The Crimson Moon Cafe

I love the food, but the music is always WAY to loud for me (and I went to Woodstock, too). The service is always good, but make a reservation if you want to be certain to have a place to sit for a live music show (but bring the earplugs).

Had breakfast here on Saturday morning. Really not much to say other than I was glad when the meal was over. The food was plain, blah, tasteless. the biscuit was so hard, my family who states I am too tough encouraged me to send it back. Overall a horrid experience and it will not be repeated because I will never return. Simply the worst dining experience I have ever had in Dahlonega. Heck, even Spirits Tavern, which I think is disgusting, is better than this place.

Crimson moon was good. The service was great, and it was quiet (which is surprising for a Sunday morning!). I’m sure at night it is very loud due to the live music and upstairs balcony. The ambiance is nice as well. I ordered the gold miner with scrambled eggs sausage grits and biscuit. Everything was delicious except for the cheese grits. I love grits and these were a disappointment due to a different cheese being used I think. They had a taste I wasn’t expecting I’m sure others would appreciate these but I just didn’t. Overall, I recommend this place.

My hubby had a bad start to the day by going to The Bakery Café (misadvertised food, bad service), so when I awoke we went to The Crimson Moon and it was GREAT. Nice variety of brunch foods, the Bible Belt sandwich was delicious, the cheese grits were phenomenal, and a Snickers latte was a heavenly treat to awaken to. Charles was fabulous — attentive, polite, efficient. This was not only wonderful of its own accord, but a delightful repair for my hubby’s morning. We’ll be back.

HOLY COW THE TALENT IN NORTH GEORGIA. We went to an open mic and had so much fun. The food was delicious as well as the hot tea. We had a nice little server and will be returning.

We came here very hungry and a little tipsy after visiting a local vineyard. The place was pretty empty and there was live music going on at the time. We were seated pretty front and center to the stage and I was afraid it was going to detract from the meal. I was so wrong. The performer was AWESOME. (At two in the afternoon I had low hopes) The menu offered a few options for vegetarians; the miner’s salad with hummus (amazing) and sesame ginger dressing perfectly hit the spot. My boyfriend had the fried green tomatoes which he also enjoyed. The service was quick and polite. We could not have picked a better option for a quick lunch in Dahlonega.

The minute we walked in, the hostess told us a 15 minute wait and then seated a family of 4 who walked in right after us. And the meatloaf sandwich gave me the worst stomach ache ever. It had the consistency of Chef Boyardee meat. Definitely not worth even the short wait.

All of us had terrific sandwiches. Service was good and on time. I had the Bible Belt sandwich. Would highly recommend.

Had an outstanding lunch today! Great French Toast and Chicken Club Sandwich… Server was excellent as well. Friendly, attentive and very personable. Several people came in for tickets to tonight’s show. Wish we could go. We will definitely be back!

Timely service, good burrito with hot sauce and fluffy eggs. Sweet tea was very sweet. My friend ordered the burrito also, only without bacon, and she had no bacon flavor so clearly they individually cooked them. Very cute host.

Just not a good experience from the start. We entered the establishment with two tables seated. We were asked if we had a reservation (WTH?). Which we obviously did not. The host acted like we gave him a math question to solve. He told us that the downstairs was reserved for the live music which was an hour from starting. Again two seated tables in the entire place. He told us we could go to the bar area upstairs and be served there which we did.
Place was wicked cramped not with people but in size. We placed our order and after about 40 minutes we complained.
Food came as we were about to get up and leave. Food was mediocre at best and service was far beyond bad. She did comp one meal and discount the other two by 20%.
As I sat there reading the other Unilocal reviews I saw exactly what everyone else was saying. Save your TIME and money and go elsewhere anywhere else. It’s just bad all around.

I just sat down with my girlfriend and a friend to have a drink during the 4^th of july, so I haven’t tried the food. The atmosphere is really neat though, and being able to sit on a balcony overlooking the square is awesome. However, two things bothered me:
For one, they did not accept Discover card. Which basically says they do not want to pay extra fees to accomodate the customer. Secondly, they had a pricing error and the server said that she «didn’t know how to fix it, so she couldn’t help me.» I purchased a beer on draft for $ 4, but they charged me $ 5. I asked the waitress, but she just looked dumbfounded and said she couldn’t change it. Pretty pathetic service. Not sure if I’d go back.

Hippie-​homestyle restaurant and quirky venue in the Georgia foothills. They’ve got comfortable American fare with a Southern feel – burgers and salads and pasta and wraps, none award-​wining but all solid. The reason to go is the great listening room with an intimate stage, all wood walls and sound man Rob who’s also a stained glass artist… all together worth the drive from Atlanta to see a show.

Beautiful day and nice ride to Dahlonega. Came across this place and sat on the balcony overlooking the square.
I had a Jekyll IPA and my wife had a glass of wine. I ordered the chicken wrap and she ordered the grilled cheese. We both added sweet potato waffle fries to the order.
The food was very good as were the drinks.
The place was not crowded and it took at least 30 minutes to get our food, but it was a nice day.
When the check came I whipped out my AMEX card and the waitress politely told us that they do not take them. Really? From what I understand the owner does not want to take them. That is crazy as they are missing out on business. Oh well, not my problem.
Why only 3 stars? Food and service was good. Easily could have been 4 stars but not accepting a major credit card is a fail.

We went at 1:00 on a Saturday. We were told there would be a 20 minute wait which was not an issue because we were waiting for the rest of our party (total of 5). The wait was over 30 minutes. Our server was rude. We had to ask for refills. The food, when it finally came out (at least another 30 minutes) was just ok. They even ran out of mac and cheese… They were very understaffed for a Saturday afternoon. I will say I liked the atmosphere. The live music was good but we will not be back.

Slow Service, expensive Food, the Worst BBQ I’ve ever had! This place had it all! Everything we ordered was the price of your average meal at any restaurant, but with week old meat and very lukewarm aides. The waiter was very kind though and gave me a complimentary side of grilled cheese. Overall not a good place for a Sunday dinner.

The service was very slow. The burger I got was not seasoned. If I had the choice to pay $ 12.84 or not eat dinner for the night. I would enjoy my hunger more than that crappy experience I had at this place. Usually I always tip because I have worked as a server before and know exactly how rough it is. But are server looked like he was on drugs.

Dropped in for a few burgers. Service very slow, patties preformed (aka bubba burgers), not value for money.
Killer for me was flys in the serving area, not cool. I did not check the health rating but now I wonder in retrospect. Could be fine but suggest you do.

Great lunch with great live soft music! A must stop. Try the meatloaf and Swiss sandwich with real homemade fries.

I visited The Crimson Moon Café this past Saturday with a group of 8 friends the morning after a wedding.
It wasn’t too busy when we walked in so we were pumped to get a table. The menu had lots of choices so that suited our group well. The one complaint about the table was the air conditioner vent underneath the BFs chair… he was freezing!
We all ordered and then proceeded to wait quite awhile for the food to come out but were a party of 8 so I kind of expected that. The one kind of weird thing — on the menu you can choose a large or small coffee, latte, hot chocolate, etc. When they bring them out our waitress told us — well none of the cups are the same size, they are all different but I can give you refills… kind of strange since they have two distinct sizes on the menu. oh well.
I ordered the fruit and homemade granola with a side of bacon crispy. Well the bacon wasn’t crispy but that granola… holy hell was that tasty. Probably the best granola I have ever had. I could have eaten it all if I wasn’t feeling so crappy from the night before! I also should mention that this was my first experience eating grits… it was not good. They were flavorless mush. At least the grits I had with dinner that night elsewhere were amazing.
