“Oh my, my my how it has changed since the last time I ate there. The service was waaaay more friendly than it was 3 maybe 4 yrs ago, maybe longer. I hadn't ate there in YEARS the man was so hateful & rude. Now tho, the food is so good I couldn't stop eating even when I got full & the atmosphere is way better. Little creepy cause it was almost like stepford wives cause they smiled so much and almost was to much , but I'd rather to much smiling over rudeness anyway. Definitely gonna start going bk“

“As a student who doesn't have a meal plan review.The food and selection is great and varies weekly. The price with a student discount is $10.50 for lunch.Also this Hall is open to public.I love the yogurt selection and occasionally the coffee selection.It does get busy during lunch however that's expected.Note: the bathroom is outside the dining area which means existing thru the metal rotating things, but if you ask they will let you in no need to pay again.I recommend this Hall, it's spacious and is a vibe with the amout of sunlight inside due to the massive windows.“

“The atmosphere was relaxed and the serivce was personable. The food on the other hand was a let down. The BBQ was delicious and flavorful but the mac n cheese and coleslaw had very little flavor. I got the pimento cheese dip and that also lacked flavor. My brother got the Barbarella and loved it.“

“So let's talk about the Butt Hutt!!!! Trivia is an amazing time!!!! So we will start there, great time and laid back atmosphere. The host is a good time and the wait staff if on point for how busy they get. Some of the other customers take it too seriously in my opinion, but other than the buzz kills in the crowd they have great drink deals and the food. Now that we have arrived at the food, it's time to sit down and have a talk..... *queue chefs kiss* this little gem we found! Normally BBQ is a HUGE let down. Literally everywhere. We were skeptical at first but since we arrived super early we decided to give them a shot and boy were we fat and happy about it. We started with the brisket, num num num. it was super tasty and flavor was on point. You didn't need sauce but if you got it, they were all on point, you won't be disappointed. We got onion rings for the side and it brought back memories of getting onion rings at the shore in Jersey. Idk if they were battered in beer but I sure was! Fast forward through a couple of pitchers of epic beer prices and we arrive at the pulled pork homemade potato chip plate appetizer meal thing (I don't remember the name but I sure remember the flavor cause my mouth is watering typing this!) y'all run, don't walk seriously RUN, to this establishment and if you don't do anything else today, you must get here and order this dish!!!! Idk if it is the beer talking or not, but smother that bad boy in the hot bbq sauce and float away into fat kid heaven. I did not care how messy it was, cause I was all in with no eff's given. I'm pretty sure I looked like my tween-age daughter that time I took her to Tuscaloosa to try dreamland bbq (which if you've never been there you better run that way too). I'm talking BBQ sauce all over my face lol. Seriously go support this business so great places like this don't go under!“

“I've been eating at Pulaski Heights for nearly a decade and it's easily my favorite restaurant in Athens. The staff is incredibly kind, caring, and hardworking. The historic Leathers Building is nestled in on the most "Athens" neighbors. Menu-wise, there are no misses. I've eaten everything on the menu and it's all spectacular. If it's your first time, try some of the pecans, deviled eggs, smoked cauliflower, and pulled pork. Don't sleep on the kool-aid, either. End your meal with some of their banana pudding. Each of Chuck's BBQ sauce brings something different but I'm a steadfast supporter of the vinegar based sauce. My favorite memory is the one time I saw cake on the specials menu. I still dream of that cake. Chuck and his team have built an institution on the tracks in Pulaski that has become the fabric of our community. As more and more chain BBQ restaurants open up, we as Athenians need to support great local businesses like Pulaski Heights.“
