    American Dream Cheeseburger (did not come with  condiments on it)
    Quincy P.

    Went here for dinner. Had the American Dream Cheeseburger with Tater Tots. The food was good. Our waitress was attentive considering they were busy at the time. Typical atmosphere for a bar/grill. If I'm ever in Athens again, I would dine here again. This spot was in walking distance of my hotel.

    I found this place to be worthy of five stars based on the food and drink, the service, and the ambiance at lunchtime. I ordered the BBQ Plate consisting of Pulled Pork, Coleslaw, Brunswick Stew, Texas Toast, and pickles. The plate is generously portioned, and you will not leave hungry. By the numbers: - Pulled Pork 5/5. A another Yelper mentioned, it has a nice Memphis style tanginess to it. - Coleslaw 5/5. I could not find any fault with the coleslaw. It was very good. - Brunswick Stew 4/5. It was good, but it just didn't grab me as much as the other food on the plate. I jazzed it up with some Texas Pete hot sauce. - Texas Toast 5/5. It was very good and nice to have on the plate as a counterbalance to the other items on the plate. - Pickles 5/5. The plate is served with a generous portion pickle slices. I don't know whether they make their pickles in house, but they were good in any event. I washed it all down with a Makers Mark rocks and a Classic City Lager, as one does. The service was excellent from start to finish. My server, Erin, did a great job and helped make the meal very enjoyable. The ambience is nice. It's a roomy, casual come as you are place, but I wouldn't show up looking like a slob. Cheers!

    Stopped in for lunch. I got the cheeseburger with bacon. It was excellent with all fresh ingredients. Our server was professional and kind. The place was busy for well managed. It was missing music.

    Hot Healthy Mama plate

    Had lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised with the food for a chain. The wings were good, as was the fish in the hot healthy mama plate. The piggy melt was flavorful and the pickles gave it a nice crunch. Our waitress was helpful and attentive once she arrived which took about 10 minutes. Turned out she wasn't informed she had our table, but that was the only negative of our experience.

    LONG ISLAND ICE TEA Had me on my booty. This drink was super strong and I appreciate everything about it. I've heard for a few years how good the drinks were at the Blind Pig and I super agree with everyone who knows what they know. You enjoy nice and strong libations??? Man come out!!!!! Right now!!! You are welcome!

    We decided to give the Blind Pig Tavern a try for lunch after our daughter and son-in-law recommended it. Well the food was delicious. I had the cheeseburger, fries and a cup of chili. My better half had the Flaming Cyrus, our daughter had the small nachos, our son in law had the chicken quesadilla and everyone enjoyed their meal. The grandson gave a thumbs up to the kids fingers. For appetizers we tried the fried mushrooms, cheese sticks along with chips and salsa. All three were spot on. We had really good service throughout the meal from Victoria S, so I am glad to recommend you give the Blind Pig Tavern if you already haven't.

    - Loved my fried mushrooms but Today The costumer service was simply not there. My drink was generous alcohol wise but not colorful tasty buu to that. Okay place. I like the restaurant set-up. Must have coins to park near by, nice place, good southern friendly costumer service, good for groups and also cozy for couples. Drinks are okay, but great atmosphere.

    My experience was ok. The bartender took my order in an orderly fashion, my food was hot and fresh. I would recommend people eat here.

    The Road House is a quite excellent roomy dive bar located in downtown Athens…read more It has a split personality. During the day, it's mostly grown up townies and the occasional grown up tourist like me. At night, especially late night, it's PACKED with UGA kids, which it was when I ventured there on my first night in town on a Monday night after navigating the Atlanta airport and the long drive to Athens in a rental from there. The bartender on duty when I went during the day was great. She was friendly and knows her craft. Bartending is a lot more than pouring drinks. I will go so far as to say the pouring and making of drinks is almost incidental to the craft, which means maintaining a safe, fun, and welcoming atmosphere that makes people want to come back all while pouring and making drinks, running tabs, ringing up orders, handling old schoolers like me who pay and tip in cash as they go, washing glasses, and so forth. The prices are more than reasonable. For instance, during happy hour (2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.) my usual order of a Makers rocks and a good beer was $10.50. Off happy hour it would be $12.50, which is still more than reasonable in my experience. I will certainly stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

Locals know it well -it's been serving the neighborhoods around Normaltown for decades-and it looks the part., Food: 5 stars for their Cincinnati-style chili on French fries , by the bowl, or with hotdogs. Sandwiches are always good size and tasty. We like their Reuben and Rachel as well as the various BLT's. Food is a strong point. Service : Staff are very pleasant and the service is quick. Facility: 2- star (Sorry-but it's true) Old interior, but they have attempted to keep it serviceable. The bathrooms are a good reason to use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands, IMHO. Lots of various beer cans for decor. Location: Very conveniently located on main thoroughfare just outside Athens in Normaltown between the hardware store and the Mexican restaurant. A few parking spaces on the street, more in the rear.

The fries are hand cut and perfectly seasoned. Last time I was here, I had their chili and I will admit, it's better than mine! That's saying a lot! Great beer selection of local brews. The staff behind the bar is very friendly and attentive. The only downside is that parking is not great with street parking is the only option. It was worth circling the block a few times before I got a spot! Can't wait to try another one of their awesome comfort food specialties!

He lives in the area(ish) and recommended Trappeze Pub as a soliding dining option that is also very close to the venue and, having had a meal there, I can now corroborate that assessment. The space is quite big which made it super easy for us to grab a table. We were seated in a section of the restaurant with a bunch of booths so it was nice to have a quieter space where we could catch up with our friend and have a nice meal. For my dish I went with the grilled cheese BLT (muenster cheese with bacon, tomato, arugula and lemon thyme vinaigrette grilled on sourdough) and fries and I quite liked it! Nothing fancy but it was good and and I would absolutely try it again. Currently rocking the sober life so I can't speak to their beer line up personally but the menu did look quite robust! And as someone not drinking I must also recommend their root beer. Great casual spot perfect for a bite, a hang, or all of the above when hanging out around town.
