“10/20/2025. After my visit to the eye doctor we treated ourselves to the South Kitchen. Our waitress was very pleasant and poised. We had a hamburger (cooked perfectly - 5 Stars) and a Fried Green Tomato Sandwich which was delicious - 5 Stars). Beautiful building. Hope you enjoy my pictures. Very relaxing place to go. Hope you will give them a try!“

“This place is amazing! Wonderful service. The food is delicious and the presentation is a work of art!“

“Very tasty vegan options!“

“I placed a large order for pickup and had issues with the order going through. I reached out via email and got a very quick response from Michael. He spent alot of time and effort trying to help me. I was able to pickup the order yesterday with no issues, the food was delicious, service was super friendly. I have already recommended to a few friends in the Athens area. This is a great location if you have food restrictions like vegan, keto or gluten. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy! I had the Dirty Bird with the sausage gravy on the side“

“It is Locos! It is consistent with what you would get at their establishments. I quite enjoy their burger. Decent deal and yes it really does appear to be from scratch.

Wings are hit and miss sometimes. I like them super crispy. Always ask and sometimes they still are too limp . They need to always provide more celery and why no carrots?

Need more local beer options from Athens and GA. Keep promoting. Also include some fancier drafts.

The vibe? Some wait staff are attentive and sweet. People who go can get chatty and loud. Usually though it is welcoming.

I miss the one by campus. Felt local and not as commercialized. That was long ago though.

“Last night was our first time eating there and it was a fabulous experience! Food was delicious, atmosphere was unique and pleasant, and service was phenomenal. Morgan, our server, was amazing!“

“Came in for a little brekkie while on spring break with my kiddo. Absolute gem. We were greeted by the warmest, most genuine “good morning!!!” From what I am assuming to be one of the managers. Set the tone immediately. Aesthetically it was adorable, food was delicious and tasted real… not like the chain restaurants. Menu had little quips and fun food facts which really invites you in. Devon our server was fabulous, easy going, not rushing around. Definite must try in Athens!“
