We were doing spring time yard work, and we decided to take a break. We had never been to the Recess Gastro Pub, so decided to give it a try.The rare London Broil roast beef sandwich was most excellent, and I had a porter that they have on tap. Great food and brew.Jennifer Woodcock and Allanah Smith were our bartenders, and the service was excellent. A great place to hang out on a Saturday afternoon.

This is the place where locals and visitors will line up to have a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner. Expect a great selection of scrambled eggs, meats, biscuits and vegetables depending on what meal you choose. Their fried chicken is wonderful. Their cinnamon rolls are big enough to share. You can get comfort food like salmon patties and meatloaf depending on the day of the week. Arrive hungry.

Visited Scottâs with family and friends. Beautiful restaurant, staff are very professional and attentive without being intrusive. Live jazz as a background. Food was exceptional, had the ribeye myself. Wonderfully cooked to a perfect med /rare. Everyone loved their choices. We drove 70 miles to eat here and it was well worth the effort. Will definitely return next time weâre in N Georgia.

I love the crust. Itâs not thick and itâs not thin. Itâs just right to pick up and eat. They know their way around a pizza here. Toppings are generously applied and they use primo ingredients like thick bacon. Salads are well crafted as well. Service is unpredictable but usually agreeable. They lucked up securing the property. Itâs an old home on historic Green st downtown Thank you so much for this great review. We really do take pride in the crafting of our pies and using the best ingredients. We appreciate you!Stay Mellow;)

We found 2 Dog Restaurant by accident driving back from Chattanooga, TN. It was mid afternoon so the place was not busy for a Thursday. We had ordered sandwiches and a cold drink. One on tap! Outstanding! This is just a cute place, very laid back with character. So glad we found it. Service was good.

Local Dive Bar and Restaurant with Pool Tables, TV's, live music, Karaoke, Trivia and Poker. All of the food is high quality and from scratch with the best ingredients!
Reviewed By LanaLJ
Although Mule Camp is a tavern, the food they serve would make any chef from a top scale, 5 star establishment, proud! The food is fresh, the menu creative, and the presentation is exceptional! Mule Camp is unique, unexpected, and a wonderful surprise! (Something you hope to experience from an American tavern, but rarely find). The food isn't the only impressive element that separates Mule Camp from other bars/taverns; I found it to be clean, excellent service (friendly and eager to accommodate you), and they provide top local bands for concerts and shows on the weekend.
