The food was delicious and the beer selection was excellent. The schnitzel with gravy is absolutely worth ordering. The pretzel as an appetizer was also really nice, especially with the beer cheese sauce. The seating right next to the river is lovely but otherwise the outdoor seating options aren’t fantastic. Although, the indoor seating also looked like a decent option.

Phenomenal German food with an amazing outdoor view of the river. Great selection in the menu. My kids even enjoyed everything. Pretzels and Beer Cheese Dip was better than any I had in Germany earlier this year. Service was great too!

Absolutely great experience. We stick with appetizers and I highly recommend the bang bang shrimp. Not too heavily battered nor greasy and amazing sauce. The drinks were well crafted and the bartender service was exceptional. Definitely a spot we’ll visit again.

My daughter and I chose to eat at this restaurant due to the popular location right at the bridge of downtown Helen. It was neat to sit and watch the people tubing down the river. You also can see all the MANY padlocks that have been placed on the fence under the bridge. Our servers were great and very timely. Our order of pretzel and beer cheese were mediocre (only disappointment). Our sandwiches were very good though. Still recommend trying them out. We would come again to try more on the menu when returning.

The only reason I won’t give The Troll a 5 ⭐️ is just for me being picky. The wait staff are good, but sometimes not great. I live about 2 hours away and I’ve been coming to Helen 2-3 times a year for over 30 years, so I have some experience coming here quite a bit. The Troll has gotten better since I first started coming here. They have a fairly big menu and the food is really good most of the time and great some of the time. (Again, this is me being picky). When we’ve had large parties come in, more times than not, the orders are wrong and most of the wait staff are great and fix any issues right away. There has been occasions when 1 or 2 of them wasn’t so eager to fix an issue and their attitude reflected it. This is a very busy restaurant, so I understand that sometimes things get crazy and mixed up, so I understand it can get frustrating for the wait staff & cooks. Overall, this place is very good! More times than not, we order German fare. As I said, a large menu to accommodate all walks of life, great beer selection, large indoor seating w/ a bar, outside raised deck and patio next to the river. I always suggest The Troll to anyone visiting, as they usually do a very good job.

The Troll Tavern has one of the best locations in town by the river. The food is your normal bar food options with a large drink menu. The fish and chips were delicious along with the buffalo wrap. A must try is the pickle fries! Better then spears these things were awesome!

The food was okay. The view of the Chattahoochee river was enjoyable because you can watch the people floating on the tubes or, fishing. It was an extremely hot day. Temperature in the high 90s with heat index 102° there is seating available inside with air conditioning.

Fun little joint to sit by the river, cool off, and watch the tubers get stuck on a rock. The vegetarian wrap could have used a little love (maybe add hummus or a house made sauce) but it was otherwise tasty. The beer cheese soup was exceptional and the chicken was cooked to perfection… No pink but wonderfully juicy. Could not tell if the Kraut was in-house made or from a jar but it paired very well over my chicken 🙂

Troll Tavern is a cool place right beside the river to grab drinks & a meal. They have indoor & outdoor seating, also a full bar. We had drinks while waiting on an outside table with great views of the river. Food was good. I had the Muffalotta with a Strawberry Margarita. Service was excellent, waitstaff are super friendly. Definitely a great place.
