Liked:The pizza was decent and the price was average. Looked like they had a variety of beer. Disliked: very eclectic staff - kinda distracting

My friends and I came to Nacoochee's Tavern for lunch while stating in Helen. We had to wait for about twenty minutes for a table to free up. We asked if we could sit outside, but were denied because they said it was a bit wet, and were worried it would start raining again... We sat down and were treated... More

The food here is excellent, especially the pizza! Unfortunately, we've never had a good experience with the servers. They are slow and forgetful. But the pizza is worth dealing with poor service. We sometimes get it to-go if we don't want to deal with it.

I always want to try something new. The use of seasoning, fresh breads, hand-tossed pizza crusts, and fresh cheeses really sets this place apart. Would think twice about bringing children who are nervous about trying new things.

This review will start out as highly recommended, however, after the Manager/Waitress spilled oily vinaigrette salad dressing on my pants, it will not end so highly recommended. My spouse and I had lunch on 5/14 to the tune of $40.00 plus. We indulged in appetizers an wine. All was well. Food and service was great. Meg was our server. The... More

We arrived at about 7:30pm and found, to our dismay, a fully packed restaurant. Due to rain, the outdoor patio was not an option. Offered the last table closest to the door, our growling stomachs demanded we accept and order as soon as possible. Our waitress was all but running from table to table to please the customers, and an... More

We loved this restaurant. They have the very best pizza you will ever eat. The place is very small but they do have a large area outside in order to eat. It was raining so that section was not available. It was pretty crowded, but that just means that it's a great place to be. It's located right as you... More

The pizza and sandwiches are very good. Pizza closer to flatter NY style, instead of typical southern type.

Thanks for the great review . Our pizza is a cross between a NY style and a authentic Neopolitan pizza. I dont i know what a southern pizza is, but i can tell you our pizza crust is more about what is not in it then what is. We try to do everything the artisan way from the flour to... More

The pizza is real pizza in a real oven and one of the best around. I also have had quite a few subs and they are great and large. They have one sub that is a challenge to eat even for a big eater.
