The only problems were: -Patrons packed into every available inch. Our row of chairs was touching the backs of the chairs behind us. No room to adjust seating. -No room to store coats and packages except keep them in our laps or try to put on floor (not a good choice) -Heavy traffic all around us. Definitely not an intimate setting but great if one didn't want to communicate with their guest. -EXTREAMLY NOISY!!!! Couldn't even converse with those at my table -Food was delicious and seemed authentic. Served rapidly. Was not able to enjoy cocktail because meal arrived so quickly. -Female server was very fast with refills, take home boxes, and our check. She appeared tired! -Very little waiting space at the front area. Probably won't be a problem in warmer weather and wait outside. -Would have been nice to have a menu while waiting to decide on drinks and food choices. -Menus large in size and hard to juggle i0n a large party Will probably go back due to quality of food. Will not go on a peak eating time. -No room for wheelchairs and maneuvering hard due to crowd. Plenty of parking because restaurant was upside mall area.

Hi, my usual 1/2 pound cheeseburger on ciabatta bread, with coleslaw and French fries.

We're not used to that in the big city. The service was good considering they're only appeared to be a couple waitresses handling the whole restaurant I ordered eggs over easy with grits and smoked sausage. I was a little disappointed in my eggs were over hard and not runny. The smoked sausage tasted more like store-bought sausage, and the grits were fairly bland. Not a bad meal and I ate it all, but not what I was hoping for. Now a couple of us did split a cinnamon roll that was out of this world good. It was hot fresh and tasted really good.

Our table was lovely and private, perfect for heartfelt conversation, and our server, Bailey, was cheerful as always and so accommodating. We started with mussels and the Caesar salad. Both were good, but I can't stop thinking about the buttery deliciousness of the mussels and broth. Honestly, the best I've ever had. My husband and I had the fish and chips: steel-head trout, lightly battered and fried with tartar sauce and malt vinegar. So good! Our daughter had the ribeye and it was out of this world. Perfectly cooked to medium rare, nice sear on the outside and a gorgeous red center. Easily the best steak my daughter and husband (couldn't resist a taste) had ever had. The garlic compound butter is a must-have. Perfect compliment to the steak. We foolishly ended with an incredibly decadent dessert and it, too, was amazing! A chocolate brownie with ice cream and rum sauce . . . We fought over it even though we were so full after the great dinner. We love Home. A wonderful relaxing dinner, a wonderful special occasion place, or a great place to try their take-out menu, we are so lucky to have Home so near our community. Service is always impeccable and the food meets most exacting standards.

We had our 12 lb bundle of puppy joy with us so to the back deck we went. I think Dakotah was the only server on the main floor, both inside and out because it took a long time. Long time for water. He was busy even though the restaurant wasn't full. Poor guy. My hubby ordered the muffaletta and wasn't impressed. He ate it though. He loved his Abita root beer. I decided to order from the side menu and I'm so happy I did. The andouille sausage was grilled and tasty. The maque choux was amazing. Think Mexican corn with a Louisiana twist. Perfection!! The loaded grits were also wonderful- chocked full of gouda, bacon, and green onions. Delicious! The gumbo was thick like a stew. The flavor was smoky and sublime. My only beef is instead of all gumbo, the cup was filled mostly with rice... topped with gumbo. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. However, due to the pace of things, the underwhelming sandwich and perception of getting shorted on the chicken and gumbo. I wouldn't hesitate to swing by and order a maque choux to go as a snack except they charge $1 for the to-go container.

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.

It's just really good bar food favorites. Surprise of the evening. Chips and salsa! Salsa was better than 99% of Mexican restaurants I've frequented . Surprisingly fresh and flavorful. Burgers are always tasty and prepared hot and fresh. My ole go to is the WINGS! However you like yours flavored, they seem to have a knack for good flavors. I just go with buffalo sauce original. Hard to beat. You can also have a nice beer or cocktail if desired. Everything is usually served up to you by the almost stereotypical (in a nice way) young lady with lots of energy and a beautiful smile that's followed by a voice sweeter than the sweet tea. , LOL. All jokes aside, some hard working young ladies who do an excellent job of the not so easy task of serving a full bustling bar/cafe. Worth the $$$ and the visit.

Ok my reviews are generally pretty positive. I try to give the benefit of the doubt…read more The good: our server was really nice. The bathroom was clean. The meh: Service was sporadic. We're pretty sure the chili on the nachos came out of a can. The liquid pooled in the bottom of the plate to it quickly turned into a watery mess. It was gross. The jalitos (jalapeño poppers) had cream cheese in them. You bite into one, the pepper slides out and you're left with a mouth full of battered cream cheese. The salsa was good! It happened on every single one. Lastly, the lemon pepper wings were small and bland. They had a nice crisp but the seasoning didn't stick. The accompanying ranch was flavorless. It was okay but we won't be back. There are so many awesome places around Dahlonega to eat- this just isn't one of them.

Thank goodness they didn't add the 20% as mentioned on the menu because that was not worth it. The porch was nice, the food was good, but that service I don't think this will be on my list to return. They do offer GF Bread for their sandwiches. That's another plus. Your call!
