But it doesn’t stop there. The Two Pancakes Platter, Hash Browns, and customizable Build‑a‑Bowl round out a menu full of down‑home southern favorites . And when the morning crowd thickens? Service stays friendly and efficient thanks to the owner’s welcoming touch .

Why the biscuits steal the show:
• Fresh-baked daily: Warm, fluffy, and slathered in butter or gravy—each bite is a pure delight.
• Locals love them: Ranked #2 in Watkinsville on Yelp’s “Top 10 Biscuits” list .
• Perfect for any meal: Ideal with eggs, gravy, or simply on their own with a cup of steaming coffee.

“It's a slimmed down menu from the Athens locations' but what they offer is still very well made. I must admit, I was disappointed to not have seen the banana bread on this menu. I think, especially in this location, that would be a great item to add. This menu features their biscuits instead. It's located in a great spot with plenty to do after brunch. Would definitely recommend.“

“🙂My daughter and I tried this place for the first time yesterday. The food was DELICIOUS, and there is truly something for any dietary need on their menu. The staff and atmosphere were GREAT! We will definitely be going back SOON!“

“Best Burger in Athens!!! Yes, their breakfasts are fantastic and I think their buttermilk biscuits blow Mama’s Boy out of the water - and for real the coffee is so much better (it’s excellent) but don’t miss the burgers with clean meat!! Burger perfection!! I really love their tea too - unsweet but there’s sugar syrup you can put in - I love everything about this restaurant!“

“Our waitress (Natalie? I think?) is always the best! She listens to what you want, makes suggestions, and brings you exactly what you ordered! She works like a dog, too! Always helping others, clearing tables, or washing dishes. I'm sure she is not paid near her worth to Waffle House! And I pray I have her name right. I'm sure she could really use all the shout outs she can get!“
