The wing were great! Since we get takeout, they told us what time to be there and it was right on time.. Looks like a great place to eat, but we just always bring it home read more

Arrived almost 90min before closing only to be told by the nice waitress that the kitchen had closed...so disappointed as per the reviews we were happy to have a restaurant so close to our Airbnb...we came on a Sun night to watch the NFL game...but nope, back into Helen we drove. Maybe next time..maybe not. read more

If there were more than 5 stars available, I would select more stars. Michelle made my wife and I plus our daughter feel like family on Fathers Day. Best wings we have ever had. My 2+2 Burger was perfect. We are planning on going back for prime rib night on our 50th anniversary this Friday. We live in the area now and Dugout is going to be a regular stop now. read more

We are doing a several week road trip through small towns in GA,SC and NC. We were looking for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to carry-out while traveling to a new location from Sautee Nacoochee. I saw on FB that The Dugout was doing dinner. I called the day before and they couldn't have been nicer. We stopped by there about 11:45 on Thanksgiving. The young man who took our order couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. We waited maybe 15 mins. Let me say, when we landed at our next destination, the turkey dinner, all the fixings, sides and dessert was delicious! Homemade and such a generous portion. If we were locals we would be regulars! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

New expanded lunch hours, so open for lunch Thursday through Sunday. Our food was good bar type food. Onion rings were great! Really enjoyed our sandwiches and the service was quick and friendly read more

So we were on our way home from our North Georgia wine trip and wanted to grab a bite before we got too far down the road. A couple of yelp searches and we discovered the Dugout. Seems to be off the beaten path but it was still busy. Seems to be a crossroad stop for a few towns. Typical pub fair, burgers, dogs, pizza and beer. I had a couple of hotdogs that had awesome flavor. Not much on them so you were free to dress to your liking. Deb had some hot wings and onion rings. Both were pretty tasty. A solid spot for good grub but nothing that really wow'd us. read more

Jared runs the restaurant and is so kind and accommodating. The food was amazing. My favorite was the jalapeno poppers and fried green beans. We had crab legs one night too which were also amazing. It's not a huge place but it was packed every night. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming. Everybody was so nice. We loved everything we got. read more

Typical bar food which I would probably give 3/4 stars. Staff is friendly. Here's my problem. On the menu it states 1 sauce per order of wings. So if you want 12 wings with 2 sauces they charge you for 2 orders of 6 wings instead. 2 orders of 6 wings cost more than an order of 12 wings. Why is it such a big deal to split the sauces on an order of 12 wings? Apparently this bothers them SO much that they had to put it on the menu to make sure you know that they will NOT split the sauces. This just comes off as bad customer service and a stubborn owner who only does things the way he wants to. I refuse to support small minded businesses who will not cater to their customers. It's called the "service" industry for a reason. There another bar a few miles away that splits the sauces at no charge. I guess they'll be getting my business from now on. read more

Ok doing an update here. The dugout is open again. Went for lunch and the wings were great, crispy and juicy. The Philly cheesesteak was a good sandwich which I would order again although not really a Philly cheesesteak. Looks like Friday is prime rib night and there are beer specials. I live nearby and the dugout looks to be busy but still please go give it a try! read more

Great food and service was amazing! So nice and such a nice ambiance! Love the burgers and homemade fries! Best around for sure! Full bar and lots of big TV's to watch the Braves and Dawgs! Also try the French Dip! So yummy! read more

First time going to this place. Waitress was rude. Didn't give us menus was rushing us being rude. And didn't give silverware when asked twice. For the price for basic food could've went to the waffle house and have a better experience for half of the price. It was very small and loud read more

Used to be good last two visits food was awful.Won't be going back.Patty melt was a piece of black something on cold Texas toast.I fell sorry for waitress she kept saying kitchen was having a hard time.My dog loved it. read more

The Dug Out is my favorite place! The hospitality is amazing! Everyone there is friendly and quick to get my order. Steve, Cherri, Georgia, Michelle, Tim, and Ru are just wonderful The food is excellent and the restaurant would make anyone feel comfortable! I couldn't think of anything that could be better than the dugout! read more

On my visit, they had 2 employees call in... so I understand how tough it is these days to run a decent place to eat. So of course we had an issue with our order, which they made good. Our waitress was nice and so was all the staff. I am not knocking them for service, it was busy. If I'm being honest, the food wasn't great. Wings were over cooked, fries were greasy, calzone's ricotta needed more time in the oven but the bread was so tough it couldn't stand it and the pizza... umm, they should have bought one at a grocery store and tried to pass it off as theirs. I threw the leftovers away, I hated to toss it but honestly it was the right choice. Go if you like beer and don't care what your eating. They are at least nice. read more

Game to watch some UGA football. Ate at the bar inside. Had several TVs inside. Had the spicy bourbon wings and a side salad. Wings were crispy and a good size. Sauce was really good! Salad was simple but tasty. Had a really good Bloody Mary. They have a good beer and liquor selection. Would like to try some other things. Has a nice outdoor area to eat too! read more

The Dugout is a great place if you want a relaxed environment. Not only do they have great food, good music, but a great staff Cherri, Steve and Georgia! If you're in the area you need to stop by! read more

This is a nice stop. It's bar food cooked well. People working there are awesome. Check to see if they are open. Limited hours/days.

We stayed at their motel and just had to eat here. We both got burgers. They don't offer one with just one patty which was disappointing for me, personally. Their beer selection is lacking. The service staff was wonderful and attentive. And the vibe was definitely that of a sports bar. read more

If your in Helen, GA and not going to The Dugout, you are making a mistake. The only thing better than the food is the people (the staff). Very welcoming and from the moment you set foot in the door you feel like your talking to friends you have know for a decade. The ambiance is very positive. Energy of the people and the place is awesome. Don't make the mistake of missing out on this place. It's got hospitality you won't experience in the town and prices better than you will find almost anywhere in Georgia. read more

Stick with their bar food. More waitressing help is needed. Tip: place your order at the bar, you're not going to get timely wait service (until it's time to close out your tab). It's simply not possible. Wait on yourself, including getting your own utensils and drinks. Eliminate NY strip steaks from their menu. NY strips are typically tough, but not shoe leather tough. Thirty dollars for shoe leather a chain saw couldn't cut. How embarrassing to sit with others who remark "you can't cut that, even with a steak knife?" A baked potato baked three weeks ago. A salad that arrived 20 minutes after the food, obviously purchased from Dollar General. I didn't expect Long Horn, but nor did I expect a tasteless uneatable hunk of beef. Forget the tea!! Unless there's live music, keep driving! read more

I love thy sports bar ambiance with karaoke or the DJ playing everything from country and rock to R and B and rap. This is really a modern day cheers. If you are a friendly person and like to mingle then come to knot some great wings , pizza, shrimp and a variety of other foods. If you are stand-offish and don't like crowds of all races thenThis isn't the place for you. read more

Excellent ! My wife and I were the first customer's to order the New York Strip, it has just been added to their choice of steaks, one of the best New York Strips we have had in years ! Michelle is awesome ! read more

Place is cool food was good but they have the dumbest and rudest waitress on the planet. God bless her soul

We really enjoyed our dinner at The Dugout! The wings and pizza were delicious and the service was great!

The service was outstanding, but food was disappointing. I ordered mild chicken wings. They had no flavor to them. A bit of sauce in the bottom of the basket seemed watered down. read more

I got the spicy bourbon wings. I hate it when people lick their fingers in public but yet I couldn't help myself! I did not want to waste one ounce of this sauce. My husband got the dugout burger and let me tell you, I've never in 33 years seen him eat a burger so fast. The food and the staff are phenomenal! If you want to take a nice drive up towards Helen or Clarksville I highly suggest you stop! We will definitely make this a regular spot! Outstanding! read more

Not in business any longer. Too bad!they had gera pizza and calzones. Hamburger as well. But this is for nothing --- now they are a BBQ place and a 17 year old calls you babe. read more

If zero stars was an option I would give it, but here we are with one. Terrible service! Our waitress acted as if she didn't have a clue about anything. Our food took forever to come it was not good. Fries and onion rings were burnt to a crisp. I've had better burgers from McDonald's and Wendy's. The waitress took forever to simply refill our drinks. Don't waste your time here. read more

So we stopped in to the dugout on a referral from a friend today.We ordered chicken wings and onion rings to go.waitress was very nice and it only took about ten minutes upon getting home we made our plates,then noticed we ordered ten wings only got nine.For the high price they charge you should get the full orderThe wings where terrible tasted like pre packaged frozen wings ugh!Onion rings were ok! Being a local was hoping for a new good place to eat,won't be going there again! Would not recommend. read more

So we just happened on this restaurant on our way back from Lake Burton. It looked cute so on a whim decided to stop in for dinner. That was a mistake. Ordered app, 2 orders of wings, cheesesteak, and 1 draft beer. Total bill over $65. Very pricey. They were busy so we should have never sat down. Took over 1.5 hours to get food. Wait staff was rude. Almost didn't leave a tip but have waited tables in the past so against my better judgement, tipped. Onion rings not recommended. Greasy. Wings were OK but at $15+ for 10 wings, consider that pretty expensive. Took forever to get salad and came out in plastic container. Had requested salad earlier because I was hungry but apparently wait staff was unable to bring even though suspect it was premade. I probably won't try the Dugout Sports Grill again. Usually, I give a restaurant at least two tries before dismissing but this was such a bad experience don't think I will bother. There are plenty of other good restaurants out there struggling that we can go back to or give a try. read more
