This tavern in the center of Dahlonega is one of my favorite places to visit for lunch or dinner!…read moreWhile the food that they serve is the usual bar food you could find anywhere (burgers, chips and salsa, wings, etc), the reason I keep coming back is because of the fantastic service I get there! I always sit at the bar and talk with the waitresses or waiters while I enjoy my drink, talking about our days, what's going on in life, then 10-15 mins later my food comes out! Always exactly what I order, never unsatisfied with food quality, and most importantly I feel welcome! Since I have gone so many times, once I'm recognized, we make jokes that I always order "the usual," an iced tea with a bbq bacon cheeseburger (and it's true, lol). Overall, if you are ever on a roadtrip, in town shopping around, or hanging with friends, and want to get a quick bite to eat, chat with someone locally, the Nighthawk Tavern is the place to go!

Want a tasty lunch while in Dahlonega? Here's a great choice. With indoor and outdoor seating,…read moreNighthawk Tavern is always in season. Our group of 9 were seated quickly. Menus and water were served promptly and the food was brought to our table piping hot. Even the fries, the failure point for most restaurants were hit and crisp. The pizzas, described as Chicago Style, were a thin crust pie. (Somebody needs to visit Chicago-Town for a primer). But, both pies disappeared. A fajita bowl and burrito bowl both vanished. My Greek gyro was overstuffed with lamb and fillings. Absolutely fantastic. And the spicy chicken fingers also vanished. Zero leftovers on ole servings. The food was that good. And service was attentive and water was consistently refilled. Just one caveat, for larger groups, Nighthawk Tavern adds a gratuity to the check. They're very transparent, as the tip is clearly shown. I still added a few bucks to the total. If you're in Dahlonega. you'll be more than happy with Nighthawk Tavern. And you certainly won't leave hungry.

Seriously does it get better than a Pizza Hut Classic? My husband and I were headed to a meeting…read moreand were running late. I called Pizza Hut from 400 and ordered. We walked in the door as our Pan Pizza was coming out of the oven. At first taste we realized this was the Pizza Hut we grew up on, not the one they are serving at other locations. They even have the salad bar. Oh my DELICIOUS! A little add on to the sign out front we missed. Pizza Hut CLASSIC. Okay, I told you enough, make the trip and then head into downtown Dahlonega for a day of meandering through the shops. Oh, I forgot the pictures, but will try to update on our next trip. Yes, we will be visiting again.

The house salad was made up of greens that were not clean, the lettuce was old where they were it was cut as you can see in the pictures and the dressing which was homemade vinaigrette was completely 100% oil. The baked Italian sub was not baked at all, the cheese was not even melted on the sandwich. The garlic breadsticks which we were told were phenomenal were frozen or store-bought breadsticks that were heated up in the oven. You would think in a pizzeria restaurant that they would make their own breadsticks. Every pizzeria in the free world makes their own breadsticks fresh. The cheese and pepperoni pizza which they say is a crowd favorite came to the table and was nothing but a pool of grease. I am not being critical, I'm being real. The waitress (Hailey) was very nice, but it seemed like a whole lot of people standing around to me to not get things right. For 2 people spending $45 for lunch I would expect a little more attention to what the menu says and what you serve. If you say, baked on the menu, then bake the sub long enough to melt cheese.

Came here on a Sunday for a day trip from the city; it's about 1.5 hours from Decatur. Upon…read morearrival, parking may seem limited at first, but there's actually plenty available. We parked at the bottom of the venue and had to climb the stairs to the top. If you're lucky, you might catch a ride in the golf cart, but if you're seated in the back, hold on tight because it's a steep ride! We came for the Sunday brunch buffet, which features a different theme each month and never disappoints. If brunch isn't your thing, you can enjoy a wine tasting in the tasting room located below the main dining area. If you're there for brunch, you're also allowed to go back and forth between the tasting room and dining room during your allotted table time. I definitely recommend visiting any time of year; the views alone are worth the trip!

We had a reservation for dinner on 12/20 at 6:30 pm. Knowing it was the holiday season and that Dahlonega is a popular destination, we intentionally made a reservation so our family could enjoy a relaxed dinner together during our visit. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several ways. Cons: Despite having a reservation, we waited an excessive amount of time to be seated. Once seated, our table was visibly dirty. When a server finally came by, bread was delivered without plates, utensils, or napkins, which required an additional long wait. Service throughout the meal was extremely slow. We watched several other parties arrive, dine, and leave while we were still waiting. The chicken piccata was not prepared correctly and tasted more like a sour Alfredo-style sauce. The steak was chewy and not cooked as ordered. Pros: We received a small complimentary cannoli for a birthday, which was appreciated. The ambiance was festive and nice for the holidays. Had we known about the level of service and food quality ahead of time, we would have chosen to dine elsewhere during our visit. It's disappointing to say, but based on this experience, I would not retur

The Cumming location is great, but the Dahlonega location needs some support in the food. The ambience and service is always great, that's not the issue . The issue is in the food and I think the quality of meat, quality of sauce, and especially the quality in the calamari needs to be improved . Sadly it seems I'll have to wait another 3 years before I try this place again.

If you are looking for the perfect blend of outdoor adventure, authentic Italian flavors, and…read morebreathtaking atmosphere in North Georgia, look no further than Trattoria di Montaluce. I have visited Montaluce Winery and Estates many times over the years, but I've always been on the move, never quite able to pause and soak in the full experience. This past weekend, while celebrating my birthday, my friends and I decided to change that. After a refreshing hike through the stunning property, we finally made time to stop in and it was everything I hoped it would be. The moment you step inside, you are transported. The interior aesthetics are absolutely gorgeous. There is a distinct, charming, and "campy" vibe that feels incredibly rustic and upscale at the same time. The taxidermy animals mounted on the walls add such a unique, authentic touch to the space. It's the kind of place you just don't find in chain restaurants. There is just something about a good wood-fired pizza that is unmatched. You can taste the quality and the craft in every bite. I ordered the classic Margherita pizza, and it was exactly what I needed after hiking. It was fresh, bubbly, and perfectly charred. To round out the meal, I paired my pizza with a glass of their signature apple wine. It was the perfect crisp accompaniment to the meal, capturing the essence of the Georgia mountains. Surrounded by real friends who truly celebrate you is a blessing within itself, and Trattoria di Montaluce provided the perfect backdrop for our birthday festivities. It's the kind of place where time slows down, allowing you to actually connect and enjoy the company you're with. If you find yourself finishing a day of wine tasting and hiking, and you think you might not have room for a full pizza, do not let that stop you! Order it anyway and take it home. Your future self will absolutely thank you for that delicious, wood-fired treat the next day. Whether you are a local or just visiting the North Georgia mountains, make sure the Trattoria at Montaluce is on your itinerary. It is a quintessential experience that I am so glad I finally carved out the time to enjoy. #DahlonegaEats #Montaluce #WoodFiredPizza #GeorgiaWineries #YelpElite #BirthdayCelebration #AshSaidIt #NorthGeorgiaLiving #ItalianDining #FoodieLife

Came here recently for an early dinner and had an okay time. We initially sat outside but there…read morewere bees and flies circling the table so we asked to be moved inside. The atmosphere inside doesn't remind me of an upscale winery, tables were cramped and tons of TVs were on showing sports. Food was good though!! The calamari was delicious and I loved the side sauces it came with. The mozzarella delight is amazing for mozzarella stick lovers because of the amount of cheese and perfect breading with sea salt on top. The vodka sauce pizza was okay, the prosciutto made it pretty salty but I really liked the pesto drizzled on top. The pappardelle was also good. The apple crisp skillet was mid. Wish the apples were cut up into smaller, easier to eat pieces. Our server forgot we moved inside and we saw our food sitting at the table outside and had to bring it in ourselves. Overall: pretty location and good food, service and interior aren't up to par if you're looking for a classy, high-end dinner experience I would pick somewhere else.

I kept watching people leave with their one singular pizza after an hour of waiting. Nobody was rude but I've never waited this long for anything in my life and for pizza is absolutely ridiculous. It smelled like gas while I was for my pizza for so long that I had to go in my car to wait and I went back 10 minutes later to check for my pizza and they said 10 minutes more and when I went 10 minutes later I still had to wait another 15 minutes which is even more ridiculous.
