The Open Door at Alley's Ol' Store — Restaurant in Georgia

Love this place, food and area! We will go way out of our way to come here! The homemade food is delicious and fresh. The desserts are awesome. The ambiance is great. I love the different eating areas, whether inside, outside on the porch, or across the street in their pavilion, watching the river. The gift shop(in the back and upstairs) is great too...I always find something I have to have. The whole place is so homey and relaxing. They make my absolute favorite sandwich (the harvest), and it's soooo yummy! Melt in your mouth! The slightly salty, creamy, warm goat cheese paired with the thin pieces of the sweet/tart granny Smith apples and the apple butter are so genius! The deviled eggs are delicious, too. Gotta get those as your side or appetizer. Great people. Also, you've got to check out their to-go freezer. They have homemade and delicious lasagna, pot pies, shepherds pie, soups, etc....

This stop was the hidden gem of our mountains of GA and NC vacation. We were staving and the pickings were lean in the area so we stopped at this very cute little place to try and find some food. We found a wonderful lunch counter style eating establishment with a cute little shop. The folks running it were very sweat, wonderful, southern ladies who know how to make great food and provided excellent customer service. We were very impressed and wished we could spend even longer there (even the bathroom was adorable and very clean…a rarity when you travel). As a bonus, the store also owns a little park across the river where you can sit by a nice little river and eat in the shade. Very picturesque and chill when you have been driving all over creation and hiking all day. Highly recommend stopping in if you are...

Stopped by for lunch. Ordered a couple of sandwiches and a cilantro lime slaw. The sandwiches were good. The workers were friendly. The reason for the 3 stars is because the girl who took our order had no knowledge of anything on the menu, she wasn't able to answer any questions about the menu . The menu itself was not clear if the sandwiches came with drinks, chips ect.. so we were surprised to receive chips with our sandwiches. The girl had asked if we wanted drinks and we declined as we thought they were extra but now I'm wondering if the $20.00 we paid for two ham sandwiches were supposed to include drinks as well. Idk as the menu does not clarify. Also we did not receive a cilantro lime slaw. It was a mayo slaw. The merchandise in the store was also overpriced.

Good...
