“We used to go here before they moved n we loved it. We were disappointed that the internet said they are open til 11pm but they didn’t share that they stop serving food at 9 pm. The food got quite expensive since they moved. We went here about a month ago and had the steak tips that we split and got the macaroni and cheese n some sort of root sticks that were like potatoes n were very good. They were out of the plantain which was disappointing at the time. We got a side of beans n rice which was good but these are all very very small portions now and we think it’s pricy though the food is good, we shouldn’t have to split a meal to afford it. So glad that we got to enjoy some singing while we were there also. That was fun. We don’t drink alcohol so we don’t know about any of that. We do recommend this place if you can afford it cuz all of the food we ordered was good.“

Open Door Cafe Bar • $
3 N Jackson St, Athens

“Amazing atmosphere paired with great service and food. This place is arguably the best restaurant in Athens. The service was really what stood out as being incredible. She didn't just serve us our food, but she also gave us the history of the building and had great manners and respect. The atmosphere was fantastic. Being old timey with a pair of newer aestetic, it felt like I was at home. The food was amazing, being cheap and affordable but so delicious at the same time. Overall, this is the best restaurant I've ever been to.“
