Great bbq in Helen!…read more After getting out the river we decided to stop by for lunch since they're located right across the street from Cool Rivers. We honestly had very low expectations with Helen being such a touristy town but we were def in for a treat! The staff and even locals were super sweet and friendly. My husband can make friends everywhere but one of the locals was just extra friendly this visit and made us feel very welcomed. I forget what the special was this day but we got a little of everything plus the special. They also have mini melts for the kiddos. Y'all when I say EVERYTHING was good, everything was VERY GOOD. Maybe because we had low expectations, or we were hungry, or we were influenced by the friendliness, but we were extremely surprised. Everything was seasoned well, bbq'd well, cooked well. I don't normally order chicken because of the high percentage it will be dry, but i did and the chicken was divineee. Crispy smoky skin and juicy tender meat. Very well done. Ribs, amazing. If I had to complain about anything it would be the brisket. We ordered our brisket sliced though it came sliced/shredded and could have used a little more smoke. Though still very tasty. Upon walking out the ladies up front asked how our meal was and my husband told them it was "actually good". Poor verbiage on his part, APOLOGIES!, but our expectations were so low and Flying Pig just blew us out of the park we had no words. Our whole experience was great and we would not hesitate to stop by, or recommend, the next time we are in town.

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.

We had the pork knuckle (haxe) served with gravy, sauerkraut, and potato salad. The pork was cooked well, but soft, with the gravy all over it. I've never had it served that way before, but it was delicious. We've been here several times and I always get the goulash soup. It's so good and reminds me so much of being in Germany.

We first visited Bodensee about eight years ago, and at the time we thought it was probably the…read morebest restaurant in town. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a bit of a disappointment. What was once a quaint spot with outstanding service and mouthwatering food now feels like just another restaurant. The atmosphere was fine and the service was still good, but the food didn't live up to our previous experience. We both ordered schnitzel--mine with Jäger gravy and my wife's with Gypsy gravy. Mine was decent, but hers was noticeably different from what she remembered. She had really been looking forward to it and ended up quite disappointed. It wasn't a bad meal, but it definitely didn't recapture what made our first visit so memorable.

My boyfriend and I are still on our road trip and today we decided to stop in Helen, Georgia --…read morethis super charming and historic little German-style town in the mountains. Unfortunately it was raining SO much that we couldn't really walk around and explore the town, so I searched for somewhere close to our hotel to have dinner. We ended up at Bangkok Haus Restaurant and honestly... what a good decision that turned out to be. The restaurant serves Thai food and sushi in this really cozy, relaxing atmosphere, which honestly felt perfect after being stuck in the rain all day. The restaurant itself is super cute inside and beautifully decorated, making it feel warm and welcoming the second you walk in. We decided to go all in on sushi rolls and started with two beers: a Thai Chang beer and a Japanese Asahi. Both were super light, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the sushi. I also ordered a miso soup because honestly... there's just something so comforting about starting dinner with warm miso soup to settle your stomach. For rolls we ordered the Eel Roll, the Lady of Dawn, and the M16 roll. The Eel Roll was rich, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced with that buttery eel texture and eel sauce. The Lady of Dawn roll was super fresh and flavorful with the perfect combination of crunchy and creamy textures. And the M16 roll? SO good. Packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and honestly one of those rolls where every bite tastes different in the best way possible. I later saw online that people rave about the M16 roll too, and now I completely understand why. The service was also super friendly and fast, which we appreciated so much after a long rainy day on the road. Honestly, if you're visiting Helen and want a break from all the German food everywhere, this is SUCH a great option. Amazing sushi, comforting Thai food, good service, and a really beautiful atmosphere.

We ended up seeking it out b/c we wanted to watch college football. They have solid indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is right by the river. On the indoor side you have a very small bar but plenty of TVs around the establishment. The food is fine but nothing terribly special. But they do have a fair amount of beer on tap. The overall experience is solid. We were able to watch football, eat and drink beer. I suspect I will end up back here the next time I visit Helen. I'd suggest swinging by if you get the chance.

The burger was so dry it could have been made of dust. I ate about half of it, because I'm a man, and that's what we do...maybe it's dry on the outside, maybe the next bite is acceptable...nope not this time. My girlfriend had the Ruben. Tasted like nothing. You'd think you can't mess up a Reuben. Well, I was wrong. Meat tastes like newspaper. Also got some jalapenos poppers. Also gross. I've had frozen ones that are better. Only edible things were the pickle and ranch dressing. It's a shame because the ambience is SICK. The staff seemed to know it was bad. Don't go here
