“Absolutely the best chicken in Athens, sauced up but still so crispy. I've gone a couple times and tried different chicken flavors and they're all good. Unfortunately, I tried the tteok bokki and it was really bad. The flavor was not there and the cheese on top appeared to be shredded bag cheese that struggled to melt. Trader Joe's does it better... Anyway excellent spot but I'd mainly just stick with the chicken.“

The chocolate peanut butter pretzel stout was really good and not overwhelmingly sweet. Several of the other beers were great and the server was really friendly. One of the brewers even came to the bar to recommend other beers. Great service and great beer. An absolute must visit for craft beer if you are in Athens.“

The ambience in the restaurant is kinda dark and they are definitely trying to resemble a fancy steakhouse vibes. I wasn’t too impressed and thought it was kinda grim looking. Doesn’t reflect on their food at all & I still really enjoyed my meal!!“
