“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner on a Friday evening in September 2024 and cannot thank Leah enough for a great job. She is very easy to work with in choosing a menu and accommodating food preferences and allergies. The entire restaurant was ours and food was delicious. Family style dining made the atmosphere casual and comfortable, which is just what we wanted. Overall a perfect experience and we highly recommend her place!“

“Yesterday we were in Dahlonega , GA . So was everybody else . Autumn in the mountains …
The parking situation was pretty dismal around the square making it impossible to visit out usual haunts , and while cutting through the college campus to go to the other side of town we “ discovered “ a college haunt , Johnny B’s Pizza .
It had a lived in look, sprawling in an old building that was once a multi-storefront , now completely taken over by Johnny B’s.
They had a bar , several dining rooms , a patio and a screened in porch .
The pizza was Chicago thin , and pretty good . The cheese was not greasy , which means it’s good cheese, the pepperoni was a little bland , but not bad . My only complaint is I ordered extra cheese and heavy sauce and I think the server got confused and thought I said light sauce . The sauce that was there was pretty good .
We had mozzarella sticks , they were hand battered . The pizza was tasty , and the wings were voted the best in town 6 years running by the local newspaper readership - my wife confirms that they are in fact , the best around , and she is a wing -nut !

Will be going back !“

“My husband and I had dinner here with my in-laws last night. We originally went upstairs to the bar area, and almost decided against staying. It was loud and the temp was pretty hot. The hostess mentioned that there was also seating downstairs. We were so glad we decided to go downstairs. The dining room was so spacious and cool. It was such a cool atmosphere. The service was great, too! Now to the best part. The food. Oh my goodness!! I don’t think any review can do justice for the food we had. We started with the Crawfish Dip appetizer, which came with homemade pita tortilla chips. It was amazing! Then our main dishes showed up and, Y’ALL!!!! The food was out of this world! My husband and mother-in-law ordered the Seafood Platter. It was the freshest seafood, with the lightest batter. Crawfish, oysters, mahi, crab puppies (literally mini crab cake balls) and fries. It was incredible. My father-in-law ordered the Muffaletta Sandwich with roasted sweet potatoes. Those sweet potatoes were chef’s kiss 🤌🏻😘 I ordered the Crab Cakes & Shrimp. It was the most delicious meal I’ve ever eaten. Two huge crab cakes topped with grilled shrimp, served over top a bed of Bourbon Street rice, blended with colored bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach sautéed in homemade Alfredo sauce. I can’t even describe the flavor profile. My tongue was in euphoria! Bourbon Street Grille is a MUST TRY when you visit Dahlonega. The prices were fair, the portion sizes were large, and the atmosphere was great.“
