk around town. This a nice spot to go for a meal.

If you're looking for authentic German food with an amazing river view, this is the place…read more I went with four friends and, as always, it was an amazing experience. This was my fourth time here, and I always bring someone new and everyone always leaves impressed. We ordered the Schweinehaxe, a traditional German dish, and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. It's definitely something I always go for when I visit because it's a must-try here. One of my friends was seriously impressed. We also had the mashed potatoes, which were very tasty, and one of my friends ordered the meatloaf and loved it. Overall, the food is very authentic, with plenty of traditional German options to choose from. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. There was even live music, which made the experience even better. Another highlight is the view, the restaurant sits right by the river, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place. It's definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to and want to bring new people to.

What a disappointing pick for my last night in town. Looking for a spot that was open during a…read moreweekday and allowed pets, I picked Alpine Brew Deck as there weren't many options available on a Tuesday. I am glad they allow pets, and was thankful for a spot for my pup and I to eat. That was about all that was good about Alpine. I had to ask the server for a dog water bowl. They did have one available but unlike other restaurants nearby I had to ask. I ordered the cod and chips. The food came out hot at least, but was barely edible. I took one bite of the coleslaw and it tasted off. The fries were a weird doughy consistency inside and yet crunchy and brown on the outside. The fish was the only thing I ate and that is because I was hungry. It looked like it was pulled frozen out of a box and heated up. So sad this was the last meal in town after such a good trip otherwise.

We ended up seeking it out b/c we wanted to watch college football. They have solid indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is right by the river. On the indoor side you have a very small bar but plenty of TVs around the establishment. The food is fine but nothing terribly special. But they do have a fair amount of beer on tap. The overall experience is solid. We were able to watch football, eat and drink beer. I suspect I will end up back here the next time I visit Helen. I'd suggest swinging by if you get the chance.

The burger was so dry it could have been made of dust. I ate about half of it, because I'm a man, and that's what we do...maybe it's dry on the outside, maybe the next bite is acceptable...nope not this time. My girlfriend had the Ruben. Tasted like nothing. You'd think you can't mess up a Reuben. Well, I was wrong. Meat tastes like newspaper. Also got some jalapenos poppers. Also gross. I've had frozen ones that are better. Only edible things were the pickle and ranch dressing. It's a shame because the ambience is SICK. The staff seemed to know it was bad. Don't go here
