If you’re looking for a fantastic hole in the wall restaurant, Hoochie is the place! We loved it so much that we ate here 3 times while on our vacation to Helen! Breakfast and lunch is phenomenal! My husband even got lunch for breakfast one morning. It’s a small restaurant, but the staff is friendly and the service is fast and definitely worth the trip! We highly recommend trying the breakfast burrito, the Joey (sloppy joe), and the chopped cheese burger (which won best burger in Georgia award)! We will definitely be back!

This place doesn’t look like much on the outside but don’t let that stop you from stopping here to eat. These mom and pops places are always the best. My first time trying it and I’ve been to helen 5 times now. This by far has been the best place I’ve eaten at aside from the Thai place. The value for the amount of food is a great deal. I got the quiche Lorraine and a fathead biscuit. The quiche came with a side of bacon and it was nice and crispy just how I like it. The quiche and biscuit was also out of this world. Definitely eating here again next time I’m in helen. The view from the inside over looking the field across the street and the river running by was beautiful as well.

This family-owned spot served up the most delicious burger I’ve ever had; the smash burger is next-level. Everything tasted fresh, and the setting couldn’t be better. The restaurant sits right on the bank of a small river, with outdoor seating that gives you a quiet, scenic view.
The servers were friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a relaxed, genuine vibe. It’s tucked just outside the hustle of Main Street Helen, so getting there takes a little commitment—especially if there’s an event going on and traffic is backed up. We decided to walk the mile, and it was absolutely worth it.
If you’re heading toward Anna Ruby Falls, the restaurant is right at the junction. The washroom was spotless, and you’ll be greeted by a photo of a donkey with the caption “Nice Ass”—a perfect bit of humor to match the place’s charm.
Fresh food, great people, unbeatable setting. Don’t miss it.

Great food, great prices, great portions , and amazing seating right off the Chattahoochee.
We had breakfast and lunch here, two different visits.
Breakfast we had chocolate chip pancakes , cold brew infused French toast.
Pancakes were huge , soft , and full of flavors
French toast was MASSIVE. Cream cheese in the middle. Amazing.
Lunch we had the chicken Philly and the Bodega Burger.
Super delicious burger. Tons of flavor, breaker was juicy and not dry AT ALL. If you are in Helen, this is a must.

By the river so calm, what a breakfast delight,
Hoochee’s River Basket gets it just right!
Eggs cooked just perfect, fluffy and fine,
With crispy potatoes that truly do shine.
Add savory sausage — oh my, oh my,
One bite of this plate and you’re sold, no lie!
Simple, delicious, and served with a smile,
Worth every step and worth every mile.
Five stars for Tiffany – I’ll say it again —
Hoochee’s is a must when you’re hungry in Helen!

We found this place as we were passing through and it was amazing. Staff was so friendly!! We got one of the smash burgers and a vegetarian option for a sandwich. Also got their signature fries. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and made from scratch. A very fun place and a great place to get a filling meal. 10/10 a must go. It is small but so worth it.

Really neat little roadside stop with mouthwatering burgers. I have tried the original hoochees burger, the hidden menu whiskey burger, and the breakfast burrito. All were great but my favorite was the original burger for its classic flavor and affordable price. They have a dog friendly outdoor patio right beside a creek with shade umbrellas and a little indoor seating area if it’s bad weather. Parking is tight but there are several spaces around the back to park or you can park out of the way at the gas station. If you are in Helen area go here!

Best breakfast and lunch in Helen! Everything on their menu is amazing. We usually go for the breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, biscuit with meat, egg and cheese, and potatoes. Their sausage is delicious (and they get their breakfast meats from a local distributor out of Gainesville, Georgia) and if you eat anything here, you won’t be disappointed. Their customer service is fabulous and we look forward to eating here anytime we head to Helen.. Do yourself a favor and give Hoochies a try for breakfast or lunch! If you go for lunch, try the Buddha burger or the Chicken Philly!!

The burgers were amazing, truly deliciously made. You have to try it! My only complaint about the food would be the size, I found it a little small but that is a personal preference. The food is delicious, the service was what disappointed me. In our party of 6, 3 of us had the same order of smash burgers and 2 of us had ordered a chopped cheese with bacon. The rest of us were all fulfilled with our order, but my mom was missing a patty and the bacon from her burger. My mom knew this because we compared all of our burgers to make sure we didn’t take anyones order, its common sense to differentiate them. When she went to show them, they told her that they had already given us the right burger and someone else in our party must’ve eaten it. Instead of just listening to us and placing the bacon on the burger which is literally all my mom wanted, they accused us of lying and refused to just look at the burger. There was zero need to come out with a receipt after the fact claiming that you brought it out and you know you did so it must’ve been one of our fault. At least look at the burger then correct if needed, but they refused to even acknowledge it. Truly a problem that could’ve been avoided. This is a pic of my burger, was great. I wish I got a photo of the burger that was done wrong.

If you’re looking for a little small place by the creek that has amazing food this is the place. So easily to be missed driving by. I highly recommend the bodega Burger. Cheese steaks are awesome. We ate and stared at the creek while sitting on the wooden patio.
