“10/27/22 I just ordered a Chef's salad from Mike's on Tillman Mill Road. This salad was so good, clean, fresh, well made and packed! It was well worth the price of $8.29 and really hit the spot for me. It is packed with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cheese, purple cabbage, cucumbers, eggs, onions and I asked for the grilled ham with it. This is now going to be my go-to place for a great salad. The service is excellent too, they really seem to have a servant's heart. I highly recommend Mike's and if you haven't been by, you are missing a treat!“

“What an incredible find!! The food was amazing and the folks were exceptional!! Excellent service!!“

“They know me by name and have my tea for me sometimes even before I sit down. Brenda knows my order and asks if I want it the same doesn't even need to bring me a menu. I see the folks I went to school with here and even my 9th grade math teacher. This place is like home!“

“good food fast service very friendly.“

“😀 Absolutely Amazing Food!!!“

“Suzanne’s Bakery is a local gem! Everything is baked with love, and the flavors are always amazing. Whether it’s for an event, client gift, or just because—it’s one of our favorite places to stop in Athens!“

“Food was pretty good. Its home cooked southern cooking, a nice break from the norm. I believe the menu is posted on facebook daily. Catering or take out only.I got a entree and can drink. My can drink tasted funny...I Iooked at the bottom and it expired june 2019. Its july 2020.“

“went july 3 for breakfast. the food was delicious. the server, who was the only server at the time, was terrific. she had a great attitude. can't wait to go back!“

“Catfish Cabin is locally owned and they have the best food in Athens and the reason they run out of fish is because they stay buzy all time and if u haven't ever worked in fast food then u don't know what the workers there go through they try there best to please everyone that comes in but thats impossible and if ur short staffed like everyone is now you got to wait I don't see no body leaving the lines at Burger King r mickie d love the food there and there workers r amazing .Catfish Cabin gets 5 stars plus“

“Gotta give them props! I eat out a lot & not very many places can get 5 stars on the food, the service, & the atmosphere but, Captian D's got it on all 3. We went inside to set down & eat. Ordered food, waited not even 5 minutes & got our food. We (2 people) got the family pack (10 pcs of fish with 2 sides of choice & hush puppies). Got fries & corn on the cob for the sides. It was a whole foam container of fries & 4, 5 inch pcs of corn on the cob. It was $39.39 which ins't bad for that amount of food. We both got full & had some to take home for under $40. The service was top notch which is hard to find anymore. Overall we were impressed. Highly recommended for sure!!“

“A lot more food served than I expected! It was very good and we had leftovers enough for another meal. Our waittress was very sweet. The music was set to classic 80s pop and soft rock. This is a weird thing to review perhaps, but the bathroom smelled amazing with some kind of cinnamon potpourri stuff.“

“Visited this establishment June 7th 2026 around 11:45am. Greeted at the door by the manager I'm assuming since he had a different shirt then the rest of the staff. 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.“

“Best Logan’s in the area. I had the best experience at this location then I have in a long time“
