Something about the Picnic Cafe name made me think the food would be a little more homemade, cute in presentation, etc. but that wasn't quite the case. Our food was served on styrofoam, the coffee drinks were a-okay (from a machine) and the jelly was served in packets (I'm not sure why but I really pictured sweet local jams or something that would tie back to the name and feel of the business). The bakery case offered croissants, cookies, etc. I didn't try any of those for myself so I can't speak to them. They offer a handful of small tables both inside and on the front patio overlooking the square.  The service was great - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that here.

I tried smoked turkey with lettuce, tomato, bacon and mayo on sourdough instead of the multigrain. It fell into the fairly basic camp but it was basically delicious! Toasty bread, plenty of shaved turkey, right amount of bacon and fresh veg. My sis had the special of the day which was their version of a classic Italian hoagie. It was served on a sub roll and she liked it a lot. It was quick to order and pay, we parked ourselves under an umbrella on the deck and in about 7 minutes had our two delicious sandwiches brought out in a bag. How delicious? I went back the next day (Saturday) only to discover the hours had changed and they were closed. And yes, I did my Yelply duty and updated the business hours on the app :)

Located on the south side of Dahlonega next to the Chevron station (separate from the gas station itself), this small sandwich shop absolutely delivers when it comes to flavor, quality, and presentation. This was my first visit and I genuinely could not decide what to order, so I went all in and tried several sandwiches. Every sandwich I tried was excellent. The Cowboy Cubano and the Irish Imposter Reuben ended up being my favorites. That Reuben was so good I literally went to sleep thinking about it afterward. The Irish Imposter comes with shaved pastrami, Swiss cheese, barrel-cured sauerkraut, and their house-made thousand island aioli on toasted marble rye. Crispy on the outside, warm and cheesy inside, and packed with flavor. One of the better Reubens I've had in North Georgia. The Cowboy Cubano was incredible too. Smoked brisket, pepper jack cheese, green chiles, Texas red sauce, Alabama white sauce, and crispy fried onions on perfectly pressed Cuban bread. Smoky, creamy, crunchy, slightly spicy -- everything worked together perfectly. The Clubber was loaded with smoked turkey, thick-cut bacon, applewood smoked ham, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and garlic Dijon aioli. Super fresh, balanced perfectly, and the bread was fantastic. The Philly Cubano was another standout with shaved roast beef, steak seasoning, provolone, white American, roasted peppers, and onions on authentic Cuban bread imported from Miami. You can taste the difference immediately in the bread quality. I'm already planning a return trip specifically to try the High Country Cubano with pulled smoked pork, smoked ham, Swiss, dill pickles, chips, and smoky mustard aioli. The desserts were excellent too. They had these thick gourmet cookies that were amazing, especially the pecan pie cookie that basically combines a cookie with pecan pie filling on top. Dangerous stuff. What impressed me most is that these sandwiches are crafted with care. Great cuts, beautiful presentation, quality ingredients, and somehow they're not overly messy to eat. You can tell the people behind this place know what they're doing. Daniel was back there making sandwiches during my visit and doing an awesome job, and the service overall was excellent. Friendly people, welcoming atmosphere, and genuine pride in the food. A couple things to know before you go: 1. Parking is limited 2.It's a takeout spot. You do have a few chairs to sit and wait for your food inside though Honestly though, none of that matters once you take the first bite. If sandwiches were the only food I could eat for the rest of my life, I'd be completely fine with it -- and places like this are exactly why. Dahlonega is lucky to have a spot like this. Support local businesses and go give them a try.

While it was delicious I have to say I've had better especially since I've lived in the Middle East and love the food over there but this is a nice Mediterranean/Mis-East dining option for North Georgia to have as a healthier option than many places.

I'll be going back there when I'm back in the area that won't be long since I visit north Georgia often. Service was fine and nice little restaurant.

The ingredients: Wonder bread, classic pickles; basically the cheapest of the cheap, ultra-processed, high preservative American superstore food. If you wanted to buy those ingredients yourself and a make a burger, you would make it for much cheaper. My main qualms was just how stale and poor quality it all was. But the patty was the worse. So, so, so bad. It had no salt, no seasoning, tasted like cow and freezer burn and felt like rubber. I can't stress enough how bad it was, but I had to get myself a second lunch.

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.

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.
