We stumbled on this neat little place on our last visit to Athens. It's a small place with an…read moreinteresting vibe and a great menu. We started with the crabcake appetizer, which was very good. My wife had the special, grouper with shrimp. It was well plated and delicious. I ordered the seafood fettuccine, mussels, clams, shrimp scallops and whitefish over fettuccine. Again, tasty and nicely plated. Tiramisu finished off the meal. It's a little hard to find, so call for directions if you have any questions about where they are.

It's been more than 20 years since I was a law student at UGA, and I've considered 5 & 10 to be…read morethe high water mark for Athens dining this entire time. Nestled in a gorgeous building that was once a residential house, the restaurant has a gorgeous and cozy ambience that makes you feel like you're visiting with friends from the moment you enter. The menu changes with the seasons, and I've never been less than impressed with the often-inventive dishes. I highly recommend starting with their cast iron cornbread. It sounds simple, but it's truly elevated. Right now, the sweet potato brown butter pierogies are absolutely mouth-watering, and the hazelnut bread pudding is rich and a perfect blend of sweetness and cream. The waitstaff is top notch and you'll receive better, more attentive service here than at restaurants with much larger price tags in Atlanta. They also have an impressive cocktail program and wine list. On the "it's the little things" list, the candles 5 & 10 uses in the restroom are outstanding! They sell them and they're spendy, but worth it.

During the last year of the five-and-a-half decades my mother lived in Athens, she survived a…read moreserious medical crisis and endured the sale of her longtime home and preparations for a move to my brother's city. 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.

I typically don't write reviews this negative, but I think it's definitely worth avoiding. So many better options for Food and Athens. Wings were burnt to a crisp and so dry you couldn't even get them off the bone. The piece of slow cooked beef I got was all fat and not edible. We attempted to order beer and struck out five times before they actually had one on their menu in stock. The waitress was not aware of what they did and didn't have so just kept coming back five times to tell us sorry that one was out. Literally ended up ordering a corona on draft. That's not exactly what I was going for at a place that prides themselves on a large amount of beer on tap.

As far as the food goes the recipe for the shrimp and grits definitely could use a little tweakIng however the waffle was amazing with the home made maple syrup.

The menu is very limited so you may want to check it out before going. They also had a live band on this particular Sunday, if you are in the Athens area, you should definitely check them out.

Please keep in mind that the reason why they call us five is because there is only five menu items for appetizers and for entrées . Therefore, there is a limited selection.

Our food came out quickly, which honestly impressed me considering how packed everything in Athens was that day. My steak did come out at the wrong temperature initially, but the staff handled it really well. They immediately made me a brand new steak and even sent me home with a full to-go meal, which I really appreciated. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is what matters, and they definitely made it right. The food overall was really good. The deviled eggs always hit, the creamed spinach was delicious, and the loaded potato was solid. The corn had a smoky flavor to it that caught me off guard at first, but it was still sweet and flavorful. Overall, great service, good food, and they handled an issue professionally, especially during such a busy graduation weekend.
