“ Super cute 100 year old home on the historic registry. Everything is wither original or restored to look that way. Indoor and outdoor seating available. I loved all the antique furniture and the little gifts placed thoughtfully throughout the home for purchase. The chicken Salad croissant and breakfast croissant were really tasty!! Our server was very nice and attentive as well. We'll definitely be back. ”
“ Every meal I have had here has been spectacular. Today I had the 1/2 BLT and Tomato basil soup. Delicious! They also have burgers one day of the week and they're one of the best I've ever had. Go give them a try. ”
“ It was our first time dining at Lora Mae's in Ballground. We were impressed that there is plenty of parking at the "old house" Cafe. That's a plus in Ballground. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Our server went out of her way to get everything just right for us. Everything was very clean and the food was presented in an appealing way. The decor is nice with the original artwork that is for sale. We ordered the half-combo which is a sandwich, salad and cookie or chips. There was more on the menu like soups, specials and other lunch favorites. The selections change often which is my understanding. ”
“ We went with a group of 4. The wait time was very reasonable, and gave us time to look around at the various food and decorative items for sale. We had fresh squeezed lemonade, a meatloaf sandwich, tomato basil soup, pasta salad, and the chicken salad sandwich. Everything was delicious, even the homemade desserts. If you’re looking for a place for lunch that’s delicious and off-the-beaten-path, Lora Mae’s does not disappoint!! ”
“ This is one of our favorite spots to grab lunch. The sandwiches are always well crafted and delicious. The grilled pimento cheese with green pepper jelly is my fave! It's a neat setup in a historic home with a friendly and calm vibe - highly recommend! ”
“ Cozy concept of art, local goods, and cafe food. AMAZING pimento cheese sandwich with the most beautiful touch of green pepper jelly. Lots of menu options and reasonable prices for made to order food. I had the lunch combo for 16. Outside seating and indoor decor adds to the relaxing vibes. Which you will need because there was a 40 minute wait for food for people during Sunday lunch. No complaints from me, the atmosphere of Lora Mae's made me want to stay and have a glass of wine. Friendly waiter Tiny bathroom with small sink Pass on the side salads Lots of seating options for 2 people ”
“ We traveled from Oklahoma to Georgia and visited Gibbs Gardens, which was incredible! Afterwards we came across Lora Mae’s in Ball Ground. It was such a clean, peaceful and relaxing place! It was 1:30, so past the lunch crowd. I had the BLTavocado; my husband had the grilled chicken and pimento sandwich (homemade pimento cheese and pepper jelly) ; and we shared an order of red potato salad. Everything was fresh, homemade and delicious! Prices were very reasonable. If you’re in the area, try it! You won’t be disappointed! ”
“ UPDATED REVIEW: We stopped in for lunch, and we're glad we did. Lora Mae's has a new owner, and he is a chef! What an improvement! The food was really good, the presentation was great. No more paper plates and bowls! We split a Honey Buzzed Salmon plate on salad instead of grits. It was very good! If you haven't been here in a while, come back and try it again. We definitely will be back more. They just opened, and their hours are 11 am to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. It’s a really interesting place, shop and dine the sign says, so we stopped in. Along with food, they have some really nice spices, oils & vinegars, coffees, sauces, and other items. Many of the items are unique. It is located in a beautiful restored home, just one block off main across from the library. Make sure to check out the chandelier made with keys! They also have a room perfect for hosting groups or small events. ”
