Longhorns Steak House - Buford, Georgia

This is a nice area outside Atlanta with the big Mall of Georgia as its attraction.
There are quite a few good restaurants here also. We had a great lunch at Longhorns which is right on the outside property of the mall.

Lake Lanier and Buford Dam
amyferguson profile photo
amyferguson 34 reviews

Lake Sidney Lanier is a man-made lake encompassing 38,000 surface acres. Underneath lies the remains
of cities...roads, buildings, etc...
The movie Deliverance was based on this area, but
don't worry, any hillbillies that were here have been pushed out by all the suburbanites.
Drive across the dam early in the morning.
With a misty fog and a colorful sunrise its
quite beautiful. There are also several trails.

Located in the Mall of Georgia, one of the better places to choose for eating in the area----a striking entrance with it's 2 huge horses, it features a good meal for the dollar with some fresh ingredients and spices. Family friendly as well-----

Favorite Dish: steamed dumplings

Inside the mall at the entrance, a nice fountain

This is the VIP of all shopping malls that I've visited. Plenty of stores and merchandise to choose from. Armani, JCPenney, Dillards, Nordstrom, Ann Taylor, Barnes & Noble, J Crew, Pottery Barn, Macy's, to name a few. Lovely complex, very modern*Low sales tax on goods*

What to buy: Clothing, jewelry, linens, luggage, silverware, dishes, furnishings, Home accemts everything at this mall. You name it, they have it*

What to pay: Snag a few sales and find bargains in each store, yet most average pricing on merchandies but the sales tax is very low here* which makes for bargain shopping..we did all our Holiday shopping here and saved a bundle!
