50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Watkinsville

“I made a particularly specific to-do order for a friend. Even though it took me a while to get everything in order for everyones food, they were very patient and sweet! The one who took my order, Lilli I think their name is, went above and beyond! There was another server who put together my order as well but I didn't catch her name. Definitely coming back!“

“The food was pretty good for American cuisine. I got the Blazing Hobo burger, it was filling for sure but wasn’t cooked to my medium rare request. The chicken wrap looked delicious that my wife got. The BLT was a doozie of a sandwich.“

“This was a pleasant find. I will definitely stop in again next time I'm passing through. Very fresh . Picked up a flavored coffee that was flavored just right. Not too sweet. Egg sandwich and banana bread. Food was fresh and homemade. Drive thru available“

“The meals from the classic Varsity menu are available with an easier access.“

“Food is delicious. Staff is friendly!“

“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!“

“Here's a cleaned-up version that keeps your observations while reading more naturally for a Google review:

Mya was a great server, and the restaurant is housed in a very cool historic building that adds a lot of character to the experience.

We visited on a Tuesday, so it wasn't very crowded, though we made a reservation just in case. My guess is that during the school year it probably gets much busier.

I ordered the hamburger with Hot Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to my requested medium-rare, which impressed me since thinner patties often end up closer to medium or well-done. The only minor critique was the bun. The burger and toppings were very juicy, and the bottom bun became soggy fairly quickly. That said, it was still a delicious burger.

The Hot Fries were excellent, with a unique airy crispiness that made them stand out. They were flavorful without being greasy at all.

Overall, a solid meal, great service, and a place I'd happily visit again.“

“Jake was a great server and the food was amazing!! It is no shock that their fries are winning awards!!“

“Great food, good service and nice people“

“Great food, service and entertainment!“

“🙂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!“

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

“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.“

“good food and great atmosphere.“

“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, and great service.“

“Great house distilled spirits and beers. I had their 12 year barrel aged stout that was so smooth and complex. Very strong at nearly 13% I believe but among the best barrel stout I have had. Their Aperol imitation was very lovely and I happily took home a bottle.“

“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!“

“-Bacon was crispy and not greasy at all
-The fruit was fresh and super sweet
-Eggs cooked to perfection
-Biscuits were warm and pillowy
-The cinnamon bun was freshly baked

I’m general our experience was positive and we’re definitely adding this place into our rotation for breakfast dates and family brunches!“

“We stopped by small cakes to get ice cream after a doctors appointment and it was so good. Customer service was great. The cupcakes are so cute and well decorated! We will be coming back.“

“Great food and atmosphere! Wonderful service!“

“food is delicious and great customer service.“

“we ate at Taco Mama for lunch today. The staff was so nice. the service was excellent. The cook created a delicious meal for us. The food is so fresh tasting. We will definitely be back again.“

“The legacy continues from Athens to Monroe, I don’t care if you go for the food, the spirits or the vibe, it’s not to be missed!“

“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.“

“This distillery is very unique, and extremely well done in all aspects. There is plenty of parking. There are both indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy the company of your friends. The venue itself is an absolute marvel. Very well appointed rooms take you back in time as the architecture and design are classic and comfortable. I don’t normally drink spirits of any kind. I was traveling, visiting a friend I hadn’t seen in years and she suggested we go here. I decided to go way out of my comfort zone and ordered a flight of their spirits. I was stunned. They were all so good! I actually purchased a bottle of the “Barrel-rested Old Tom” gin to share with my daughter once I returned home. The manager, Andy, is an absolute wealth of knowledge! From the spirits themselves, to drinks in general, to history (of any kind….US history, European history, ancient history, you name it), he was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge. I had such a nice time that I went there again the following day and took another friend who does “Distillery trips” throughout the US and Europe. She was just as enthralled as I had been and purchased several bottles of spirits to take home to share with her husband. This place is a gem. Do not miss it!

Addendum 5/10/26 Just opened my first bottle with my daughter. It was just as good as I remembered!“

“The employee are so friendly“

“This is a great brewery that is super plugged into the neighborhood. It is well worth coming for a beer, mixed drink, or NA drink. There is a great selection. They host a ton of great events, so make sure you keep an eye on the event calendar for something fun.“

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

“love this coffee. Just go ahead and buy the 5lb bag because you will be spoiled .“

“I love their Strawberry Mango Rev-r upper....and strawberry mango smoothies! I visit The Omni location“

“los filetes de pollo y la tostada muy rico.“

“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!“

“To start things off, the reason I’m only giving 4 stars and not 5 is because I feel that there has been a drop off in the quality of Terrapin’s beer over the last year or two. Being a born and raised Georgian (North Georgia), Terrapin was one of the main breweries that hooked me into craft beer. Their limited release line was amazing for so many years. I was also able to get limited releases local from several craft beer package stores from 2009 to around 2020. Yrs, I know Covid screwed a lot of things up, but what’s crazy is I was able to get amazing beers from breweries all over the country during Covid, yet distribution of Terrapin seemed to slow and then now only the core beers are available in package stores, including no Wake-N-Bake distribution and no more Moo-Hoo in production at all! I was told you could go to the brewery and buy W-N-B, so I decided to make the almost 2 hour drive to the brewery to pick some up. Upon entering, I noticed the gift shop side and immediately saw some older limited release WNB bottles that were left over before one of their previous brewers left, which I quickly grabbed 8 or 10 bottles of them and took them to the counter to put aside for me. I also ordered a couple of their new WNB variations that are only available on draft in house. I had the Cinnamon Roll WNB, Irish Buh Bye and Cherry Garcia. They were all very good, but there was no comparison to what these variations use to be. There was almost zero Cinnamon in the Cinnamon Roll, not much Cherry in the Cherry Garcia and the best of the 3 was the Irish Buh Bye, but none of them compared to the quality of the variations from years past and to me, that’s sad considering how awesome they use to be. Still very good (not great) beer.
The brewery itself.. fantastic space and some very nice staff that was very accommodating. The place was very clean and I definitely enjoyed my time while I was there. I also learned that whatever company owns Terrapin also owns Sweetwater in Atlanta, which I also feel the quality of Sweetwater declined 6-8 years ago and I have quit drinking Sweatwater all together.
I know the craft beer scene isn’t what it was a few years ago, but I hope Terrapin’s beer doesn’t continue to decline. Again, overall.. really enjoyed myself at Terrapin and I will go again when I’m in the area, but given the lack of quality in the beers, I don’t know if it’s enough to make me want to drive back to drive just for a visit to the brewery.“

“Viviana gave me the best experience at Foxtail! Her enthusiasm, kindness, and sincerity has made my experience at this coffee shop so pleasant. Other coffee shops in Athens have baristas who give you attitude and seem generally angry that they have to serve you. Viviana is the best barista ever and she made me THE BEST iced matcha with lavender, honey, and cold foam.“

“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!“

“Our server, Xavier, and the bartender, Kai, were really nice and made the meal more enjoyable.

The Chicken Marsala was very good, but next time I will ask for extra gravy.

The smoked Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked was amazing.

All the sides were really good: baby carrots, sauteed green beans, creamed spinach, and broiled brussel sprouts.

The mixed greens salad with grilled shrimp was also really good.“

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

“Food tasted great, and our server was excellent.“

“i met a boy here in march 1994 and we immediately got married . 31yrs♥️“

“I had one of the best banana splits! Most places will be skimpy with their ice cream, but not here. My banana split was well worth the money and beautifully made. Let me mention I was greeted with a warm and friendly smile once getting up to the window. That makes me feel that it was made with love. I will definitely be going back. You guys rock!!!“

“Moved away from town but literally searched for this location again bc I’d been meaning to leave this review forever ago.

I used to come to this Krystal all the time between midnight-3am and always had the most amazing customer service and hot fresh food served pretty fast. Idk what it is about this location at this hour but I’ve always have an exceptionally good experience“

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

“The assistant manager working there was absolutely amazing !! She was so helpful with our group in giving recommendations on what to do in the area. They have a cute little outdoor area with mini golf and seating. The food wasn’t bad I got just the steak quesadilla nothing special about it. Everyone else really enjoyed their food! We went around 3 so no one else was there so the food was super quick.“
