Lil Mazzara's 102 Washington St E, Athens Italian • $$

“I do not usually make a review, but I felt the need to after our experience today. My 4 year old son and I went in for lunch today. He wanted the burger but not a “fancy” burger. He’s a cheese, pickles, and mustard kind of guy. I asked our waitress if they had those products and she said she thought they might. A gentleman, who I am assuming is either the manager or the owner, stopped by a couple times to engage with my son. Then he brought us our food and mentioned he ran to the store just for mustard for his burger. I didn’t not expect them to do that, but that gesture goes a long way for a business who relies on good customer service to retain repeat customers. I live 1.5 hours away, but visit about twice a month to check in on a business I own in the area. We will definitely be back 💕”

Cafe 72 12250 US-72, Athens American • $

“I picked up lunch here for the fam. Mom passed away on the 9th. We were all at her house going through her things and everyone was hungry. I wanted to buy local food instead of going to a big chain and Cafe 72 was close by, so Cafe 72 it was.
I called the order in for pickup and the voice on the other end was so polite and helpful. Not to mention it was a big order and we got everything we asked for.
The bacon cheeseburgers are big and delicious! May, lettuce, tomato ,bacon and cheese of course. The buns are heated on the grill which, to me, sets the whole burger off. We ordered three of those. My wife, my nieces boyfriend and I ordered them.
The crispitos are big and packed with beef. My little sister and brother-in-law ordered those. We asked for a side of cheese and sour cream and we got it.
My niece got the BLT with a side of mayo and her little boy got the kids corndog meal. He ate it up, too ?
The atmosphere was welcoming and as I looked around the dining room I saw some veterans sitting around eating, which I loved seeing. It gave me the feeling that this place is appreciative, thankful and respectful of our great country's veterans.
Cafe 72 has great food y'all. I didn't get any pictures this time, sorry. Go by and eat there. From looking at the online menu they have a lot of great food to choose from.
This order came out to around $47...to feed 7 people! You will not go to the big chain restaurants and feed that many people with such a small bill. I was amazed at this and I am so glad we chose Cafe 72 for lunch that day.”

The fish was cooked perfectly and the sides were fantastic. The hush puppies were moist and hot. Paired them with a large sweet tea and I had a marvelous dinner.

The staff was super kind and very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it definitely helped quell my seafood craving. I would give it a ten star rating if that was possible. Enjoy!”

Ramona J’s 1212 US-31, Athens Restaurant • $

“My son and I stopped by the Hwy 31 location for lunch. I ordered the small catfish meal. It comes with fries which I exchanged for turnips and Cornbread. The catfish was cooked to perfection and the fresh turnips were spot on turnips. The Cornbread muffin was light and fluffy. The meal was a great value and made my tastebuds happy. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Ramona J's to anyone who wants great food for a great price. Go ahead and tantalize your tastebuds.”

“We eat here quite often, love the bacon wrapped shrimp most. This could be the best if TV’s were removed, a little more decorations a d low lighting. We still go, wait staff is always top notch. We will be back.”

McDonald's 103 US-31, Athens Fast Food • $

“I ordered a Big Mac Meal only to get all the way across town to a Little Mac. No pickles, no lettuce, no meat. Came back got another one in exchange only to have a worse one. I want my money back but now the are closed. The meat was only about a 50 cent piece and thin as paper. Horrible experience”

“I go to Popeyes pretty regular. Normally they do an amazing job and the food is mostly always on point. The last two times though I've had an issue. The first time was I got red beans and rice for a side, the red beans seemed like they were not done all the way, which is weird cuz I used to work for Popeyes and they come in pre-made you just heat the bag up. In this last time I got a three-piece chicken tenders and one of the tenders was almost completely gristle.....very gross. I will be back, but it will be a while.”

Wendy's 1603 US-72, Athens Fast Food • $

“Went to Wendy’s tonight around 9pm. I ordered a #9. Simple as could be. You would think? I got my order and the burger seemed small to be a the Bourbon Bacon Burger. I checked it and it was pathetic. I have never had anything negative to say about Wendy’s, but tonight was not a great experience. The burger didn’t have all of the ingredients on it and it only had one tiny piece of bacon. It was literally a patty, a slice of cheese, and a tiny piece of bacon. The bun was hard around the edges as if it had been sitting under a warmer all day. I circled back around to return the food, but I had already been sitting in the drive thru for what seemed like an hour to order anyway. I was tired and hungry and ready to go home. I tried calling the store to voice my disappointment but I didn’t get an answer. So I am resorting to an online review. I don’t typically make complaints on food orders, but to pay $10 for a burger that was beyond pathetic was very disappointing and then I didn’t even get a receipt for my order either so I have no proof of my order. I’m sorry to say It was a very pitiful experience. I ended up going to a different restaurant to order a meal.”

“Food was good and served hot, but they messed up on a few orders. They don't serve anything overly special, but their menu has a little of everything. They also serve breakfast all day which is great. The place is extremely family friendly so grab the kids and get some comfort food.”

Taco Bell 1112 Jefferson St SE, Athens Fast Food • $

“This whole new ordering system is a joke, the employees don't even bother to come check the counter from time to time, had a line but wasn't slammed. I'm guessing this employee was a opener, they were packing up their stuff getting ready to clock all, so the while texting and chatting with other employees, didn't even bother to check on the mini crowd that's forming. Keys a lotion bottle on what seemed to be a prep table. There was Employees arguing about who took the others chalupa shells, attitudes from other Employees were on display, I get that things get hectic but you have to keep a poker face especially when there's no barrier from the front to the kitchen. One employee got so stressed to the point they walked out mid fixing orders just to have a moment. Another worker getting ill at the others terrible attitudes they're going off trying to get them in order. Dropping a few curse words here and there. Hair nets seem to be option , drink station looked terrible.”
