Very cute with delicious sandwiches and salads. The take out food is great also. They could be friendlier but I guess you can't be too picky.

DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I stopped here for lunch after a morning hike in the area. I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and he got the quiche with deviled eggs. Everything was delicious - you can tell it was cooked and prepared with care, attention, and quality ingredients. We sat on the outside patio to eat which is such a lovely space. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

This is “THAT Place “ you look for if you’re wanting great quality, service and small town comfort. The Nutritionist behind the scenes has nailed flavors with healthy. The staff was exceptional and very friendly. We can’t wait to go back.

The Open Door was eclectic and super cool; it almost felt like you were going back into time. Menu options offered variety and the beverage menu was exceptional. We visited during the week so it was very quiet but quaint. Loved the decor and layout. We will definitely revisit when we’re driving back to the mountains. Great place!

We visited Thursday after a short hike at Tallulah Gorge before the Nicole rain. Ordered Pimento sandwich, lentil soup, and tomato basil soup. Their pimento was excellent. Also, the lentil soup was very tasty. Yum! Haven't had the tomato soup yet. Lakemont is a nice area, have stayed there before.

If you're in the Tahulla falls area, this is a must do little general store with great food. It's located in lakemont just a few miles from the state park.

Such a beautiful place. My wife and I have visited and revisited over the past many years, and neither the staff nor the food has disappointed. The staff is always so welcoming, food is beyond tasty... Lakemont is a slice of heaven, why not have friendly faces and a great lunch while you're there?

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 anywhere nearby.
