Field Peas, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy Almond Cake(delicious) and tea.We went just after lunch hr. so we missed the crowd. Very Enjoyable!!“

“This is a great place! The 5 star rating they have acquired is based on facts! This is a military friendly restaurant that is inviting and flexible. My husband and I went there yesterday after researching where to get the best burgers. This was the only place that had a 5 star rating so we had to go. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and it was very clean inside. We were able to place an order to go so my husband ordered the burger with everything on it and fries. I was able to order off menu a plain burger with 1 tomato slice. My order may seem simple enough however I have been to countless restaurants that never pay attention to what I ask for. They will always put something extra that I have to try and wipe off like mayonnaise. The GeezBurger Chef made my burger exactly as I asked and it was so delicious I can’t express. My husband loved his burger as well. Also the fries are phenomenal. I have never had fries like this. It was almost like the fries had its own special coating. We were able to speak with a wonderful military veteran couple that told us they have been coming for a long time and love it. I highly recommend GeezBurgers - it is outstanding!“

“My son and I stopped by the Hwy 31 location for lunch. I ordered the small catfish meal. It comes with fries which I exchanged for turnips and Cornbread. The catfish was cooked to perfection and the fresh turnips were spot on turnips. The Cornbread muffin was light and fluffy. The meal was a great value and made my tastebuds happy. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Ramona J's to anyone who wants great food for a great price. Go ahead and tantalize your tastebuds.“

“I must have driven past this restaurant many times on the way to work. Me and my Brother decided to stop by one day because he had been there before. He told me the BBQ was really good. I noticed right away that there was a pretty good portion for the price. The food is really tasty. I recommend this restaurant.“

“We had a bad experience when the Madison location opened and when we got one here in Athens my husband and I decided to give it another chance. We are SO glad that we did! It’s now one of our favorite places to eat, every staff member we have encountered has been extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is so relaxed!“

“At a time when most food Industries have dropped the ball and don’t mind to send out poor quality food and at the same time charging a Fortune. I have to Applaud apple bees for sending out great food with great customer service. Trust me when I say you all are rare. 5 stars“

“Catfish Cabin is locally owned and they have the best food in Athens and the reason they run out of fish is because they stay buzy all time and if u haven't ever worked in fast food then u don't know what the workers there go through they try there best to please everyone that comes in but thats impossible and if ur short staffed like everyone is now you got to wait I don't see no body leaving the lines at Burger King r mickie d love the food there and there workers r amazing .Catfish Cabin gets 5 stars plus“

“You can spend 20 minutes studying the menu, there are so many choices. You can't go wrong with their crapes. I will say, if you want good hashbrowns, tell them to chop them up and brown them...otherwise they are only cooked on one side.“

“I ordered take out and had to call to make a request since they don't take special requests online. I always have to call and the lady named Joyce is always so kind and friendly and never acts like she hates answering tge phone. She is a “
