This tavern in the center of Dahlonega is one of my favorite places to visit for lunch or dinner! While 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! read more

Want a tasty lunch while in Dahlonega? Here's a great choice. With indoor and outdoor seating, Nighthawk 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. read more

We stopped in at the Nighthawk Tavern the evening before a town festival. It was busy but we were seated immediately. We chose to sit outside. Service was quick and we ordered guacamole and Da Chicago pizza. We both really enjoyed the pizza. The crust was crispy and the peppers brought a perfect amount of heat. I would return if we are in the area again. read more

We had dinner and drinks at Nighthawk Tavern and absolutely loved it. The staff was amazing--friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. We sat at the bar and ended up meeting some really wonderful people, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was fantastic. I had the tacos and they were absolutely amazing, full of flavor and perfectly done. My husband had the pizza, and it was great as well--clearly made with care.

unassuming little place in downtown dahlonega - we had no expectations coming in, as we were starving and wanted to grab some food on our drive up a cabin. we ordered the hot honey pizza, which came out almost immediately. WOW. it was one of the best pizza's i have ever had in my life!! it was so tasty i cannot recommend it enough. overall, cute vibe, restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating but don't skip out! read more

Amazing pizza and wings!!! Service was great too. Went twice on our trip!!! Five stars.

Food overall was good! Queso was very runny so could be a bit thicker because it definitely dripped everywhere but tasty. Nothing fancy but very enjoyable. Our service was great, she was very quick and on top of it. Very tiny place but had a cozy vibe and the games on if that is of interest. read more

If you've been to Dahlonega you know how busy everything can be. We were happily surprised when we arrived around 2pm and were able to sit a party of 8 right away. The server was kind and helpful even though it was clear she was busy she never made us feel like our questions were a waste of her time. The food was very good, typical bar bites so nothing that stands out at a winner taste wise but after a long day of hiking in the wet weather it was a perfect diversion before we headed home. read more

The host and wait staff were so helpful and accommodating! They made our kid's weird tacos without hesitation and were very attentive with refills etc. Thank you!' read more

What a most amazing experience it was eating at Nighthawk Cafe, Dahlonega. Me and my party at five had a most amazing time of it at lunch there last weekend. Every sandwich was over the top incredible and the salads were amazing too! All members of myparty give it an A+ plus! The staff were super courteous, especially to our disabled member of the party, who had to have accommodation for his wheelchair. They went out of their way to make us super comfortable and took care of our huge appetites. If you were up in Dahlonega to yourself to go to Nighthawk Tavern, for a delicious lunch! read more

Christian and Leah are the best, and the food always hits! Their cheeseburger and their wings are 2 of my personal favorites, but I haven't found a way to go wrong yet ! Check it out read more

We went looking for a place that had Greek Pizza, because we have had it numerous times. The reviews for this place looked good.This one had very little if no meat and was burnt. We were told it is supposed to be like that "crispy", but this was beyond crispy. Service was very condescending. I guess you cannot rely on Yelp reviews. read more

Greasy cheap tasting food. Came over cooked and cold. Will not go back and waste my money.

Food is great. Like others say you will probably have to wait to get the food but worth it. I had the steak tacos, which were delicious. I tried my son's spicy chicken fingers and fries which were very good. Fries had a yummy Seasoning but could have cooked a tad longer. My husband got a burger. Now, he is very picky so in picture it is probably missing the good stuff! We also got chips and cheese. The chips are the tasty thin kind, choices of salsa, cheese and quac. read more

Well the service was a bit odd..took a while to get noticed and then helped by about 3 different people...cold ipa on draft but ran out and switched to another. Quesadilla was bland....someone brought in about 5 Walmart bags of frozen food so I guess they ran out but if this is normal for them to get from Walmart then don't want to return read more

The food here is so good! I have had some great hot honey barbecue chicken wings, the hot honey pizza and the avocado tacos. I also am a fan of the margaritas. The staff is friendly and work really hard to get everyone their orders. read more

We came around 6:30 and were seated right away. The restaurant has a cool vibe with a bar and a large window facing the square, definitely a great place to people watch. We ordered the Wednesday wing deal which is 8 wings, celery, fries and a drink for $12, great deal! The wings tasted great and my waitress Peyton was super sweet and accommodating and let my freind get multiple different flavors on their wings. Overall the service and the food were great!! read more

Food was very good for the price and service has always been very good. Tables a bit crowded, but all in all, good place to try

Sorry, but we stopped in on Sunday, October 13, 2024 around 2:30 and sat at the bar. The restaurant was very busy, but we sat there for over ten minutes and no one behind the bar even acknowledged us! They could have given us a menu and told us they would be with us soon, but we received no service at all! We got tired of waiting and walked out and down the street to Spirit's Tavern, where they seated us immediately, even though they were very busy too! We had excellent service and great food! read more

We visited around 2:00PM on a Thursday and the place was humming. We had "Da Veggie" pizza. Food, service, wait times were all great.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great drinks! Service was a little slow as they only had 2 servers and a bartender in the whole restaurant, and it was packed! Definitely recommend. Street tacos were amazing! Guacamole and salsa were the best I've had in Georgia! read more

Glad to see a restaurant in the square with a good variety of food. Staff is friendly and attentive. My party was immediately greeted and we chose to sit at the bar. The Tavern serves local beer/mead as well as cocktails. We had pizza and some wings. SO GOOD! Televisions are available to watch sports. We will return. read more

It is so nice to have a restaurant in town that is open everyday of the week. The food is good and the wait staff is friendly. They have a daily special and a full bar. It is now my go to restaurant. read more

My boyfriend and I ate here for dinner. We ordered the coconut shrimp and BBQ pizza. Our shrimp was brought out and we bit into it and it was raw. Still cold and completely raw. Our server brought us a new plate of the shrimp which were also raw. Although we did not have to pay for the raw shrimp we did not have a manager speak with us, or any other form of apology. The pizza was flavorless and it would've been better from another local pizza joint. If you want raw tasteless food this is the place to go. read more

Great service, great food + apps! The chips + guacamole was so good. It's a perfect spot for casual dining right off the Dahlonega square. I will defiantly be going back. read more
