I visited last night and unfortunately did not have a good experience. I ordered the Smashburger with tater tots and became physically ill shortly after eating. I had to leave the restaurant abruptly. My friend's pizza also seemed underprepared. I have emailed the office manager to share the details and hope they will take the feedback seriously. I'm not looking to be dramatic -- just hoping quality and food preparation can be reviewed so this doesn't happen to someone else. read more

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.

Very tasty food here for bar food! The chicken tender in my wrap was so delicious with the Honey BBQ sauce! Great fries and ranch, lots of homemade sauces! It wasn't busy when I went, but I'm sure the ambiance would be super fun on a game day! read more

This is a great little place to stop in and is super casual. Great atmosphere that is clean with staff that is super friendly. The food was absolutely awesome and the beer selection was phenomenal! We had a table of 17 people and we were all served within 20 minutes. Check this place out as it appears to be a staple for Athens Georgia. read more

Food and service were excellent. Sorry management, I won't be back because there is a 3.5% uplift on patrons with a credit card. I give kudos for putting it right on the menu next to the menu item price. Still, it is an inexcusable practice and stops with the businesses I patronize. read more

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. read more

Blind Pig Tavern - American Dream Cheeseburger (did not come with condiments on it) - Dive Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

We came on a Wednesday at 1:00pm. We were not greeted by our server until 1:20. Once we ordered the food came out pretty quickly. Our server never came back to check on us, multiple people walked past and never offered us more drinks or ask about our food. After being finished for about 25 minutes we finally got her attention and asked for our check... she said "oh umm yea". Would not recommend if you are in a hurry or get annoyed easily by the lack of common sense. Also a girl who was running food/bussing was so rude towards the host/busser. The host (short reddish hair and tattoos) was extremely nice, helped every server by pre bussing tables, and greeted everyone with a smile! Kudos to her for being a good person! read more

Even though a few hundred of us crashed the bar and the sold out of a lot of stuff, the food was delicious and the bar didn't run dry. CVMA nationals 2025. read more

Got the Blind Fat Pig (wrap) with fries. The fries were extremely good, well seasoned and crispy; the wrap was great but could've been a bigger portion. Total: $15.65. Not bad. read more

Here for a conference. Great place to come for a drink and the food is really good. Staff was hospitable, attentive, and just great to hang out with. read more

Had limited "game day" menu day before game day. I understand the concept, but call it what it is. I asked for the Ruben and was told that if the kitchen was in a "good mood" they might make it; what the heck?! The kitchen has a mood to serve a customer?? Will never return. read more

Always good food, I've been here probably 30+ times and it comes out hot and fresh every time the service is always great. I always recommend people to go here. read more

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! read more

Good food and good prices! Decent service but she was super busy. Loved the fried pickles

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. read more

You are welcome! read more

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. read more

- 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. read more

This my first time in Athens and I didn't know where to go for a quick lunch. I asked the front desk at the hotel and the recommended Bling Pig. It is less than a block from my hotel so I decide to give it a shot. I ordered the chicken Philly in a tortilla wrap, pasta salad, abs Sweetwater 420 Hazy IPA. LET ME TELL YOU-- that was the best chicken Philly I've ever had. If you've been to ale house and had theirs-- Blind Pig makes that taste like garbage! Pipping hot cheese, chunks of perfectly cooked chicken, and a slew of pepper and onion. YALL. go get it. Staff was super friendly and the place was quite clean! read more

Had a great craft beer and a quesadilla. Both were good. I would return again. Staff were very nice and attentive.

Crowd at the bar is really strange. They like to start rumors and gossip about people they don't know. My wife and I heard them talking about other patrons. Very sketchy. Service is hit or miss. Bartender threw a receipt at me once and got upset when I wanted a georgia game put on the tv. Need better staff here (for the most part) and definitely a different group around the bar. Weird place. read more

Stopped by here for lunch because I was craving chili and Yelp reviews of chili were good. We found a place to park right in front of the place. You have to pay for parking Monday through Saturday. We were seated and put in our drink order. My wife got a beer that she said was really cold in a pint glass just the way she likes it. I got the sweet tea. I ordered a bowl of chili and tater tots, and my wife got the mushroom and swiss burger with fries. The chili was served with a good amount of crackers. It was quite good and spicy. The tots fried perfectly. My wife enjoyed her burger and fries. Our waitress was quite nice and gave excellent service. Quite impressed with food and service. Hope to make it back. read more

We were there for 3 hours with multiple other folks on an outside table drinking beers and ordering food and when the servers changed shifts (our original server was awesome) the new server was offended when one of our crew said "thank goodness you're here -I've been needing a beer". Our crew was both male and female (and kids) but she refused to serve us after Ridiculous how this woke generation is but ruined a great day due to a sh**ty attitude that needs to grow up and realize real world Not sure worth going back if that is type of staff they use read more

I went in expecting cheap bar food bc of the menu photos on yelp. Sadly, I quickly realized the menu photos that I looked at were old. The attached photos are updated prices. The service was great, in fact we called ahead to ask about parking (am not from the area) and the hostess offered to go outside and check meters. Pro tip: there's free parking on Sunday's The food was not that great but the drink prices are worth returning for. The pulled pork (from the BBQ plate) was okay, but the Brunswick stew ruined my life. It gave me diarrhea. I regret purchasing the BBQ plate. Overall, this is a sports bar I would return to (for the drinks). While you're here drinking, you may get a feeling to get the food. Don't give in. It will ruIn your life. But, drink on! Oh, another thing: the booths hurt to sit on if you're there longer than 10 minutes. Do not recommend the booth seating read more

Are here for dinner last night. Only a bar food type guy and the wings were spot on. Had a good amount of heat for my liking. Bartender was very helpful in selecting drink and food items. I asked for local brews and she almost looked at me like I was crazy (in a good way). They have so many local beers available. Bar area was very clean and did not feel crammed as you do in some bars. Seats were spaced out and had the pub tables were all aligned very well for watching any game on the TVs. Good place. I will be back read more

Comfortable, clean, tasty. Good service. BBQ Plate has a great Memphis-style vinegary tinge to it.

Nice atmosphere and a fun place to watch the game. I got the Greek philly and thought it was good. Chose chili for my side but it wasn't my favorite. My buddy got the chicken nachos and said it was really good. If you want to watch a game and have some grub it's a good place to come. read more

Terribly loud and understaffed. When a place is this busy, you need a beer pretty fast!!! Bar food was just average. Maybe I am just getting old, it was just too much. read more

When I came to Blind Pig tavern I was expecting decent service and good food. However my experience there was one from hell... My roommate and I walked in to nobody at the host desk. We then waited for 5 minutes to be seated by the rude waitress who rolled her eyes at us for no reason. After being seated we were never tended to. We sat there for 30 minutes. The restaurant was not busy, we noticed all the employees chatting in the back and even tried waving one down to no avail. We were completely ignored. We had no choice but to leave after getting zero service for 30 minutes, not even waters. We will NEVER be returning. read more

We had a party of 6 and everyone was very satisfied with the food and drinks. Service was also very attentive. Not busy at all on a Monday evening. read more

Will never even attempt to eat at Blind Pig in Athens again. Took my son who is on a wheelchair in and the table the waitress attempted to seat us at was less than two feet away from the occupied tables on either side of it. We moved to a larger table where there was room for the wheelchair. The waitress asked us to move because they have to "reserve the eight top tables for larger parties". This place was packed out so there was not another option unless we sat outside in the 100 degree weather. Let me say again...I will NEVER attempt to go there again. read more
