This blind pig location is okay in a pinch, but temper your expectations. Our first time visiting here the food was fresh and cooked well. I had wings that were delicious and my partner had a burger that was cooked nicely medium rare. Since then, we've gone back several times and the food has consistently been overcooked and dried out--regardless of what was ordered. I finally tried a burger last time I was there and it was almost inedible it was so overcooked. The most well done burger I've probably ever had when I ordered it medium rare. I'm not sure if they changed cooks since our first visit or if we just got lucky that first time but burgers and chicken are DEFINITELY not something to order here. The wings are good and the fried pickles are fantastic. Those are the only things that would make us return to this location. I live almost across the street but would probably choose to go to another blind pig or another restaurant entirely over this one unless I want wings. read more

There are a few Blind Pigs in Athens, and this one is the closest to my apartment. I went on a Tuesday night which is trivia night. It seemed busy, and the guy leading trivia night is pretty funny. We were seated pretty fast, and were able to order quickly too. I ordered the Fat Matt with LTO and pickled, small deluxe nachos, and the rueben sandwich. The rueben was crispy, warm, and flavorful, and I enjoyed it especially for my first time ever trying it. The food also took around 5 minutes to come out after we ordered. Service was good, and I would definitely recommend people to come here!! read more

After a long day of moving our son in his apartment we were glad to find this place. We were seated right away and the place was full. It was trivia night. We ordered the Philly in a wrap and added bacon. With a side of tots. The food came out quick and tasted really good. It was a bit on the pricey side with having to pay extra for a side. Since it didn't come with the wrap. It came out to about $16 for the wrap with tots. I would go back I really liked the wrap. read more

Permanently Closed due to new Kroger and upcoming demolition. Thanks for the memories, gang.

The food is low quality bar food. Thursday night was supposed to be $0.90 cents wings on the website but they stop. So I paid $14 for 8 wings. Elvis burger was so SO spicy it tasted really bad. Fries were salted with terrible spicy seasoning without notifying. We won't return when in Athens. read more

Went here after the National Championship Celebration. I am disabled and it is obvious. Had a blonde waitress carrying food yell at me to get out of her way, I was standing against the half-wall leading to the bar area. After almost hitting me in the head with her food tray and causing me to stumble and almost fall down the steps, she yelled at me again. I apologized and tried to get out of her way. We made it to the bar area and while standing at the bar, the same waitress yelled at me that I couldn't stand or sit there. I again apologized. She turned around and yelled at me again that I couldn't sit or stand there. At this point, I advised her we would leave and she said fine. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Bet management doesn't care. Bet if I had fallen down those steps because of her they would have. Have no reviews of the food because we left and went to Loco's. We were treated exceptionally at Loco's and the food was AWESOME!!! Don't waste your time with the rude people at Blind Pig Tavern on College Station!!!!!! read more

I've frequented Blind Pig at the other locations over the years. This location (the second time we did business here) just doesn't seem consistent. I was attempting to phone an order in for pickup while my husband was out. A female answered & immediately placed me on hold. Held seven minutes without her returning, I hung up. Never could get back through, line stayed busy. They were not busy at all. I don't think we'll return to this location now. To add to the service issue, it's extremely clicky with just some neighborhood folks. And that's fine, we love our neighborhood bars too. But the service just isn't there. The waitresses were too busy going for more shots before they left for the day. The food is just ok. We liked the burgers. But, fair warning, everything is over the top SALTY. If you're ok with bar food, that basically is what it is at best. The downtown location has MUCH better food. read more

Blind Pig Tavern - Our ticket for two burgers and a beer while waiting. - American Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Nice outdoor dining at this sports bar, even on chilly days. Easily identified by the large pig on the roof of the outdoor patio. They offer an outdoor ping-pong table and cornhole games in warm weather. They also evening drink specials during the week and on weekends. Food: 5/5. Although they offer usual sports bar food and drinks, we like this one because it offers options for inside and outside dining and the food is consistently good. Its menu is larger than some similar restaurants in this area, with soups salads Wings and hamburgers as well as other sandwiches. The sides they offer are also good. We enjoy cole slaw on hot days and sweet potato tots or stew or black beans or french fries on cooler days. I Service:; 5/5. Servers are consistently pleasant and efficient. They refill drinks without having to be chased down. Whether you are inside or outside, they come around and check several times during your meal to make sure everything is going well and to offer to get anything you need. Location 5/5 The restaurant is conveniently located at the corner of a strip mall so it has an easy entrance and there is adequate parking in the lot. It isn't downtown but it is on one of the main roads outside the downtown area, Is near to the university (easily assessable by bus) and near other restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in the strip mall. Facility: 4:5 The facility isn't new but it's fairly well kept up and they do offer indoor and outdoor eating. The outdoor patio has tables which are socially distanced. Not all of the servers wear masks. read more

Drinks were not good. food was ok the atmosphere was nice. Sat and watched a game. Waitress did not come around often, went long periods of time with no drinks and it wasn't really that busy. They had two to three empty tables at all time with no one waiting. read more

Great location. Fastest serve ever I have in years. Your order on table less than 5 minutes. Awesome. Cozy outdoors. No parking cost like Athens downtown. read more

Blind Pig Tavern - Burgers, tots, fried pickles, beer, and a whole lotta yum! - American Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Went for dinner 1/3/2023. Food was great. Service was great - Gena was server. Music SUCKED. This is not the type of establishment that should have head-banging acid rock blaring from the speakers. Asked server if it could be changed and she asked if country would be good. I replied yes. She went to the bar and a country music song came on. Then we hear yell from the bar area "country music sucks". Assume it was the male bartender. After that yell music went back to acid rock. Managers and/or owners. Please set guidelines for the music that should be played in the restaurant. If I walk in again and hear that music I will walk out immediately. And visit another restaurant. Would have been 5 star review if not been for the music incident. read more

Came here on a weekday night and seated right away. Server was friendly and attentive. Food came out hot and fresh. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and it was loaded with cheese and bread was crispy. read more

LISTEN, If I wanted to deal with crappy attitudes, I'll go here. Placing a to go order has never brought me a bigger headache than my experience here. One to go order than included fries and wings and a side of attitude from the wait staff. There are plenty of places in Athens to spend my money, no need to go to a place where the staff is rude on the phone AND in person. Blonde/brunette, short, and Works behind the bar on Georgia game day Saturdays. read more

This location is so much better than the one downtown. The food is better, fresher, the atmosphere is much better along with the service. I waited for 2 hours for my food at the other location versus it took 8 minutes for my food to come out at this one. Great vibe and yes it gets busy but you usually can squeeze in at the bar or outside. Great drink selection too, love this place! Their fried pickles are amazing & that's always a test of a restaurants quality for me :) read more

This bar has got to be the most poorly managed place in Athens. I have now visited both the East Side location and the Broad Street location (which I already reviewed). This review if of the east Side location. The restrooms were gross. The toilet wouldn't flush in the women's room and the men's room was dirty. The manager spent most of his time flirting with the waitresses, which might explain why he didn't make them wear their masks correctly or that they wore them only when approaching the customers (not when they were pooping beer or bringing out food). The food was fine, but I was scared to eat it because of the risk of COVID and the fact that in the two hours we were there, the bartenders didn't once was their hands (though one of them did braid the hair of the other one). I will NEVER visit any of the restaurants again. read more

blind pig is always a great option for lunch or dinner. it's convenient with 3 locations in athens, always good service and good food!! I always get the fat Matt burger and it hits the spot every time. The Brunswick stew is also a must try!!! Blind pig is a place you must go atleast once! read more

Best place in town. Sam is the coolest. The wings are good. he place is consistent and always on point what else do you want? You can eat with family and staff is friendly. If it's off season.... they don't give AF about you, your business, your company, what you do for the town or county... basically.... it's a titty bar with no tears, fears, or time for daddy issues..... if you are an outsider, they will quickly pick you out, take your money and make fun of you for not knowing when or where the best place to get tacos exist.... basically.... it's a a Bunch of Star belly sneeches who only smile during the school year..... I'm good with never going back here ever again... will they be good with me never going back? read more

Best Trivia- Best wings. Great patio during warm weather. Very local feel. TVs so you can watch a game here. read more

I like the wings here, the dry rub is my favorite! If your into it check out Wednesday for drink specials.

Had a business lunch here today based on my colleagues suggestion. Excellent food. We ate on the patio. It was spacious and had corn hole games, ping pong table and other entertainment to keep patrons happy while there. Wait staff were prompt and attentive. I had the piggy melt & fries. It was yummy! We didn't order anything from the bar, but the menu was very extensive. I'll go back next time in town. read more

If I could give a zero I would. I travel all over the country and I have NEVER had a worse experience that I had tonight at the Eastside Athens, GA location. I have been eating at the Blind Pig for over 20 years and over the last 3 years it has deteriorated substantially. Our group of 4 ordered our "normal" there expecting at least decent bar food. I will let my other group members express their opinion but I will address my own. I ordered a beer, my normal appetizers, fried mushrooms and fried pickles and some chili nachos for the group. My beer was warm, they claimed a "game day" menu so no mushrooms. The nachos had 4, exactly 4 full chips! The rest were crumbled into small pieces at the bottom. The pickles, which I have had at ALL locations were under cooked and soggy when they brought them. The tater tots w the burgers were cold In short it was unbelievably bad. I asked to speak w the manager and the COOK came out and said he was the manager! He said since we had touched the nachos and pickles we had to pay for them. Never have I seen such unprofessional action from a "manager." I told him I had been coming to the restaurant for years and had never had such terrible food. We threw our money down FOR THE ENTIRE CHECK but he followed us out to our car threatening us. Unreal. I will speak to corporate about it but this restaurant needs to just go away. read more

I haven't been back in months, because despite coming here for the last couple years and generally being satisfied with the food (as decent bar food) and atmosphere, the last four times, over the course of a couple months, service was terrible-slow, unfriendly, mistakes, you name it-and the food was greasy, salty, lukewarm. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt (see above-four chances!) but the last time was the last straw. Won't be back unless I hear a miracle has happened. read more

We started out enjoying our meals here, but tonight when I ordered a pitcher of frozen margaritas, I was informed by a very snotty manager that "we've never had a blender and we have no plans to buy one". When I pointed out there were, at least, six other restaurants within walking distance that would be happy to accommodate that order, she basically said "who cares" and blew us off. Well, heck, if she doesn't want our business that badly, I would feel remiss if I didn't give her just that, and spend our money elsewhere. After all... I'd hate to force her to actually provide customer service. Lord knows what that might do to the poor woman. I recommend that anyone who's looking for a smart ass condescending asshole to provide mediocre service come here to eat. I, however, will spend my money where it is appreciated and I am treated as someone of value. read more

I ordered a veggie burger off of postmates, and when it was delivered and I bit into it, it wasn't a veggie burger but rather a beef burger. I immediately called and spoke to the manager, and he was very helpful and understanding. He said that since they do not work through postmates, they commonly have errors such as this on the postmates app. He kindly offered me a refund/new burger. Jeffrey (i think his name was) was the manager at the time, and I really appreciate his excellent customer service. read more

This is one of those places that contributed to Covid spread. You could easily tell every night because they would have tons of people packed in there without masks on read more

Well Eating at the bar, which is what I love to do. Music is great. Food was delivered fast and it was good. The bartender was very attentive and good. I will be back. Since the music is so good Im giving it 4 stars Seems like it has a regular crowd. read more

Hard pass for me. I order the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich for almost 11 dollars, if I wanted a microwaved sandwich with soggy bread I could have saved myself about 8 bucks and bought something from Kroger. Nasty, I won't be back. read more

Blind Pig Tavern - One of our favorite bars in Athens. - American Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Food was okay. Our server Sarah was not kind to us. She walked away when I was mid ordering and wouldn't let us complete sentences even. She gave us the check in the middle of our meal which we had drinks and we're debating on asking what the desert special was. Ultimately we felt like we got kicked out. We were also trying to split our check but she wouldn't come back to take the bill she placed on our table mid dinner. I probably won't be back. read more

Today I went to College Station Road and ordered our meal. I spent the extra $2 to get a salad with my meal instead of fries and when we got our bill, there was a $.65 charge that the waitress didn't tell us about because I wanted an extra dressing. I asked the waitress why there's a sixty-five cent charge and she said because they charged for the extra dressing. Nowhere in the sides section does it say there is a charge, only in the wings section. I asked to speak to the manager, Sarah and when she came and I told her the situation she told us that there was nothing that she could do and that the servers would get in trouble if they didn't charge. The manager left and when I gave the waitress the my bill where I told her that I would just take it outta the tip and she gave me an attitude. I got the manager again and we said we weren't going to be back and her response was "you're not gonna back for $.65?" Our response was we've been coming here for several years and you would be losing a customer that has been spending at least $15/20 for several years. The food is prettt good, but with not being told about the extra fee up front and not taking it off the bill when we realized that there was a extra expense. After years of being a loyal customer, you've just lost that and we won't be back. There are plenty of places to eat around and people seem to forget that the customer doesn't need the business, the business needs the customer! Have a nice day. read more

Came here for World Cup a bit ago and they refused to put on the audio- even when the majority of the crowd was there for the game. First they said it was "too complicated" then said they only did it for UGA and Falcons games. Which one is it? Either way, you're a sports bar- figure it out. read more
