    This was my first time visiting Chuck's Fish and I was not disappointed. We came on a Friday and there was a wait, but we were able to grab some seats at the bar within 15 minutes. The sever immediately came to wipe down our area and we ordered some drinks. I ordered the Guava Sour since I prefer gin drinks, and my friend ordered the espresso martini. I've heard their Espresso Martinis are really good, so I'll have to try it. Next we ordered appetizers and then our sushi. Everything was delicious and I would love to visit again.

    Tongue thaid kinda small

    Overpriced, slow service, and the outside is filled with gnats. The tongue thaid cocktail is $18 and very small

    I got the guava sour, soft-shell crab roll, and tuna poke. Honestly my hopes were high because this is an athens classic but I was a bit disappointed. The drink was fabulous - perfect balance between sweet and tart! I was excited to try the sushi but the soft-shell crab roll was a bit too salty and I wish there were some other flavors. I really enjoyed the poke until I found a small piece of steel in it. Unsure of what it was. The service was great but this is not the place you want to be at if you're starving. After we put in our food order I believe it took them an hour to get our food out but I will say we were in a group of 10. It's a beautiful place as well and very elegant I just wish the food matched.

    Bronzed grouper was good and $40.

    I like Chuck's, used to go to the original in Tuscaloosa all the time. The Athens Chucks is located in the old bus terminal on Broad Street. Had a nice meal my first stop in. Got the "bronzed" gulf fish (grouper) at Market price was $40. It was delicious. I also ordered a rainbow sushi roll. It was just okay. Noticed a lot of patrons were ordering sushi. Try the cooked fish instead!

    This is a good spot. Albeit an expensive spot. I know you're paying for the ambience and the decoration and just getting in there and the location and that adds money to the bottom line. Food is very fresh. The flavors are excellent even the seaweed salad was delicious We had several dishes and started with the calamari it was very flavorful and crispy it tarred like it was dipped in rice flour so it was crunchy but not doughy The dressing over it was delicious We had several roles and a couple of drinks The bill was definitely excessive for the city of Athens - I have heard they do or used to do a happy sushi hour in the past

    Sushi was INCREDIBLE! Came back to Chucks the next time we were visiting Athens and it was equally as good.

    My absolute favorite restaurant in Athens, GA!! It has a friendly atmosphere perfect for a nice meal with friends or a date. The have regular entrees as well as a full sushi menu! For a higher end restaurant, the sushi is a great price. I prefer their entrees over the sushi, but you cannot go wrong either way. I have never had a bad experience here & highly recommend it to everybody! *Parking is downtown athens street parking* Cup of Gulf Seafood Gumbo ($8): 10/10 Not typically a gumbo person because they usually have pork sausage in them which I don't eat, but this one is strictly seafood & veggies! It has the perfect spice level & flavor for the cup & I also love that they serve it with the rice on top & not underneath! Chicken Scaloppine ($25): 10/10 Can't even put into words how much I love this dish. The gnocchi & chicken is cooked to perfection & the cream sauce being the perfect addition. I have ordered this almost every single time I have gone & never been disappointed.

    Now I've always came to Chuck's for their sushi so I decided to switch it up today for my last Chuck's visit before I move out my apartment :( The shrimp and chorizo fettuccine was delicious! Such a filling portion with ample amount of shrimp and fettuccine to go with it. Chuck's all around is such a great restaurant and will definitely be a visit whenever I'm back in town!

A chaotic period, and when my brother and/or I were in town to help out with these exhausting and time-consuming tasks, finding quick, reasonably priced, somewhat healthy, and hopefully tasty food was challenging indeed. I unfortunately didn't discover Maepole until 2025, but it nicely ticked off those boxes. Maepole is basically a "fast casual," Southern-inflected "bowl" place, with a much heavier emphasis on the nutritious and fresh than is typical of traditional Southern cooking. You start with a base, just like at Chipotle or Cava--greens, sweet potatoes, or quinoa, etc.--and top with veggies or salads, and, if you prefer a protein, you can add chicken, pork, or tofu. Or you can just go full-on veggie plate. Top with a flavorful sauce; my favorites were the spicy avocado and lemon herb. My general impression of the food quality was that it wasn't quite at the five-star level some of the time--veggies weren't always cooked to perfection, for instance--but the general experience and value, as well as the bold flavors, argue for bumping this rating up to five stars. Plus, every time I think about Maepole, I sure wish my current city had an option like it.

The food: I went with the Fried Chicken Blue Plate. Between the regular and the Nashville Hot, the Nashville was the winner--flavorful and moist without being overwhelming with the spice. Huge shoutout to my server for suggesting the brussel sprouts; that glaze is incredible and they were easily my favorite part of the plate. The mashed sweet potatoes were unique--I'm still debating if I liked them or loved them. The jalapeño cornbread was a bit sweet for my taste but on par with most restaurant cornbread. The mac & cheese wasn't bad, but also didn't do much for me like most restaurant mac & cheese. The cocktail: Do not sleep on Nana's Naissance. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ingredients, but it's like an elevated take on Rumchata. The service: I was seated at the bar and experienced a noticeable delay--a group that arrived well after me almost finished their meal before mine arrived. However, the waitress acknowledged the wait before I even had to mention it and made things right. I really appreciate that kind of proactive service. We're all human, and they handled the situation very professionally.

I actually attended UGA but I had never heard of this place before - perhaps because the prices aren't super college student-friendly, but I thought it was a nice local restaurant. They have several different kinds of chicken salad prepared, and I got the grape chicken salad in a sandwich. I don't think the bread is freshly-made but it was really good toasted. I selected a side of noodles which were also really tasty, which you can add peanuts to if you'd like but I opted not to. I also heard them talking about all sorts of desserts that they had made fresh that day. The entrance is really small so it might be easy to miss. They have tons of seating available so I'm sure you'd be fine if you brought a large group. They do also have internet but you have to ask them for the password. Note that I don't think this would be a good place to eat right now if you're trying to be cautious about COVID - no one's wearing masks and the food is out in the open.
