"Very special place My wife and I always wanted to visit Callaway Gardens for Christmas, we finally did. We used trip advisor to look for a nice restaurant and decided to try Carriage and Horses. We had one of the best dining experiences ever. The owner, Dahger, has a very loyal following and typically does large parties for events. On other nights, like the Monday we ate there, he limits the number of folks dining by accepting reservations only. Do not be fooled if there are very few cars there. He does this on purpose to give you top notch food and service. He suggested the house special, a pork shank cooked for 5 hours. My wife ordered it. First came a house salad with the suggested sesame ginger homemade dressing. So fresh and light. The meat of the shank was seasoned perfectly, fall off the bone fork tender. It was accompanied by fresh made mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots. I ordered the filet. It was cooked perfectly with a slight crust on the outside and buttery meat inside. Same accompaniments. It was just incredible This shank was $30. The filet was $35. That is not a misprint. We each had a glass of wine and Dahger gave us a chocolate mousse dessert in the house. He took out photos, stopped by regularly to make sure everything was great. If you eat one nice meal in the Pine Mountain area, make sure this is it."
