Southern Restaurants near Flowery Branch

“We ordered to start with Brie wrapped in puff pastry with amazing sauces & candied walnuts & raisins...Amazing flavor combinations. Had the salmon and shrimp dishes. Shrimp dish was very rich but extremely tasty. Topped it off with a hot skillet cc cookie with caramel & ice cream. Always such a wonderful treat to have this quality of food in our area!“

“This Shane's does an outstanding job! The food is good the service is usually pretty speedy and the place is clean. They also are constantly running deals and specials on their food. During these tough economic times, that's greatly appreciated. 5 Stars Shane's of Flowery Branch. Hands down the best Shane's in Metro Atlanta!“

“They helped us pull off a birthday celebration from out of state. Rachel, their event manager was SO VERY HELPFUL and communicated often with me. She went above and beyond to make this a special, and beautiful occasion for our mom's 80th birthday party. I was able to ship decorations, and she had them ready for us. All of our guests raved about the private room and the delicious food. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Aqua Terra Bistro. 5 PLUS STARS“

“11/10 - very welcoming people with true southern hospitality. Finally a place you visit where they are grateful for your business , they talk to you and the food is JUST UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.Everything seasoned to perfection - the texture on fried foods was hot and crisp. Sweet tea is delicious as we’re all the sauces we tried.These people really invest in what they cook and in treating customers well.We will be back!“

“4-21-24 When we pulled into the parking lot at Papa Jack's, it was a mad house. People were trying to park while others were in line for the drive- thru. When you walk in, you stand in line like in a cafeteria. They have their menu on a board of what they're serving on that day. I had the pot roast ($1.50 extra & they were very frugal with the potatoes & carrots), mac & chz, cabbage & cornbread. For 3 of us, it was $42+ a tip, which = $50. The cashier asked for a tip & I'm not even sure who it went toward considering we had to carry our own food... We did meet a man & had lunch with him. It was nice meeting & talking with you, Dave!! ☺️ Hopefully, we will cross paths with you again soon while here in Buford.“

“Beautiful Place with Great Food, Great Service, and Clean Bathrooms!We had a party of 12, and our table was put together for us quickly. Our server smiled the entire time, and was very patient with the kids and constant things we needed.The food was delicious, and you are served honey butter croissants as you wait to eat. There’s a large fish tank for kids to see if they are bored, too. Our kids even asked to tour the restaurant, because it was “so beautiful.”We will definitely be back to celebrate more birthdays!Parking: A lot of parking space!Kid-friendliness: Large fish tank that kids love, and many simple dishes for them too“

“My favorite chicken salad! All of the flavors I’ve had are very good. My favorite is the sassy scotty and the classic carol. The drive thru is so convenient and my wait time has always been short at this location whether it’s lunch time or dinner time. The staff is always polite. I like the options available. Each serving is a standard scoop size with options for sandwiches and different bread types. The strawberry lemonade is so good!“

“Passing through a week ago and pulled this place up on Maps. Not going to lie, when it took us to a place in the gas station parking lot we were not sure but decided to go in and see what they had since there was a constant flow of people doing pickups. We had catfish, wings, chicken gizzards and it was all very good. The catfish was our favorite! Only 2 tables inside but not many folks were eating in, mostly call ahead for pickup. To top it off, I accidentally left my purse on the back of the seat and didn’t realize until we were back home 2 hours away. In a panic, I called and they had just found it and put in the office for me to go back to pick up the next day. Not only hood food but trustworthy people as well!!! I’d definitely go back next time I’m in the area to support these folks.“

“So, I got introduced to this place about 3 years ago and I haven't stopped coming since. The Laurel lemon basil chicken salad is amazing???, and I don't eat Mayo, but the way it's prepared at this store, you can barely taste it. This is a new fav of mines??“

“The food is great, service is usually always great, the young hostess with the long blonde hair was grumpy. She tried to sit us outside without asking if we wanted to sit outside. I politely asked her if we could sit inside. She stood there for few seconds with a look of disgust and annoyance. Some people have bad allergies and can’t sit outside this time of year she should ask guests what their preference is and then not give them an attitude about not wanting to sit outside. It made it very uncomfortable and unprofessional of her.“

“If you are looking for a good "Home Cooked Meal^ this is the BEST place!!“

“Love love the chicken livers ?. Plus country fried steak. Creamed corn, fried okra are my go to veggies. Many many many years ago they had a strawberry shortcake that was the best I've ever had, anywhere! Oh how I wish they still had it available ?“

“Excellent attentive service with wonderful food but the prices are not for the faint of heart. Everything is a la carte so that dinner salad will cost you. A very nice extra special treat. My daughter was served a creme brulee dessert for her birthday and she said the crust was very hard to get right and it was executed perfectly here.“

“Loretta's food is extremely good (as evidenced by the wrap around drive thru line), but their customer service is over the top! They know my voice at the drive thru mic/speaker and know what my regular order is. If I skip the popular drive thru line and go in, and if they see me coming, they often have my order ready to go and waiting for me at the cash register. Just awesome people inside! (Yes, Daniel and Maria, I'm talking about you!)“

“Love the outdoor patio and fire pits!“

“BBQ is amazing! coleslaw to chunky, but nice flavor. baked beans good. French fries ok. Brunswick stew good, but tastes to much like BBQ instead of stew.Cheeseburger is large & delicious. sides are too small for the price.They need to put a large SIGN at the turn off!! it's very hard to find.“

“Highly recommend. Originally was looking for a place that serviced fried green tomatoes and found so much more. Never knew this little gem existed! My husband had shrimp and I had crab cakes. Both were beyond awesome and fulfilling. Super friendly service. Repeat visit a must!“
