So if that's something that interests y'all, go for it. The staff here has been so generous and amazing throughout my experience. They encouraged us to take pictures, accommodated a dessert for my friend, and just been amazing people overall. The food did take a bit to come out, but the food did not disappoint. I ordered the BBQ pork, and the fries were a bit soggy but that's how I like mine (hot take). Also, the cole slaw was a bit vinegary, which is also how I like it. The price isn't too bad, but compared to the other location in Athens, it is a tad more pricey, but still not bad. Overall, 9/10!!

He was prompt with all of our needs and checked in on us throughout. The food was yum. My kids had a burger. I had the chicken sandwich (so good). We tried both desserts. I was skeptical about banana pudding as I have never been a fan of the wafer version. Since it was my birthday weekend my family insisted we order the chocolate and banana. Both were impressive, I recommend scooping a bit of each on one spoon . Although each are delightful on their own. The lavender margarita gets two thumbs up! Decor was pleasant. The bathrooms are the most fun I have ever been in! Bravo WT.

We did not have a reservation. They were so kind at the front sat us within five minutes. There is also outdoor seating that was pretty crowded too. The menu is very affordable. The portions are generous in the food quality is fantastic. My husband got the fried fish, I got the Carolina burger, which are sweet server. Told me is their most popular. It is a double smash burger with pimento cheese, bacon, jam, and a Black Eyed Pea Bass, just a little and it is delicious. The star of the show is the sauces for the fries. The fries are hand cut, and there are six different sauces to choose from. We had garlic aïoli, beermustard, and smoked paprika. There is a 50 Cent charge if you get more than two, we were happy to pay it.

First visit in a while to a casual Mexican restaurant and we were less pleased this time …read more This restaurant benefits from its proximity to the other positive aspects of wire park, where people can stop conveniently when visiting the library, shopping, or attending community events scheduled there. Its most positive points (imho) are its location, its outdoor seating in nice weather, and its family friendly ambience. Its short comings (imho) are the food and the noise level, even early on a weeknight. Food: 3/5 We appreciate that they put chips and sauce on the table right away. There is a large menu-and there is an entree special on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday The kitchen makes a positive effort to get the food to your table piping hot. There is a full bar, but we were informed right away that the tap wasn't working. Although there are 4 flavors of margaritas -a common item at Mexican restaurants - getting one was very slow from the bar. The drink was ordered on being seated but meal had started by the time my drink came. The food special of the evening was ok -disappointingly , a chicken fajita I ordered came as flat strips of chicken (like bacon strips) over sautéed onions and a few peppers, but the flavor was ok. The serving size was ok. Service: 4/5 The server was pleasant and friendly -and apologized for how long the bar took to prepare a margarita. Ambience 3/5 - nice decor, clean But noise level made it hard to hear conversations at the table. The metal roof probably contributed to the noise level and it did look like there was wood decor added near the ceiling, possibly to help loudness. Location 4/5 -Easy drive from downtown Watkinsville, farther from Athens, 316, or a perimeter exit.
