Caroline's on Main

Amazing atmosphere and even more amazing food! Very aesthetically pleasing. Super cute spot for a girls date. The service wasn’t the greatest, felt like our server forgot about us often but the food and atmosphere more than enough made up for it.

Absolutely loved this breakfast spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Portions were generous, and the coffee was excellent. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

People.. you're paying for quality of food, service, location and ambiance. It's worth it. If you dont want to pay, go to waffle house. This spot is nice and a cute place to come on a brunch date or with girlfriends. BANANA BREAD, CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AND CHICKEN SANDWHICH were all amazing. Portions were great as well. We took home half of everything! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. First off the place is so adorable. Pink walls and pink booths. The decor is so well thought out. The staff is so amazing. The mimosas are the best I’ve ever had. The avocado toast is to die for. Chicken and waffles is amazing and the French toast, Omg!!! It melts in your mouth. The whipped cream is homemade.

Very cute clean and pleasant place with great energy. The food was very delicious with lots of care to details in its production. I would assume to attention was given to the quality of the ingredients chosen for each food selection. The chicken and waffles is quite delectable and high recommended. It sits well in its amplitude of sweetness mixed with twist of flavors from the fried chicken to the cinnamon to the spices used to top the eggs with. Just do it and let me know what you think.

Quaint spot in downtown flowery branch. Bright and cozy environment, super friendly waitstaff. Food is sourced locally and always delicious. 10/10

Best Brunch in the area! Great atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food. Outdoor seating is available, though limited.

First time in the historical Flowery Branch. Downtown is beautiful, buildings are still in their original setting, boutiques, antique shops, and different restaurants choices. One of the merchants recommended all of the restaurants. Said they were all very good. I chose Caroline’s on Main. I should have left the moment I walked in. However, I wanted to see if it would get any better. The Hostess was not welcoming, asked how many, no smile, no personality. I said one. Hostess turned and pointed to the bar and said there are seats at the bar or it will be an hour wait. I chose the bar. Hostess handed me the menu and then pointed to the bar. Mind you, I’ve been shopping so I had a bag and my purse. I had to switch hands to take the menus and I seated myself. Red flag. As I was sitting down, I noticed 4 or 5 people behind the bar. Not one of them acknowledged me. I sat down, started looking at my menu. Not a hello, welcome, ill or one of us will be right with you. This went on for several minutes. Let me stress there are people cleaning glasses, making drinks, standing around. Finally a young gentleman acknowledged me, he asked if there was anything else I would like to drink besides water? No hi, welcome, I’m so in so, I’ll be your waiter, do you even want water? I said water is fine. Off he went, came back with water, and off he went again. Finally I was able to order. He gave me few of his favorite and I ordered the hamburger with gluten free bun. Food came out in a timely manner. Portion was good. Plate was presentable, nice size hamburger, French fries were in a frier basket on the plate, love this idea. Pickled onions, amazing, they had a horseradish flavored spread or dip with the meal. It was delicious. The meal was everything I could have asked for. 5 stars for the food. I saw my waiter 2 more times. There were long periods between each time. I also noticed the wait for being seated was not an hour. 20 minutes tops. There were no long lines when I walked in. I didn’t see anyone waiting. I will go back and give this place a second chance. I will recommend the restaurant to others. It was a disappointment to see so many staff walking around not giving the best customer service to their guest. No smiles, no one backing each other up, no one speaking to the customer’s on a regular basis. Hopefully things will improve. Like I said the food was delicious, I just didn’t like paying for this type of customer service. I know you can do better!

We wanted to try somewhere new, so we browsed Yelp and decided on this café. Street parking was limited, but there's a decent parking behind the restaurant, which was convenient. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a very pink, cozy interior -- cute and inviting. The café does get busy, so expect some hustle and bustle. Menu-wise, the selection felt limited compared to what we're used to. We started with the beignets, but unfortunately they were too dense and tough for our liking. The chocolate sauce didn't add much flavor either. For our mains, I ordered the Hopewell Farm grass-fed burger with pimento cheese, and my husband had the buttermilk pancakes. The burger was delicious -- the pimento cheese really elevated it. The horseradish is made in-house which was creamy and delicious...coming from someone who does not like horseradish. The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and very filling. Overall, the food was good and flavorful. Service was fine -- friendly but nothing remarkable. It's a cute spot to try once, especially if you like a photo-worthy atmosphere, but it probably wouldn't be our regular go-to.

What a super cute place ! Great for non vegans ! Definitely wished it was more diverse with vegan options ...in their menu! The service was friendly and quick! The food was amazing and they do have a variety of options for alcoholic drinks as well as non alcoholic beverages. Super cute spot will be coming back when in Georgia!

This was our first time here and the food at Caroline's was delicious and definitely a 5 star rating. The interior was super cute and clean. It's girly with lots of pink but has a chic cafe feel on an adorable little town square. The service was the one area that was lacking and why the 4 stars. The Good: The food was great. It was fresh and prepared very well. The avocado toast had tons of flavor, the bacon was perfectly cooked, the potatoes were crisp in the outside and soft on the inside, the sourdough toast was very good and the biscuit and the house made jam was on point. The Ehhh: We were seated immediately, which was great, but then we were forgotten. We sat there for about 15 minutes before anyone recognized that we had not been approached by a server. The place is pretty small inside and there was a ton of staff working so that should not have been the case. Once we were served, the server really didn't follow back up with us, even knowing that we were missed in the beginning. As someone who has done that job, that's definitely not the way to course correct. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that this is not the norm and see how the service is the next time we go. I would definitely recommend that you go and check them out.

All was beyond expectation! Little noisy though Need better acoustic dampening for sure Can't hear yourself talk that's how loud it gets

This is a fabulous little place on Main Street. The decor is a little cutesy - definitely will be a favorite with women - but the food is delicious and done well. Service was also good. We came during off hours as we traveled the area. I recommend you try this place. Let me know what you think.

Caroline's in downtown Flowery Branch is a gem that deserves all the love. I've been a few times now, and every single visit has been consistent, fresh, flavorful, and just impressive from start to finish. The location is right in the heart of downtown Flowery Branch, which has been growing fast and becoming a really cute, walkable area. Parking has never been a problem for me--though I typically visit during non-peak hours--but I can imagine it gets busier during prime brunch time. Still, it's worth the effort. The inside of Caroline's is honestly adorable. It has a charm and comfort that feels inviting right away. Great lighting, tasteful art, and very comfortable chairs (I appreciate that as a bigger guy). It feels thoughtful--like someone took their time designing a space that people would actually want to spend time in. Whether you're there with a significant other, family, or friends, it's just a great environment to enjoy a slow, delicious morning. Let's talk food. The menu is tight, and that's a great thing. It's clear they focus on a handful of items and knock them out of the park. Everything I've tried so far has been excellent. My wife can't get enough of their TK Sandwich: grilled sourdough, lettuce, tomato, Dunes mayo, white cheddar, bacon, egg, and she always adds avocado. It's balanced, fresh, and that grilled sourdough is crispy perfection. My first visit, I had their fried chicken & bourbon waffle with bacon jam, brown butter farm egg, maple syrup, and hot sauce foam (don't worry, it's flavorful--not spicy). I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best chicken and waffles I've had. The waffle is soft with just the right hint of sweetness, the chicken is tender and perfectly fried with a thin, crispy crust, and the bacon jam + syrup combo is just magic. Then came the sweet section. They serve a butter-fried banana bread topped with whipped cream, maple syrup, and fleur de sel. I'm a banana bread fan to begin with, but this is next level. It's the first time I've ever had it fried like this, and it was so good I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing before my meal. A must-try. On another visit, I tried their fried chicken sandwich--and let me tell you, it's the best chicken breakfast sandwich I've had in the area. Pimento cheese, bacon, Alabama white BBQ, and green tomato chow chow on a grilled brioche bun. It all came together perfectly. Now, the sides. The crispy potatoes are absolutely incredible. Golden, flavorful, soft inside with a perfect crisp outside--not too crunchy, just right. I forgot to order them the second time and got fries instead, and I was a little bummed... until I tasted the fries. Turns out, Caroline's also makes some of the best fries around. Flavorful, crispy, not greasy--just delicious. Caroline's has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots. Everything is made with care, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the food is consistently amazing. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend stopping by, supporting local, and giving them a well-earned shoutout. I'll definitely be back (again and again).

Classy! Stylish. Pink walls! Just so unexpected for little ole downtown Flowery Branch, GA. And yet, EXACTLY what Flowery Branch needs! Breakfast with a dear friend was just as perfect as the meal. Waitress was patient yet attentive. Potatoes crispy. Avocado toast spicy and satisfying. We'll definitely be back!

Great food, great service, all in a charming storefront restaurant. I look forward to a return visit!

Absolutely fantastic spot in quaint downtown Flowery Branch. The pancake was humongous and so good with the berry compote. Breakfast potatoes were cooked to perfection. Friendly, attentive staff. Pretty big space, so wait shouldn't be much of an issue at most times. Highly recommend stopping here!

What a great place! They pay attention to every detail. The service, atmosphere, and location are all fantastic. The food though is the best. We had the fried banana bread to start. It is sprinkled with powdered sugar, had a whip cream dipping sauce, and there was a pour cup of warm maple syrup. My wife had the avocado toast. It was dabbed with goat cheese, had a generous amount of crushed avocado and was full of flavor. It came with potatoes that had been fried in a cruncy coating. I had the fried chicken sandwich. The bread was grilled. There was a white bbq sauce for dipping. There was a delicious pimento cheese and bacon on it. There was a fresh tomato and lettuce. It was big, moist, and delicious. The sandwich also came with very flavorful seasoned fries. We highly recommend.

We loved it so much we ate here 3 times in one week. The chicken and waffles will change your life! The bagel with smoked salmon was piled high. Staff super friendly and attentive. Wonderful owner.

My family's first experience here was amazing. The menu offered a lot of great options, especially for lunch and brunch. The staff was very nice and pleasant. It was a great atmosphere overall. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

Caroline's might just be my new brunch obsession. The toasted banana bread? Life-changing. The burger? A masterpiece- pimento cheese, bacon, Chipotle BBQ sauce, mixed greens and peppers all living in perfect harmony. Mine was more well done than I like and the bun was a bit toasty, so l'd suggest ordering it medium for the best experience. The service was top-notch, and as a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I have to say-the vanilla latte was chef's kiss. 10/10, would happily brunch here every weekend.

Be prepared to wait! But it's worth it. We got there around 11 on a Saturday and it was about an hour wait. Luckily our group had a LOT to catch up on, so we didn't mind it. The food was good! We started with a bourbon pecan waffle for the table. Everyone got a few bites and it was so yummy. I ordered the fried chicken pimento sandwich for my meal. It was HUGE. And so good. The fries were okay, but could have used a little more salt in my opinion. Overall a great new addition to Flowery Branch. I can't wait to come back and try other items.

A very charming and busy place. The food is amazing. The banana bread was warm and delightful with the extra fluffy side of cream and syrup. Perfect! The Berry and Prosciutto sandwich was such a lovely balance of sweet and savory. The best combination. Not to mention the salty vinegar fries. Even the Pork Belly sandwich special killed it! I'm so thrilled to have another amazing place to eat in the area. Friendly and warm interior. Do yourself a favor and go!

Came here on opening day because we live close by And we love Antebellum! We are so excited to have a brunch spot and it does not disappoint! The aesthetic is something right out of sex in the city vibes, pink walls, gold and white accents- it was too crowded to take pictures today but you'll have to trust me on this. Unfortunately today they were out of many menu items but it's understandable and our second choices were very good. We didn't have any adult beverages today but the menu looks fun! Our server was very attentive and helpful. There a few tables outside as an option on a nice day but parking is a little scarce. Be prepared to walk a block or two however its free to park downtown here.

Great food, great service, great ambiance. I look forward to another visit when I can try more of the delicious sounding items on the menu!

Beautiful place and wonderful service. Food was good. Beignets were AMAZING. Drinks were fantastic. Some entrees in my opinion were little overpriced for what we got, but overall, lovely.

This was my second time here. First time was right after they opened so always like to see how things are going. We walked into a full restaurant met just inside the front door by the hostess and I believe the manager. We were sat right away. It was a Sunday at around 12:30 so was pleasantly surprised there was no wait. The decor is still cute as ever with the blush pink walls and bold accent wall. A great place for a special occasion or girls day! We ordered the hamburger and the classic breakfast. The only thing we did not like was the new bread for the hamburger. Last time it was a classic bun. The hamburger itself was tasty with a smoked flavor. The breakfast plate was great. The eggs buttery and tender the potatoes delicious and the sourdough... now that was excellent! Loved the flavor definitely will get again. I got a strawberry cupcake to go ( for research purposes) :) and it was SO good tender flavorful and sweeeet Yum! My take away.. wish they offered a classic bun for the hamburger but other than that a nice experience and good food

If there was a 10 star button I would have selected it! My husband and I had an awesome experience today. We went in for breakfast and it was busy, now I understand why. They made us a coffee and let us relax outside and checked on us and kept in touch about the wait. Everyone working their was behind nice and professional and trying their best to create a great environment. The food! We watched all the dishes come out while sitting at the bar. Everything, I mean, everything looked amazing. We had the In house cured salmon bagel with dill sauce, capers, pickled red onion, cucumber and tomato with a size of yummy crispy flavorful potatoes. I don't usually eat these but the flavor was spot on, I'm guessing parsley and rosemary. not overdone, just right. My hubby had the blueberry lemon zest pancakes with cream and blueberries, not over sweet. The pancake is so amazingly flavored, and bacon and eggs on the side. I will go back and have already told so many people. this is my new favorite place for breakfast and lunch options.

Ate here a few weeks ago when I was in town visiting my niece. The food was delicious and the server was very attentive. I highly recommend the avocado toast with egg but everything we had was definitely a good choice.

Everything was i have returned 4 times this remind me of the French quarter in New Orleans I really enjoy my meal.

Beautiful boutique eatery on Main Street. Food was very tasty. They pride themselves on their fries and rightly so. The combination of herbs and salt make the fries and potatoes delicious. Food is very well prepared. Menu has interesting choices. Something for everyone

Service was top notch at this little breakfast joint located in the sleepy little town of Flowery Branch. The food on the other hand was a major disappointment. The smoked salmon was almost flavorless on a terrible bagel and the roasted potatoes were just okay. My mother ordered the avocado toast with eggs, but the egg whites were still raw and runny. As good as the food looked, the flavor was too weak for me to recommend this little place.

This place was great. It's a small place, comfortable to share brunch, breakfast, or lunch. The staff were friendly and we received our food quickly with a perfect temperature. The food was perfectly cooked and what I liked most about it was that it wasn't greasy. The drinks were delicious as well. Will definitely be back.

The food is really great and the menu has some great options for everyone. The service was good and the server was polite and on top of everything.

This review is about service at breakfast. I arrived first and was the only customer. There were two workers in the dining area and I asked for coffee with cream. It came but there was no spoon inside the napkin on the table which wrapped the knife and fork or anywhere in sight to fetch it myself. I was preparing to use my knife to stir it when the waitress appeared. I asked her for a spoon. She disappeared hopefully to get me a one. No such luck. My two friends arrived and the waitress handed them menus, took their drink orders then delivered their sweet tea and coffee with cream. She took their food orders. Again no spoons were available or delivered to stir our coffees. The waitress came by and we requested spoons again. One came for my friend and then mine came a bit later after me asking again. In a few minutes the waitress came back to ask how everything was. My friend still hadn't received her bacon. It would have been nice to have been offered a coffee refill but that only came after my friend requested one. I had given up by then. The coffee was good--for $3.25/cup it should be. Wouldn't it be simpler to wrap a spoon inside the napkin along with the knife and fork? All this hassle for a damn spoon at a fancy place helps remind me why I rarely go out to eat anymore! I can get better, cheaper coffee and service at home.

Visiting from California, lucky enough to brunch at Caroline's on Main. Chef Nick has done it again with amazing, creative and delicious food. And a helpful friendly staff! Had the beignets, banana bread, TK Sammy, and chicken and waffles. We'll be back

Another awesome visit. We arrived near 10 am on a Thursday, and most tables were full or in the process of being cleaned. We were seated right away at a table for two. When you walk into Caroline's, there is a special place feeling you get with the pink walls, wood floors, and gold accents. A place where you see daddy/daughter, Mr. and Mrs., mom / son patrons type vibe. Olivia waited on us today, and she was on top of it and also knew when to let us talk. It appears many people linger and talk for a while after their meal. It is a place I feel good about tipping above 20% norm. Parking was not bad today on Main Street. After ordering our coffee and cappuccino, which, by the way, love their coffee. Olivia took our order. She had the Avacado toast with 2 sunny side up eggs and breakfast potatoes. I had the chicken and waffles with a fried egg on top. I also ordered a biscuit with jam on the side. Her Avacado toast was delicious with layers of texture and flavor. Also, I snuck one of her potatoes, wow, very tasty. My chicken and waffle was simply amazing. The chicken was fried perfectly hot and tasty, the waffle was crisp, and the fried egg on top added much flavor to a dish that already had awesome flavor. The hot sauce taste was not overpowering, but I tasted it in the backgroud of every bite. Sweet, hot, crispy, this is an awesome dish, loved it, every last bite and the buttermilk biscuit crisp outside soft inside with jam that did the buscuit justice. When our check came in the pink leatherish folder, it showed a cohesiveness in the decor and even pink flowers on the table that made the meal very special. My wife absolutely loves this place and all Nick and Alison's restaurants. Of course, we will be back.

Adorable dining establishment on the square in Flowery Branch, excellent service and amazing food made this day's brunch first time experience definitely worthwhile! There are a couple tables outside and the interior is very feminine, cozy and quite comfortable. Restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. We were greeted warmly by host and our server, Bailey, definitely took it to the next level. The coffee & cappuccino were great (unfortunately no apple juice ). We ordered the bourbon chicken & waffle and the TK with avocado (both highly recommended by Bailey) and the strawberry cupcakes to go. The food arrived quickly, was fresh and absolutely scrumptious! Super happy we opted at ordering to take the cupcakes to go as no room to add after the delectable breakfast. We did not have brunch drinks but will definitely be returning soon and look forward to trying some beverages with our meal!

Felt like I was in the Barbie Zone with the decor, it was cute. I would go back and recommend.

This place is a little gem! I'm obsessed with avocado toast and this place has on with goat cheese on it that's delicious. Our server was so sweet and their brunch cocktails were yummy. It's so cute in here and the energy made you feel like you could stay all day. Highly recommended!

Super cute spot inside! All the employees were super sweet + kind. Coffee was very good + the food was insane! This was my first time here with a friend + we will definitely be back!

This place was super cute and the food was amazing! The waitress was very sweet and pleasant. Definitely the best Easter Brunch I have had in a while!

Good vibe. Food good, excellent service. Love this place. Nothing else to say, but need 85 characters....

Great food and pleasant service. Eat there every time I'm on the island. Food cooked to order.

The food was just delicious! After a while found a place where they understand flavor balance. They didn't have a hot chocolate but it didn't matter as all the service + the food were amazing. During our experience quite a few moms with kids were dining there as well which slightly disrupted the peaceful ambiance of the place. However, won't stop me from coming back

We just finished breakfast. The Avocado Toast was amazing! I have never had scrambled eggs prepared so perfectly! The potatoes are incredible. Portion sizes are huge and the entire restaurant has a sweet Hallmark vibe! The service by Callie was amazing. So glad we stopped here on our way home!

We went for brunch on Sunday. There was a forty minute wait. It was definitely worth the wait! The food was delicious and the drinks were awesome. We loved the decor in pink! It was very loud so difficult to carry on a conversation. We will definitely add it to our list for returns!!

Great experience, it was a quiet morning so we were seated right away. The food was tasty and elevated, avocado toast and chicken waffle. With coffee and a cappuccino. Good music playing through the building and inoperable wait staff. The food came out quickly and we look forward to coming back to try more menu items.

Love it amazing place to start the day Food is fresh and delicious cocktails for breakfast nothing better

Wow! This is the most adorable place on Main Street with to die for food! The service was fast and the food was fresh with generous portions. Can't wait to come back! The entire menu looks delish!

The food was so good here. We went during the week around 9 am and it was fairly full but we were seated immediately. It does get a bit loud in there when tables are full, but the service was wonderful. Best scrambled eggs with potatoes and toast I've ever had.

Food was ok but not great for the price. Felt like I was served something I could have easily prepared myself at home. Was expecting more due to all of the local postings and hype.

This is my favorite brunch spot! Great menu choices, delicious food, beautiful decor. The fried potatoes are crispy and perfectly seasoned. Love everything I've tried! I will keep coming back!

Great homemade American fare! The chicken and waffles, and the banana bread are my favorite! Beautiful restaurant.

Have been twice now, both times on the weekend. Had a bit of sticker shock at some of the items, with the biscuit appetizer being $6 for one biscuit. I have to say, it will forever stick out in my mind as being one of the most over priced menu items I've ever seen at a restaurant. Many other reviews mentioned this after I read further. For the size of these biscuits, there should be at least 3 in an order. First time around, everything tasted great and service was prompt. Second time around, which lead me to this review, we felt our service and food were sub par for these reasons: * our server didn't seem know to have much knowledge of the menu items and seemed a tad bit frustrated with our questions * "iced lattes" are far from being iced lattes, served with cold foam and syrup/flavor on the side for you to pour in * plain coffee was burnt (asked for this in replacement of latte) * main portions were noticeably smaller and for almost $20 for a sandwich, consistency is crucial * sauces are home made which is great, but whoever made the zesty ranch this day really got it wrong. It was inedible and I don't say that lightly * fries were under cooked and soggy As far as the ambiance goes, it's been crowded and loud both times but in a small, new spot this is to be expected. These guys are relatively new, so I'm sure as they accumulate time, experience, and feedback things will improve. As of now, it just isn't worth the money.

Caroline's is a very cozy place! Food is fantastic! Mainly Breakfast and lunch as well as Brunch and great sandwiches! Check it out soon Service was wonderful!

Took 15 for our server to come plus some other service issues and the food was alright it's a good experience as in the building but not in the food and service
