“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!“

“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.“

Athentic Brewing Company Brewery • $

“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.“

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.“
