About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
In the mountains of North Georgia the Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant has been welcoming guests since 1922. Restored in 2008, the hotel and restaurant offer the best of rustic elegance. From the antique heart pine walls to the locust beams on our deck, expect unique, local craftsmanship. The decor is rich with period antiques, hand-woven rugs, and local artwork.

It features a creatively prepared and presented Contemporary American menu with a Southern twist in the farm to table tradition. Fresh produce locally grown is hand selected and prepared by our Chef de Cuisine, whose entrees respect the natural flavors of high quality, humanely raised and locally harvested food. His kitchen produces cuisines from many regions including Classical French, Southern USA, and Mediterranean. Many guests describe the food at the Lake Rabun Hotel as "the best in the mountains."

    Starting with the calamari was an excellent choice as it was the most tender and perfectly prepared -ever! The trout was also delicious and the dessert cobbler all that! Our server was attentive and personable contributing to an outstanding evening.

    Second time here and meal and staff were wonderful! We also stayed at the inn and it was also enjoyable. Rooms with queen beds were a bit small, but we knew that going in. The. complimentary breakfast was a lot of food freshly made. We very much enjoyed our stay.

    We’ve eaten at the Lake Rabun restaurant 6 or 7 times. It has been superb every time which is why we keep going back. The food is fantastic, the Lodge and restaurant are beautiful, rustic and make you love being there and the staff are wonderful. It is a bit on the high cost side but with so few rooms and a small restaurant, to have the level of food and staff they do it has to be I’m sure. That said it is more than worth it. Every time we come up From Savannah we will either stay here or get to this restaurant to eat. It is a must for us!
    Lake Rabun Hotel and RestaurantResponded on April 13, 2025
    Hi Lou! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and continued support! We're honored to be a regular stop for you when you're visiting from Savannah. It means a great deal to know that the food, atmosphere, and service keep bringing you back. We truly appreciate your kind words and understanding of the care that goes into creating a special experience here. We look forward to welcoming you again soon—whether for a stay or another great meal!

    Had to ask for special of the day/weekend. Had to ask for water refill. When we ordered dessert we also ordered coffee. Never got the coffee! Restaurant was not busy!!! Waitress could have been more attentive being the restaurant was not busy tonight.
    Lake Rabun Hotel and RestaurantResponded on March 30, 2025
    Good afternoon, Wayne. We sincerely apologize for the service you experienced during your visit. It’s disappointing to hear that our team was not as attentive as they should have been, especially when it comes to providing information about specials and ensuring timely refills. This is not the level of service we strive for, and we truly regret that we let you down. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we will be addressing these concerns with our staff to ensure that every guest receives the attentive and seamless experience they deserve. We would love the opportunity to make it up to you and provide the outstanding service we’re known for. I will be reaching out to you directly as well. We greatly appreciate your business and all your support.
