Smith House - Dahlonega, GA

The Smith House is an elbow-to-elbow eatfest. Tables are communal, shared by local folks and visitors, who all behave as though they were at a family party, passing platters back and forth, chattering happily about the delicious food. Count on fried chicken, supplemented by Brunswick stew or catfish and hushpuppies.
