    Cindy P.

    I had a crazy hankering for some good fried catfish, so I went online to a local group and asked for recommendations. A whole lot of people replied to me with suggestions from all over the area plus some that were not so close by One of the closest places was the one restaurant that was recommended repeatedly. Headed out a little past lunchtime today, hopefully to beat or to miss any crowds, I remembered on the way that our local newspaper does not put out a Monday edition so I decided to swing by the library and pick up a Flagpole magazine. I got all the way to the library before realizing that it's a Federal holiday and the library is closed. Very disappointing. I stopped at a convenient store on the way and picked up on Atlanta paper. I don't really like the Atlanta paper, they don't have the puzzles I like, and they don't have very many comics. I got to the restaurant and there were only two or three cars in the parking lot. I wasn't really surprised because it was almost 2 PM when I got there, so I didn't expect it to be very crowded. The server wasted no time getting me seated and gave me a table near the window, with plenty of light so I could read my paper. She was fast talking, fast walking, super friendly, and a great personality. We laughed and laughed. I looked over the menu just in case but as I said, I already knew that I wanted a catfish plate. It came with the standard coleslaw and fries and hush puppies and that was just fine with me. They have a nice patio out back with a few games . One thing that surprised me was the game room they had in the back of the dining room. They had quite a few good games in there. It's a definite plus for this place. It didn't take long to get my food. First, I'll talk about the catfish they were three pretty good size fillets and they were fat and cooked perfectly. Delicious! Sadly I didn't care for the fries. They were an odd color like maybe they were seasoned but they didn't taste seasoned. They taste like they were cooked in dirty oil. I won't order those again. The hush puppies were the same. They were small, kind of hard and tasted like they were cooked in dirty grease. I will never order those again either. The coleslaw I'm kind of on the fence with. I prefer the large, chunkier cut vegetables. This slaw seem like it was almost creamed, the flavor was OK but I didn't care for the texture. I won't be ordering the slaw again. I'm sorry to say I was a little disappointing with my meal at Classic City Eats. I came for catfish and loved loved loved it. The rest of the meal was mediocre at best. I'll try different sides next time. I will come here again. They have a lot of stuff on their menu and some of it looks pretty interesting. I've shared some photos of their menus so check it out and see if there's anything that you would like.

    Catfish plate is really good. The calzone was good. Wings were really small and tough. The fries weren't seasoned great.

    Cute little spot for a casual meal in Watkinsville. We stopped here on a whim after doing some…read moreshopping in town and were pleasantly surprised. Everything on the menu and coming from the kitchen looked good. The thick burgers are huge. I prefer a medium rare burger and mine was cooked nicely; however, my partner who ordered their burger as medium rare at the same time had theirs come out medium well to well done, so seems it can be a bit inconsistent. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant very cute inside as well. Overall it was a pleasant visit and we would try it again so would recommend for a lowkey lunch.

    I was disappointed by the service I received at The Traveling Hobo Cafe. I ordered a hamburger with…read moreno cheese, but when I checked my receipt it didn't reflect that request. I told the young woman taking orders, and she assured me "it's no cheese" even though it didn't show. When my burger arrived, it had cheese. I asked if they could remake it without cheese (because I can't have any at all). A more senior staff member said she would "just take the cheese off," which wasn't acceptable. When I asked again for a new burger or a refund, she refused both--with an attitude. I ended up leaving still hungry and feeling ignored. I hope the cafe reads feedback like this and improves; their menu might have potential, but I can't recommend them based on my experience.

It was crowded so I expected some delays. We sat outside, enjoyed great conversation, and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere while we waited. Unfortunately, one of their ovens went down during our visit, so our food took longer than expected. The staff handled it as best they could, and once the food arrived, it was definitely worth the wait. Our group tried a little bit of everything--wings, the Parmigiana Chicken Hoagie, garlic knots, and several pizzas. Bonus: they had a gluten free pizza option. The Walter White pizza was absolutely incredible, packed with flavor, and The Meathead lived up to its name--fully loaded with meat and delicious. Despite the delay, the variety, quality, and overall vibe made it a solid experience. We'll be back!

    The low scores on Yelp doesn't surprise me. Yesterday we decided to have a quick dinner at Zaxbys…read more Is there a manager there at the store? If so, it might be time for some training of the staff including the manager. We ordered online for curbside pickup. Convenient when you have a compressed spine and not walking very well right now. I only say that because when I got there I still had to walk in, There were only a few customers and not busy at all. But listening to the complaints I knew it wasn't just my order that was a problem. One young guy out front doing the best he can and several people in the kitchen and other areas having a good time, but not helping customers where they should have been. I guess a manager or an assistant finally come out to help him, but she was kind of useless, took one order and disappeared in the back. My order still was not filled. He finally put my order together and I left. Of course the order was wrong, didn't get our desert and my sensation salad was not terrible and not done right at all, it was soggy, the egg roll was burnt and I ended up throwing most of it out. The milk shake was completely melted. Maybe I expect too much, but really only wanted a little customer service, a give a shit attitude on making orders right and prepare the food as it is suppose to be. The prices have definitely gone up, but everything else has taken a nose dive. This isn't the only fast food place that fits this story, but if the owners want their businesses to keep being successful then something has to be required of their employees. One good thing we are eating leas and less fast food.
