      If you are looking for great seafood in the Georgia mountains, look no further than the Back Porch Oyster Bar. Run by two former residents of the North Carolina barrier islands who wanted fresh seafood but couldn't find it locally, you will chow down on everything from fresh fried oysters to a delicious seafood stew. Housed in a quaint, two story location more like a restaurant you would find at the beach rather than a small town in Georgia, the atmosphere and the friendly demeanor of both the owners and the servers helps make your meal even more appetizing.

      If you go:
      Open every day. Located in Dahlonega's historic downtown, walking tour. In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. Wineries and gold rush artifacts near by.
