“Best pizza and wings of ALL TIME. Made a 30-minute drive to try this place and I will be doing it many more times. We ordered salad, garlic knots, a deep dish chicken pizza, and the smoked wings. It was all truly the best I’ve had! Even the salad and ranch was top-tier! Everything was so fresh and came out quickly. There’s no doubt in my mind that their other items are just as perfect. The atmosphere is perfect for a quick lunch stop or a family dinner. Very home-feeling and laid back. The staff was so kind and attentive!“

“Perhaps my favorite place to eat!!! Great atmosphere and food to match! Service is wonderful… dessert, out of this world!!! Every trip to Dalton involves a stop here for a delightful lunch!!! ♥️Parking: After the lunch crowd, there was plenty of parking available nearby.“

“Always so good!! So worth stopping by. My favorite breakfast place in ringgold ? the servers are so sweet and in my experience the service is always very prompt. Both breakfast and lunch are great. Very affordable. 10/10. Never had a bad experience here.“

“Today was my first time visiting and I can say it was a great experience. The highlight of my lunch was the hot tea I tried. They have a variety to chose from. I went for an herbal tea. Tank you Chelsea's for your amazing establishment. I highly recommend their tea and what they got to offer. I had a seasonal salad for brunch. It was fulfilling.“

“We didn't have to wait long and they were busy. We had a party of 5. The food was good. I had an omelet but the eggs were a little runny. Thats why I gave it a 4. The waitress was attentive although very busy. Overall, I would visit again when I'm back in town.“

“My boyfriend and I love this place!! Their food is always cooked to perfection. I usually order boneless wings and they are huge almost tender size sometimes! The fries are crinkle cut and not overly seasoned. Wings are always juicy and full of chicken and not 90% breading. Definitely recommend!“

“Thank you to Bailey's for catering Oakwood Christian Academy's Grandparent's Day last week! Everyone loved their BBQ sandwiches! It was delicious! It was a great experience to work with you and it was a hit with our staff, families and kids!“

“Had an unexpected stay here in Dalton and decided to wander over here from the hotel. I would absolutely come back here. Heather and Kelly were phenomenal. Some dang good customer service here. Not one drink went empty without another on its way. They were very friendly and attentive. Keep it up!“

“It's almost the setting of a Deep-South "Alice"; it's the same every time I go, and has been so for the last 30 years.The decor, The Long-Time Locals, The Staff, the exchanges and witty banter....it's a fantastic meal and a show every time we eat there.The experience alone is worth the price of admission, not to mention THE FOOD!! It makes me wish I had 2 mouths and 4 hands...Y'all go on and try it if you haven't already. You'll be back.“

“Took my wife and daughter here for breakfast on Easter morning 2024 since we were from out of town. A gentleman we sat next to at the bar paid for our meal when leaving saying He is Risen!Thank you to this man who said he worked for Catoosa county. It was a very nice gesture from a stranger.Also the staff was dressed in bright Easter colors and in a cheerful mood. Since our meal had been paid for, we gave our waitress the amount we would have had to pay for our meal.“

“Such a fun restaurant with great food and lots of character. The owners, Christina and Michael, are so friendly and delightful! Everything on the menu is delicious, but you've got to try their cheeseburger made with freshly ground meat and fresh vegetables. Christina's cakes are so moist, made fresh daily, and delicious!! Great place and great food!!“

“Ate here twice today!!! It was wonderful. As always!!! Took a bit but that’s to be expected on the very first opening day with the reputation that the restaurant had from years ago!!! Good luck Aunt Effie’s staff and owners!!! We’ll probably be one family that will keep you in business!!! We’ll be back a bjillion times!!! Plus!!! Love it!!! Great job!!! Now go home and rest!!!“

“Googled places to eat in Dalton (live in Calhoun) for my birthday dinner with the siblings and kids. This place popped up and I had never been. Always open to new places so this was it. Studied the menu ahead of time, just so I wouldn't be glued to it while everyone else was yucking it up having a good time. Circled a few things I leaned toward and crossed out what I probably wouldn't care for. The online menu isn't the same as the one given to you there btw. More items listed on the physical menu. Didn't make a difference in what I ordered, but it would be nice if they updated their online version. Cold Creek is sold as a brew pub type place, sorta "bougie". At least from what I could tell online. Think City Cellar in Cartersville. Got there and was immediately taken aback by the nondescriptiveness of the exterior. Almost made me second guess my decision. Looked way more biker bar than bougie. Went inside and was greeted by what appeared to be either the owners or frequent patrons at a table who directed us to wherever we could fit our party of 7. Wednesdays are live music nights which was a bonus. The dude was setting up as we sat down. Our server was Kristy and she was outstanding. She may have been the only server on duty. Kristy was attentive without being overbearing. Drink orders taken in a timely manner, then appetizers, and finally entrées. No complaints at all concerning service. Granted, the place wasn't packed. But it was a Wednesday night. I hope they are slammed on weekends. Mainly because the food was awesome, even for what is basically bar food. My son and I ordered loaded fries and fried mushrooms first. Thoroughly enjoyed both. A few others ordered different things, and from what I was able to try, it was all really good. They have craft beers which I understand, is how the place got its start. What I ordered was fine for what I thought I'd get. Entrées soon came. Son ordered the Smoked Brisket & Bourbon Sandwich and I the B.E.L.T. Burger (think fried egg on top). Fries and onion rings for the sides. It was all excellent. Zero complaints about the food at all. Nada. Prices are reasonable for what you get service was outstanding. Atmosphere is laid back and I was comfy in jeans, untucked button down, and ball cap. Not sure how often, but I will defintely be back. Wish I had taken a pic of my burger. It was fairly epic. Recommend all the way to 11.“

“We went to eat, for 2 adults and 3 kids was $50.25.The poor waitress had been there over 12 hours already.We didn't expect much ad there were many dirty tables as we entered. Our waitress was great and cut up with us. Food was good but seemed overpriced for 1 plate specifically, which was the Bacon Philly Sandwich and hashbrowns. It was good but not worth $12.Overall we were all fed, drinks never ran out, waitress had a great attitude.“

“I love waffle house. There food is really really good. I could eat it everyday. The employees are really nice and friendly. They sure do know how to put a smile on ur face. The food took no time to cook. An innever had to ask for a refill cause they kept it full at all times. Very clean inside and outside. The bathrooms was actually clean and smelt good to. If I had to give this one a score I would five them a 10 cause they are doing a great job. Keep it up .“

“The ribs were great in my opinion. The sides were good. Great service and country vibe you’d expect from a BBQ joint. Reasonably priced too.My son can’t eat pork so he had chicken but still experienced a bit of a stomach reaction, so for anyone else with that type of concern it might be best not to risk it.Overall great spot for some BBQ.“

“I don’t care what the servers look like or the people who don’t like it because the floors are sticky with syrup and cleaning supplies or the smell, but I came here before at three in the morning and ordered a Texas Patty Melt with Hash browns (925 cal). I forgot how much it was but online without tax or tip it is listed as $8.20. If I was asked to describe it in one word I would say, “DEVOURED”. The waitress was so pleasant and was actually aware of my presents seeing how she was familiar with my uncle. Food was good and so is the staff if you want late night food COME HERE. Because you won’t see better breakfast food. Compared to your fancy Roman Empire called IHOP this is better, IHOP claims to have sweet pancakes and BUTTERED up biscuits. Pancakes were dry and so was the biscuit. The orange juice? CANT COMPARE. And their not open all night. GO TO WAFFLE HOUSE ❤️Parking: EAST AND VARIETY SPORSKid-friendliness: Nice to childeren! GREAT STAFF“

“We had a great visit at the Dalton Cracker Barrel. Food was perfect. I had the grilled chicken tenders, carrots, greens, and fried apples. Couldn’t eat it all and took it home for tomorrow! My husband had the country fried steak, green beans, and pintos. He ate all of it! Our server was Stefani and was very attentive.“

“What a fantastic and delicious meal! Not to mention, even better service. Dallas, our server, did a great job in making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. My husband and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. Of all the restaurants to choose from, since we had eaten here several times and were very pleased, we wanted to go again and boy, are we glad we did! The food, service and atmosphere was phenonomenal and it made a special occasion even more special. The wonderful manager came to our table, too. Thanks for all you do! We even bought their seasoning to use at home, but we will definitely be back!“
