    Walking in, I wasn't sure what to expect. But you walk in, you order at the counter and then they'll bring your food out to you at your chosen table. While they are known and are a burger restaurant, they also have hotdogs, salads, and some appetizers to choose from, as well as some shakes and malts. I ordered the dirty south fries and a small grindhouse salad. My boyfriend also ordered a build your own burger with double beef patties. Service was good, and food came out relatively on time (not too long, not too short). Plus they have an upstairs sports bar, and have multiple screens for sport games. Overall, would highly recommend coming here, but just be aware of the parking situation.

    Affordable quality burgers with nice servers. We sat up stairs where they had a heated patio. My favorite was the Fries they were so delicious they came with a special sauce bacon crumble as well as ground beef jalapenos tomatoes and diced onions it's a large portion so you can definitely share it. The burger was thick and juicy they tasted like they were hand pressed they don't taste frozen they were cooked well slightly pink but I wish they were seasoned just a little bit more it was on the fresh side.

    Were at it again. Ive heard about the Grindhouse in Athens since I moved here almost 6 years ago. It's a Stalpe of Athens as well as a Georgia Bulldogs hangout! Today we crossed it off the "to do list" & officially now put it on the "to do AGAIN" list. I've had a lot of burgers in my 64 years, but the Grindhouse is on a whole different level! Wifey ordered the impossible burger with Onion Rings. She said it was very delicious & promptly held up 5 fingers. Which = 5/5 she had an apple Cider beer! I ordered the Yankee Burger (double) with extras. Apple Bacon mushrooms avacado slices & red onions leafy greens lettuce. This was definitely a montage of flavors landing on my taste buds . I went in so hard, that the table across the room, commented as they left, "The way you ate the burger with singular tunnel vision made us wish we had ordered that hamburger as well" They were correct, I only stopped to lick the blue cheese off my fingers (sorry about my manners, but it was just that good) or to wipe whatever juice was running down my beard. I definitely give this yankee burger a 5/5 & the crinkle fries were crunchy with just the right amount of salt. My Drink, was a John Daly, Bourbon based with lemonade/sweet Tea & a splash of Pinapple Grindhouse You have been Tongue Tested

    Note: I feel like this place should receive a 3.5 stars, but you can't do that on Yelp! Parking is a small side lot on the right of the building or street parking on the left down the hill. Restaurant is situated in the heart of UGA and Dawg Country. Upon entering the rooftop was bumping as we came on game day, but the Dawgs were playing in Missouri. Rooftop is only for 21+, so we couldn't go up due to having the kids. You order at the counter and they give you a table number. We at first sat at the back patio, but it was cold and not a good vibe. So we moved inside and it was good to watch the game and stay warm. During COVID tables were taped off and not a lot of people in the dining room. We ordered: Double Grindhouse, the Euro and 2 Rugrats mini burgers with cheese, pickles, ketchup and mayo with drinks and fries. Drinks are self pour from the fountain. All the burgers were very good and well seasoned, but very small for the price. I don't think they grind or make their own patties in house as they didn't asked for cooking preference. The fries were well seasoned yet some parts seems over cooked, but 95% of the fries were cooked well. I will add cheese and the such next time for sure! We wanted milk shakes but they said the machine was down - kind of bummed about that. They place seems like a sit down / server situation based on the bar and feel but it more self service. I would come again, but hesitant due to small burgers patties and high price. Nice to be in Athens during game for a burger and a beer.

    Cheese poofs.

    Went here on our recent trip to Athens. Burger was good. We also ordered the cheese poofs, which are large balls of pimento cheese with a sweet chili dipping sauce. I thought they would be like small pimento cheese nuggets based on the description. They were good, but would have been better as nuggets.

    Great burgers but the fries!!!!! The fries are awesome!! The fries came to the table perfectly…read morecooked and fresh. The outside was crisp and the inside was soft. We had the ones with Cajun seasoning which were really good but the garlic fries are seriously over the top. When we return (yes, of course we will return) I think I just want garlic fries. Forget the burger I just want to eat those amazing fries. It's a good burger. Juicy, well cooked. Not overdone. The bread was not my favorite. Why does everyone insist on brioche buns? They don't really work for a cheeseburger. It is still a damned good burger. The only real problem is that it will occupy too much room in my stomach that could otherwise be filled with garlic fries. The dining room is a bit small. Let's call it intimate. The staff are wonderful. Go. Eat fries. Life is good.

    I was in town to see a show at the 40 Watt. Downtown Athens always has a good meal to be found…read moresomewhere. Today I wanted to have a burger. Some of the more well known places down here I don't like so much for one reason or another. I have been walking past Clocked for years an never tried it. Well, today was going to be the day! I was seated quickly by a friendly staffer. The vibe here is Athens collage restaurant. Which I like. Rather than a burger today I chose the Chicago dog with some cheese fries. This is not a Chicago dog, the bun was toasted and not soft with poppy seeds. Bit it was good. The fries were freshly cooked, crispy, and hot. Cheese sauce was excellent. I go to a 40 Watt or Foundry show about once a month. I will be back to Clocked again to try a burger. I like this place.

    Outdoor seating on a beautiful day with good service were big pluses…read more But the Italian beef was not an authentic version that I had hoped for. Yes, one may put cheese on the Italian beef, but then it automatically is not "authentic" because it becomes a crossover then. This is not to be a French dip sandwich or a Philly cheesesteak. It's the Chicago Italian beef which is supposed to have four components that must all work together: thin sliced roast beef, the au jus, hard roll/bun, giardiniera. That's it. I thought the sandwich was good, but just not authentic. The beef was a little thicker cut but ample quantity. The giardiniera was plenty hot but scant, so they did promptly bring a side portion for me, the au Jus didn't have the same spice mixture and was more of a French dip than the spicier Italian beef and usually I get mine dunked, so this was just a side dip, but off the flavor of IB. I think the cheese used was Havarti, which is interesting, even though it's not supposed to be there, one would have expected provolone or mozzarella. I also had a couple of onion rings, very heavily breaded, cooked to perfection but tasted like fried chicken more than onion ring. This is not a negative review since the food was good and price/value was also good, it's just that neither item was "authentic" to the original target. I would eat here again in a heartbeat and most definitely order a burger because that is their thing.

    Great experience all around. From the moment we sat down, the service was outstanding -- friendly,…read moreattentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. That kind of hospitality always elevates a meal. The onion rings were the absolute star. Perfectly crisp and golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Easily some of the best I've had and worth ordering every time. The burgers were solid and cooked as ordered, and the buns deserve special mention -- super soft, fresh, and a great complement to the patties without falling apart. The pimento cheese, however, was a bit underwhelming and didn't quite deliver the flavor punch I was expecting. Overall, excellent service, standout onion rings, and good burgers make this a place I'd happily return to.

    Foods is great and worker are amazing will come back anytime I'm in athens great for group event…read moreor a night out with the family just good vibes and experience for the family and also their dough is amazing

    We had a really disappointing experience here and won't be returning…read more My husband ordered a burger without a bun and made a few simple modifications (no cheese, add bacon and onions). It came out fine, so he ordered a second one--only to have the manager come over after the order was placed to say they were "too busy" to accommodate those same modifications again. Apparently the server "shouldn't have allowed it." That's not just inconsistent, it's poor communication and puts the customer (and server) in an awkward spot for no reason. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich that was honestly one of the driest things I've ever tried to eat. I could barely get through two bites. The fries that came with it left me with pretty bad indigestion later, which is unusual for me. Our daughters ordered pizza, which was fine--but it arrived about 30 minutes after our food, so we weren't even eating together as a family. We also ordered a bottle of prosecco that was barely chilled. We had to ask for an ice bucket just to make it drinkable. Between the food quality, inconsistent service, and overall experience, this was a miss across the board.
