This was our 2nd time to The Falls. 1st time it was rainy and foggy, so no view. We went again with our senior group, and the day was beautiful. View was terrific, Brunch....not so much. We had 17 people with a reservation. Arrived, and nothing was set up, so we ended up sitting at 3 different tables....so much for going as a group. Price was $18.95 per person (senior rate), which didn't include even coffee. Very expensive for what you get. They had one person making omelets and slicing meat, so that service was slow. My friend asked him about wearing gloves to handle food, and he said they didn't have any. The buffet fair was mediocre at best....would never go back.

Thank you for taking the time to dine with us at the Maple Restaurant. I would like to apologize again about not being able to set your party on the window where you asked us to, as I stated then not possible to turn those tables as it blocks the aisles.
We did have the 3 large rounds as an option which provide a fantastic view, and most of our groups that want to be by the windows opt for this.
We love our customer feed back, and always feel that we can grow from the comments we receive. If you would like to contact me directly I would love to discuss what you feel we could do better.
I look forward to speaking with you,

Unsanitary handling of food. The main server directly handled meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. with his bare hands and refused to put gloves on after we had requested. Most food items were bad tasting and poorly seasoned. We had gone there with 16 of our Senior Group and the only positive items were the deserts and the coffee. The meal is extremely over-priced and probably very risky health-wise.
The views of the mountains from the lodge deck are wonderful and the falls are beautiful.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit. I am sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations, Sunday Brunch is one of our most talked about buffets. I would like to say that we have many food handling practices in place, and when I took our omelet maker a box of gloves he wore them throughout the entirety of the brunch.
I would have loved to speak with you more while you were here, as I felt that we had remedied your concerns at that time, I am sorry that we didn't.
please feel free to contact me, as I am always available for our guests.

My wife and I spend a great afternoon at the falls, very well worth the trip. Extremely scenic and a nice hike....Eat before you go. The Lodge charges $16 for a buffet which was extremely mediocre. Dry chicken, baked fries, soup was bland and Luke warm, green bean had no seasoning and seemed to come right out of the can. Do yourself a favor and go to Dahlonega, the Yahoo Grill is great.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Maple Restaurant, I am sorry that you did not enjoy visit. I always encourage our guests to speak with myself, or my lead servers if they are not happy with the food so that we may remedy the situation at that moment.
It would have been our pleasure to fry fresher French fries for you and your wife, and more chicken as well if it weren't up to par.
Since weekends are such busy family hiking days, we do try to make sure that there is something for everyone. We welcome your feedback and suggestions. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me directly.

The staff is wonderful.We stayed at the Lodge for 3 nights. Beautiful rooms overlooking falls and mountains. Very well appointed with USB plugs etc. Wifi reception is in common areas only. Occasionally got a signal in room.
Attended a wedding rehearsal dinner here in lower level the food was wonderful.
The upper-level restaurant is buffet style, the menu is more diverse than I expected for a state park. Excellent varied choices for all taste. Was surprised by their wine selection.
