“I can’t say enough positive things about this place. The new location has a nice staff, laid back atmosphere, and terrific food which is the perfect mix for a hometown bar & grill. The “Cocky Cowboy” is the best chicken sandwich in the game and I’ll die on that hill. So glad to have them back in Watkinsville, looking forward to more good times, and good food, from great people.”

“Really friendly inviting bar/restaurant. Went to south kitchen for drink and short order meal. First I wish I could remember our server’s name because she was so good and accommodating. Anyway, fun bar atmosphere and pretty good menus. Burgers were good. I got salad with crab cake on top and it was great. I’m not a fan of tater tots but they cook them in duck fat and they were super. All in all nice place and reasonably priced Updated four years later. South kitchen has been updated and new chief. Was good before better now”

“last 2 times i've gone the restaurant is closed despite google hours saying they're open. Extremely inconsiderate to the patrons who drive all the way to just be met with a locked door. It takes 2 ninutes to update your google hours. Not sure what's going on here. *edited my review after owner's response. Honest mistake but seems like they are fixing it so thank you very much! 🙏”

“Placed a To Go order because my husband was working across the street and had smelled it for hours after I hyped it up. He was all for the order and we live almost 2 hours away. I haven’t been to this Rafferty’s in 10+ years. My husband has never had it. I got the regular burger and my husband had the bbq burger and we also ordered fried mushrooms. Flavor is unmatched, quality was top tier and the way everything was packaged looked as if it took time, not just thrown together quickly. Even after an almost 2 hour drive, it was all still perfect! It reminded me of when I was younger and my grandparents took me to this same location often and I always got the burger. The staff then knew my grandparents by name and if I remember correctly, always remembered their orders. The burgers are the best we’ve ever had, hopefully another chance arises for more Rafferty’s in our future. Thank you for always being delicious and consistent.”

“Okay, so there are two Maepole restaurants in town. I go to this one most often because it is more convenient, parking is easy and plentiful. I've always gotten super friendly service and the food is amazing. Summer is especially good because of the hibiscus lime and ginger pineapple lemonade. Try the salads. Maybe add some tofu if you're super hungry. The crunchies are the best. Mmmmm. Might have try crunchies on the sweet potatoes. Oh heck! Just go. The food's delicious!”

“Never ate here before yesterday. First impressions are everything to the relationship between any business and it's customer. That being said, this place had a very good first impression for me. Food was delicious, service was fast and professional, and they have a television in every corner. It's not pretending to be something else. It's a pub and grill, and a great one.”

“My husband and I came here for the first time after we got married in 2022, and it was really good. Tonight, we came here, and it was DELICIOUS! Everything was exceptional from service (thank you Stephen O.) all the way to meals and dessert! Stephen let us know that the chef even mentioned that the staff now is the best it's ever been, which fully reflects in the entire experience! Give Stephen and the head chef a bottle of wine, and then but a round for the crew - they all deserve it!!! ♥♥”

“My wife and I always enjoy eating at the Hilltop Grille when we are in Athens. The cream brûlée is amazing. On our visit to Athens on 2/13/2026, around 11:30 AM, I had the grilled salmon. It was delicious. My wife shared a little of her coleslaw with me. I later experienced mild indigestion. The only other thing I ate all day was some freshly homemade brownies my sweet neighbor brought over. The following morning around 7 AM, I awoke with an extreme urgency to go to the bathroom. I almost didn’t make it. I had a one and done case of severe diarrhea. I am submitting this review just to see if anyone else experienced the same issue after eating after eating there that day.”

“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.”

“The staff and service was great! The fried onion app was good. Great salads and loaded potatoes. The steaks were just okay on this visit. We had ribeyes. They were thin and a little fatty (mine was at least). I recalled them being seasoned or marinated a bit so the taste was off for me. They were cooked to order though (medium rare). The ribs my party ordered were good. Worth popping in for friendly service.”

“Their Monte Cristo is the BEST! I will drive out of my way in order to get one. This chain is among my favorite just because of this sandwich. If you've never tried one, you should. This restaurant was not busy when I arrived at 2pm, so I was able to work until my food arrived. Great customer service, great food, good value, cool atmosphere. All things to make this location highly recommended!”
