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.

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.

If you're looking for great Southern comfort food with a million-dollar mountain and lake view,…read moreHawg Wild BBQ & Catfish House in Hiawassee is hard to beat. We stopped in on 1/2 Price Tuesday Catfish Special, and it has to be one of the best dining values anywhere in North Georgia. For just $9.99, each lunch included two perfectly fried catfish fillets and two sides--an incredible deal for the quality and generous portions. The catfish was outstanding. The fillets were light, flaky, and fresh with a perfectly seasoned, crispy coating that wasn't greasy at all. Every bite was delicious. The homemade tartar sauce complemented the fish perfectly. The sides were every bit as impressive. The collard greens had that slow-cooked Southern flavor, the BBQ baked beans were rich and smoky with just the right touch of sweetness, and the Carolina slaw was crisp, refreshing, and balanced the meal nicely. The Texas toast rounded everything out. Our server, Charity, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome without ever hovering. The restaurant itself has one of the prettiest settings you'll find. Sitting above the lake with panoramic mountain views, it's worth the stop for the scenery alone. Whether you're inside looking out the large windows or enjoying the view from the parking area, it's a beautiful place to relax over lunch. With two lunches, drinks, tax, and a generous tip, our total was only about $34. That's exceptional value these days. If you happen to be in Hiawassee on a Tuesday, don't miss the 1/2 Price Catfish Lunch Special. Between the outstanding catfish, delicious Southern sides, friendly service, unbeatable price, and spectacular views, Hawg Wild BBQ & Catfish House has earned a place on our list of favorite North Georgia restaurants. We'll definitely be back.

Oh Bigg Daddys, how you continue to disappoint me. I would give zero stars if I could but then I…read moredecided that 1 star was acceptable because our server, Cole, was great. In fact, if it wasn't for sweet Cole, I would have refused to pay the total tab of $93. I've been here many times and the food has been on a steady decline. No seasoning, small portions, dry chicken, vegetables beyond the point of decent and prices way too high for the meal even if it was good food. But I digress, I used to love this place, good food, great atmosphere, reasonable prices, open on Sundays and something other than fast food and in this area, all of those points made it a great place to eat. However, the past 4 times I've been here the only thing good was the service. The food is just awful and I don't say that as an exaggeration. I had to put so much salt and pepper on my salad just to make it have any semblance of flavor. This was after I asked for extra dressing to try and add flavor but it turned out, the dressing had no seasoning either! My husband is a man who will combine 3 day old Mexican food with 2 day old pasta, reheat it 3 times in the microwave then leave it for 24 hours and still eat it with no issues, I know, gross. Tonight, he ate the fries and 2 bites of his burger, which had the bun put on upside down, and quit eating because it had no flavor at all. I have tried and tried with you all at Bigg Daddys but I will say this, I will never be back except maybe for a drink at the bar, it's kinda hard to mess up a vodka soda, hopefully I haven't spoken too soon. I do hope that things will change because we need more good places to eat around here. I will admit that the only reason we ended up at Bigg Daddys again after our previous bad experiences, was because Fenders was closed, I didn't want to drive to Clarkesville, I had Mexican food the 2 previous nights and I was really hoping that the food would be good, although I knew I was probably going to be disappointed again, and I was. At least my 5:45 AM workout will be a breeze since I barely ate my salad and I now have very little to work off.
