    “The service could have been better. I mean I know waitresses there work for tips. However, mine would get a bigger tip if she wouldn't flirt with the man at the table. We are there to eat. And obviously he isn't interested if he isn't looking at you. So don't make it a point to touch, rub and ask if he is ok. Like I have kidnapped him....lol.. or I am not even there...damn!!!”

He was very friendly along with the other staff. Establishment was clean. Didn't wait long for food, everything came out hot and how we ordered it. Staff was very engaging and accommodated our 1.5 year old very well. I travel alot for youth sports and I always eat at a waffle house wherever I'm at and this is by far the best one I've dined at.”

Food was hot and prepared well. But could use a little more seasoning. I'm cautious In my rating because most restaurants in the area are mediocre because that's what people like. Any form of actual spice or seasoning and social media will be in an uproar. You really can't win! So,,,,,, i do recommend with the caveat that you should be prepared to season yourself. I have learned over the years that any restaurant that cooks actual food That is well seasoned and prepared properly. Will they eventually go out of business. What's left is what people will support! When all you support is bland food, don't be surprised you're getting bland food!”

I can never wait until I get home to eat one…I drive into the parking lot and devour it! They are not only delicious and filling, but very healthy.

    “This Particular McDonald’s is home to me. Always has been and always will be. I started at this McDonald’s on Hwy 31 in Athens as a Crew member back in 2012, when I was just 16 years old. I worked very hard the four years I was there eventually I got the opportunity to become a Kitchen Department Manager for the McDonald’s company at a different location. So I decided to leave for more money of course. It’s been 14 years since the day I started. I recently about a month ago came back to work there at Hwy 31 Athens Location. And A lot has changed some for the better some for the worse. I do like that they finally remodeled the store. It was needing a makeover. lol🤣 But mostly the only thing that’s changed is the people, it’s all new people, new faces, new strangers to get to know. Policies and procedures has gotten more light. But honestly I’ve seen what the post pandemic can do on a struggling business. I’ve seen good people/businesses having to close there doors cause they can’t handle the finances no more. But that’s not the case at this particular McDonald’s. Athens, AL has always been a town I love cause I spent 20 years of my life here. The customers support is unbelievable here! I’ve never seen a McDonald’s flourish like this one has in just ten years I’ve been away! Of course we have our problems like all businesses no one is perfect. But I do wanna warn the loving customers that we are very short staff right now. So please bare with us, especially at night. If y’all know anyone looking for a job, please send them our way we would love to have anyone on our team! I love working with just about anybody! Like I said before just be patient with us for right now. We will soon get back to being the top store in the region again I have faith! Just gotta stay positive through the storm. 😊 We do truly appreciate your support of our Company though. We love all of y’all! God Bless Y’all!”

    “Wow you have to stop here at THIS IHOP! The food was so good compared to our IHOP back home! It came out quick too! Good 80s music playing as well. Clean inside. I wish the cook could be cooking at my local IHOP at home. The ingredients were fresh! The wife even commented on how tasty here breakfast was and the tomato was toasted and it really brings out the flavor. The spicy poblano was so good, fresh hot serrano peppers and the guacamole was so fresh. Please do stop!”

    “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.”

    “My wife and I love wings, but have never tried Wingstop before. Usually don’t do boneless wings and prefer bone-in, but they had a 20 pc deal on boneless so we gave it a shot. Best boneless wings I’ve ever had. Got the mango habanero, Hawaiian, garlic parm, and hot honey bbq with ranch. Voodoo fries to go with. I’ve never been so fat and happy in my life. Best boneless wings I’ve ever had. I usually don’t like ranch, but theirs was awesome. Ordered online around 5:30 on a Friday and was ready in 10 minutes with a ton of other to-go orders waiting to be picked up. Great stuff and highly recommend.”
