Muller's Famous Fried Cheese Cafe
Home of the Fried Cheese Steak
The short answer
A quick correction for anyone who searched for Muller's fried chicken: this is Muller's Famous Fried Cheese Cafe, and the fame is all about the cheese. It's the one place in Helen where the signature dish is a breaded, fried block of mozzarella or brie stuffed with ham.
The cafe sits at 60 Chattahoochee Strasse, two minutes off Main Street, and per the Helen visitors bureau it serves authentic German and Central European food from 9 AM, seven days a week. The menu below is what the listing names.

| Dish | What it is |
|---|---|
| Fried Cheese Steak | Mozzarella or brie stuffed with ham, breaded and fried; the cafe's namesake |

Why fried cheese?
Breaded, fried cheese is a staple of pub cooking across Central Europe, and Muller's builds a meal around it. Expect the Fried Cheese Steak to be rich and filling, so plan to share it or make it the whole meal.
The goulash comes with Czech bread dough dumplings, a nod to the same region. If you'd rather stay on familiar German ground, the Jaeger Schnitzel with mushroom gravy and the grilled bratwurst with sauerkraut are on the menu too.

Hours and getting there
Muller's is open every day, starting at 9 AM, and closes in the early evening. Because the closing time varies, call 706-892-1212 before you plan around dinner. Chattahoochee Strasse is a short walk from the center of town. The parking guide shows where to leave the car.
Tips
Come hungry
The fried cheese is the star. Share one if you want room for goulash.
Plan your day
Muller's opens at 9, so it works for a late breakfast or early lunch. Hofer's, which serves breakfast until 11 or 11:30, is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Ask about dietary needs
The visitors bureau listing doesn't mention gluten-free or vegetarian dishes. Call 706-892-1212 to ask what the kitchen can do.
How to build a meal
The visitors bureau listing names enough dishes to plan around. Muller's calls itself authentic German and Central European, and the menu reads that way: a fried cheese starter or main, a goulash with dumplings, schnitzel in a few forms, and grilled sausage.
Sharing the cheese
The Fried Cheese Steak is breaded and fried, with mozzarella or brie stuffed with ham. Split one and add a soup or the roasted potatoes.
Soup and a side
The listing mentions fresh, meat-rich soups, plus homemade roasted potatoes and potato salad.
Goulash with dumplings
The Original Hungarian Goulash comes with Czech bread dough dumplings.
Schnitzel
Hand-breaded pork or chicken is grilled as a schnitzel steak. Wiener and Jaeger schnitzel are also listed, the Jaeger with mushroom gravy.
Finding it and parking
Muller's is at 60 Chattahoochee Strasse, a short walk from Main Street. Helen has no parking meters or garages: the city runs free lots east of Main Street and one pay lot on Edelweiss Strasse, and private lots post their rate at the entrance. The parking guide maps them.
One rule to know before you leave: since December 2025 there is no left turn from Chattahoochee Street onto North Main between 9 AM and 10 PM daily. If you park near Muller's and want to head north, plan a right turn or a different route out.
When to go
The cafe opens at 9 AM every day, which makes it one of the few places in town for a late breakfast on Tuesday or Wednesday, when Hofer's is closed. During Oktoberfest (through November 1, 2026), the Festhalle opens at 6 PM weekdays and 1 PM on Saturday and Sunday, so an early lunch or early dinner at Muller's leaves the evening free. The Oktoberfest guide has admission, and the German food guide compares the other German kitchens in town.
