Dining

The dining game in Lake Oconee is strong. Whether you don’t cook at all or you’re looking for the perfect spot for occasional date nights, it won’t take long to find your go-to restaurants and food trucks in the area.
 
Carey Station Provisions lands on the top of our list based on our own experiences and the recommendations of our local clients and friends. Offering the most coveted gyro in the area – which you can enjoy in their outdoor dining area – Carey Station Provisions comes highly recommended by locals.
 
5B’s Barbeque and Brews offers a menu you won’t find just anywhere: boiled peanuts, Brunswick Stew, and a fully loaded baked potato that serves as a main dish, to name a few. Need to feed the whole family? They also offer a family platter that includes all of their smoked meats & three sides so you can take the night off.
 
Another local favorite is Filet Steaks and Seafood. With both vegetarian and gluten-free options, Filet is an inclusive choice for groups with diverse dietary needs. Some of our favorites are the ahi tuna and crispy calamari on the app menu and bruschetta chicken and seafood crepes on the dinner menu.
