E. Lisa (Peachy in Georgia) Good stuff!! This location was here when I was in high school in the 90’s and already felt like a classic back then! I was in the area and thought I’d stop by for a burger again. The slaw burger - big and flavorful, onion rings - plump and juicy, and a butterscotch shake that was enormous, sweet, creamy and cooling made for a delicious and very filling lunch! There’s a reason this place has been around as long as it has and you should definitely check it out yourself if you’re in the area.

Spencer Hill We had PHENOMENAL service from Branden! Apparently it’s his first night too and we would have never known. He was polite, punctual, attentive to our feral children haha simply above and beyond. Best experience we’ve had thus far ◡̈

Natalie Esquivel Absolutely amazing place! The food was great but the people were better. Our server was Elenor (i hope i spelled that right) and she made great recommendations with the broccoli soup and the spring pasta. The manager was very nice as well. We were a pretty big party and we all had a fabulous time! Highly recommend.

Mrs. Haney Large outdoor seating area with couches, fireplaces, TV & music stage. They have a lot of indoor seating as well as a large party-sized room. The upstairs patio does not open until 4 PM so we did not get to see that, but they said there’s a bar and similar seating up there. The rum cake martini was amazing and very strong. The onion rings were great although I prefer regular ranch with it then the barbecue ranch. The fish and chips were good. It seemed to come with regular and sweet potato fries mixed. The menu said waffle fries so when we asked about it he said the waffle fries were not handmade (they are processed) so the ones we had are better. Free parking

Gryffin Medina This pulled pork mac (Train Wreck as listed on the menu) was very well balanced flavor wise. The pork immaculate and sauce fairly tame and complemented the meat well. No element stood out to much and the jalapeños poked our at the very end. The atmosphere for me was spooky and jovial (came in december) . Decently worth a stop in.

Doug Powell WOW! One of the best restaurants in Gainesville, GA!!! I had the Bahn Mi Thit Nuong - grilled pork sandwich and the Chen Bo Vien - small meatball and onion soup for lunch and it was spectacular!!! The bread was very fresh with the perfect flakiness in the crust as a Bahn Mi should. The pork was tender and the vegetables very fresh. The meatballs in the soup were so delicious! The onion was very thin sliced and provided an excellent balance. I will be back often.

Tara Borders First visit was last month and for some reason, the outside looks like an art gallery. Maybe that’s just me, HA! They have salads, wraps and warm bowls. A variety of proteins and toppings to choose from. Vegan friendly, which is my fave! Build your own bowl. Wild rice, romaine lettuce, black and pinto beans. Tofu for the protein (cooked fresh and was delectable!). 4 toppings are included. I chose chickpeas, cucumbers, beets and cabbage. Bought 2 additional - edamame and black olives. Chipotle dressing (it’s vegan!). This bowl was perfect! You can they use fresh ingredients that are high quality. I love with places have vegan options that they take the time to make delicious. Tofu said it was seasoned, but it was way better than I thought it would be. I will definitely be back. Super chill vibe, decently quiet and great customer service! They have feee wifi if you want to work while here or use it just because. Same owners as Consuelo, which is a few doors down. If you have not be en there yet, run now to dine in! 2nd visit - I was super excited because the first went soooo well! I knew immediately my tofu would be burnt. The guy cooked it at too high a temperature. Tofu is simple and I’m assuming it was pre-seasoned. The dish was still good but it was definitely noticeable. Only notable thing was a group of women were playing some type of game and were pretty loud this visit. No issue as it was a gorgeous day and we ate outside. That would have been a bit annoying to me if dining inside.

Chelsea Williams Recess is a hidden gem in Gainesville, GA. The atmosphere is so rustic and cozy and the staff are very friendly and accommodating! Not to mention, the food and drinks are superb. Tons of options to choose from! From casual to very elevated. I went to Thursday Trivia there last night and it was a BLAST! Lots of teams showed up and the vibes were so fun! I cannot wait to continue trivia nights here. Its the perfect spot!

Michael Garrison Not the most modern restaurant on the inside, but the breakfast buffet is well worth your trip. I had a biscuit, cheese grits, two breakfast meats, and water for $9. Biscuits are crunchy on the outside and light and tender inside.
