Blind Pig Tavern is exactly what our family needed after a long day of traveling from Southern…read moreCalifornia. Athens is the first stop of an SEC college tour for my high school girls and after getting screwed by Avis giving us a lame-ass minivan rather than the Jeep that I reserved and our hotel being below Hilton standards (despite being a Hilton), a good, enjoyable dinner is what we were looking for. Compounding this issue was the fact that it was Valentine's Day on a Saturday night; for the record, VD is the absolute worst day in the world for guys. Most restaurants had waits of 45+ minutes and our appetites simply weren't in a position to cooperate with such a delay. We stumbled across Blind Pig Tavern and we immediately felt welcome. The staff was great, my spicy margaritas hit the spot and our food was A+. I went with the blackened fish sandwich and it had great flavor and it wasn't heavy. My girls enjoyed their salads and the nacho appetizer was devoured in five minutes flat. The best experience of our evening at Blind Pig Tavern was Mattie, our server. Not only was she friendly and engaging, but she has earned the title of the "Best Athens, Georgia Ambassador... Ever!" Her knowledge about the town she's grown up in and advocacy for attractions on and off the UGA campus was more than appreciated. Her livelihood and pride of her hometown and customer engagement has easily earned her this official/unofficial title! Please check out Blind Pig Tavern for some great eats and, if you're lucky, you may have Mattie as your server. And if you're from out of town, she'll immediately make you feel right at home.

Nice sports pub with good food and casual ambience…read more Food: The food is very good for this type of restaurant -casual not fancy. Met friends for lunch. Tried several types of burgers and sandwiches. Burgers were done as requested/ sides were good. Onion rings are fried-not the frozen and baked kind like some places. Slaw is good and fresh. But friend said the black beans were good-not overcooked and mushy. The fries were crisp. The sandwiches were on toasted bread and were tasty. Service: Servers were pleasant and helpful. Facility: Old but well maintained. Location: Conveniently located in a large strip mall with lots of parking. Other restaurants , grocery stores, etc nearby.

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!!

This place has received unjust reviews. We dinned here on a whim while driving north from Florida…read more It is a gem! Service A+ thanks to Max. 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.

Good sized wings, covered in hot sauce, Super crispy. Good ranch too. Thanks Maddie and Sam for the good service.

He was quick to call us back when we were initially searching for a location and stayed just as responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process.

They gave us plenty of time to set up beforehand, which made a huge difference, and the space itself was perfect for hosting. Our clients loved the atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious.

My husband and I visited Porterhouse Grill for our anniversary. We experienced outstanding customer…read moreservice, and the cocktails and steak were amazing. Our waitress was attentive, and she made the best cocktails. The mashed potatoes, the crème brûlée, and the cheesecake were good. My husband loved the garlic bread, but I thought it was too salty. I did not love the steamed veggies. I felt they were overcooked and over-seasoned. I would have had a better experience if my reservation note had been considered for where we were sited. It was a special occasion for my husband and me, and we were sat at the first table from the entrance, in front of the bar, when the restaurant only had seven guests. It was cold outside, and every time the door opened, I felt the wind come in. We were sited immediately next to another couple, and it was a table set for four people when it was a date for two. I understand the need to make a reservation, but why would the restaurant ask what the occasion is if the staff will not consider a special setup for the occasion? Porter House Grill gets a 5 out of 5 because it is a steakhouse, and their steaks are absolutely delicious. Additionally, their cocktails are amazing, and Customer Service was terrific, Porter House does not have a private parking lot; consider bringing quarters for street parking, or you may use a parking garage nearby. Cons: Porter House does not consider your reservation notes to make a guest's special occasion memorable.

Our experience at Porterhouse Grill was disappointing from beginning to end…read more When we arrived, our waitress commented that it was "really busy for a Tuesday." The restaurant was bustling, but there were still empty tables and an unused back section. Regardless, the restaurant appeared overwhelmed by the customers it did have. Upon entering, I noticed an old, aged smell and visible black/brown grease or grime buildup on the vent hood near the kitchen pass-through. Our appetizers were fine. The problems began with our entrées. About 30 minutes after ordering, we were told several steaks we'd ordered weren't available and had to change our orders. Approximately ANOTHER 30 minutes later, we were told additional steak selections were unavailable, requiring more changes. One person attempted to order surf and turf but was told to order a steak and add lobster instead. The lobster add-on alone was approximately $70, yet what arrived wasn't an identifiable lobster tail--it was pieces placed over the steak. Based on the size and taste, the person who ordered it compared it more to crayfish and questioned whether it was actually lobster. Service was extremely disorganized. FIVE different people checked on our table while our actual waitress appeared to disappear for over an hour. Eventually everyone received food except one person. We learned his meal had apparently been delivered to a table seated after us. After approximately an hour without food, something was finally brought to him--but it STILL WASN'T HIS ORDER. He was apparently given the other table's meal instead. By then everyone else had eaten, and his food ended up being taken to go. When our waitress was asked about his missing meal, she simply said it would be out in a minute and was very nonchalant. That attitude continued throughout dinner. When asked why online menu pricing differed from the restaurant, she casually said the online information was outdated and being updated. At another point, water was spilled at our table without even an "excuse me." When someone in our party clearly had questions about the bill, she repeatedly walked by without addressing him. She was eventually given the card for payment and never returned. After approximately 15 minutes, he had to go to the front and pay with someone else. We also watched similar problems happen around us. A nearby table sat unattended for approximately 45 minutes before a waiter apologized and admitted he hadn't told anyone they were there. After finally ordering drinks, one woman received something different because an employee had apparently decided to make her a different drink instead. Another waitress later apologized and offered to make what she'd actually ordered. We saw other customers waiting without food, drinks, or attention, and some eventually left. We could also hear confusion between staff and the kitchen about which orders should or shouldn't be prepared. Porterhouse Grill isn't inexpensive, and the price tag should fit the delivery. This wasn't one isolated mistake. It was repeated unavailable items, long waits, incorrect orders, absent and dismissive service, visible disorganization, and problems affecting multiple tables throughout the evening. The appetizers were fine. Unfortunately, almost everything that followed was not.
