Reviews for The Troll Tavern in Helen, GA
Came across this place for dinner. It was a cold night so we sat inside. There was no wait time and service was fast. I wish it... would of been a more pleasant night so I could enjoy the outside atmosphere. It was still good inside though. Food was good. Ihad the lemon pepper salmon with German mashed potatoes and green beans. It didn't disappoint. Read more
Troll tavern is pretty unique and a good place to grab some food and beverages. There is inside and outside patio dining. The... outdoor area is covered by massive umbrellas, so you could eat out there in wet or hot weather. The inside isn't as Germanthemed as some of the other places in town. The food & service was good. Not the best Brats n Knots in town, but was still good.The Veal was cooked just right. The wait was about an hour during Oktoberfest, which wasn't that bad at all. Service was prompt,friendly and professional. Read more
A random stranger suggested this restaurant when we asked at Brasstown Bald if anyone has any restaurant recommendations. We... knew there would be a long wait for to Oktoberfest, but it really wasn't too bad. There were 6 in our party and as soon as wesat down we ordered two pretzels. They were served super fast and they were delicious! Dinner was served quicker than I thoughtit would be since it's Oktoberfest. We had a wonderful meal and the service was great. The German mashed potatoes were not good.I asked what they were and was told they had vinegar and bacon in the. She said they were really good. They tasted likeflavorless instant mashed potatoes. That being said everything else was delicious. My sister ordered the Reuben and asked us shecould have fries instead of mashed because she can't have vinegar. We enjoyed our meal and would go back. Just not order themashed potatoes. When we got home we looked at the bill and she charged us for the fries. Read more
Sneak down beneath the bridge for a delicious meal with an awesome view in Helen! Had a great Saturday dinner on their patio... overlooking the river. If you?ve ever been tubing in Helen and got yourself stuck on the rocks as you float through town andhad to (embarrassingly) get out of your tube and show your rear to all the people dining and drinking right there by theriverfront, THIS is the restaurant they are all eating at. Get yourself a riverside seat at Troll Tavern and YOU can be thelucky person on land giggling at the unfortunate beached tubers!! Ok, other than the giggling, our server was super sweet, theyhave a great selection of beers and fun local cocktails and I loved my German sausage platter!! I tried both kinds of sausage,and loved the German potato salad (basically mashed potatoes) with sour slaw. It was all awesome - and tons of food. I wasseriously stuffed. The burgers were big and juicy too. The meal took a while to come out, so I wouldn?t recommend going to thisrestaurant if you?re in a hurry. But, what?s the rush when the drinks are flowing and the view is lovely (and, at times,hilarious)? It was a great time to just hang out with our family and enjoy the evening by the riverfront. Will definitelyreturn on our next Helen visit. Read more
When in a German themed village you must get some German food and beer. We decided on the Troll Tavern since it?s against the... river and a hot spot in Helen. The service was definitely still short staffed and a little slow. We had a small hiccup in thebeginning but after that it was smooth sailing. They have a decent selection of beer local and German. As for the food it waspretty delicious!!!! The bratwurst platter was pretty good with kraut, red cabbage, rye bread and German potato salad. My wifegot the Reuben sandwich it was crispy and cook just right!! I decided on the glass boot souvenir mug which was about $32 withthe beer and filling. The only complaint I will say and the reason I didn?t give them a higher rating is because of the decorand quality of the restaurant. This place needs some TLC and renovations especially with it being a big tourist location.Definitely check them out for the views and a drink! Read more
We had a wonderful time at the Troll Tavern. The river view was beautiful. Our server was Amazing. We were sitting on the deck... and our server allowed us to switch tables to get a better view of the river. She made sure we had our drinks topped off andbrought our food out in a timely manner. The food was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful time. Read more
Lunchtime New Years Day 2022. Good crowd but plenty of outdoor seating by the river under the bridge. Saw a troll we are pretty... sure. Food was excellent, Billy Goat burger phenomenal, wife had chicken salad salad said it was awesome. Staff was really funand was having a good time with 90?s rap playing in background. Fun for the family, check it out if you get a chance. Read more
