If they improved the looks of the place, they would surely get much more foot traffic. The appearance absolutely does not represent the food quality. About a year ago, their food was alright, but it seems they got their stuff together, and oh my! Their food tastes gourmet! about 20 minutes to get the food, but it's worth every second. I wouldn't get the spaghetti, though. Delicious, but not their best option. read more

Cheap and affordable Italian food and pizza in Trenton. Would recommend getting Togo, vibes in the restaurant are nonexistent. Food quality is what you'd expect for the price. read more

We were there on vacation and wanted Italian. Went to Rafael's and it was pretty good. I would recommend

Visiting from Virginia Beach-Food was delicious and not bad pricing. Staff was friendly!

Went for the 1st and last time. It was bogo pizza. Nothing about this was good. It took forever, after they told us we had 25 mins to eat and it took them about the same time as they gave us. Another two we were with that ordered right b4 us were finished b4 we got ours. Probably the thickest pizza I never wanted. You know how leftover pizza is good, this wasn't that. Didn't find any ambiance altho we were told to sit in front, so we did. read more

Great BOGO deal on pizza every day of the week. Nice service. Looking forward to trying more of their menu LOTS of choices!

Good simple food. Great for family's. Super low key! We had a great experience when we wanted some good old fashioned pizza.

Friendly staff and good pizza. Not much in terms of ambiance. We had two large, two topping pizzas with bread sticks, large Greek salad and drinks for $32. Easy on and off of 59. read more

I've eaten at Rafael's in other locations and have been pleased. Though usually I order pizza and that goes over well. Their pizza is always good. At this particular location, I tried other items. Specifically, the Greek salad which was okay. But just okay. Everything else was simply not very good. It was not hot. It was somewhat warm to cold which I found odd since there was nobody else in the place when we were there. Seems like they had plenty of time to make sure my food was hot. Maybe I expect more when paying these prices but I would have rather eaten almost anywhere else. The service was friendly and that's the only reason for the stars. read more

Great service!! The pizza was SO good. Some of the best pizza I have had. I can't wait to come back!!

Really good food..off the beaten path from 24 but worth it. Recommend the homemade pizza and lasagna

Adequate pizza when your choices are limited in a sparse area.

Good pizza and Italian.Good take out or dine in. A nice verity very local, no frills but good well made food.

Hmmm, where to start? I had pretty decent expectations of this place, but was sorely disappointed. Don't expect to come here and get real Italian. I ordered fettuccini Alfredo. Nothing but sauce and noodles, right? So, the sauce tasted like something out of a can. All served up on styrofoam plates and plastic dinnerware. No dishwashing for these guys! It is just generally a pretty poor excuse for Italian. No waiters or waitresses. Just counter service. The counter help was nice and that's the only reason for the 2 star rating. Don't come here for the food! P.S. The restroom was decent. read more

Stopped here after a day of travel to Cloudland Canyon State Park. Best pizza I've had for quite some time! The staff was friendly and helpful. Very clean restaurant and bathrooms. Recommend you give them a try when in the area. read more

When I was hand gliding, the instructor suggested I check out Rafael's since it was close by, has variety of food, and has casual atmosphere. When looking on Yelp, I noticed that it is an Italian fast food style chain restaurant in North Georgia and Chattanooga. The cashiers are up front. You pay and order. They call your number when your food is ready. I just got Chicken Garden Salad with no olives, tomatoes, and cheese. I love onion rings so I added that. Onion rings came out quickly. I went to pick it up and they are huge and fell apart easily. Dipping sauce is salsa, which I found weird but it was tasty. Onion rings were just A-okay. When salad came out, I was disappointed with the presentation. I didn't like the fact also that the red onions were not cut off smaller. Oh yeah, the green bell peppers were huge too. The chicken was not that flavorful. The lettuce is basically just regular iceberg lettuce. Blah. My favorite dressing is honey mustard. It was was not homemade and packaged. Just blah. Maybe I have to order something else different in the future? I mean, they have great customer service, really friendly staff. It's a huge restaurant with plenty of tables and chairs. It was packed. They are doing something right. But not just for me. 2017 Review #25 read more

See all

Food is great and fresh every time we eat here. Always clean inside and friendly staff. Will be going back for sure.

Wonderful portion sizes for the price! BOGO pizzas are always a hit. My favorite is the calzones and my husband loves the Italian cheesesteak sandwich. read more

Absolute BEST pizza in Trenton, Georgia! We just moved here and we are soooooo glad they have a great pizza place!!! :)

I have yet to have a bad experience at Rafael's in the decades I have dined there. My go-to is the House Special Calzone and Greek salad.

Dropped in after a morning hike in Cloudland, and what a delight. We had the vegi lasagna and the steak and cheese calzone. Subtle flavors to the lasagna were wonderful to taste, and the calzone looked as good as I've seen in any college town. It's casual Italian, but boy is it good! read more

Extremely rude and slow service. Ended up getting my money back and leaving. Staff was not friendly at all. 0 stars

Pretty good, but the grease stains on the picture for this restaurant is sort of representative of what you will get here. Its all quiet greasy. read more

It is so good the best Italian restaurant in Trenton Ga!!Go try it!And support there family owned restaurant!Cheese Calzone is my favorite!

My husbands food came out 30 mins before mine and all I ordered was a salad. My husband had to ask for dressing for my salad in which the young girl at the counter argued they already put dressing on the salad and they had not. The food was disgusting and so was the cashiers attitude. It was a horrible enough experience to where we won't try it again. read more

After a long hike at Cloudland canyon my mom and I hit up this place. We were starving and anything would have been good at this point, but the aroma outside the restaurant really had our hopes up. The food was decent either Mexican or Italian I got a salad which was good and eggplant Parmesan which was really greasy. Mom got a calzone which was pretty tasty, wish I had ordered that instead. Lots of families and a little loud. read more

Rafael's Italian Restaurant - a neon sign for a restaurant - Italian Near Me - Trenton, Georgia

I'm from out of town staying at a motel & wanted to get dinner.... I heard This place was pretty good..... But There is no website or menu to order from and the motel has no menu either... I can't give them a good rating because, I can't even order their food.... Its 2015.... I know its a small town but get with the times!! read more

I usually get the chicken souvlaki and it's really good. I also like the chicken stir- fry. It's even better than most of the stir-frys at local chinese places and it's enough for two people. Their calzones are pretty good too but honestly, if you like that kind of thing and you are in Trenton, a strombolli from Randy's is the better choice. read more

They have wonderful dishes to choose from. Waiter is also very helpful. Speedy service all around. Great work guy's

I'm a pretty big fan of Rafael's, but it might be because it's one of only 4 restaurants in tiny Trenton. They have great calzones, great pizza (always buy one get one free), and they make a good house salad. If you're looking for something sweet, the Reese's pie is so ridiculously good. read more

The food is delicious and you are always met with a smile. We've had various dishes, they were all good. In our opinion the food is consistently good with nice prices. The pizza is definitely a draw, you get 2 for 1. read more

This was a real good place to eat. Decent food, and good variety. Very clean and friendly. It is cafeteria style, you order when you come in, then they call your number. Simple tables to eat at. It is on paper plates and plastic silverware. The pizza is good, and inexpensive. There seemed to be a lot of families with children there. read more

The service was good. The food was alright. I had a cheese calzone and personally it was way too cheesy, the taste was good though. Considering Trenton has so few restaurants, this is probably one of the better ones. read more

Rafael's Trenton is the best of the three I'm familiar. Had the chicken Parmesan it was not bad. Naturally you're not going to get a meal as well as the North End of Boston. But for southern style spaghetti with chicken tenders fried up hard and thrown in the broiler to melt the cheese. It wasn't bad at all. Had the same in Ringgold, last year and it was just terrible. All in all not bad place to eat. Go off hours and I believe you'll like it much better. read more

This was a great little place for us while camping at Cloudland Canyon! Two adults and two kids and we all left with full bellies. Lasagna was delicious, chicken parm was great. Meatball sub was okay, just a lot of peppers in there. My only complaint was the garlic toast was completely saturated with butter and we couldn't eat it. Friendly folks and a clean family atmosphere. read more

I went in recently with a group of 5 people. We went up to pick up our order when our number was called. My son asked for 4 packets of honey mustard. The child running the cash register handed him 2 and said that is all you can have. I spoke up and asked why he couldn't get 4 since we had 5 guests and 4 requested honey mustard. This child was fairly rude to me and said "it says in the menu limit of 2". I told him that meant 2 per order and I had 5 people with 5 orders. He said "no it says limit of 2" so I said if I bring in 30 people then I only get 2. He said now you understand. I had to purchase the additional 2 condiments. Before this incident I was a weekly customer. I have had other issues that I overlooked, but after dealing with rude unsupervised children running the place I decided I wont return. I hope they invest the extra condiment money wisely... read more

I go here occasionally. I am a fan of Italian food, but this place is quite great. There are not many restaurants in Trenton, but this is one of my favorites. I recommend eating here if you want a quick, and easy way to eat out. read more

Good pizza and great service w economical prices ! Never expected to get a good gyro from anPizza place or Hispanics running an Italian restaurant !.....but it works! Grateful for this small town blessing of a restaurant! read more

I use to like coming here. The food was decent and everyone here was nice. Not sure what has changed? The food quality has gone down hill a bit also. I ask if I could substitute fries that came with my meal, for something else and was told I could and even given the run down of what I could have. I ask for the mushrooms and was told there would be an up charge if I got them. So I paid the up charge. They got my order together and I noticed they did give me any sauce for them, and when I ask they were very rude and said I would have to pay extra for that also. .35 cent isn't a lot, but when I paid the up charge for the item I would have thought they would have included it. I did without because I only had debit card to pay and thought it would be crazy to charge .35 cents on it. I was a very frequent customer here (sometimes twice a week) and it will probably be awhile before I come back. read more
