Viele Margaritas - Helen

It is in an excellent location as it oversees the river but everything else was ok. First...They are completely understaffed. We came at 1:30pm on a Thursday, and it took us 30 minutes to get through the line to order. They had one person taking the food order, and the same person taking the drink orders in the separate window. The owner Needs to put some of his profits into hiring someone else during peak hours. Second...it is silly you can't get a cup of water for your kid(s), but you have to buy bottled water instead. Also, I think a$ 3 up charge for fries is too much in my opinion. Food is what it is burgers fries dogs. I come here yearly, but will not be coming back next time.

Worst part of my week in Helen. I should preface this by stating that I was with my family and that's what we were looking for. If you're looking for beer:30 and bikers, ignore the rest of this review. The food was horrible. Bacon burger was clearly pre-cooked, bacon was thin and right out of a Sysco box. Reuben was DISGUSTING. My young twins shared a chicken fingers meal and the bite I had was really good. Sodas were in cans and were $2 each! For that little slice o' heaven meal I had the privilege of thumping down nearly $40. Smokers are everywhere. Nice view of the river, however. After sitting down and getting to the business of choking down the food, two locals in the early 30s sat next to us, beers in hand, smoking cigarettes, and sporting crappy homemade jailhouse ink then proceeded to drop every F-bomb variation you can think of at the passing tubers. I'm no shrinking violet having been in the Navy, but my kids were clearly right next to me and it was obnoxious. I went to ask them to knock it off but the cook (who was on a smoke break himself) beat me to it. These gents were clearly known quantities. Overall, if you want a lil' mini-Sturgis, this might be the spot for you. If you are looking for a meal, take a pass. If you have kids or appreciate a non-smoking section, take a pass.

Great place to sit down and watch a football game, have some beer, and eat some bar-food. I was hoping for something with a more Helen and old-world-german ' feel, but the fact that you could sit outside and enjoy the weather made it a great experience. Those idiots that worked the door kinda sucked, although I 'm sure they were just 'doing their job '. we were at the bar all day (giving them PLENTY of money) and decided we wanted a funnel-cake. We went out, grabbed one, and they wouldn 't let us bring them inside. So we started eating them outside and they whined that we were too close to the building. Seriously? 4 stars if they made it a little less like a standard bar, didn 't charge a cover to get in and were 'cooler ' to their patrons.

Went here with my mother, father and wife one weekend. I am in my late twenties and my parents are in their 50's/60's. If you want to come here with your kids, dont. If you want to come to a BAR and listen to loud music while enjoying the weather, come on. They have refillable cups Buy a 32 ounce cup of beer for $13, and refills are $7. This is the perfect place for a hot dog, bag of chips and COLD BEER. Ignore the cranky housewives and their reviews. This is a bar after all......

Great place. This is a relaxed cool place. I had a cheeseburger and onion rings. My Uncle got a beer. In a large mug, refills were 5.00, great price. You can watch the people tubing or any sporting event you can think of. Great place.
