We got the chips and salsa and the salsa is amazing. Also got the Ditka pizza and the avocado tacos. This was some of the best food I have had in a long time. Server was friendly and took good care of us. I highly recommend this place absolutely delicious.

The server was nice and brought our food quickly. My husband and I shared the buffalo chicken tenders with fries. The chicken tenders were just frozen tenders with some sauce on them. We ordered the mild sauce and it had very little flavor to it. The fries were very tasty. We also ordered the chips and queso, and we were very pleased with the cheese, the salsa and the chips.

Service was ok. Food was not. I had the Southwest quesadilla, and it was flavorless. It was like something a teenager would throw together as an after-school snack. To be honest, Taco Bell is 100 times better. My husband got the wings which were so-so. The blue cheese was watery so he asked for ranch, which was equally as watery. When I say “watery”, I mean it looked like colored water. Very disappointed. Won’t be back.

Can’t beat this place. The Kevin’s sweet and spicy pizza is such a great menu item. The hot honey drizzle on top is to die for!!! I’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Five stars! Sarah and Leah and the best!

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!

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! 🌮🌮🌮
