My husband had the meatloaf and I had the pork tacos neither was very good. The tacos were vinegar tasting no flavor no cilantro sauce like it says, The meatloaf was drowned in barbecue sauce and a couple on the back patio with us had two dogs that kept trying to eat off of our plate. All in all it was just not the best experience but they did have a good sweet tea & the service was great... We ended up eating at Taco Bell at 10 o'clock at night because we we're hungry we didn't want to finish the food. read more

What a fantastic dinner tonight! Party of 5 tonight had adult beverages and fantastic meals. Lauren was a very personable waitress! Her recommendations were on point. We visit often and enjoy the porch in cooler weather! read more

Service was pretty slow and there weren't very many people there. The food had potential, but ultimately I thought it was mediocre with a high price. read more

Worst experience ever. Brought friends from out of town, so embarrassed. Took over 20 minutes to be waited on. Over an hour 15 for our food...sandwiches. Food quality was poor, will NOT be back! read more

What can I say? My friends and I meet here every now and then for lunch, the staff is always friendly, we have great rapport with them. It's such a treat. It took me awhile to get used to the new menu but it's good now. They have many gluten free items and are willing to work with you for your dietary needs. read more

Would not recommend, food bad, service bad, not pleasent. Was there for a rehearsal dinner. Five people were not served. One server for thirty people. Was a two hour wait. All was pre-planned and was a mess. Would not go there ever again. read more

Found this by accident and lucky me. I'm new to the area from the 'Big City' and was worried I'd be doomed to Denny's type fare with the occasion fast food chain thrown in. This was an awesome surprise. I had the Cheese Steak sandwich. The food was excellent, the service good, clean modern dining room (also there's a nice porch/balcony), oh, and the Pecan Bourbon cheesecake was probably the best cheesecake I've ever had! All desserts are homemade and I imagine they're all comparable. I can't wait to work my way through them. I was there mid afternoon and it was slow but I can't imagine this place having much downtime. Lots of choices on the menu will keep me well fed for some time now. read more

Yahoola Creek Grill - Caterers Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

The patio area was the best part of our experience since we were traveling outside Atlanta and just came from the mountains. The service is really strong here! Andrea was the second best thing about our experience, especially with the drinks she gave us (bourbon apple cider, maybe with maple). The food, however, was the weakest part of our experience. Although the veggie pasta and the carrot ginger coconut soup were delicious, everything was subpar. Our grilled cheese wasn't melted, the crab cakes were greasy since they were deep fried, and the plantains had a bland seasoning with a bland sauce. I would however recommend this place when you're out and/or traveling in the area. read more

This place wanted $8 for a house salad. They are very over priced and. I thot they were stuck up and serving us took forever

Ehhh. My salmon pasta was good. Husband's mahi mahi was ridiculously small-portioned. Going downstairs to the bar for drinks was quicker than our service at the table Yes we were with a big party (13). Also, two friends got same dish (shrimp and grits) and they looked like different dishes. One was soupy, the other dry. Waitress was nice but had no patience for our humor and for the price, the overall experience was, again, ehhh. I doubt we will be back! read more

Not very happy with our lunch. We were a party of 9 trying out a new place. The service was very very slow, when the food finally came alot of it was very over cooked and I had to return mine and didn't reorder because of how lo g it took read more

This is THE Place for your event in Dahlonega. Our family recently had the rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding here in the Garden Terrace room and it was great. Our biggest problem was fitting everyone in for the joyous occasion (we had over 60 people). Everyone gave the event rave reviews. We had the family style meal, featuring Parmesan, Rosemary and Pecan Crusted Chicken, Flank Steak with Roasted Shallots, with Spicy Black-Eyed Peas, Pimento Potato Bites, Vegetable Medley, Roasted Root Vegetables, Brownie Bites, and Blueberry Cobbler. It was all delicious. The drinks were wonderful and we kept the bartender busy, and the venue was great about providing very flexible bar hosting options. Be forewarned, they are busy, so get your next event reservation in soon. read more

AMAZING! First time yesterday, the food was ACE, the customer service ACE, the chef even came out and talked....What a wonderful experience. We will be regulars where everyone will know our names. read more

Came in for a late lunch at 2:00. Only three other tables at the time. Waited 45 minutes for two french dip sandwiches with fries. Wound up asking for it to go after 30 minutes, Waitress brought out food on plates with to go boxes and expected me to fix it to go myself! Never showed any remorse, no apologies, no comps, no thanks or anything as walking out the door. First review I have ever left for a restaurant. As a former restaurant owner, I am extremely disappointed based on my previous visits. Will not be going back. read more

Service was not great, waitress acted like we were an inconvenience to her and the food was overpriced ($12) for a chicken sandwich and topping were extra and Zaxby's is better. THEN I had to pay extra because I had more people than they wanted to serve!?!? My family won't be making that mistake again!!! read more

I was nervous after reading several bad reviews but decided to take a chance and I'm so glad we did! I had the Souther Burger and it was great! It's a small restaurant so it's hard for them to accommodate several large crowds. Andy our server was very nice. Food was a little slow but you can tell that it is made with care and it's a small kitchen so I don't find fault in it. Overall I was very pleased. read more

Been many times never been disappointed with food and serve. Friendly folks and awesome Frried GrEen Tomatoes

I was pleasantly surprised with Yahoola Creek Grill. The atmosphere was very relaxed and casual. The dining rooms are small and quaint but very clean. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Most importantly, the food is outstanding! read more

First time here. Won't be the last. Read the reviews and decided to try the chicken with Mac and cheese. Super rich, but very delicious. The lunch specials are 8.99 and come with a drink. Pretty good deal. My friend opted for the turkey melt that came with a beautiful salad loaded with lots of goodies. Hers was slightly more healthy than mine. At least she had some greens. We sat on the patio which is enclosed. No view of the creek,but still pretty nonetheless. Terrific server awesome sweet tea. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great menu. Everything I have had has been really good. My favorite is the Shrimp and Grits with Andouille sausage. YUM... The desserts are also really good. Pumpkin Cheesecake on the fall menu is particularly tasty. The staff is excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable of the unique menu and specialties. Go. ENJOY! read more

I go here to eat about 6 or 7 times a year. The food quality and service is consistently above and beyond other restaurants, not just in Dahlonega but also Atlanta OTP also. The chicken tastes like it was just slaughtered right when I walked through the door. Of course, it probably was. The back deck is nice. If the lower lever is too full and they have the staff, they might sit you in the upstairs room that I jokingly call the looney ward. It's private and quiet up there. And since I don't think Lumpkin County posts their inspection scores online, I'll tell you that the report that they prominently display at eye level, within 10 feet of the door, as required, has been an "A" every time I've been there. read more

Been here a couple of times - lunch once and another time dinner. Service was great both times, very friendly staff. Good wine, appetizers, the flat bread pizza was good and the dinner entrees excellent as well. read more

Sitting on the patio with my honey on a beautiful north Georgia Sunday eating salmon eggs Benedict on homemade English muffin. Potatoes and fresh FRESH fruit. Oh yes the delectable blueberry muffins right before. I think. I'm in heaven!!! Fabian was fabulous. read more

Great food! Wonderful chef and staff. No matter what I have ordered it has always been amazing!

Nothing out of the ordinary, service is adequate, but was not impressed with the half eaten meal sitting on the bar and was viewed as you walked out to the patio. Removing the dishes gives a much better impression and by the way, sincerely did not appreciate the fowl music selection that was playing. read more

Silverware and bread plates were dirty. Service was extremely lacking. There didn't seem to be an adult manager anywhere to be seen! Food was mediocre, and way overpriced for the quality, or lack there of. We would never go there again. read more

I heard great things about this restaurant, but it did not live up to my expectations. My husband and I ordered cocktails to begin. Upon arrival of our drinks we ordered a salad and wine course and chose our entree items. Our server brought our salads out seconds later and dropped our entrees and wine a few minutes later. We had only been seated for 10 minutes at this point!!! If the food had been fantastic, I may have been able to look past the ridiculous course times, but it was Applebee's caliber food for 3 times the price. If I'm going to pay $12 for a salad and $25 for an entree, I expect the server to time the courses appropriately. We definitely won't be back! read more

We were looking for a pet friendly restaurant to bring our two dogs to, and in the rain, that was hard to come by. The covered patio in back was nice for them. We were offered water and all the servers wanted to meet the dogs, so that was nice. I ordered the flatbread of the day, which was tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. It was pretty good, but not very warm. My husband got the chicken and waffles. Not one for veggies, he was surprised it came with a big helping of steamed spinach. But the chicken and waffles were tasty. Overall, is a nice place to have a quiet lunch on the river. We will be back - with the dogs of course! read more

Wow. We were impressed. Everything tastes made in-house. Excellent flavors. Lovely waitress. And the chefs tiny daughter sometimes even buses tables. She's 5. This place is WORTH the drive out of downtown to get real food crafted by a real chef, for people who enjoy layers of nuance and we'll made food! read more

We have given Yahoola 1 more try ... what a disappointment! Met my brother & sister law for Mother's Day brunch. Along with my husband.. Sister in law ordered the daily quiche dripping in oil & cheese, brother ordered a omelette raw onions, burnt on the edges.. I ordered a omelette same thing raw onions burnt on the edges raw "home fries". I sent my order back . Ordered & burger. I should have ordered that in the first place like my husband did! Maybe "Chef Nick" was having another off day! Or he has too many irons in the pot!!!!! WE Will Never Return!!!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at our recent experience at YCG. Being that Dahlonega is not widely know as a food mecca, my expectations were not quite as high, but I was hopeful. We stopped in this past Saturday night around 5pm after doing some wine tasting in the area. We were probably the first evening diners there and were seated immediately with our server coming over within a minute or so. We started with some waters and while thinking about a bottle of wine, we decided to try the fried pickles ($5) as an appetizer. They ended up being dill pickles (cut in quarters), fried, and then served with a ranch dressing. They were great! Hot out of the frier (as they should be) and just the right portion for 2 people to split. After that we ordered a bottle of Rocking Chair Red ($19) and put in our orders for dinner. I had the the Tips and Shrooms ($16), cooked Medium, which came with a small side of mashed potatoes, and green beans. Everything was pretty tasty, with 2 minor setbacks: 1. The Tips were cooked more so Medium Well as opposed to what was requested. 2. The gravy and mushrooms, that the tips were served in, was really salty. Often a sign of adding cheap flavor to the food. However, the mashed potatoes tasted fresh (aka not frozen or out of a box) along with the green beans. The mashed potatoes were not overly salty, buttery, or rich, which I think demonstrates the cook knew how to season them without fattening them up with heavy cream. My wife had the chicken fingers and fries ($9) after reading another person's review. Rarely would I order something like this, however, they ended up being quite good. Seems they get their chicken locally (Springer Farms) and I could definitely tell that they were breaded on location. So, they came out piping hot, and were served with your choice of honey mustard, ranch, and maybe one other dressing that's used as a dipping sauce. The fries were decent, served hot, and there was some sort of paprika type seasoning on them to add a little flavor. They weren't great, and not done poorly, so they were probably a little bit better than the average fries. As a whole, we were able to eat, drink a bottle of wine, and enjoy ourselves for around $60 - $65. I would definitely give this a try again if we're ever up in that neck of the woods. read more

We love Yahoola Creek Grill. Laura always takes great care of our group. Thanks so much for all of the delicious food and beautiful porch! :) Foods I recommend: praline cheesecake, ultimate grilled cheese, fried green tomatoes, chicken skewer appetizer, and any salad you'd like! Their salads are HUGE. read more

Food sounds great but once we got seated our waitress would not come back to take our order and the staff are inside are on their cell phones texting. One gentlemen who looked to be doing everything was super nice and finally took over our table and apologized. He got our orders in right away. Hope the food will be worth it. read more

Lovely restaurant! They just got a new chef, so the menu has changed considerably. Would eat here again!

I've been to this place a bunch of times, and after giving it some thought, I have to give it five stars, mostly because it's such a good value. These folks are always pleasant and accommodating and the atmosphere is cozy and pleasant. The food is sometimes amazing and sometimes not so much, but I've never had a bad meal here. When I'm looking to go out for a nice meal, this place is on my short list. We've had our Valentine's Day dinner here at least three times, if that says anything. I recommend it. read more

First time here and I should have listen to the reviews... non-existent customer service and just bad food. Sat to a sticky table...which all of them are FYI due to "sun damage". We ordered fried green tomatoes, farmhouse salad, and flat bread of the day. I decided on the fried green tomatoes and farm house salad because it had goat cheese listed as an ingredient...well the fried green tomatoes come out with no goat cheese but feta cheese...okay I blew this off as a simple mistake. Then my salad comes out with not goat cheese but feta AGAIN. I decided not to eat it and asked our "busy texting waiter" if they had goat cheese I get a response of "idk I'll ask" she comes back and tells me they do NOT have goat cheese. We'll this should have been told to us when we ordered the 2 menu items that were suppose to come with it. I returned the salad and the flat bread came out.....this was a Nann bread not a flat bread not even baked with semi melted shredded mozzarella cheese from a bag and cut up tomatoes...just all around bad. Waters we're never refilled, no appology was ever given for the misleading cheese. I love Dahlonega but not this place.. read more

Awful! We made reservations for 14 for Mothers Day for 1:00. Food did not come out until 2:30. The orders were all wrong and they forgot 3 of them. Simple eggs Benedict was served with hard boiled eggs. They sent replacement eggs in a cup with water and basically raw. Third time the plate came out with eggs and none of the side dishes. The manager was aware. No discount offered on the over 200.00 bill. This place used to be good years ago but I will never be back. We had to leave and go get food from McDonald's for Mother's Day. read more

Took 1.5 hours to get our food. And everyone else at the restaurant had the same problem. Obviously they don't know how to staff the kitchen. Regardless of what the other reviews here say, DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Had the Salmon BLT, loved it!! The Quiche was also excellent. Very nice quaint environment. Servers where very attentive. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly, my favorite place to always return too for a great meal. read more
