Thanks for another fantastic Chef Salah Seconds’ meal last night, NY strip cooked perfectly to our different tastes 🤩, with excellent service from Kelsee, and warm hospitality by Denise 👍🏻 Next time we’ll make sure to get our adult bev treatment from Nurse Betty 🙌🏻 Feeling very lucky to have the consistently delicious and welcoming Seconds restaurant in our Athens community! 🥰

Wonderful meal, wonderful experience. I was dining solo, which I do not do that often, and they were so accommodating and friendly. I sometimes think you can judge the quality of the service at a restaurant by how they treat a solo diner :)… the bartender Betty made me feel right at home and the owner Denise checked in at just the right time to ask how everything was. And they have hummingbird cake :) Highly recommend.

I took my husband here for his birthday two days ago. We've been recommend to try Sconds by a lot of our customers in town. We are locals, just haven't had time to try it. Anyway, the food was GREAT one stupid complaint is the vegetable/rice didn't have much flavor. They had a band so that was cool to eat and have some yummy cocktails while they played. My husband had Salmon and I had the Brisket Bacon Burger both were delicious. Our service was great, our waitress was veryyy nice, atmosphere was chill and inviting, outside seating available, very clean overall a great experience. We did had renovations. We would definitely recommend and will be back soon...

Great Service, chef is unbelievable, fig and goat cheese app was fantastic. Bar service and drinks from Betty, best in Capital District, if not beyond.

Such a lovely meal in Athens. Sat outside with our son and doggy. The owner and her daughter were so nice and the good was excellent. The eggplant Parm was perfection as was the chocolate mousse. My son who's usually a bit picky crushed he shrimp scampi. Great spot with a lovely view of the river to cap the night.

So first off this place is in a sort of unpopulated area - however that obviously caused an extreme understaffed issue here. There was only one cook making the food : service was terrible. 21 DOLLARS FOR PASTA WITH VEGETABLES?! atp it robbery gng do not come here. Legit Carillo with red sauce is better than ts. Ts pmo gng brochacho🥀🥀
Great food, friendly staff and a stone's throw from the water.

My mother and I had dinner at Seconds last evening and had a fantastic experience. She thought she had made a reservation through Google, but never received a confirmation. When we arrived at 6 PM—on a busy summer concert night in Athens—we realized we didn’t have one. Despite the crowd, the hostess was incredibly gracious and managed to find us a table for two.
The service throughout the evening was excellent. Our waitress was warm, efficient, and attentive—our water glasses were never empty.
We both enjoyed a glass of the organic Chianti (a generous pour) and the eggplant Parmesan, which was outstanding. It came stacked with tender eggplant, spinach, and ricotta, served alongside a perfectly cooked and seasoned pasta in vodka sauce. The portion was just right—we each ate half and took the rest home.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, with great ambiance. It was busy and lively, but everything flowed smoothly. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying themselves just as much as we were.
Highly recommend!

Amazing dinner tonight. Everything was fantastic .

Reviews looked great! Not sure if the restaurant was understaffed when we came in, but, honestly service was terrible, rushed, unresponsive and slowwwww. Food came out cold and everything tastes like it’s cheap, reheated & frozen. Even a simple pasta with sauce was gross & ice cold. The bread and olive oil was the best part! Delish. Some more bread while we waited 40 min to get our food with no explanation or check in would have been nice. C’mon guys! If you’re competing with all the great food offerings in the area, you need to step it up. Wanted & hoped to love this place! But it falls short - & I don’t recommend. Spaghetti at home would have been better. I hate hate writing bad reviews & I only do it when I feel like a biz is super unprofessional. Sorry guys :(
