Hi, my usual 1/2 pound cheeseburger on ciabatta bread, with coleslaw and French fries. Daughter had their delicious chicken fingers with okra and french fries, and my brother had the 1/3 pound bacon cheeseburger, with coleslaw and fries, all outstanding!

Yikes... not a good experience for us.

We glanced at other tables- the blueberry pancakes at the next table looked amazing. I hemmed and hawed but being a biscuit connoisseur, I went with the country platter. Big mistake. We both ordered platters with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. The eggs were crunchier than the bacon. Disappointingly, the biscuit was a standard frozen foot service reheat. The winner was the French toast. And, as I paid the bill, I ordered a cinnamon roll to go. It was touted as freshly made. It was just after 8am... it was dry and unappetizing. Very disappointing experience all around. We did find the staff lovely and warm. The food didn't match their energy.

We had our 12 lb bundle of puppy joy with us so to the back deck we went. I think Dakotah was the only server on the main floor, both inside and out because it took a long time. Long time for water. He was busy even though the restaurant wasn't full. Poor guy. My hubby ordered the muffaletta and wasn't impressed. He ate it though. He loved his Abita root beer. I decided to order from the side menu and I'm so happy I did. The andouille sausage was grilled and tasty. The maque choux was amazing. Think Mexican corn with a Louisiana twist. Perfection!! The loaded grits were also wonderful- chocked full of gouda, bacon, and green onions. Delicious! The gumbo was thick like a stew. The flavor was smoky and sublime. My only beef is instead of all gumbo, the cup was filled mostly with rice... topped with gumbo. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. However, due to the pace of things, the underwhelming sandwich and perception of getting shorted on the chicken and gumbo. I wouldn't hesitate to swing by and order a maque choux to go as a snack except they charge $1 for the to-go container.

Please note there is a surcharge fee on all transactions. I believe it's 3% or 4%. The food and experience is worth the cost. Attached is a photo of the menu.

Something about the Picnic Cafe name made me think the food would be a little more homemade, cute in presentation, etc. but that wasn't quite the case. Our food was served on styrofoam, the coffee drinks were a-okay (from a machine) and the jelly was served in packets (I'm not sure why but I really pictured sweet local jams or something that would tie back to the name and feel of the business). The bakery case offered croissants, cookies, etc. I didn't try any of those for myself so I can't speak to them. They offer a handful of small tables both inside and on the front patio overlooking the square.  The service was great - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that here.

So glad it did!! This is in the public shopping center. I guess is what they call it a little bit south of town and it really is a higher end Mexican restaurant with excellent decor and super clean and a great staff. There was just two of us that we went and sat at the bar, which was empty, cause it was relatively early in the afternoon around 5 o'clock, but what a gorgeous bar! Ashley was our bartender. I think she was relatively new, but got us a margarita and I actually went for a beer after I got there and we looked at the menu to decide what we wanted to eat. I ordered some chicken tacos and my buddy ordered fajitas and understanding the price points are about five bucks more than any corner Mexican restaurant, these portions were massive!

When we pulled in, it was a little confusing as Chestatee River Adventures is in the same building. The main door is on the front or if you have a dog, head to the outdoor balcony area to claim your table. You need to have someone in your party head inside to place your order. The menu is relatively simple but specials (and ice cream!!) are inside. All of the ladies working were super pleasant, friendly and helpful. Once seated, they would offer to refill drinks and clear dishes. I got the daily special, Chestatee Chicken which was grilled chicken, thick bacon, grilled onions, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce. You can get it standalone or on a bun. I opted for no bread. The loaded naked potato salad was tasty but too mayo-heavy for my husband's liking.
