Athens is a college town and the restaurants on Court Street, the main drag through town where…read moreuniversity and town come together, primarily cater to those 18-22. It means there are burritos and pizza galore. And fast Asian. Mr. Hibachi is in that tradition and they are efficient in part by having a veritable army of folks working quickly to keep up with a brisk takeaway business. There are dining-in options but that isn't their primary focus. If you do want to eat in, there are 3 tables in the busy front section that can accommodate 4 or five folks. Then there is a string of high tops for 2 that run down the length of the skinny store. So we mostly do take-out drawing on both the straight forward sushi options or hibachi options. Lots of both with no big surprises. But portions are generous and prices reasonable. Favs in my family are the shrimp hibachi that you can substitute lo mien noodles for white or fried rice for a small mark up. I'm partial to the sashimi combo that won't be confused for high end fish but the slices are thick and the dish is filling and a good deal since it is under $20 and comes with miso and a generous fried rice portion. If you get a big order ie 2 bags instead of one for takeaway, be sure to check your order and make sure you have both bags. They have a lot of orders to fill so a couple of times I wasn't paying attention and left without one of the bags. In one case I did get a call quickly from the store asking me to come back and pick it up. A couple times there was a missing side (yum yum sauce for the hibachi) or side of fried rice. So as always, can't hurt to check to make sure everything is there. One final feature to point out. I really like the ability to order online for and choose a later time for pickup. This approach works well for bringing home dinner right after class or a workout. Given how busy they can get when the students are in town, this feature is often wise to use.

The line looked long on a Friday night but there were lots of pickup orders and they moved fast…read more The steak and chicken hibachi was delicious, it was a large serving that included veggies too. I also got the Spicy Girl roll and loved it. Plenty of tables to grab a seat, if you're looking to eat there. I'm kinda craving it now after writing this so I'll be going back soon for sure!

The food is ALWAYS on point with very generous servings, and the food is by far the very best Chinese food I have ever had. I always highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to the area, and know some people travel over an hour to eat here. It's not a fancy place, but it is a staple to our community and I simply cannot imagine not having their food, or wonderful family in our town.

They've been slingin' chicken for decades from Miller's on the West Side of Athens. They have a…read moremorning crowd of people who work with their hands loading up on breakfast sandwiches and then a steady stream until the 7pm close. So don't get a hankering for the best chicken tenders (each one is essentially a whole flattened breast) or the more old school offerings like fried hearts, gizzards, or livers. You can get those in bulk and you might ask who would ever...? My high school crew does once a year when the loser of our previous year's fantasy football league caters the next year's draft, that's who. The reason to go is the fried chicken but you can order skinless if you want to behave. They also sell biscuits and multiple sizes of cole slaw, mashed potatoes and gravy, and potato salad. You can dine in at one of probably ten tables and a surprising number of people do. But for me it is about a bucket and some sides for a picnic or that quick decision when plans to make dinner at home go sideways. Parking for 10 or so cars available in front and it is rarely full for long if at all. As a college town, Athens' restaurant scene typically caters to the students. And Miller's is definitely student friendly. But while the students flock to the latest thing (new Cane's on Court Street) the locals know that Miller's is Athens true chicken king. The family business has earned loyalty over the generations. And just know, if you are back in Athens looking for some chicken nostalgia in late summer, make sure you don't land on County Fair Week in August. That is the one week a year they are closed at Miller's.

Salaam is fine dining in Athens but that doesn't mean the pretension that term typically conveys…read more The Mediterranean cuisine delivers what you would want - hummus, baba ganoush appetizer or mezza plate combos. I typically opt for the grilled lamb chops (generous portion) or the lamb kebab. You can also get wraps if the full dinner portion, usually with grilled vegetables and a rice pilaf or french fries choice, is too much. If you are a cold tea person, the Moroccan Mint Iced Tea is a favorite for sure and it is endless. Good wine and local beers selection. A number of the waiters have been there for years and really know the place, the patrons, and the vibe. Annie's Salad is great, just wish it was included as an option for the entrees as it used to be pre-COVID. Lovely ambiance and decorations. Big room and can at times get a little loud but still feels intimate at your table in the non-standard shaped room with pillars, screens, and nooks breaking it into smaller de facto sections.

The ambiance is inviting, with simple but incredibly well placed decoration throughout. And the scent of grilled meat walking up to the door.... I don't even remember waiting for the table, just sitting down and tearing into pita bread. The hummus has character, the tzatziki? Finally! Enough dill! Remember that real Mediterranean olives have pits - this is important for dental work! The shawarma and gyros graced our table, and we're a memory before too long. They are fine dining, so the price is a little higher on the entrées than I normally go for, but it's worth every penny no doubt. Delicious.

The service was also pretty good and super friendly. The creekside location and large tables made the place feel like a southern backwater fish house. 95/100 from me! I wanted to try the pecan pie but the portions were massive. Next time and Ill give them the 100/100!

I asked if the quesadillas were good and what they came with and he told me marinara sauce. They are very young and inexperienced, so just be patient as they learn. My friend ordered a chicken and rice dinner and loved it. To be on the safe side, I ordered a cheeseburger and it was really good. Good size patty, and nice and juicy. Came with fries, which are from a frozen bag, but they were still decent. We ordered fried mushrooms, as well. It came with a weird sauce that doesn't go with the mushrooms, but I just asked for ranch dressing instead, but they were good. I don't believe there was fountain pop available, but there's a cooler with drinks in it. Not sure if they serve alcohol. Atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, however, I understand that they were strictly going to be for pick up only but recently changed that to eating in as well. There are a few tables that are 4-tops and then some round tables in the middle that seat about 6. I was quite surprised that the prices were as high as they were. I probably would not go back again, but I would order the burger to go. I really hope this place makes it and that maybe they can start advertising to some of the tourist coming into Logan even though it's a bit of a drive for them. It's a good restaurant for the area.
