Food: Excellent food and generous portions.

The burger and tater tots were also very good. The menu offers a wide variety of specialty burgers with plenty of customization options, including grass-fed beef for a small upcharge. Fair prices for the quality and quantity of food--definitely left in a food coma. Service: Service was efficient and the food came out well-prepared. No major issues during the visit. Atmosphere: Located in downtown Dahlonega, making it easy to explore nearby shops and dessert spots before or after your meal. The tavern has a darker, eclectic vibe with artwork, punk music, and a slightly edgy feel. The décor fits the restaurant's origins and personality, though the lighting--including in the restrooms--is quite dim. Parking downtown can be somewhat difficult during busy times.

First off thank you to our server Mattie for taking great care of us throughout our dinning experience. We started off our meal with the Mac and Cheese bites Mattie suggested and they were delicious.

We highly recommend you stop in and give this hidden gem a try. No pun intended it was a mining town at one time. The atmosphere was a great local vibe. We will be back.

The best part is definitely the setting--you can sit and watch tubers float down the river while you eat. Just keep in mind there are no fans or air conditioning, so it can get pretty hot... The menu posted on the food truck/website is not the full menu, so make sure to ask for the paper copy. They're known for the Buddha Burger and also have some healthier options. The food was okay for me, but if you love greasy smash burgers, you'd probably rate it much higher. One thing I didn't love was the pricing. Prices have increased, and there is an upcharge for paying by credit card that I didn't see mentioned on their website. There are also no fountain drinks--everything is bottled and purchased separately. Service was great. The person cooking and serving us was very friendly and genuinely eager to tell us about the food, the location, and their sister restaurant (Hoochee's River basket). Overall, I'd stop by again if I were already in the area, especially for a casual picnic-style meal with a nice river view. The atmosphere/location is really what makes it unique.

It's a neat little place built inside a train boxcar -- narrow but clean, organized, and well laid out. There's plenty of outdoor seating available, not just at Boxcar Grill itself but also next door where you can sit and enjoy your food. Inside seating is comfortable, and everything was nice and clean. I ordered the Train Wreck Smash Burger, and fair warning: it is VERY messy. Chili, fried egg, bacon -- super flavorful and tasty, but you'll want extra napkins. Totally worth it if you don't mind getting a little dirty. I also had the maple bourbon wings, which were sticky, sweet, and delicious. Messy as expected, but cooked well and full of flavor. The curled potato wedge fries were excellent -- crispy, seasoned well, and a great side. Had it all with a Sprite Zero, food came out fresh and hot, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is a great stop whether you're solo, with friends, or with family. Fun concept, good food, and a relaxed small-town vibe. I'd definitely come back.

We were picking up my truck from the Ram dealer around lunchtime so said "hey let's go get some BBQ, it's right down the road". The exterior has a modern and tidy barn door look and there is plenty of parking. We walked in and it was nice and cool (great on a summer day) and looked to the left to see the cafeteria line. Hey this looks odd for a BBQ restaurant buts lets check it out. Then we see in the line that there neither stew nor que, it's southern meat and two. OK, well we are here let's give it a go. I had chicken tenders which looked hand breaded. They had good texture but could use some spices. The mashed potatoes were hood with some good gravy. The lima beans were too salty to eat. Megan liked her chicken fried steak. I am not sure it was breaded house. She also had the mashed potatoes. Megan liked the green beans. The corn bread was kinda dry and crumbly with no sweetness. I think some people like it this way. The biscuit was good. I am not a super fan of the meat and three so this was just OK. I would likely stop here for a breakfast biscuit if I am in the area in the morning.

Tonight was our final attempt at giving Pings another chance, and unfortunately it was even worse than the last time. We called more than 24 hours in advance to let them know we'd be bringing a large party. During that phone call they were so appreciative, would be sure to let the staff know, and would be sure to have a table set up for us outside. Once we arrived today, that completely changed and were told "it doesn't matter what you were told" and were completely dismissed by the manager. The manger actually said, you can wait, or leave. We decided to wait, even though we were already treated horribly just trying to check in. After waiting over 30 minutes to be seated, we were then told they didn't care that we were a party of 12 -- we were not allowed to move the outside tables together so we could sit as a group. This was after our previous visit, where we waited over an hour just to be seated, and then another hour for mediocre food. We genuinely hoped things would improve after they reopened, but the service and food are somehow worse than before. Save your time and your money. There are too many great local restaurants that actually value their customers.
