Overview
Behind every great restaurant is a chef who really knows their stuff, and at Yahoola Creek Grill, that chef is Rick Whorf. After years of working in the food business, Rick’s passion and love for cooking up creative American dishes has never faltered. Because he’s so enthusiastic about offering new and exciting foods for his customers to enjoy, the menu at Yahoola Creek Grill is shaken up on a seasonal basis. Not only does that allow patrons the opportunity to experience something fun and different, but it also ensures that only the freshest seasonal ingredients are used in the food prep process.
But no matter what time of year you’re visiting northern Georgia, you’re sure to find something that will inspire your taste buds and reinvigorate your love for classic All-American cuisine during lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch.
The changing seasons may also dictate how you choose to enjoy your food. On a warm, beautiful northern Georgia day, you’ll want to take in the views and fresh air from the restaurant’s spacious deck area, whereas on a crisp autumn afternoon, you might prefer to remain indoors (although heaters and cozy fleece blankets are available if you ask!)
Menu At-a-Glance
There’s a reason why Yahoola Creek Grill draws visitors from the Helen area: it has an incredible selection of superior appetizers, main dishes, drinks, and desserts.
Start things off right with authentic southern fried green tomatoes, fried dill pickles, sweet potato and beet kettle chips, or hummus. For those looking to enjoy a light lunch or dinner, you’ll be pleased to see that the menu offers a huge selection of succulent salads. Veggie-rich and classic chopped, spinach, and Caesar salads are available, but you’ll also be able to choose from more original dishes including the grill’s crab salad, or ribeye steak salad. Pair it off with a cup of homemade soup, wrap, or sandwich to round off the meal.
You’ll find just about everything, from BLT Panini, burgers, grouper sandwiches, turkey melts, and old fashioned meatloaf sandwiches. Entrees are sure to please your palette, as well. Choose from fresh fish and seafood dishes like grouper tacos or shrimp and grits, or stick with the main land as you dig into chicken pot pie, pork chops, chicken and waffles, or steak. And don’t forget to come by for Sunday Brunch, featuring mouth-watering French toast, omelets, waffles, and more!
With so many incredible options, you will need to come back for a second visit!
Specials
The food at Yahoola Creek Grill is always affordable and well worth the value, but the restaurant’s lunch, weekend, and holiday specials really take things over the top. No one wants to spend an arm and a leg for lunch, which is why the restaurant offers a special $8.99 lunch menu offering soups, salads, sandwiches, and more.
Weekend specials change from time-to-time, but are always posted on the Yahoola Creek website, so be sure to check it out before your visit so that you can enjoy savings on mouth-watering dishes like Baked Crab Au Gratin or Mediterranean Filet from Friday night through Sunday evening.
