We ate here twice during our stay. The food was amazing and the service friendly. We had the Philly cheese steak and french dip on our first day, then an amazing breakfast on day two. Biscuits and gravy to die for! We'll be back our next time through this area.?
Nice cozy lunch in North GA on a rainy afternoon. Loved the chicken salad!!

Came in for Sunday breakfast and waited for 15 minutes without being acknowledged, turned around and walked out. I’m sure the foods fine but service is lacking.

First looks of this place from the outside is cute and quaint, coming in I was confused whether it was a restaurant or a novelty store. We came in with a party of 8,(4 adults, 4 kids) they sat us immediately. Upon looking at the menu for lunch, me and the rest of the party were absolutely shocked at the prices for a basic sandwich fare lunch. Everything besides a grilled cheese is $15 and above, a kids pb&J is $8. My husband ordered a burger, it said it was 100% sirloin but did not ask what kind of cook he wanted for it…the reason was is because it’s a Bubba burger…for $15…In my opinion, none of the food is worth that much money nor the atmosphere. It was an entirely awkward experience and a big let down.Do better Serenity Garden, have some integrity and not price gouge your visitors. I don’t even know how y’all would have regulars with those prices and less than mediocre food.

My family and I are late risers on our days off. By the time we get motivated to go out for breakfast, we always have to go somewhere else since Serenity cuts off breakfast at 11:00. Just wish they'd extend those hours to around 2:00.That said, we've found some excellent hidden gems as a result.
Quaint place, good food and service. You can call in for reservations.Largest pancake ever!!

We visited for a quick between Christmas and New Year getaway…we ended up at Serenity Cafe for lunch our 2nd day here. I ordered the catfish meal, my friend ordered the hamburger steak with onion. The catfish was cooked so well he ended up ordering a 2nd helping on the side. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Being a southern girl with parents and grandparents that throw down from scratch in the kitchen, it’s not easy to impress me with home cooked meals but Serenity definitely delivered.We actually came back the next morning for breakfast..we both ordered omelettes and a pancake to share (that thing is huge). He asked about the catfish (which wasn’t on the breakfast menu) and they happily added it to the order. I also asked about champagne for a mimosa (again not on the menu) but our waitress made it happen.The only negative thing was the wait on the first day, however, we quickly realized the restaurant is family owned and short staffed. Front house operations could use some help with how people are seated when things are busy. But it seems they have a process that works for them. The two of us were sat at a table for 4 while there were bigger parties behind us. We eventually gave up our table for a 2 seater so that a family of four could sit together. But the staff did the best they could to get us seated and served quickly. The next day we came right in with no wait. So I’d say be a little patient and they will take care of you. It was well worth the 30 minute wait.

Wonderful little place with very good food. I got the catfish meal with French fries and macaroni salad and it was delicious.And They do whatever they can to make sure they have all menu items available. They didn’t have relish for their house made tartar sauce so instead they cut up pickles very thinly and it was DELICIOUS and the catfish was so nice and crispy and juicy. All of the staff was incredibly nice and happy to help. This is one of the restaurants where they really do deserve good tips! If I wasn’t on vacation I’d be a regular at this place.Very good!!

WARNING! DO NOT EAT HERE! ? My entire family were appalled at every aspect of dining here. In retrospect we should’ve just got up and left. It just got worse and worse.There were 6 of us with a 7 month old. Several of us ordered the Philly Cheesesteak steak. Mine was ordered WITH mushrooms and WITHOUT onions. While waiting for our food I watched at least 7 Philly’s from other tables get sent back to the kitchen. Well, our food came out and sure enough, mine had onions on it (and no mushrooms!) so I sent it back. Not a big deal, they were busy, we are understanding people. About 10 mins passed and our server came back to our table with what I thought would be my remade sandwhich without the onions. Nope, it was the 1st sandwich! The server had taken the sandwich to the cook in the back (who is also the owner- old, short gray haired man) and he told this server there weren’t any onions in it. The server comes back to the table, opens up the sandwich in front of us, grabs the meat from inside the sandwich with her bare fingers and dangles it over the table asking me where the onions are! ?Our mouths dropped to the floor in disbelief. We couldn’t believe this server was actually acting like this. She then, at the direction of this same owner, refused to remake the sandwich correctly. Basically calling me a liar that it had onions in it. It didn’t even have the mushrooms that we ordered in it, still no on the remake.Then the large table across from us, who all had blonde hair, sent a sandwich back that had a long black hair in it asking for a remake. ?? The owner came out of the kitchen to their table and started yelling at them saying it was one of their hairs! It was like an episode of Jerry Springer.We go to check out and because we had 6 people they had automatically added 20% gratuity. Just wonderful. Then the table of all blonde headed folks were checking out and simply asked to have the sandwich with the hair in it removed from their bill and the checkout clerk said the owner would have to approve that. Yes, you read that right. The owner that was screaming at them was the one that would have to approve the removal of a hair filled sandwich from their bill. ??♂️There are so many really good places to eat in Blue Ridge. This is not one of them. ?
