Restaurants near The Plains

“My girlfriend and I have been there several times before and even had my 50th birthday party there, but today we went for the Easter brunch and it's the best buffet I have ever been to. Everything we tried was excellent and we can't wait to go back again.”

“Diamond in the rough. This is a little place that is good. My order was goofed, but it was so yummy I was thrilled. Bacon egg sandwich instead of sausage worked wonderfully. They were busy, so people are finding out about this wonderful place.”

“I am willing to drive 5+ miles to go to this subway and that should tell you a lot about the locations in main Athens. These guys consistently get my order right 9/10 from online and are generous with ingredient portions. And unlike the location on E State St the wheat bread smells and tastes like wheat bread and not like tuna which as a vegetarian is a very appreciated thing… ?”

“Excellent pizza. Small place and service was outstanding! We are from Fairborn Ohio, and this was recommended by another guest that stayed in the cabin prior to us. So glad we tried this pizza place!”

“Well, it’s McDonald’s and you can generally count on consistency from one McD to the next. Workers were nice. They were really busy so service was a bit slow. Restrooms were ok.”

“While in town on vacation we got the Chicken and Shrimp hibachi and the NY Strip and Scallops hibachi and both were amazing! Super fresh and cooked perfectly. The hibachi meals come with a broth and a salad, both of which were good! We called our order in and it was done within 15 min. The service was excellent and the workers were very kind. The restaurant is small inside but they do have some seating, we got our food to go.”

“Came for the Indian food, left wanting to come back for the genuine hospitality. I feel like I'm walking into my favorite Uncle's kitchen, where he greets me with the most divine tea and then fills my belly with nutritious, delicious food. The naan is uncontested and the Bangin Bartha is truly Bangin. Not to mention the Paneer Palak, get out of town. Actually, I've never eaten one bad dish here. I'd rather give 10 stars but I'll settle with 5.”

“Lulu runs a very clean restaurant, with outstanding decor and atmosphere. The food is sort of standard restaurant tex/mex BUT everything on my plate is fresh and plentiful -read that as huge portions. The house salsa is top shelf, and the guacamole is also very good. Lulu does not serve alcohol, but you can bring your own.”

“A trove of tasty treats and tapas. In my first trip, I left with pasta salad, meatballs, and a cannoli. All so delicious! There’s a quality and purpose to this food - I’ll be back for more!”

“So unbelievably happy we stopped into this bakery on our recent trip through Ohio!Don't let the size of their shop fool you-- The footprint may be small but their huge selection of breads, pastries, and panini sandwiches is exactly what you'd want from a place like this.We needed lunch, and after talking to who I believe is Tim, the head baker, my hubby and I took his recommendations and couldn't have been happier. My husband's name is Kevin, so he ordered "The Kevin," which is turkey, cheddar, house-made coleslaw, and pickles. He DEVOURED it! Then wanted another!I ordered "The Laurie," which is roasted beets, Laurel Valley cloverton cheese, black pepper, arugula, and a balsamic drizzle....People...! THIS is my new favorite sandwich of all time! It is so unique and refreshing and I am currently trying to recreate it at home! (I just need that BREAD!)I can't say enough great things about Athens Bread Company, and we can't wait to stop in again on our way from Michigan to Louisville in a few months. If you're in the Athens area, make it a point to stop and try something! Anything! Grab a loaf, a sandwich, and a bottle of flavored balsamic vinegar or oil..... I promise you won't be sorry! :)”

“The flavor of the food was quite good, though the coconut chicken curry was a bit soupy and light on the chicken. For $24, the quantity of the food should have included more food. Thankfully there was warm bread and dipping sauce served before and during the meal to help fill us up.”

“Donkey Coffee is a must-visit independent coffee shop in Athens, Ohio. Offering a variety of drinks, Donkey is a staple for Ohio University students and locals alike. They have ample seating, making this a great place to meet with friends, study or stop by for a quick drink or snack. They also have a stage where they host open mic nights and other intimate performances. Everyone who works here is incredibly nice and helpful if you have any questions about their offerings.”

“Small restaurant, but got seated fairly quickly and food came very fast. Street parking was a bit difficult to find. Atmosphere was a typical older diner. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Had a veggie omelet, hashbrowns, and biscuit & gravy. Husband had egg sandwich and shared my meal. My meal was very good. Would definitely go back.”

“Fun quirky place to eat. The coleslaw is delicious and tangy. Both the regular and vegetarian hot dogs are good (and no upcharge for vegetarian one!) French fries are delicious and taste exactly like fair fries. Skip the cheese sauce and get the roasted garlic rosemary mayo with your fries. Leave time to look at the hotdog history related items around the restaurant.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian hot dogs, baked beans and chili sauce”

“We have been searching for a go to restaurant since we moved down here a couple of years ago. We like a nice family run business close to homeThis may be my first 5 star.It is exactly as advertised, maybe more.The food was worth the trip!The service was as good as the food!Prices were more than reasonable.I highly recommend this restaurant.It's our go to place.They make you feel like they appreciate your business.”

“The perfect place for date night! I went to celebrate my 2 year anniversary and the food was absolutely amazing, one of the best burgers I've ever had! If you can go on jazz night it creates the perfect atmosphere.”

“We had “That’s a chunky” hazy IPA and they were great! They are having a pig roast tonight to celebrate 420! They have indoor seating as well as a nice outside area. They have games you can grab and play inside and have tether ball outside. Kids are welcome too! They have a large selection of beer and other drinks including non alcoholic options which I love. They have restrooms for everyone including a family and all gender one!! Parking lot is large which is a plus. All the staff from the time we got there was very friend knowledgeable and helpful. They have handicap parking area close to the entrance of the brewery. They also sell shirts and hats merchandise at a reasonable price. Definitely will be back when we can stay longer.”

“Looking for a hometown type of place for late lunch during a visit to Ohio University. Good fried chicken ? and excellent walk up service. The seating area is limited but clean and pleasant. Picture of the original family home and business site on the wall. Close to campus.”

“Tucked away on the fringe of Ohio University's campus happenings, you will find Ciro, an Italian restaurant featuring both traditional eats and at-home favorites. With a window into the kitchen, you can see your order being made fresh and the freshness is only further highlighted by the taste of the actual meal. Most notably, I ordered the special which featured a polenta crusted cod, risotto and broccoli. The fish tasted fresh and was cooked well. The risotto was the perfect consistency and the broccoli was vibrant, green and tender. The service was excellent and we were able to get a table on a Friday night without a reservation.”

“Great price for size and loaded with toppings. They also have a really tasty cauliflower crust pizza. We called to ask about ingriedients in the cauliflower crust due to an allergy and they were super friendly and helpful. Best part is being able to pull through for pizza pickup and drinks!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“Loved this brewery! Excellent beers and the food truck was awesome too with some awesome hot dogs. The Whiskey S’mores Stout is one of the best stouts I’ve ever had, one of the best beers in general I’ve ever had. Brewery #281 on the Ohio on Tap trail, this one has been one of the best!”

“It's a nice tap room and if you love Bourbon barrel aged beers they've got your fill. My only complaint was the parking lot. It's kind of hard to find.”

“All kinds of frozen custard options! Inside food court area! Close to all the games and fun! Enjoy tons of flavors and styles!Kid-friendliness: Near all the games and bowling!”

“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. It's authentic Mexican food and it tastes amazing! The workers are kind and mostly responsive to your needs, although, somewhat difficult to understand because of their accent. However, it's worth it for the food. My only complaint is when the music is on, it's a bit too loud for conversation sometimes.”

“Ordered shrimp fried rice and dumplings, it was very good. Service was pretty reasonable. We dined in and there were nonstop takeout orders, seemed to be very popular.”

“A cozy and cute spot for a specialty cocktail. Love stopping in here to have a drink and play board games. The service is so friendly and informative on the different types of spirits. Kelly is my favorite bartender, she would look great in a hat.”

“We stopped in while passing through town. The coffee we got was delicious and reasonably priced too! I had a hot latte and my husband had iced. They were both made perfect. They do have an area that you can add things to your drink if you want to. We definitely were happy the way they came! The little coffee shop has tables inside and out for seating. It’s right downtown so it’s great to grab a coffee and sit outside and take in the scenery. Plenty of street parking too. They have some pastries and offer breakfast sandwiches and more.”

“It is a lovely, quaint coffee shop in Athens, OH. The coffees are delicious, and inexpensive. They do have some food, but mostly some baked goods here and there, nothing to fancy but still tasty. The atmosphere is warm, and welcoming.”

“Real pit bbq taste. The best food in Athens County. Worth every cent.Parking: Easy to find this place after parking.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere.”

“While on campus to pick up our daughter for Christmas Break we stopped in for an early dinner. I split the Fried Fish wrap with my husband. It was plenty of food so I was glad we split. I do wish their wraps came with a side of some sort. Overall very delicious. Would eat there again.”
