Finleys Cafe - Lavonia (GA)

4 /5 Madi Vail: The burger was great, the fries were absolutely amazing. We also got a chili slaw hot dog, it wasn’t that great, I seemed like the chili the hot dog and the bun were all the same texture. The bun seemed alittle stale. But overall not bad, cute little place.

5 /5 Crys Carter: The cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries are fantastic. Burger was cooked perfectly, everything was made to order. Service was fast and friendly. Soda’s are cold cans plus ice- which I love. The portions are huge (see photos) we couldn’t finish everything. This is a nice, family friendly little place. Plenty of free parking. Traffic is close by, so it can get a little loud, but it didn’t take away from our experience. If you are looking for a place with a very casual (come as you are) atmosphere, with reasonable prices and great food- our party was 100% satisfied!! Can drink + ice= $1.50 Bacon cheeseburger w/fries= $9.99 So good!

5 /5 Nikki V: Amazing food and friendly staff! This will definitely be a new place to frequent for us! The burgers are huge and well seasoned! The fries were crispy and the cheese fries had plenty of cheese! Outside dining and was still very cool with fans to keep us cool! Love love love this spot!

4 /5 Larry Ballard: Sorry no pictures , I forgot my phone at home. I will update with photos next time I visit . I kept it basic , with a chili dog fries and a Diet Coke . The price was fair and the service was next to immediate, and friendly . The fries were a couple of degrees below lukewarm, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they are frozen Checker’s fries from Dollar General . May have been better if they were hot , but as it is they were uninspiring . Next time I’ll try them with some chili and cheese . The Diet Coke was in a can , and about the same temperature as the fries . They did give me a cup of ice though . This sounds less than stellar I know , but let us consider the chili dog . The chili dog was hot and the bun soft and fresh , sounds basic I know , but I can’t tell you how often I’m served stale or soggy buns at other establishments . The wiener is a red link , and with a nice crisp snap , not mushy . The chili is tasty , and plentiful enough to be satisfying yet not so much as to be messy . It has a great consistency that keeps it on the hot dog , not on the plate , all over your fingers or the front of your shirt . The chili dog alone is enough to bring me back. You may think it seems like a simple thing , making a good chili dog . I assure you that it is not . There are far more bad chili dogs being served than good ones in eateries across the area … this is one of the good ones . Dining is outdoors under a metal carport type shelter , and a busy road runs right past it providing ample opportunity to people watch . Just the right atmosphere to gobble down a good chili dog Next time I’ll try the burger , and update with pictures . Worth a visit . EDIT: Went back today 9/11/2025 and ordered a chili-cheese burger , chili dog and fries . I’m still not particularly enamored of fries , although they were hot and fresh , just not my jam . However , if you like a huge , tasty , homemade style burger this is the spot for you . Served piping hot and really meaty , this is a serious contender for the best burger in the area . For me though the star of the show is still the chili dog , not fancy , not pretentious , just delicious - as a chili dog should be . Check it out , y’all .

5 /5 Vicky W: Stopped by to pick up on our way passing through as an alternative to fast food in the area. So glad we did! The place was decorated for Halloween and the food was amazing! The burger was juicy and had a generous helping of meat with fresh ingredients, and the loaded tots were addictive! Will def be back next time we are driving through!
