Some of them are harder than others to drive to from 400 depending on your direction. Lucky for me today I was headed north so Freddy's was an easy stop off. I went inside rather then drive thru because I needed to use the restroom. The restroom was tidy and clean. The restaurant is decorated with photos and such from the history of Freddy's these were interesting to look at while waiting for my food. I walked up to the counter to order, the person was nice and helpful explaining menu items. There are way more things on the menu than I was ready to try today. I went for the regular cheese burger meal. The burger was two crispy thin patties, two slices of cheese, pickles, onions, mustard. It was pretty good but salty. Fries were the delicious thin kind but could have been more crispy. It is the serene your own beverage station with diet Dr Pepper so that's great! The catsup pump was empty so the counter guy gave me some to go catsup packs. I decided to eat in my car because wanted to get going quickly. Overall it was a good experience and I will try again.

The employees were pleasant and prompt in their service. After placing our order, we looked for a table. There were a few occupied. There also were a few that needed to be wiped down. So we selected one of the remaining options. The food came out quickly. He took a bite and was immediately impressed. I noticed that my burger was wrong and had to take it back to be redone. They were apologetic about the mistake and worked quickly to fix it. Once I got the correct burger, I was able to finally get a taste. It was really good. Compared to other burger spots around, this is right near the top. I like that they have tater tots as an option instead of fries. They were perfect. The portion was great for lunch. I didn't have room for any of the dessert, but he did and said his sundae was great!

I visit the Country Cafe often. Breakfast is great with various breakfast meats , fresh fruits and eggs any way you want them. Dinner is great too, with home cooked style fried chicken, steak, turkey and dressing, pot roast along with sides and a salad bar. I often times have a hard time finding places with a good selection of vegetables and this place always delivers. I've always left satisfies, i could eat dinner here every night! read more

Then I did my usual regardless of which Mexican restaurant I go to. Carne Asada. This was prepared just like I requested. Medium. And it had a side of refried beans, guacamole and rice. Perfect.

Our anniversary dinner at Chef Paco turned out to be one of those rare dining experiences that…read morelingers long after the last bite. Tucked away in a small, unassuming building just off the square, the restaurant feels like a well-kept secret. In a town that draws plenty of visitors, this spot...at least for now...remains pleasantly undiscovered. Honestly, if it were any closer to the square, I suspect it would be packed to the brim every night with a wait stretching down the street. From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone. Our waitress, a student from the University of North Georgia, was exceptional...attentive, warm, and effortlessly professional. She carried herself with the kind of polish you'd expect from someone formally trained in hospitality, not someone still in school. It added a personal, genuine touch to the evening that's hard to manufacture. We both ordered the Chicken Scaloppini, and it's no exaggeration to say it is now difficult to choose anything else on our return visits. The dish was beautifully presented...pan-seared chicken breast layered with capers, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and prosciutto, all resting alongside a rich, angle hair pasta accompaniment and topped with grated and shaved parmigiana cheese. Every element worked in harmony: bright, savory, and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy. It was the kind of plate you slow down for, not wanting it to end. Dessert was just as memorable. The chocolate divine cake, paired with vanilla ice cream and finished with a delicate flower, felt like a celebration in itself...elegant, indulgent, and the perfect closing note to the meal. Chef Paco delivers something special: refined food in an intimate, unpretentious setting, with service that elevates the entire experience. For us, it wasn't just dinner...it was a moment, and exactly the kind you hope for on an anniversary.

There was an Hispanic waitress and she came over and eventually seated them before us. After having waited our time and then some.

But the young Black woman saw what was happening and made sure the table we had waited for, and was cleaned for us was finally given to us because they were about to give our table away AGAIN to another family that of course didn't look like us, simply because they demanded it. However!! Once we were finally seated we had an AMAZING waitress, her name was Allie, she catered to us as if we were royalty! The food was okay... But the customer service from the wait staff was as Amazing, and restored us to our previous happiness to be out as a family!! Not sure if I would visit again, but Thank you Allie, and the young woman who made sure we were finally seated properly! You guy's Rock! I mention our experience because it is extremely important!
