We were wanting a really good pizza and we prefer the thinner crust with crispy edges. If it is cut into squares there’s bonus points. We came in hungry and were not disappointed by the flavor and portion sizes. Of course, we had to try the mozzarella sticks and the dipping sauce was excellent. We added side salads which were a unique twist with peppers and pico de gallo. The have lost of other choices ranging from wings, sandwiches, and tacos. I would have loved to have tried them all. It is a smaller space with outdoor seating but it was very cold and sitting outside was out of the question. They stay busy and they seemed a little behind service wise but otherwise it was a good trip.

Excellent pizza, ciders and service. Colby was so helpful and we absolutely LOVED the pizza he recommended. They have a bar and sitting inside or out for dining. This place was great! Good prices too. Highly recommend.

Three tacos $14. Chorizo was my favorite. I also got the pastor and chicken. All were great, but I’d order the chorizo and chicken again.
Service was quick on a Friday afternoon.

Absolutely outstanding place to eat and relax. The service is excellent and you can tell they genuinely care for the customer needs.
The food is, simply put, divine. I had a simple salad and it was probably the best I’ve ever had from a restaurant. My husband had 3 steak tacos and he raved about them and the two sauces that came with them. My daughters shared chicken nachos and they were also excellent.
The food came out in a timely manner with aesthetic appearance. Prices were spot on as well.
We will definitely visit here every visit to Dahlonega.

Stopped in with a coworker for a late lunch where I went straight into the tres leches cake. To put it simply, it was nothing short of phenomenal! This is a small cafe with a sweet treat of golden service. The spectacular hospitality and the sweet tea will have me coming back to this tavern again and again.

My mom and I have a goal to eat at every restaurant in the Dahlonega Square. Yesterday, we tried Nighthawk Tavern. I’m not a fan of greasy tavern food, but to my surprise, it wasn’t like that! I’m going to tell you a secret that only the locals know about regarding this place. Try it, and I promise you, you’ll thank me.
Here’s the story ~ The place two doors down from this restaurant is a pottery shop. The guy who owns it is a very eccentric, very nice, local celebrity type. He’s almost always sitting in the back of his shop molding a new pot or cup or whatever. It’s fun to watch. It always reminds me of that movie “Ghost” from 1990.
Anywho, he walks down to Nighthawk Tavern all the time for lunch. They have something on the menu called “fried avocado tacos,” and he has them make those his own special way. He swears that they are to live for!
We tried them yesterday, and he was right. They were freaking DELICIOUS! His custom tacos aren’t on the menu, so you have to order them special. Just ask them to slice fresh avocados, and don’t fry them. Just leave them on the tacos fresh, and keep all the other components of the taco the same.
Or, to make it even easier, you can just tell them that you’d like to order the avocado tacos like the pottery guy orders them. They’ll know exactly what you mean (I guess a lot of people take his advice and order them that way).
In my picture below, there are two baja shrimp tacos (also very good) and one avocado taco (the best!!!). The service was great also. The servers there are likely college students. This place gets a thumbs up from us. Thank you and we’ll definitely be back!

So glad we stopped in for lunch! First of all, service was top notch. Second, every single thing we had to drink and eat was incredible. We had the salsa and queso dip to start. Some of the best, freshest salsa I’ve had in a long time – it appeared they made it in house, but if not it sure fooled me! I had the fried avocado tacos on corn tortillas and added shrimp – delicious! My husband got Kevin’s sweet and spicy pizza and loved it. I had a piece and the crust was super crispy and the hot honey is such a great addition. We would easily make the 1.5 hour drive up to Dahlonega to eat here again sooner rather than later!

The food was amazing. Chips and queso was fantastic. The chips are the “Chili’s thin chips” and were perfect. The BBQ chicken pizza was perfection! Eating outside while able to people watch and seeing the sights of the square was cool. The servers were extremely polite, checking in regularly and very responsive. 11 out of 10!

Great place in downtown. Food was really good. Highlight is that they have original Mexican Coca-Cola in the glass bottle, it tasted just like Mexico. Southwester quesadilla was amazing and a really generous portion. They have kids menu if you ask for it. Great vibes. Waitress was very attentive. We got a table as soon as we walked in even on the lunch rush. Worth it give it a try. We will be going back.

Decided to give this restaurant a try for lunch based on the reviews. They had some great drinks selections and a pizza special that came with a drink and the most incredible fried avocado tacos. We were very pleased with the food and service. Excellent job on everything!
