6 Best New Restaurants in Athens

“The meats are absolutely as good or better than the fancy Brazilian Steakhouses in Atlanta, and the selection is huge. The salad bar was adequate, but I didn't go in with the expectation of seeing an exotic market table. The meats were cooked with coal, not gas, making them so much better. The owner did stop by our table during the visit to make sure everything was good. I will definitely go again.“

“I have been to Athens for 7 months now and I see a lot of bars here until I stubble upon Paris Banh Mi. This Cafe may have the best coffee Athens has to offer. I been coming here almost daily for their Milk Coffee and most importantly one of my favorite dish the Vietnamese Broken Rice Bowl. Definitely the spot to go to after hitting the gym.Get this they have Vietnamese snacks very exotic I highly recommend to try it out you guys won’t regret it!!!!Kid-friendliness: Zero Alcohol in this location highly recommend “

“Good spot for a quick sandwich. Atmosphere is a bit edgy, but easy to ignore if you want to. I got the Power Plant sub, it was tasty but a bit overfilled topping-wise. I wasn’t expecting the hummus and guacamole mix to work, but it did. I decided to go the 2 open faced sandwich route and it worked well, if a bit messy. Entertaining trivia challenge going on on the TV. I do wish there were more veggie sandwich options without portobello mushrooms as the main protein.“

“This was my first experience here and it was better than I expected! At first we went to Taco Mama but quickly left because we wanted a sit down place with a good Michelada. The food was probably some of the best I’ve had—the michelada was HUGE and came with shrimp + tajin cucumbers (so good!!) and our waiter told us it was his first day—he did amazing! We came around lunchtime on a Saturday and surprisingly it wasn’t that busy. Super cute decor, and had great music as well! 10/10 recommend for a chill place with amazing food and good drinks!“

“Food 1000/10As a Texan I am shocked to find bbq this good. Wing and brisket are to die for. Sauces beyond amazing. Wings crispy and juicy.Place looks brand new, but I felt like the music was a little too loud. Other than that perfect for a date or small group. A little bit aggressive having signs for order before sitting, but it is probably helpful during rush times.Service is friendly albeit a little slow. Food came fast and that's wonderful.It would be nice to have a half portion option for the nachos. They were a little pricey but came with a huge tray. Definitely too large for just one person. Even two is a bit of a stretch.And they got that good sonic-like ice.Parking: Good job“

“Very cute setup and super sweet server. The ambiance was superb. The burger and steak were excellent. The only issue we had was cold potatoes and scallops that weren't cooked well. All in all, we loved it and would most definitely come back.“
