    Weak coffee

    Overall a good breakfast and a good value. Eggs cooked perfectly as requested Grits Ok weak flavor Bacon good Sausage good but dripping grease Country Ham was country ham Pancake Good but cold Syrup Good but served cold Coffee Very weak

    Service was 10/10! Food was 20/10! Oh my gosh I'm just sad that we are in town visiting and this can't be our new brekky spot every week! I really didn't think I'd be able to finish my omelette but it was so good, I couldn't stop! Thank you for putting love into your food!

    There's a funny Filipino saying; "Breakfast is last night's dinner leftovers with a fried egg." This kind of reminds me of that. This is Todd's Taters: ground beef, onions, peppers, potatoes, cheese, and a dash of hot sauce. This could have been last night's delicious meatloaf dinner turned satisfying breakfast with the addition of two over-easy eggs. A definite recommend.

    A nice place to eat in the local area This is a restaurant that is located about 6 miles to the southeast of Helen on the north side of 17/255. It is a stand-alone building that was not difficult to find. It seems like a local's choice to me. It looks to be a converted house with a large gravel parking lot and lots of parking both in the front and the back. There is a porch with a front door that is the entrance directly in the center. You enter directly into the main room with wooden, floors and ceilings. There were about 9 4-person tables in the main room and additional seating both outside on the porch and in an adjacent room. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Even though it was pretty busy the waitress came out quickly and took my drink and food order. I ordered French toast and bacon. It came out quickly on plastic plates and real silverware. It tasted quite good and the price was reasonable. You pay at a counter in front of the kitchen to the right as you enter the main room. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would recommend this to my fellow travelers in the local area.

    Look at all the plastic plates and styrofoam cups, all going in the trash, just Vile!!!

    No problem with the food, it was pretty good, and so was the service. But!!! They serve EVERYTHING on plastic disposable plates, and in styrofoam cups, it's totally gross to be this environmentally UNconscious. I joked when I went to pay that I guess we should be happy u're not using plastic forks too. She just kinda chuckled like she had no clue, and she was my grandmas age, how was she not appalled too?! Who runs a whole ass restaurant serving everything on disposable plates?! At first we thought, maybe the dishwasher was broken, but seeing other reviewers complaining about it, going back months, we realize that's not the case. I can't eat eat here and support the horrible waste

    The building is small but the food and staff are 100% worth it. I eat here at lest 2 or 3 times a month.

    We stopped here on our way to Helen, GA based on the reviews. Unfortunately, our sandwiches were mediocre. The service was good.

    Stopped by Cottage House Restaurant in Cleveland and this place is exactly what you want if you're…read morelooking for a solid, no-frills Southern breakfast. First off, the setup is super easy. You walk in, grab a tray, and you've got options. You can go through the hot bar and get served right there, pay, and be on your way... or order off the menu, sit down, and they'll bring the food to you. Very simple and efficient. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, and there's also outdoor seating if you want it. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus, especially compared to the chaos you'll run into closer to Helen. Food wise, I always judge breakfast spots by the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit... and this one held up. The chicken was tender, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and overall it was a solid start. The surprise for me was the hashbrown casserole. It came out good, but once I added a little salt, the flavor really popped. Definitely worth getting. The pancakes were also done right... nice crispy edges with a soft, fluffy inside. That's exactly how pancakes should be. Menu wise, they've got everything you'd expect from a Southern breakfast spot... biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, omelets, and even lunch style items like burgers and plate meals if you come later. They also have a Coca-Cola fountain, which is always a win. Service was friendly, especially for early morning, and the whole place just has that comfortable, old-school home cooking feel. There is also a drive thru if you don't feel like leaving your car. Overall, this is a great spot if you want a good breakfast without the crowds. Simple, tasty, and easy.

    I always enjoy the food here! The service is great! I really like the young lady, Addie, she works…read morethe register and is always friendly and goes out of her way to be helpful. I really love their grilled cheese and fried green tomatoes. The restaurant is always busy but is very clean. Great atmosphere!
