Linde Marie's Steakhouse on the Square

This is a quiet,quaint little restaurant in Cave Springs, Ga. You need a reservation if going later in the afternoon or evening but we went around 3pm. It was busy but we didn't have to wait but a few minutes for a table. We shared a ribeye and had a salad each, for our 2 sides. Our server was very attentive to our needs, even before we asked.

Went with a group of men from my church. There were seven of us so we did have to wait a hour to be seated, but there was plenty to do within walking distance of the Steakhouse. I would definitely recommend if you were on a date. Antique shops, candy shop and icecream shop are all right there to enjoy. Enjoyed the ribeye.

Loved everything about it from the hostess through the final bite. We started with the shrimp and grits cakes which we shared with our table and wished we had been more selfish. Wife and I both had ribeye...rare plus which was a perfect medium rare and wonderful flavor. She had the roasted veggies which were great, and though I know this sounds strange... I had the best loaded bake potato I have ever eaten. Our server, Mary, was great as well with spot on recommendations and excellent service. The wait of just under 30 minutes was not bad either for our group of 6 on a late Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to the next trip to Cave Springs!

we were passing by this town and were very hungry. We were very lucky to find this place, everything was very tasty here, great service and the food was very fresh. the steak was cooked just right, the vegetables and salad were fresh and tasty, the pasta with alfredo was delicious. I would give this place 10 stars! And I marked this place on the map where I would definitely return. We spent only $100 for 5 people (only food without drinks)

This was not my first visit to the steakhouse, and it certainly won’t be my last. As always, the food was absolutely amazing. The only small disappointment was related to the Christmas parade. We were stuck across the street due to road closures, so I called ahead to ask if I could put my name on the waitlist while we waited for the parade to pass. Unfortunately, I was told that wasn’t permitted. At the time, we were quoted about a two-hour wait. Luckily, when we finally made it over, there were only a couple of people seated at the bar, so we were able to sit there instead—and thankfully still enjoy an excellent meal. I truly love this place and will continue to come back. I just wish they would consider allowing waitlist sign-ups or reservations in situations like this, especially during busy community events. Overall, still a great experience and fantastic food.

Cozy rustic quaint place with AMAZING food. Wonderful service. I had the stuffed artichoke and spinach chicken. It was decadent. And my youngest actually said their chicken tenders are better than fast food.

Had a horrible dining experience. Food was cooked wrong. Waitress & manager tried to make me accept food i no longer needed or wanted., even though it was their mistake. The greeter was friendly, though. She was the best part of the whole place.

The bar had a peculiarly relaxing atmosphere that was just right before dinner and the grilled shrimp is delicious and seasoned perfectly. The ribeye steak is up there with the best i've ever had and they aren't lazy with their fries. The service and attentiveness from our waitress was impressive. FINE steakhouse.

We drove six hours for this dinner--and it was absolutely worth every mile. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with that warm, small-town charm that's so rare to find anymore. The historic vibe of the building adds something truly special. (If you're curious, this restaurant is located in a structure with roots dating back to the early 1800's--look up the history; it's fascinating to see how it's been preserved and transformed.) The dining room was buzzing with conversation, laughter, and a genuine sense of community. Black-and-white tile floors, exposed brick walls, vintage decor, and soft lighting make the ambiance cozy and nostalgic--like stepping into a different era. Dinner? Fantastic. Service? Even better. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Everything from the drinks to dessert hit the mark. This is more than a meal--it's an experience. A place that reminds you of the good old days, where time slows down and the food--and people--bring you joy.

3rd taking the 40 minute ride to Cave Spring. This time just to eat here. Very reasonable prices, cute rustic charm. Good service. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. Then the 16 ounce prime rib and a 12 ounce ribeye. We are steak snobs and these past the test with flying colors. Will definitely go back.

Really really good little steakhouse. I like the 12oz. ribeye but everything is great. It's always cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes, grits, broccoli and asparagus are all solid side choices. The baked potatoes are fantastic as well. It's a small dining room that's warm and comfortable. The servers are great too. I would recommend going for lunch or an early dinner or late dinner. Expect a good wait if you show up from 6-7:30. But you can put your name in and go next door to the shops and look around until they call you on your phone when your table is ready. Definitely give it a shot.

Thanks for ruining my wedding night. I have been wanting to try this place for over a year since I moved to Rome. Waited an hour and a half to be seated. Had ordered food and was waiting. My young son was crying, which is reasonable after waiting that long to even be seated. A young male worker came to the table and asked me to step outside until my child finished crying. I asked if they discriminated against families and he said, "This is a steakhouse and not a daycare, people pay good money to eat here." Which is funny bc I was also paying good money to eat there and had waited just as long as everyone else. It literally left me in the restaurant in front of everyone crying. It's hard enough having a young child and I am doing my best. All I wanted was to have a nice dinner with my family on my wedding day. Even the family next to us felt awful and said the staff was rude. If this restaurant isn't family friendly they should let patrons know ahead of time so we wouldn't wait 1.5 hours and could go elsewhere.

Been a while since I been but will never forget the steak I had here. Mm little day trip pretty country nice town

We had heard such great things about this steakhouse. It did not disappoint. We both got filets husband had his cooked medium, and I had mine done mid-rare. Both steaks were juicy, cooked perfectly to temp, and full of flavor. Decor was lovely, brick walls and plenty of booth seating. Art on walls is from local antique dealer and available for purchase. Our server was helpful and she was understanding when I specified to be sure I received the mid rare steak. Most steakhouses assume the man gets this temp-and we usually have to flip our plates. Cheesecake for dessert was very nice. Overall great experience. Price was not ridiculous either!

My wife's ribeye and my filet was tender and delicious.Service was great at a goof price.Really nice old building in a pretty little town.Very nice ride from Alabama.Stay tuned to my next revue.

Came for a birthday gathering, party arrived in two groups. First group was seated. Second group was not despite tons of open seats. We were told the kitchen was too busy. Then the hostess yelled at the waitress to hurry up. Then they told us to wait 45 minutes. Then they were seating new walk ins off the street. When it was trying to be sorted out the manager started interrupting everyone. Would not recommend.

Had the worst experience ever! Was at Linde Marie's Steakhouse in Cave Springs, GA. What a disgrace. Some of us were seated and My daughters and families were waiting to be seated. The staff seated people that came in after them. My daughters had requested separate tables. The staff refused to seat them. The staff stated their kitchen couldn't handle the load. But they kept seating other families. When we approached the manager and questioned his logic he got defensive and started a confrontation.

We always heard great things about Linde Marie's and couldn't wait to try it. I would say it is really good, just quite not up to the hype. We arrived at 12:00 which is opening time and they had already pre seated other people. We were told to wait 10-15 minutes. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes and almost left. Once we were seated they were only utilizing half the seating. It's a small space to begin with. I wonder if they were having staffing issues that day. The food was good and the steak was cooked perfectly. This is the kind of place that is really good, but not one of those places you would drive an hour for.

Best restaurant steak I've ever had! 10/10 would recommend! If it's a weekend please be patient with the staff, expect a long wait as their steaks are very popular! At the end of the day they are a small family owned business and can only accommodate so many people and they do try to sit as quick as they can!

Just a by chance came across this steakhouse and WOW so glad we gave it a try. It was a bit of a wait (45 min) but so worth it. I had the filet and my husband had the prime rib. Both were cooked to perfection (medium) and had amazing pepper flavor. For the side I tried the cheese grits! They were so good I plan to try the shrimp and grits next time. We live in Chattanooga but will travel back just to eat here!

Have been here many times with my wife and family. There has never been a bad meal served or service from a bad waiter or waitress. The steaks are cooked very well and have a very perfect taste. Thanks for many full flavored meals.

This is our 4th time coming to Linde Marie's and it is consistently good! Yes, there's a wait, but that is always a good sign and usually you do not have to wait long. We only ever order the rib eye and it's worth it. This is my hometown and I would have never thought I would be coming back for steak. The staff is very attentive and efficient. It's fine dining with a small town feel. Worth the trip!

They're closed the week of the Fourth of July and the week after. Seating is first come first served, and it's a popular spot so prepare for an hour or hour and a half wait for dinner. The service was great and the food was even better. I highly recommend the cheese grits. Their dessert wasn't on a menu, but they had chocolate cake, strawberry cake, caramel Chauncey cake and cheesecake.

Excellent meal. Service was great. Ambiance very warm and inviting. Jdudjdjdgggsoooxvggww so nb

Fancy food for when ya don't wanna get to fancy. I'll be going back often! Steak was amazing.

My wife was really looking forward to checking out this place based on the word of mouth she had heard from several people. After a day of exploring in the area we were more than hungry and ready to check out what all the hype was about. Mistake one, totally our fault, they were packed out and it was quite a wait to get in (no deduct to them for that, they got us in as quickly as possible). There were a few places that stayed open late since Linde Marie was so busy, so we shopped until it was about time for our seat to be ready. Menu is nice and has typical steak house stuff available. Obviously we had to try the steak and I can't express enough how disappointed I was that yet another steak house was incapable of serving a steak how I asked for it to be served. Service was not great and it took forever to get my food sent back so that it could get cooked properly. Just kind of put a damper on the whole experience. Prices are a little on the high side, but if you can back it up with quality service and food/food prep then I don't mind it so much. Not when they aren't able to cook a steak to order though. My overall impression, obviously is not good. It looks like several others have enjoyed the experience and maybe we just caught them on an off night. I probably won't be in a rush to come back and find out though.

I really wish we had been able to try this. We wanted an early Valentines date night and chose this as a special Location. We got there at 5:10 and put our name in. The wait time was already an hour and twenty minutes. So we decided to wait. After an hour and a half we checked our place in line and were told another 20 minutes. After another 30 minutes we checked again. So after 2 hours and 15 minutes we left. 10 minutes later they finally called to tell us our table was ready. I told the guy hosting we had just left because we had waited over an hour past the time we had been told. Without an I'm sorry or offering us reservations for another day, he just hung up on me in mid sentence. I'm guessing from the crowd the food would have been good but the customer service was the pitts.

Ok this was definitely not the experience we have had in the past. Even though we have had road blocks by the host in the past couple of years we have been there, we really wanted to take our son to get a good steak for his birthday this weekend. As I had expected road block hostess had attitude. We knew they did not seat large parties and so we explained to the hostess we could be broken up into smaller tables and that would not be a problem. Well for some reason the management could not conceptualize this idea. Yall it was crazy, it was almost like our family and friends were being punished for having 16 people that wanted to eat there. They had half the dining room empty, made our daughters and grandchildren wait at the door, and seated people of 6 and 4 tops after ours had been waiting. We were told by the manager that orders had to be placed 30 minutes apart before others could be seated. Then it got even worse from the rest of the staff. The most unprofessional staff I have ever ever seen in my life. Yes they have good steaks but they are not the only ones. Until management is held accountable for their unprofessionalism, we will enjoy steaks somewhere else. And what is even crazier, 8 of the 16 had already placed orders which were cooking and at the end of the night, the management caused Linde Marie to lose a lot of money by not not serving 16 people that just wanted to have a family birthday. I am having a hard time even giving the management a one rating right now. Our waitress that we had temporarily was excellent and embarrassed because of the managements treatment of us,l. The manager even brought out the cook and the bartender to put pressure on us to leave and even stood between my husband and the waitress while he was trying to tip her for what she already done for us. Then the bartender kept mouthing to us things like don't come back, good riddence and unwanted gestures while we were leaving. Y'all it was crazy!!

Best Prime Rib!!! OMG. The service and food was perfect. The only issue is that we had to wait about 45 minutes without a reservation. And there were tons (many) open tables. Tables were open when we arrived, while we ate and after. If they can't serve the floor then should reconfigure so it is not so obvious. But highly recommend!!! Also had a 100 food service rating ...

My son and I made a trip from Oxford, AL to eat here. I ordered the smothered chicken and he ordered the pecan chicken. I can't say enough about how good the food was. It was well worth the drive and I intend on traveling there to eat again. Very good service and food!!

Drove here from Birmingham Al., because I heard the steaks were amazing. Marie's didn't let me down. I had the ribeye and it was perfect.

We really enjoyed our date night meal! The service was great, the food was very great! We came a bit late and weren't punished. Good experience and will be back.

(Our visit was pre-Covid) Such a quaint little place! Given the long wait, my husband and I were able to walk around the town. We received a text when our table was ready. The absolute best steak I've eaten from a restaurant! Delicious! Great service! Will certainly revisit!

Nothing more to say other than Amazing. The service was good and food was cooked to perfection. Probably one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life. Try it out you will not be disappointed. P.s...grit cakes appetizer...."you're welcome".

Tasty food and pleasant staff and ambience. A little pricey, but not by too much. Good steaks.

Awesome food and exceptional service. My wife has a number of allergies as well as celiac. They were able to accommodate her and ensured there was no cross contamination. We're always hesitant to try "unknown" places and have walked out of restaurants we weren't sure were taking her seriously. They were awesome, and no issues afterwards! Steaks were perfectly cooked, sides were great. Would recommend even if it wasn't one of the only options in town.

Food is good, but if you dont accept reservations, you should update your google page to indicate that. Very misleading. Other than that, no problems

Tonight was our first time there and can I say that HONESTLY this was the BEST steak I have EVER put in my mouth ! I felt it was reasonably priced due to the quality and size of The steak , plus you got a side and salad ! I CANNOT wait to come again ! Worth the drive !

There just isn't anywhere better, I don't care if you travel 5 miles or 500 miles. The food, the ambiance, the service and the town of Cave Spring right outside! There's not much on their menu that we haven't had and it's never been anything short of exceptional! AND, if you like pie - I will tell you call ahead and make sure when you're headed that way it's a day that they have their made in house coconut cream pie. It is right from heaven! But, be SURE you save room for it... Our favorite place to dine!!! And, it's 114 miles to do it, too!!!

My family had been there for are wedding dinner may 8th 2022 it was very nice and clean.

Living about 30 minutes away, we had made a couple of attempts to eat here, but the wait was always excessive. We finally had the opportunity to arrive early, and we're glad we did. Small town rustic atmosphere, friendly folks, and excellent steaks and sides. The Shrimp & Grits Cake appetizer was very good, and the steaks perfectly cooked and presented. Prompt attentive service with a smile. Would have appreciated some breadsticks or rolls, but it wasn't a big deal. We will be back! Highly recommended!

Employees were very nice, restaurants clean and I was greeted at the door. This "steak house" gets 1 star for the Prime rib. Ordered both dinners medium and they came out grey looking. I always try a tiny bit of the "rind" to see if it is house cooked or packaged Prime rib. This, comes in a package. I'm a chef and this was terrible. Grey on the outside, pink on the inside, no sign of a quick grill or baking. I'm wondering if it was microwaved. Wishing I had ordered a steak.

Yummy!!! This restaurant takes reservations for their limited seating. We were visiting town during lunch and poked our head in the door and made a reservation and looked around downtown while we waited. The service was great and the food was delicious. I had chicken Alfredo penne and my husband had the prime rib sandwich. They also have a wonderful New York cheesecake. Highly recommend!

Wow Again!!! This place always knocks it out of the park with the steaks!!! Party of 7 arriving around five in a Friday evening. Seated promptly. Service excellent. Steaks are really worth the drive. I would put them up against Bones or Hals in ATL.. When we left there was a crowd waiting. So go early and enjoy!!!

Let me preface this with I KNOW good food. We travel often & I have no problem spending money on really good food. This little hidden gem's steaks can compete with high end restaurants in Atlanta for HALF the price. Excellent service. I do wish the wine list had been a bit more diverse. Our server and the kitchen went out of their way to cater to the needs of our autistic nephew & his off menu requests. Beautiful meal.

Everything about this place is awesome! We had party of nine! Didn't really have to wait long! We had the best server! She got everything right! Ribeye steaks, Filet's, Sirloin steaks! Baked potatoes and salad! And the Best Homemade Fries ever! If you haven't been, You are missing out! Very reasonable price!

We've been regulars here for a while, pre corona we'd come in at least once a week, when covid started and the dining room was shut down we were happy to continue supporting this local business ordering take out over the phone but as soon as the dining room opened back up every time we'd call the service has gotten worse and worse. Today I called and was told they no longer take orders over the phone and was hung up on. What restaurant doesn't take phone orders, they were extra happy to take our phone orders when the dining room was closed but now they turn their back on loyal customers, very disappointing. Spoke to a guy on the phone named Matt who claimed to be the manager and he sounded like an arrogant prick and was no help at all, we will not be back.

Best steak in the southeast, TOP 10 in the nation. I have traveled coast to coast, and one of the best steaks I have ever eaten is in our back yard.

Was really looking forward to eating had heard lots of great things. Menu looked great had good options. I chose 16oz ribeye steak it came and had no marbling and looked more like a NY strip. Steak did have good flavor but was consistent in toughness with a strip steak. Needless to say I did not finish my steak.

Found this little gem on our commute from Atlanta to visit family in North Alabama. Places like this are why I avoid the interstates and stick to the backroads! This quaint little steakhouse sits right on the small town square of Cave Spring, GA. The menu states that they age their cuts 21 days and prepare them on a grill - so I had to go with a steak! I chose the bone-in ribeye (daily special - not on the regular menu) cooked medium, with thin & crispy onion rings and the house salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, very juicy with what seemed to be only the simplest of seasonings - let the beef do the talking, not the spices, I like it! Onion rings were as advertised - "thin and crispy". And the house salad, while simple, consisting of only tomato, onion and cucumber on some mixed greens was actually quite good thanks to the homemade dressing. They offer several and I chose thousand island. You just can't beat homemade salad dressings. My wife opted for the Prime Rib Sandwich served with au jus and home style thick cut fries. The restaurant serves prime rib Thursday thru Saturday evenings and this sandwich isn't always available as it is made from that same slab of beef. The bread was your standard hogie roll but other than that, can't knock it - melted cheese, caramelized onions, very tender beef. Give this place a try and ask for Emily's section. She was a fantastic server.

Very romantic styled restaurant and the staff is very friendly. The bread is ah-maz-ing!

I gave into the hype of a place in the middle of nowhere in a quite little town called Cave Spring. As we arrived at the front of the establishment, I saw a gaggle of ppl milling around the door. They were obviously waiting for the dinner bell to ring. All gushing over how great the food was inside. So I fell into the line, as if I were a cow waiting on a feed lot gate to open. Soon it did open into a dingy very small dining room. This is an old building on the main square of the city. Well, all the rave outside on the sidewalk was the steaks, so I knew what I wanted. STEAK!!! The biggest Cowboy ribeye they had, menu stated it was 22 ounces. I waited patiently. I looked at this wet steak maybe 12 ounces, with perfect grill marks (major red flag ). My son was joining us and got the same thing I ordered. Amazingly, same perfect grill marks??? It was very stringy to cut and smelled and tasted as if it was boiled in Dales steak marinade. It appeared as it was cooked earlier and grill marks added afterwards. For 40 dollars plus all the hype I expected so much more. Sadly to say THEY GOT ME, but what can I say?Well I say...save your money both for the meat? And the gas money to drive to the middle of nowhere to eat a steak you could get at Denny's. However, if you must go on down there. It's sorta like those sea monkeys I ordered as a kid and when they came they were Tadpoles!!! Okay you got me. Buyer beware

Wow! What a find. Visiting the in-laws from New York and found this place nearby. Mary, our server, was amazing and attentive. The steaks (rib eyes) were perfectly cooked and delicious! The shrimp were amazing, and the blue cheese butter was to die for. Mary suggested the hummingbird cake for dessert and it was easily one of the best cakes we've ever eaten. What a treat! Bravo Linde Marie's!

Snuggled in an historic building in quaint Cave Springs worth the time to enjoy a great steak, fresh salad, and comfort fare. Well prepared and beautifully presented. Friendly service. I look forward to coming back.

The Ribeye is the best around. Great homemade salad dressings and cakes that make you think of church socials.

All I can say is, "Wow"! My husband is an spectacular cook and we are used to wishing we had eaten at home instead of going out . That was definitely not the case at Linde Marie's. We walked into a cute intimate restaurant and was greeted by a smiling young lady. Our server was friendly and pleasant. The food....the food was perfect. My filet and my husband's prime rib were cooked to perfection . We had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. They were delectable. If there is one thing you must have it is the brussel spouts. They are not listed in the menu but order them!!! All I can say is yummy and we are already planning our next visit.

This place was amazing! From the sweet tea to the prime rib sandwich to the excellent customer service. Every single employee in that building seemed to care if my experience was good, not just my server. I can highly recommend.
