    Beignets
    Sandra Q.

    We wanted to try somewhere new, so we browsed Yelp and decided on this café. Street parking was limited, but there's a decent parking behind the restaurant, which was convenient. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a very pink, cozy interior -- cute and inviting. The café does get busy, so expect some hustle and bustle. Menu-wise, the selection felt limited compared to what we're used to. We started with the beignets, but unfortunately they were too dense and tough for our liking. The chocolate sauce didn't add much flavor either. For our mains, I ordered the Hopewell Farm grass-fed burger with pimento cheese, and my husband had the buttermilk pancakes. The burger was delicious -- the pimento cheese really elevated it. The horseradish is made in-house which was creamy and delicious...coming from someone who does not like horseradish. The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and very filling. Overall, the food was good and flavorful. Service was fine -- friendly but nothing remarkable. It's a cute spot to try once, especially if you like a photo-worthy atmosphere, but it probably wouldn't be our regular go-to.

    What a super cute place ! Great for non vegans ! Definitely wished it was more diverse with vegan options ...in their menu! The service was friendly and quick! The food was amazing and they do have a variety of options for alcoholic drinks as well as non alcoholic beverages. Super cute spot will be coming back when in Georgia!

    Server was so polite and professional as it was our first time, we had lots of questions. The ambiance was relaxing with happy customers! The blueberry pancakes were absolutely the best I have ever had. My husband ordered the classic eggs and the roasted potatoes were huge! Took some home and they were just as delicious the next day. We will return!

    Avocado Toast on Gluten-free Bread with Potatoes

    This is a fabulous little place on Main Street. The decor is a little cutesy - definitely will be a favorite with women - but the food is delicious and done well. Service was also good. We came during off hours as we traveled the area. I recommend you try this place. Let me know what you think.

    Biscuit with House made berry jam
    Paula M.

    This was our first time here and the food at Caroline's was delicious and definitely a 5 star rating. The interior was super cute and clean. It's girly with lots of pink but has a chic cafe feel on an adorable little town square. The service was the one area that was lacking and why the 4 stars. The Good: The food was great. It was fresh and prepared very well. The avocado toast had tons of flavor, the bacon was perfectly cooked, the potatoes were crisp in the outside and soft on the inside, the sourdough toast was very good and the biscuit and the house made jam was on point. The Ehhh: We were seated immediately, which was great, but then we were forgotten. We sat there for about 15 minutes before anyone recognized that we had not been approached by a server. The place is pretty small inside and there was a ton of staff working so that should not have been the case. Once we were served, the server really didn't follow back up with us, even knowing that we were missed in the beginning. As someone who has done that job, that's definitely not the way to course correct. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that this is not the norm and see how the service is the next time we go. I would definitely recommend that you go and check them out.

    Fried chicken sandwich (had it grilled tho)

    Great food, great service, great ambiance. I look forward to another visit when I can try more of the delicious sounding items on the menu!

    Fried Chicken & Bourbon Waffle
    Raul G.

    Caroline's in downtown Flowery Branch is a gem that deserves all the love. I've been a few times now, and every single visit has been consistent, fresh, flavorful, and just impressive from start to finish. The location is right in the heart of downtown Flowery Branch, which has been growing fast and becoming a really cute, walkable area. Parking has never been a problem for me--though I typically visit during non-peak hours--but I can imagine it gets busier during prime brunch time. Still, it's worth the effort. The inside of Caroline's is honestly adorable. It has a charm and comfort that feels inviting right away. Great lighting, tasteful art, and very comfortable chairs (I appreciate that as a bigger guy). It feels thoughtful--like someone took their time designing a space that people would actually want to spend time in. Whether you're there with a significant other, family, or friends, it's just a great environment to enjoy a slow, delicious morning. Let's talk food. The menu is tight, and that's a great thing. It's clear they focus on a handful of items and knock them out of the park. Everything I've tried so far has been excellent. My wife can't get enough of their TK Sandwich: grilled sourdough, lettuce, tomato, Dunes mayo, white cheddar, bacon, egg, and she always adds avocado. It's balanced, fresh, and that grilled sourdough is crispy perfection. My first visit, I had their fried chicken & bourbon waffle with bacon jam, brown butter farm egg, maple syrup, and hot sauce foam (don't worry, it's flavorful--not spicy). I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best chicken and waffles I've had. The waffle is soft with just the right hint of sweetness, the chicken is tender and perfectly fried with a thin, crispy crust, and the bacon jam + syrup combo is just magic. Then came the sweet section. They serve a butter-fried banana bread topped with whipped cream, maple syrup, and fleur de sel. I'm a banana bread fan to begin with, but this is next level. It's the first time I've ever had it fried like this, and it was so good I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing before my meal. A must-try. On another visit, I tried their fried chicken sandwich--and let me tell you, it's the best chicken breakfast sandwich I've had in the area. Pimento cheese, bacon, Alabama white BBQ, and green tomato chow chow on a grilled brioche bun. It all came together perfectly. Now, the sides. The crispy potatoes are absolutely incredible. Golden, flavorful, soft inside with a perfect crisp outside--not too crunchy, just right. I forgot to order them the second time and got fries instead, and I was a little bummed... until I tasted the fries. Turns out, Caroline's also makes some of the best fries around. Flavorful, crispy, not greasy--just delicious. Caroline's has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots. Everything is made with care, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the food is consistently amazing. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend stopping by, supporting local, and giving them a well-earned shoutout. I'll definitely be back (again and again).

    First time feels!

    Classy! Stylish. Pink walls! Just so unexpected for little ole downtown Flowery Branch, GA. And yet, EXACTLY what Flowery Branch needs! Breakfast with a dear friend was just as perfect as the meal. Waitress was patient yet attentive. Potatoes crispy. Avocado toast spicy and satisfying. We'll definitely be back!

    Bourbon pecan waffle
    Kelsi H.

    Be prepared to wait! But it's worth it. We got there around 11 on a Saturday and it was about an hour wait. Luckily our group had a LOT to catch up on, so we didn't mind it. The food was good! We started with a bourbon pecan waffle for the table. Everyone got a few bites and it was so yummy. I ordered the fried chicken pimento sandwich for my meal. It was HUGE. And so good. The fries were okay, but could have used a little more salt in my opinion. Overall a great new addition to Flowery Branch. I can't wait to come back and try other items.

    Berry Prosciutto sandwich (think monte cristo) Sweet and savory
    Sandra P.

    Came here on opening day because we live close by And we love Antebellum! We are so excited to have a brunch spot and it does not disappoint! The aesthetic is something right out of sex in the city vibes, pink walls, gold and white accents- it was too crowded to take pictures today but you'll have to trust me on this. Unfortunately today they were out of many menu items but it's understandable and our second choices were very good. We didn't have any adult beverages today but the menu looks fun! Our server was very attentive and helpful. There a few tables outside as an option on a nice day but parking is a little scarce. Be prepared to walk a block or two however its free to park downtown here.

    Pork Special
    Denise N.

    A very charming and busy place. The food is amazing. The banana bread was warm and delightful with the extra fluffy side of cream and syrup. Perfect! The Berry and Prosciutto sandwich was such a lovely balance of sweet and savory. The best combination. Not to mention the salty vinegar fries. Even the Pork Belly sandwich special killed it! I'm so thrilled to have another amazing place to eat in the area. Friendly and warm interior. Do yourself a favor and go!

    Brunch burger, vanilla latte and banana bread
    Taylor M.

    Caroline's might just be my new brunch obsession. The toasted banana bread? Life-changing. The burger? A masterpiece- pimento cheese, bacon, Chipotle BBQ sauce, mixed greens and peppers all living in perfect harmony. Mine was more well done than I like and the bun was a bit toasty, so l'd suggest ordering it medium for the best experience. The service was top-notch, and as a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I have to say-the vanilla latte was chef's kiss. 10/10, would happily brunch here every weekend.

    The cook on these potatoes was fantastic

    Great food and an even better atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fantastic and came out quickly…read more The owner was kind enough to sit with us and talk BBQ while we ate, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend stopping in for the "meat sweats" if you're ever in the Flowery Branch area.

I live pretty far away so when I'm in Buford, I like to take a trip up to Flowery Branch to hit one of the of the cute little restaurants in the area and this week I tried Whistle Q for the first time. I am sure they are a direct competitor of Moonies which is also good, however, completely different vibes and dining rooms. Whistle Q is a great date or friends & family place. They offer patio or inside dining. Very casual yet very nice. Moonies is more of a carry out type spot or maybe work buddies joint. Extra casual - rustic but I love their BBQ sauce station at Moonies. The attached photos are an afterthought and a day later - refrigerated. I am so sorry - I didn't take photos when I arrived home to see the beautiful array of food from Whistle Q. While I initially thought it was kind of expensive, when unboxing everything and seeing how far it all goes...it's not expensive for the quality or quantity. The sides are 8 oz cups fully packed - shareable when you have a variety. We bought ... - 3/4 lb beef brisket (beautiful bark - excellent flavor - perfect texture) - BBQ Pork sandwich which I thought was pricy for $17. It has so much meat it literally makes three bbq sandwiches - so that is a great deal! The photo shown had a full portion of pork removed for another sandwich (buy a pack of buns from Publix!) - Coleslaw (mayo base) - Collard Greens (the most perfect seasoning I didn't even bother adding my hot pepper vinegar) - Mac & Cheese - Beef Tallow Fries - (delicious! oh my I'm glad I tried them when fresh and crispy - they don't travel well and arrive home soggy) What did we love? EVERYTHING! We are very impressed with the beef brisket and pulled pork and I love all the sides. I am dying to try their chili cheese fries when I can stay and dine in. The ONLY tip / suggestion I have is to get better to go bags - they use plastic bags that don't hold form and they leak - I recommend for ToGo you carry a grocery bag or something with a flat surface to keep the juices from leaking out. One other thing - if someone does not care for pickled onions or pickles - request to pack them separately as the liquid does bleed into your brisket and sandwich.

I'd calmly mentioned, "We almost left & that we're glad you came when you did." She apologized responded that she will put us ahead in the stack of orders to make up for lost time & we were grateful. Alexis kept our glasses of tea full & so kudos to her for taking care of us. On another matter that same night, We witnessed an extremely LOUD & drunk customer ordering double whiskeys every 10 - 15 minutes. It was obvious he'd been drinking heavily before we arrived at our table close to the bar. The drunk was getting louder & careless with his words & actions as we were finishing our dinner. There were young children in the booth behind us and young teens across the room. Regarding the drunk... 1. Loudly threw his phone on the bar landing a few feet from where he sat. 2. Yelling at a stranger about 5 or 6 stools away telling him, "HEY!!! Yer NOT allowed to talk on the phone!!!" while demanding a scene. 3. Multiple times bouncing off other bar stools like a bowling ball hitting pins trying to stay balanced. 4. Swearing loud enough that children at other tables could hear him. 5. Spent about 10 minutes in the bathroom while girlfriend & bartender checked up on his whereabouts. 6. Throwing up & spitting on the bar where he was seated. After he spit / threw up at the bar, the bartender pulled out a rag from his back pocket along with another from behind the bar area & wiped off the bar spreading whatever was regurgitated. Never once did I witness germ or contamination spray being applied to decontaminate the bar area safely. I also did not witness him washing his hands after cleaning up the mess. Long before the drunk customer did whatever he did in the bathroom, the bartender should have STOPPED serving him double after double after double... Instead, the bartender was singing with the drunk while continuing to serve the drunk. I thank Alexis for serving us but we won't be back. There's other classy bars & eating establishments but this isn't one of them. Almost forgot... when we sat down, there was silverware on the floor at our feet. I wish I didn't forget my phone at home because I would have added pictures & video with this report.

The new karaoke host (KJ) is doing an excellent job, and the atmosphere was fun and enjoyable throughout the night. However, the experience took a negative turn at the end of the evening. As we were preparing to leave, the assistant manager or manager, Ali, was unexpectedly rude and aggressive in trying to get us out of the establishment. Our group was already making an effort to leave respectfully and safely, as we were coordinating rides home after enjoying the night. I completely understand the need to close down and allow staff to finish their work and go home. That said, the level of pushiness and unprofessionalism displayed was unnecessary and disappointing, especially after such a positive experience earlier in the evening. I do not believe this reflects the overall quality of the staff or how Branch House is typically run. It felt like an isolated incident involving one individual rather than the establishment as a whole. Ali needs to be addressed.
