“I've had dinner twice at the Paducah, KY location and it has been great. The food is fresh and delicious, portions are generous, and prices are fair. The complimentary chips and salsa bar is also a nice touch. The restaurant is also clean, and staff are friendly. I'm looking forward to eating here again.“

“It’s a pretty generic Mexican restaurant. I appreciate the music isn’t as loud here as it is at some places, but as a blind customer, I had the usual issues with no accessible menu and regretting my Spanish wasn’t good enough to make up for my inability to See the weight staff trying to make eye contact with me to indicate it’s my turn to place my order. The food is good, the staff are polite, the place was clean, there’s just nothing special about it. My husband would insist I put in a good word about their salsa, though. He says it’s his favorite restaurant salsa.“

Old Black Bear Brewing Athens Brewery •

“worked here before, you will wait over a hour for your food in busy times and the manager wont do anything for you unless the server specifically asks. for a comp. Tiffany will also lie to customers even when they complain about the temperature. the owner sets the temperature to 74, and no one can turn it down. but tiffaby will lie to customers saying she will. and will ask servers to lie for her.. not only that the kitchen often makes tables out of order. you can have tables get their food, and a older table is still waiting. when a situation like this happens good luck finding a manager like Tiffany to help you. she's off taking her breaks during busy times. also managers never give feedback or actually train people. I've literally had to ask managers for drinks because there were no bartenders and the manager takes so long to make the drink, I'm having customer rushing over to the bar to see what's going on. and get mad at me because a manager refuses to do their job right.“

“I wanted to stop by and give a huge shout out to SAM!!! He is the manager and this Chipotle, Athens location.
The service he provides is top notch and deserves all the recognition. It is an experience and just goes to show (customer) service is EVERYTHING ❣️❣️
He doesn't just provide exceptional service, he goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy and satisfied.
I would go out of my way to make it to this location just for the vibes!

Thank you Sam and the Chipotle team for showing that kindness and compassion is still possible in these tough times we live in. God bless🤍“
