Before I get started on this post, I realize how silly this topic might sound! Speed dining while showing homes on
Lake Lanier? So let me explain!
I've been on a home showing tour-de-force these last couple of days. Often showing 15 or more homes in a day. We've started at 8:30 A.M. in the morning and usually finished up around 6 P.M. in the evenings. And when you have to find a home, and you're on a tight time frame to do it, there isn't time to dilly dally around with sitting down for a one hour lunch at a crowded restaurant. I like showing homes, and many clients have to make a decision quickly and value their time to get the job done. It's all good with me! And the more homes I can show on Lake Lanier in a day, the more knowledgable I become about home values, price range characteristics, and hot deals! Most importantly it's a lot of fun, and the scenery is fantastic!
So, that brings us to the point of one of my favorite topics: Dining! I love a great dinner in a wonderful setting as much as anyone. However, now and then, you just have to make it fast and make it good. So here are a couple of places that I stumbled upon this past week.
First and fastest?
RaceTrac! Really? Yes, really! It's like the Las Vegas casino buffet of convenience, fast food (hot or cold), clean, and friendly. Our visit to one of their newest stores in Gainesville was excellent. It's located at the corner of McEver Road and
Browns Bridge Road. There's also a brand new one in Dawsonville on Hwy. 400. A chicken chipotle wrap for lunch, too many drink selections to count, desserts of all types, a walk-in beverage cooler, seating areas for dining in the store and so much more! Fast, pleasant service, gas pumps galore, clean restrooms. I was astounded by the variety, efficiency, and design of this Taj Mahal of convenience stores. A silly, quick stop, but with variety and customer service that I applaud! And check out their
Mission Statement / Core Values!
The second hot stop that I would like to recognize is in Cumming on Browns Bridge Road. A local favorite, truly a huge fave among the area residents.
That Biscuit Place! I have to admit that I have driven past this eatery many times and witnessed its popularity. But I have never stopped in until this past Saturday. For breakfast or lunch, this local joint packs them in. Think full parking lot with overflow customers parking in the grassy areas surrounding the restaurant. Fast? You bet! They have a drive through, and we used it to feed three hungry Lake Lanier real estate shoppers with ease. We hit up this winner on Saturday morning. Two bacon egg and cheese biscuits and one chicken biscuit. All huge! All fresh! All local! Here's a look at their
menu! I'll be back to That Biscuit Place for sure! Click the link below for their Facebook Page.
So, that's pretty much it for a silly post about serious food, convenience and speed dining on Lake Lanier! Just a couple of notable experiences from this past weekend's home shopping trips on Lake Lanier!
