The Station House Restaurant opened their first location in Cumming, GA in 2009, and recently expanded their offerings into Dawsonville, GA with a location adjacent to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame. No strangers to the restaurant business, owners and operators Donnie and Marla Nix, have over four decades of family history in the restaurant business. The family recipes have been passed down for many years, and are all made from scratch daily. One of Marla’s fondest memories is family gatherings around a large table for birthdays, holidays, and family reunions. That is their hopes for patrons, to share these meals to keep families and friends together around the table, not just sharing a meal, but creating a lasting memory.
