40 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Athens

“Delicious food- the pimento cheese/bacon jam starter is AMAZING. The service was great too- we had a large group and they were so welcoming and kind!“

“It has been several years since I have been to Porterhouse, and what an incredible experience it was! Anthony (GM and Head-Chef) has really turned that place around!

It was a full restaurant on a Friday evening, and the atmosphere had a great vibe. Happy conversations and clinking of silverware could be heard throughout the dining room. The staff and service was awesome! They were very polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all, had a sense of urgency. Everyone was hustling!

And the food...good gracious. That was hands-down the BEST steak I have ever had from a restaurant, ever! Although the price tags might be a bit steep upon first glance, the whole dining experience was well-worth it. After 15 years of my own experience in food-service, I don't say this lightly!

Porterhouse is reclaiming it's stand as a fine-dining restaurant, and my family and I will definitely be going back!“

“Stopped by today and had great drinks and conversation with bartender Joselyn. Fantastic atmosphere, great quality kava and kratom. Highly reccommend to anyone.“

“We ate at the Trappeze Pub on a Monday evening. We didn't have to wait to be seated and they were accommodating towards our seating preference. Our server, Alivia, was warm, polite, and attentive. She quickly brought us some refreshing water and took our drink order. I got the sweet tea and my husband ordered a non-alcoholic mojito. The tea was very good and my husband seemed to enjoy his drink too. For dinner, we ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich, a Sesame Ramen salad, and the Belgian fries. It was very fresh, flavorful, and quick to arrive. Their house made ranch is fantastic, and the garlic aioli was pretty tasty too. We'd happily recommend either to anyone. Before leaving, we got a piece of their carrot cake which was more than enough for us both. Their servings were generous and when the check came, we were surprised at how great of a value we got for the portions. We look forward to visiting again soon. Thanks, Trappeze Pub!“

“Absolutely great service and the best food!! I had the Mexican Burger and I have to say that it was the BEST burger I have ever eaten! 💕“

“good food and great atmosphere.“

“Exceptional beer. Mostly IPAs but a handful of other styles. They have home made alcohol accommodations for friends who are not beer lovers. They even mix their beers with oj for mimosa like libations. Large amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Music at times. Food trucks at others“

“Great service. Great atmosphere. The food was lacking. Biscuit was overly salty. Sausages were cold in the center. Eggs were not seasoned (which is fine, you’d just have to ask for salt a pepper). The duck taters were good but greasy, but deliciosu. Would come back again, but would order something else.“

“Not 1, not 2, but 3 delicious salsas! Had a taco salad with chicken and it was the best I've ever had!!! Everything tasted fresh. I highly recommend!“

“I attended their Crawfish Festival today. From the day I bought my ticket to spending the day with them today Chris and his staff did an excellent job. I felt like family amongst them. You could tell that all staff really enjoyed what they were doing today. I will be back sometime soon to try the BBQ.“

“Hey there! We highly recommend you check out this amazing coffee place. The food is great, with a variety of delicious options, and the service is fantastic! The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., making it the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. You won't be disappointed!“

“Had the Jade Jubilee and Georgia Sunset. My husband had the spirit flight and the World's Driest Martini. Everything was delicious! I'm a rum drinker and he is a gin guy- we were well satisfied with the drinks and amazing service! They also have vodka drinks as well. The charcuterie is delicious also. Shout-out to Kevin for his Jade Jubilee creation and great hospitality. Will definitely be back to try more cocktails!“

“Dirty chai was awesome. Never had one before. Peeps behind the counter were great!“

“The coffee was tasty and so was the chocolate croissant! Service was speedy!“

“Good vibe to the bar! Staff is always friendly and patrons are nice to!!!“

“Anyone that hasn’t checked catch out yet absolutely should. Great food, Great Atmosphere and Great drinks.. Highly Recommend“

“Our first time here today highly recommend fast & friendly service food was amazing we will be back soon They recommended you to make reservations which is fine with us thanks“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, and great outdoor seating! Will definitely be returning!“

“I work nights and happen to oversleep. I arrived at Jinya 8 minutes before they closed. The staff was amazing, they graciously prepared two orders of Tonktsu Black to go. I apologized profusely for the inconvenience, I understood that they were closing but there was nothing in the area still open serving food. I just wanted to thank them publicly.“

“The food and service were fantastic! The coffee wasn’t the best, but that isn’t what I went for. The staff is TOP NOTCH! Don’t go by the online menu though; it is completely outdated! I read the menu link on trip advisor when choosing the restaurant and it was very misleading. All in all a 10 out of 10 experience! Would go again!“

“They always have the best coffee!“

“This place is doomed to fail. Ordered takeout and noticed the health rating as wife left with food. A glorious 85! Needless to say, food was tossed in the garbage and we will never return. This was our third attempt to give them a chance. Horrible service on first try. Horrible food on the second try and abysmal health rating on the third try. Done and done.“

“Nice brewery! Had two beers while here; a lager and a hazy IPA: both were solid for their style. Arrived during a Dawgs game, and still found a spot despite it being the season opener. There’s a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, and the space itself feels more like a sports bar than a brewery. I have some friends who dislike this place so I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the beer. The line is also well managed and moves quickly even when there’s a good amount of customers in line. I wouldn’t say it’s worth visiting by itself but if you’re in Athens it’s worth checking out.“

“Cool Bar Vibe…. Between this and the Root… best…! 👏👏“

“Just normal, not showy, no Aires, just pleasant and simple. Great for a first date“

“Wide variety of craft beer choices, and we enjoyed all that we sampled. Food was tasty with a number of options. Service (Ken) was top notch! We will be back on our next visit to Athens!“

“Admittedly, I was a huge fan of Transmet, so when it went OOB I was disappointed. While I will always miss their pizza... Starland Lounge came through with an awesome alternative and something different and better than all the other bars in Athens. Highly recommend Starland, go check it out!“

“I always have a wonderful experience going to JJ’s. Nice staff the best coffee and prices are good.“

“Awesome environment and great bands“

“Solid brewery! Ample seating in a nice clean space. The staff is friendly and the restrooms are clean. The live music for tonight was great! There were only a few of us inside but they were a fun bunch. Good amount of parking out front and had no trouble finding a spot. I’m not sure where you'd park though if this place was packed. You walk right into the gift shop when you enter, and the taproom is directly to the left. Overall, a solid experience made more enjoyable by the clientele and music at the time.“

“Our first stop when we come to Athens! Delicious, authentic Dominican food along with items that everyone will love.“

“Amazing place for breakfast lunch. Food always magnificent service too!“

“Came in on Wednesday and service was great. They were busy and outstanding. I would recommend taste of India to everybody who wants true Indian food.“

“BEST coffee ever! Tried it for the first time a few days ago, and I’m hooked!“

“The ice cream was definitely worth the price. The service was great, the scoops came out fast. I think the server I had was named Tyler, and he was very nice too. The place was also very sanitary, as I saw a worker making sure everything around the outdoor space was clean. His name was Noah and he also had a great personality. Amazing atmosphere altogether. Definitely will come here again!

Parking: About 15 to 20 spots at the place itself, yet there are hundreds located in the kohls nearby.

Kid-friendliness: Kids under a certain size get free ice cream. If only I was a kid! ??“

“We love this location and the people who work there!! I work a 4 week on / 4 week off schedule so I’m only home half the year; and we go here 2-4 times every time I’m home.. food is always fresh and amazing… Management is in a class of their own and shows with their employees and amazing customer service!! A+++ 5 star!!“

“Roadhouse? More like Roadhome.“

“I love this place and come here when I can. The reason for 4 stars is only because it can get really tight inside when it's busy. But that's out of their control, just makes it hard to hear my conversations.

Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options, and they can make modifications to certain menu items to make them vegetarian

Dietary restrictions: Their menu has a good selection of different foods, and substitutions can be made for certain things.

Parking: There's a tiny parking lot in front, but it's always full. Be prepared to park elsewhere and walk

Kid-friendliness: You could bring kids here earlier in the day, but probably not after 7 pm or so.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, but difficult to navigate once it gets busy. The main area where tables are set up is pretty narrow.“

“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!“
