Hands-down the "best" restaurant in Dahlonega. Yes, we've done the famous/historic Smith House and enjoyed the "atmosphere" there (and fried chicken) but wanted something w/a little class/elegance for our daughter's college graduation and a nice dinner w/the family prior to the ceremonies. Late lunch/early dinner before a 7PM graduation worked perfectly at THE CORKSCREW CAFE. I'd called ahead to reserve... More

Small cafe I'm glad to discover via trip advisor. My husband and I love to eat...we are closet foodies, but we definitely enjoyed our meal here. Our server, Sydney, was very efficient and we definitely appreciated the owner coming out to speak with us and get feedback. Great establishment, food, service a nd ambiance. Covered patio for spring and fall... More

Wines and service was outstanding. Their orange house dressing was a surprising treat. Most of our group of 10 got either the trout or special of grouper. One ordered the chicken and was crazy about her dish.

We went for lunch on a Saturday in March. The location is excellent-it is just a few steps off the Square. We were greeted by a very nice young man as we approached.

This restaurant was great. We ate outside in the back patio for dinner. Food was delicious. The staff is very attentive, polite and helpful. I had the special, my husband had the steak. If you're looking for a find, this is it. Out of the way, quaint, rustic, warm and cozy!

First time visit for lunch on saturday. Found the inside dining area small but cozy, the staff and owner VERY FRIENDLY. Great choices for lunch. I had 1/2 sandwich (Ruben) and soup (french onion) also came with veggie chips and portion of pasta salad...VERY VERY GOOD...very good portion size. Others in party had Ruben sandwich and a Club sandwich....full sandwiches... More

We stopped in for some lunch before heading out to the wineries in Dahlonega. It was good Friday, but they had a variety of meatless dishes that we all enjoyed! Their special of the day- shortrib sliders- sounded incredible and would have been my first pick! The cafe was pleasantly busy with the other tables mostly full. We all enjoyed... More

Friendly owner, nice service. The food was interesting and tasty. Portions were good size. The owner works hard to make his restaurant top-notch.
