5 Best American Restaurants near Athens

“Had supper there last night had to wait awhile cause the place was packed but overall the food was excellent and waiting for the food was worth it .. will be back again“

“First time here and we love this place! We came down to see how a community close to Athens, Michigan had fared through the tornado and had dinner at The Office. Great service, great food, cold beer, and very welcoming. Kudos on having a great business!“

“My wife and I seasonal camp down the road, found this little gem and we absolutely love this restaurant. A small town local business that makes you feel like you’re part of the family every minute that you’re there. The food is amazing and the service is top tier, during the off season we leave the city where there are plenty of other breakfast options and make the over 30 minute drive to grab a Saturday morning breakfast, Dawns is that worth it!“

“I’ve always had a good experience there. It isn’t fast food. It’s a place to go where you can enjoy the salad bar before the entree. Usually 15-30 minutes until the main entree arrives. I worked there and unlike most restaurants it is a tight ship and clean. I enjoy dining there and have always had good service. Also the atmosphere is special with windows into nature. Dining and watching hummingbirds and even deer is special. The gardens and flowers are exquisite. A nice stroll to experience. It’s family owned and deserves support of people who enjoy fine dining.“

“My wife and I ordered broasted chicken wich was pretty good. We don't care for white meat so we asked if we could get dark meat and was told yes. When I got the bill I was charged an extra$4 for the dark meat. We were not told this when we ordered. Probably won't go back.“
