Restaurants in Athens

“My Dad and I like to go here on Sundays for coffee and a visit. They prices, coffee, internet, and atmosphere are better than Starbucks. I love the sweet treats and food they offer as well. The restroom is always clean. Service is friendly and prompt. Even the other customers are friendly.”

“Wow! I loved this place! A beautiful country setting perfect for any time of year. Can’t wait to go in the fall and winter! Beautiful stone hearth inside. Wine selection was great and the charcuterie was the best. Great staff and proprietors! Highly recommend!”

“Today I went to have lunch with my husband and toddler son. He’s autistic. He was stemming and kicking the bench and the elderly couple sitting next to us got annoyed. The gentleman got up to tell us to tell our son to stop kicking. He asked very annoyed and in a rude manner. I did not reply. Then I explained to our sweet waitress that our son is autistic and the kicking was stemming and is more noticeable because he has AFOs on. She apologized for them and I asked her if she could just move us because I don’t expect everyone will understand unless they have a loved one with special needs. She did, and we had a lovely dinner and she was so sweet and the manager gave us a discount on top of that. They did not have to and yet they did. They took care of the situation discreetly and we were able to continue to enjoy our meal. Thank you so much for kindness , compassion, incredible service❤️ and delicious food”

“We stopped in while visiting Athens for the day. The place was recommended by my boyfriend’s coworker. There was nothing fancy about the dining area but the food was soooooo good! The homemade yellow queso was incredible as well as the salsa. We ordered gorditas and the chile rellenos and both were delicious!! 😋 A young man waited on us and they were very attentive and kind. The food was hot and fresh! We will be back for sure!”

“Surprised a hole in the wall and good food Low Prices and Great Waitress Erica and Sandra were awesome and great cooks. Sandra is Single boys and a good cook is hard to find. Single guys go and ask for Sandra”

“Best italian food we have ever had, sure miss it, hopefully we can make the trip soon!!”

“This cute restaurant has the best gluten free sandwiches! We also enjoyed the gluten free strawberry cake and butter rum cake balls. When we come back through this area we will definitely stop by again.”

“Overall great. Food was 10/10 as usual, service was great. Firehouse Subs has never let me down.

This one doesn't have a ton of seating though so when they're busy you might not be able to eat in. Have backup plans”

“Abi was great and the food was great”

“Great food at this location. Definitely will be going back !”

“Definitely recommend After hearing so many good things about this place, I decided to give it a try. I was disappointed to find out that they closed at 8:00 pm, but was pleasantly surprised when the owners offered to sell me roasted chicken, aguas fresa, and tortillas flour and corn even after closing hours. The owners were incredibly sweet and generous, and I ended up getting roasted chicken and corn tortillas. I can't wait to go back and try the full menu and experience the friendly and welcoming atmosphere again. The owners of this joint truly go above and beyond for their customers.”

“The teas & shakes are amazing! And the protein balls are so yummy! Go by & see Amanda she is the best!!”

“The food & service is always excellent! We'll be back again.”

Got everything perfect and she was so attentive and sweet the entire time. Honestly, the best chilis experience of my life and I’ve been going to various locations almost my entire 40 years of life. She’s an absolute GEM!! ♥️”

“Moved away from the Athens area in 2013. Still have family there. Places I missed food wise in Athens came to mind and Burger Barn is one of my 2. I'd get burgers and fries for my hubby right before his lunch break so it'd be ready when he headed home. We'd meet at home at the same time every time. Best burgers and fries! 12/10”

“we drove an hour 2 weeks ago to try this place out to celebrate my fathea retirement. it was a busy evening we had no reservations. 6 pple. she told us 45 min wait. we said ok. she seated us in 10. Great service! Great food! clean restaurant with a nice view of the water. we are anxious to visit again!”

“Great chips & hot sauce. Chicken enchiladas with beans and rice were great for the $9.00 special. Bought a dozen tamales to go for $10 (good) and a bag of chips & sauce. Will definitely go back next time I'm in this neck of the woods.”

“I was there at 715pm and my food was hot and fast considering there was a long line of kids and how busy it was. Definitely taking my family back”

“Super cool place we stumbled upon while looking at the antique shops nearby. We ordered orange juice and grapefruit that were fresh squeezed to our surprise. Good aperol spritz too. The decor and vibe are so fun and I liked the music that was on. Great vibe!”

“This was my first time coming here with my husband and daughter. My husband absolutely loves it. My only complaint is that the food is a little too salty for my taste, other than that I enjoyed it.”

“I thought this was a food pantry as I opened the door to go in. It is not. They actually serve to go lunches for the homeless or unfortunate.
The staff were very nice and gave me a bag. So I said thank you and ate it in my car. Rice with beans, hotdogs and good seasoning, a baloney sandwich, and cake. Thank you all. Lunch tasted great!”

“Food was awesome tonight 😍”

“Great food for all your needs”

“Love their Protein Smoothies! Great atmosphere, and great selection of natural & local products.”

“Absolutely the best team to work with Benson's Eats Treats 💯 From start to finish, they are with you every step of the way—reliable, supportive, and always just a phone call away. No matter how many times you have questions (even if you’ve asked them before, they answer with patience and professionalism. Their commitment is unmatched—you never have to worry about no-shows or delays. And the quality of their work? Flawless. Impressive. Top-notch. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares and delivers beyond expectations, look no further. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Kaity Moses was just a sweetie! She came by checking on us often. It made us feel special.

As always the food was yummy! I love getting the harvest chicken sandwich. Yummy! Of course that good ol’ sweet tea with lemon 🍋 is THE BEST!”

“Overall the meal was great. I had the seafood platter. Fish and shrimp were great. The crab was good but a little small. Hush puppies definitely a HIT! I also tried the gumbo but it doesn't stand up to New Orleans style. Would love to see whole catfish added to the menu!”

“Good food. Great service. I’m Super happy I found this place!”

“I've been here 3 different times since visiting out of state. The place is so good from the food to the ice cream. Customer service is amazing and the place is clean. The market is so cute and fun”

“Delicious food... best breakfast around the city.”

“Had a wonderful first Dutch Bros experience the other day. Very sweet Barista there Monday morning answered all my questions and helped me pick out a delicious drink. I plan on coming back today and whenever I am back visiting in Texas.”

“Absolutely amazing restaurant!
The food here is incredibly delicious — fresh ingredients and great flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi or classic Chinese dishes, everything is cooked to perfection. The service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. One of the best Asian restaurants I’ve been to. Highly recommended!”

“Work graveyard shift, every Saturday morning & Sunday morning eat lunch there. Always same order, burger, fries & small drink. The burger is always great, but the fries are different The fries are always hot, but if store is busy the fries are very crispy (Great). But if the is not busy, the fries are still hot. They are very limp & saturated with oil. On these occasions I just throw them away. Don't know why this has held true since May 2022. Frustrating”

“The owner is the best his kindness and loyalty to his family, employees, and customers. Can't ask for more. the food is just amazing. The owner is amazing person of God and friend. Everything about this place is just wonderful the service the atmosphere the food even the staff. Hope to see you again brother.”

“Great food and amazing service”

“I really enjoyed my Greek salad. This is my second time trying schlotskys, my first time was at a different location and I disliked my sandwich.It's a healthier version of fast food in my opinion. They are slightly on the pricey side but the ingredients seem very fresh.The cashier didn't know the difference with the dressings, but he was polite. Our food was brought out quickly.The dining room is pretty plain. The bathroom is pretty clean. It's a typical chain restaurant.

Parking: The parking lot is slightly small but there is a hardware store next door that can accommodate a truck and trailer.”

“Every taco bell I go to is the same. Hit or miss on food quality or service. Today I made a mistake and ordered incorrectly on the app. The nice lady told me not to worry about it, wrote down the right order and I got it a couple minutes later. Nobody's stomach is meant to eat Taco bell consistently but if I could I would at the Athens location. I appreciate the quick fix on my lunch break!”

“Everything was great, food, service except I'm guessing the air conditioner was out but they did their best to make guests comfortable with cooling fans to circulate the air.”
