“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

“Absolutely the best quality restaurant i've EVER been to. My girl and i decided to have our 2nd date somewhere new for a nice sitdown dinner tonight and omg. The staff there are amazing and VERY kind. Their cheese sticks and burgers are on a whole other level. We ordered a 2nd serving of their cheese sticks they were so good. We even got to meet the cheff and she was so sweet. We learned that everything including the cheese sticks and sauce are homemade with a custom recipe and they blow ALL other restaurants out of the water literally. This place serves ALL ganras of food. From burgers to fish to steak to sushi and more. I VERY HIGHLY recomend this place to all couples and families. Night time seems to be the more peaceful adult time because there were very few people there. But it was VERY relaxing atmosphere for a date night with your significant other. Be prepared though because this place will have you asking for seconds. My girl and i will DEFINATELY be coming back here. 500/10 score.“
