    Ooey gooey bar!
    Barbara B.

    I used to love Em's kitchen and I can't deny their food has always been one of my favorite but Im so disappointed right now! I'm over here enjoying my ooey gooey bar and a pecan that didn't seem like a pecan when I bit into it was on it. You know what comes next I spit it out and it's an Effin worm that was cooked into it! Ugh I'm sick to my stomach right now! I can see how it blended since it kind of looks like a pecan because it's brown now that it's been cooked but clearly the texture of the worm sets it apart. Worst part is I really wanted to eat my gooey bar! Smh! sick!

    Brunswick Stew is just the way I like it, chunky and full of flavor! The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is very cozy.

    It is such a gem in athens, ga!! We are very lucky to have such a place!! Everything tastes fresh and full off flavor!!

    Pimento cheese sandwich! Delicious...I already ate the other half

    Em's grilled pimento cheese with pepper jelly sandwiches and their ooey gooey bar sustained me through two pregnancies. Holy cow, so good.

    The Cuban Is excellent, the staff is always friendly, and it's fairly cheap for a great sandwich.

Overall when I'm tired of feeling sluggish and gross from eating on the go, I turn to Maepole! For the same price as fast food I can have fresh, quality nutrition!

    First time here and recommended by a colleague. I was a little concerned about dining out in Athens…read moreduring a busy Saturday afternoon but fortunately the N Chase location is perfectly tucked away, distant enough from the downtown area. I was 3rd in line and pleasantly surprised + pleased. Think Chipotle meets Chopt (the salad bar ). Fresh ingredients. LOTS of mix and match options OR preset menu items. And just as many drink options, including locally made kombucha. I ordered the winter salad and low country plates. With the exception of the turmeric ginger dressing (a little too zesty for me) and the hoppin John salad (hoppin John OR salad ... not both ) EVERYTHING was delicious. I enjoyed the salad way more than I thought I would. The spicy avocado dressing is YUMMY! The greens were cooked to perfection - another shocker. The edamame crunch, tofu and crunchies were just as delicious. I will visit the Atlanta location just to try the fritters! A wonderfully healthy and scrumptious delight !

Today we found they have expanded their menu and everything looks good! In nice weather we appreciate that they also serve at covered outside tables Food: I always go for 3 scoops, so I can take home one, usually the one of the salads with fruits. I like all of them, so my order changes each time. My friends chose the sandwich on toasted croissant or bread. The restaurant now has more desserts than at my last visit, so we go beyond the tasty little cookie that comes with the meal. I'll post the new menu so the additional salads and desserts will be easy to see. There are 3 soups each day but they change each day. Service: You order at the counter, and they bring your lunch to you at a table inside or outside. The staff have always been pleasant and friendly. There is often a small line-but it moves very quickly. Facility: clean, pleasant, clean restrooms Location : very convenient location in a popular shopping strip mall -easy to free in a small outside line of stores and restaurants with parking in a large lot.

He said this is some of the best chicken salad he's ever had…read more I'm personally not a chicken salad fan, so I didn't order anything, but everything looked awesome! I did have a taste of the sugar cookie though, and wow, it was so tasty! All of the chicken salad chicks are set up the same but this one had a lot of "hometown" Athens pictures on the walls. It made the restaurant feel historic. We will definitely be back here!
