We visited twice in 24 hours. First late night for a dessert and then in the morning for breakfast (we were staying at the hotel above the restaurant). The bread pudding was delicious last night, and the servers were so friendly even with our arriving later in the evening. The breakfast this morning was glorious. We had the fried chicken and lost bread (aka French toast) and breakfast sandwiches made on beignets and Gouda grits. We sat on the balcony, which is totally worth waiting an extra 10 minutes if you're wondering. But the wait time was definitely an overestimate and we got called in 15 minutes sooner than expected. The service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, and even filled my Stanley with iced water to take with me for the day, which was a lovely touch. read more

Bourbon Street Grille - Fried chicken, French toast, grits (loaded and Gouda), breakfast sandwiches, and a beignet. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

Bourbon Street Grille has a unique set up. You can eat on the balcony overlooking Dahlonega Square or head around to the back if you are wheelchair bound or have a stroller. We had our 12 lb bundle of puppy joy with us so to the back deck we went. I think Dakotah was the only server on the main floor, both inside and out because it took a long time. Long time for water. He was busy even though the restaurant wasn't full. Poor guy. My hubby ordered the muffaletta and wasn't impressed. He ate it though. He loved his Abita root beer. I decided to order from the side menu and I'm so happy I did. The andouille sausage was grilled and tasty. The maque choux was amazing. Think Mexican corn with a Louisiana twist. Perfection!! The loaded grits were also wonderful- chocked full of gouda, bacon, and green onions. Delicious! The gumbo was thick like a stew. The flavor was smoky and sublime. My only beef is instead of all gumbo, the cup was filled mostly with rice... topped with gumbo. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. However, due to the pace of things, the underwhelming sandwich and perception of getting shorted on the chicken and gumbo. I wouldn't hesitate to swing by and order a maque choux to go as a snack except they charge $1 for the to-go container. read more

First off, the vibes here are absolutely amazing. I sat outside on the second floor porch and it was such a cute atmosphere with great music playing the whole time. The service was also incredible. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, and even the busser was friendly and held great conversation, which honestly made the experience feel even more welcoming. I ordered the gumbo and it was spectacular. The portion size was perfect, super filling without being too much, and the cornbread that came with it was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the gumbo. I also got the roasted sweet potatoes and if you only order one thing on the menu, let it be those. They were sweet, flavorful, and genuinely some of the best sweet potatoes I have ever had in my life. I'm already thinking about coming back just for them alone. Overall, such a great experience and I will definitely be back! read more

Bourbon Street Grille - Gumbo - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

We stopped by Bourbon Street Grille on the way home from a weekend in Blue Ridge, GA, and it was such a great choice! We sat out on the balcony, which had a beautiful view and such a nice, relaxed vibe -- perfect for winding down after the trip. The food was amazing! I ordered the Dirty Shrimp, which was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and my boyfriend got the Fried Crawfish Po' Boy, which was packed with crispy crawfish and plenty of flavor. We also had a Bloody Mary, and it was delicious. Service was friendly, food came out quickly, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. If you're in the area and craving Cajun food, definitely stop here! read more

Enjoyed an absolutely fantastic dinner here the other night. From high quality food, great service, and a beautiful patio view overlooking the center of town, this restaurant checks all the boxes. I had my mind set on trying three things so I opted to get those instead of an entree. However my husband got an entree and it was a ton of food, enough to take home leftovers. I really enjoyed the crab cake, grits, and the Paul Thomas chocolate beignet for dessert (which was huge by the way, and great to share with someone else). We both enjoyed everything about our dinner and experience here, and I'd absolutely come back here if I visit the area again. read more

My friends and I were in the area visiting a winery nearby. We had only shared a small charcuterie board there and were ready for a real meal afterwards. We were excited to try this place and even more relieved when we were able to get seated right away on a Saturday for late lunch/early dinner. For drinks we got their Rose water gin & tonic, Strawberry margarita, and sweet tea. The rose taste was subtle which is my preferred and my friends enjoyed their drinks. We also split fried pickles as an appetizer with ranch. They fell apart pretty easily but satisfied our salty craving. Entrees included Crab Cake with Cajun fries, Red snapper Pontchartrain with asparagus, and Pan seared mahi with mashed potatoes. Crab cakes were soft while the fries were crunchy. I really liked the sauce on the red snapper and found the mahi to be tender. For the finale, the dessert just had to be Beignets. There were slightly dense, chewy, and sweet with the centimeter thick layer of powdered sugar on top. Overall, all the dishes were well seasoned and hearty portions. We especially enjoyed our table since it was right on their balcony (small space) so we could people watch the street below. Bathroom was clean and organized. Prices were a good match for the quality and portions. Would love to come again the next time we are in the area. read more

Super cute restaurant. Staff was very kind and I loved finding Nola food in the middle of Georgia. Drinks are stiff and food was filling.

Quaint place in downtown with about 7 tables indoors and 4-5 ish on the patio. Big portions and the red snapper was phenomenal. If you're in Dahlonega, a must eat! read more

Looking for a spot to eat breakfast and this spot was open plus they had beautiful outdoor balcony seating! Sadly, the atmosphere is the best about this place. The food was mediocre and I'm pretty sure the eggs are powdered. Breakfast was lacking flavor, the grits were extremely greasy. If coming here for bfast I'd say come with the expectation of bar food. Service was great, our server was kind and fast. Food quality though was pretty bad. read more

Bourbon Street Grille - Looked great, tasted pretty poor. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

Service was good. Food was great. Wasn't planning on New Orleans style food when we started our trip in Georgia but looking at menus online before picking a place for dinner sold us on coming here. I saw the alligator bites and had never tried alligator and thought an appetizer size would be the perfect way to do it. The joke that alligator tastes like chicken isn't too far off. They were good. Also got the etouffee and it was a large portion and delicious. Took some back to the hotel for the next day. read more

Another solid experience with Bourbon Street Grille. It was a chilly day, but spectacularly beautiful, so the view from the second floor was lovely. I started with a brown ale from Highland Brewing Company out of Asheville, NC. Great body and strong ale flavor, on draft. Service was on point, as always. Friendly and attentive, with nice check-in's to be sure we were enjoying our food. Food was delicious, of course. I tried the small swamp salad with my entree and it was an ample serving for two. So fresh, plenty of fresh lettuce and veg,served with homemade Bleu cheese dressing. No beignets for us this time, more's the pity, but our meals were far too satisfying to indulge. We will return again and again! read more

The food was fantastic relatively quick getting to the table unfortunately, our server was a freaking dud. We finally had to get up and chase down our bill sadly they wasn't very busy so no excuse. read more

There's lots to like here. With some standouts and maybe a miss or two. The good-great variety of offerings and very reasonable prices. The house salad, called a swamp salad at $6 for a small was a steal. The large salad with a crab cake was more than satisfying. Surprisingly, the crab cake was more crab than breading. The wings appetizer is a pass. Small, not crispy. And something I wouldn't order again. The gumbo was extremely thick. I'm used to a bit more "soup", but it was packed with sausage, shrimp, rice and veggie chunks. Spicy, too. Very good. A little more "soup" and it would have been some if the best I've ever tasted. Fish tacos were just ok. The fish was dry. Another pass. As for the cheesesteak hoagies, the boys scarfed them down. So, based how they were devoured, I'd say they're a winner, too! Certainly worth another visit. BTW, the burgers looked phenomenal. read more

I gave two stars because the food actually taste good. Every time we've been the flavor is always there, but this is the second time we've had a problem with the quality of the food. The first time the shrimp were not cooked. We let that go, but this time both my wife and I got sick and we didn't eat out anywhere else have had a stomach issue for two days! Completely unacceptable and I know that their restaurant rating was only like 83 but we again we've ignored it because the food always tasted good but getting sick no that's where I draw the line!! read more

$$ First time at Bourbon Street Grille here in dahlonega Georgia was wonderful! Having lunch with friends in a very bright and airy back porch area was fresh and friendly. Food was delicious, and served hot. There is ample seating both inside and out, upstairs and down. We will definitely be visiting this establishment again as a service was friendly, and efficient. Make sure you visit the Bourbon Street Grille, located right on the square in Dahlonega if you're ever passing through! Make lots of memories and safe travels read more

Good entries, little bit of an odd twist on Cajun food, but was good. Service was so-so. The young lady was nice enough, but seemed she was either overwhelmed or had too many tables. Drinks were always empty, asked for additional sauce for sandwiches, food was almost half finished before it showed up. Dessert beignets were almost not edible. Would give it another go but.... read more

Best brunch in town!! Have been coming here for about 5 years. Brunch a few times a month. The food is consistently great, service is sometimes hit or miss but we always bring out of town guests here. Faves on menu are shrimp/grits, Isabella bagel (few times have has a bad cut of steak with some fat which they promptly brought me another) great bloody Mary! read more

The service at Bourbon Street Grille was great. Our waitress had every table in the place and was making all of the bar drinks as well. It's a small place and seemed as it was all hands on deck! We both ordered jambalaya - 1 w shrimp and 1 combo w sausage and shrimp. The food was tasty, but the vegetables in the jambalaya had crunch to them, to me they hadn't been cooked long enough to make them soft. ( to be fair we were there soon after they opened.). The cornbread was a bit dry, as it is apt to be, but with a little butter, it was a tasty addition. The drinks were good. A huge piece of bacon in the Bloody Mary, and my holiday mule was a perfect blend w cranberry and the spring of rosemary added a nice flavor. read more

Sat on the upper balcony overlooking the square, a chilly night but worth it as we watched the people walking around the square. Would highly recommend getting there early to sit on the balcony. Restaurant was very busy over all, heard the wait time was over 1.5 hours mid way thru our meal. We had Creole Pasta Primavera, my wife enjoyed it and she added Chicken to her meal and through enjoyed it. I had the Shrimp Poor Boy which was very good but the shrimp were over cooked. For appetizers we had the Crawfish Dip which was to die for, our friends ordered a crab cake, which was burnt on the bottom. Beer selection is very limited only three American Selections, and 4 craft beers which they were out of one tonight. The ladies had Pinot Grigio and enjoyed the wine. Waitress was a little off tonight. One person asked for a straw and I asked for a Pint glass for my beer. Needless to say the glass or straw never showed up. We reminded her about the crab cake that was order as an entree to bring the rice with it. Carb cake showed up with out the rice on the side. Then when presenting the bill I had three items on my check that did not belong. They took care of it, but service was not top shelf that was for sure. I will not name the waitress as it may have been an off night. It was very enjoyable sitting on the balcony watching all of the Christmas lights come on as we were eating dinner. Christmas in Dahlonega , GA you should not miss it. read more

EAT HERE, let me say it again. EAT HERE. We were in Dahlonaga for the weekend had a fabulous dinner here. The restaurant is split between a downstairs and upstairs sections of the old building. The crab cakes and shrimp with dirty rice were out of this world. Two huge crab cakes seasoned so well, the shrimp were tender and sweet. My wife had the blackened snapper with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Her plate was full to the edges and the fish was delicious. I was really surprised how good the meal was. Our server was fantastic, she was so sweet and recommended my meal to me. We will be back here again. read more

Three of us just went and had another great experience there. Food was incredible, service outstanding and the environment fantastic. We ate upstairs inside dec 28. Crab cakes and wings for appetizers (super) blackened snapper, sirloin over mashed potatoes with gravy with asparagus and frog legs with okra and mashed potatoes. All were fantastic. Sides a cup of gumbo and some spicy sausage. When the snapper came late after the two other main courses they Graciously took it off our bill. Total class. Drinks were very good (cosmos and I had coke as the driver) for dessert we had the beignets which were warm and covered with powered sugar, a top 100 meal of my life (and I'm old). Try it, you'll like it! read more

Food was great! Service was great as well. It's attached to an art gallery and can be a little noisy at times.

Located right at the town square, this place offers a diverse selection of food options. You can sit upstairs on the outside patio which will give you a nice view of the town or sit inside and chill in the AC during the hot summer months. We started with the fried pickles as an appetizer which had nice dill flavors and crispiness. It was followed by Surf (shrimp) and Turf (ribeye) and Shrimp & Grits. I ordered the steak medium but it came out medium well (like most places, they overcook a level). I will keep reminding myself to lower the temp! The dish still turned out decent as ribeyes keeps the flavors well. The Shrimp & Grits came out in a bowl which is not something I'm used to. It also had green and yellow peppers as veggies, which made the pairing quite unusual. Again the flavor of the shrimp and grits tasted fine, probably not a dish I'd order again. The dining choices in town are fairly limited, so this is a choice to consider. Do call them and make sure they are open (despite their published hours) read more

This is not what I thought to find in Dahlonega but what a great surprise. Our party of four had the shrimp and grits, cheeseburger, dirty shrimp and gumbo. All were so very good I want to go back right now. read more

Well this spot really made me happy. Great service and delicious food. I was a little curious about how the food would be since it was an ode to New Orleans cuisine. Everything was really good! We ordered some drinks: I had the old fashioned and it was pretty good, my boyfriend ordered the mojito and he really liked it. I tried it to and thought it was pretty tasty. For food we ordered their wings, which were good, and the creamy pasta primavera with chicken sausage and wow! A flavor explosion. I was so so pleasantly surprised and would love to know where they get their chicken sausage from because it was delicious! The sauce for my pasta was amazing and so flavorful!!! My boyfriend ordered the shrimp and grits and enjoyed that as well. His meal came with this incredible jalapeño cornbread that I could've eaten all night lol. This was such a cute spot and it filled up pretty quick after we started eating. I heard they have a great upstairs seating area too. Definitely loved this trip! Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

We made a reservation in advance for Sunday Brunch. We requested the bottom floor. If you have elderly folks with you, there are many steps to climb to the upper dining. The staff was very friendly and attentive, no complaints. Service was exceptional.... Our food arrived in a good time, somewhat warm but acceptable. However, I was not thrilled by the smell coming from the plates, smelled consistently like a wet dog, possibly dirty dish water when cleaning them ? Was not impressed with the nickel and dime charges for salad dressings and butter, you really need to charge a quarter for butter sine my bagel was requested to have it buttered .... And seventy-five cents for salad dressing ! Really ..... The side of hot sausage was a little over cooked and dry, the fried chicken sandwich was good, the crab cakes Benedict was good, the crab cake appetizer was very questionable, very bad flavor, almost sour .... The swamp salad was average. The drinks were on the money Not giving a recommendation here read more

Best rice I've ever had in my life! The crab cakes were great, but the rice was phenomenal. 10/10 recommend

I'm pretty easy to please. Give me an unhurried meal, an outdoor table, a rich red wine, and you won't hear a peep out of me. Bourbon Street's upstairs balcony offers a good view of the street below. If you arrive at the right time, sort of between lunch and dinner, there's a good chance you'll be seated right away. We started with salad, which comes in two sizes: one priced at $6, the larger at $8. Know that the large is ample for three or more people to share as a starter. I bet the $6 salad would've been enough for the two of us. My complaint about shrimp & grits is that it's often prepared with an overload of cream, making it nauseatingly rich. Not here! My husband's dish was light and flavorful. Really good! Even the corn muffin that came with it. I stuck with a shrimp po boy. Blackened. Yum. They did a good job with the homemade chips, too. While Dahlonega is most certainly a tourist destination, the town has several restaurants that are pretty good. Bourbon Street has never disappointed, with a Cajun menu that doesn't break the bank. read more

Came here after a trip to Amicalola Falls and was pleasantly surprised. This is a New Orleans creole style restaurant with a lot of great options. I came with a party of 6 with no reservation and we were seated within 15 mins no issue. This is a very casual restaurant and they offered both a brunch and dinner menu. I had a hard time deciding what to order, concerned with how some of the dishes looked in pictures, but was pleasantly surprised. I decided on the Praline French Toast with Fried Chicken. I normally don't do really sweet dishes but the French Toast was perfect. As a person with very sensitive teeth I had no issues with the French toast which was topped with a praline sauce which was lightly sweet. I wasn't a fan of the chicken which were thin filets of chicken breast. I was expecting a juicy wing, thigh it breast. Other than that I was pleased with the food, pricing, and casual atmosphere. read more

Don't do it! We ordered the jambalaya... Where do I start? Their utilizing canned tomatoes to make this dish. You could taste the metallic from the can they utilized to complete this dish. I would not even feed this food to my dog as I'm sure he would turn his nose to it as well. We also ordered the pasta Primavera. The linguine utilized to make this dish was overcooked and not al dente. The dish had no flavor and was bland. Do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant as when we ask what they're known for they stated jambalaya. Unfortunately, I've had better jambalaya out of a box purchased from a big box retailer. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how great the food was. I guess I'm leery when places outside of Louisiana advertises Bourbon Street. I have to admit, the beignets were delicious. There were x4 to an order, and they were most definitely devoured by the group. These were pretty large in size and just the perfect texture. The fried chicken sandwich was super tasty. The chicken pieces were super crunchy and well seasoned. There was the right about of saltiness and flavor. In lieu of one whole chicken piece, I suppose they used leftover chicken or nuggets since the pieces were separated and kept falling out of the sandwich. The accompanying fries were golden and crispy. Though their thickness was of a medium size, they were great with a crunch at the end. And that's the only way fries should be! read more
