Great place to grab lunch! Clean restrooms, friendly staff and food was fantastic. Reasonable prices too! Dill chicken salad (not a single piece of bad salad or veggie) and kids grilled cheese with waffle fries!

Good quick place to eat, it's a little expensive but fills the hollow spot! We needed a quick bite because we didn't eat before we rode our bikes for several miles! Had a headache but this helped me out with that! I would recommend for a quick bite to eat.

Very best place to visit, bird watch, many flowers and gardens and lakes. Very happy place to visit, very friendly people and everyone having a good time. Discovery center is great for learning about the birds of prey and so many other wild birds and animals

This is our go to place to grab a bite to eat after watching the Birds of Prey show at Callaway Gardens. The staff is always incredibly friendly and the food is quite tasty. We've really enjoyed the dill chicken salad sandwich and the fries are always delicious.

Excellent fries!! Actually probably the best I've ever had, very crispy but not overcooked. We shared a basket but after the first bite, realized I should have gotten my own. We just shared the fries as a snack so I can't address the rest of the menu, but I definitely plan on returning!
