Restaurants near Oconee County Welcome Center

First time visiting the dining room. We have been before for drinks and pizza at the bar. Another wonderful experience From start to finish, everything was top notch! The hostess was cordial and quickly seated us and took our beverage order. The staff was attentive. Our server, Thomas, was knowledgeable and helpful. The beverages and food were exceptional! And the dessert, 😳

We dined for our Christmas Eve meal and place decorated tastefully and enjoyed the stringed lights while nice Christmas music played softly in the background. Food was outstanding from salad to turkey! Chloe our waitress was delightful and she’s an outstanding waitress. Manager stopped by to see how things were and wished us Merry Christmas. Overall outstanding Christmas Eve meal, atmosphere and service!

We were seated right away and our server was just the right amount attentive. The pizza was phenomenal as was the cauliflower although the portion size was a little on the small side. Nice selection of beer. It was a very nice meal enjoyed in a timely manner.

H&W knocked it out of the park for my wife's retirement dinner! We had a private room for our party of 9, which was a surprise as we thought we would be in the main dining room. The service team was first class, and they made my wife feel special for the occasion. The restaurant has a great ambiance, a very energetic vibe, and nicely decorated for the holiday season. The food was great, including the apps and sides, and our entire crew enjoyed their meal! This is the second time we have been the H&W, and we will be back shortly for another occasion!

We are VERY sad tho hear that the new landlords have informed Cafe on Lumpkin that they can no longer remain in their current space. This is very disheartening. I really hope they are able to continue in a different location, and I hope the new owner of the building understands how disappointed the Athens community feels about the closure of Cafe on Lumpkin.
