He was definitely in the weeds though. The reason for the 3 stars is primarily because it is falling into disrepair. Out of at least 7 fans on the deck outside, only one worked. Besides not working, several also had broken blades. The deck railing is falling apart. And some, if not all, of the deck boards need to be replaced. The bathrooms could also use a renovation. The place is in dire need of maintenance. Update: Current proprietors are not renewing their lease. Maybe the new lessees will get the very badly needed updates done.

They have customer WiFi but it doesn't work so your cell service is very limited and that is very aggravating. Searching WiFi and it says they have it for customers. Click on it and it isn't available. Restaurant was recently remodeled and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good. Our young waitress did a great job and checked on us a number of times. The food wasn't over the top like I expected. The restaurant was out of many things on the menu which included salad dressing. My wife got the salmon and baked potato and said the salmon was just ok. I could tell the baked potato was heated in a microwave and my wife said it wasn't completely cooked. I got the bacon burger and home fries. The burger had two small pieces of bacon and they give you a pack of mayo. The patty was a frozen patty and I expected the bun to be toasted and it wasn't. I love a good bacon burger and give this burger a 4 out of 10 score. The home fries were from a bag and heated, not really that good either. We sat on the deck overlooking the water and marina. That was the best part of the whole visit

It was a wonderful surprise to see new specials each time! We tried the Alligator Sausage on a roll with shrimp and a yummy spicy slaw, Smoked 1/2 Chicken with "White BBQ Sauce" country potatoes, and Bourbon sautéed fresh picked spinach! The next week we had North Atlantic Mussels cooked in garlic, butter and wine with some yummy toasted bead to dip in the sauce, Smoked Meatloaf on a bed of Creamed Spinach and topped with crispy Tobacco Onions! As an appetizer we got Wings with a white BBQ sauce... We had to try their Desserts, we had amazing homemade Carrot Cake and Sugar Cream Pie... We are hooked and are looking forward to seeing what is next!

Folks come in very casual attire, some arrive in fully formal clothes, and everything in between. It's a really comfortable vibe and that's something that I appreciate. Maybe you do, too? The owners are a couple and chances are they'll be the ones waiting on you, preparing your food, and treating you love a neighbor who came out to have a good time. Locals who I know LOVE it here. The food is always great, and if the have homemade egg rolls, try them. They're amazing! Also, one of the best burgers I've ever had, and among the ways that we're spoiled in Athens, we have several places with GREAT burgers. Seriously. I mean, don't come to Athens just to eat at a chain. Come on downtown and try places like this and nibble around the edges of town for a few other treats. The name is appropriate. It's THE OPEN DOOR in "the friendly city" in a small, pretty, southern town fercryinoutloud. So I expected that and T.O.D. delivered. Well, I ate-in several times and I don't even know if they Door Dash. It's just an expression, OK? This is not the review to take literally. It's still honest. I've had steak, chicken, prime rib, burgers, the aforementioned egg rolls, and a catfish dinner and it was delicious EVERY time. Every damn time. Folks enjoy the drinks here and this place has huge extra rooms that they open when it's warranted. They don't always have enough staff to be like a chain restaurant/bar and they employ some intermittent staff for busy events, so I don't come expecting a hostess type greeting, white linen, and tables set and ready. They're usually hustling to keep up, take care of their guests who are, from my observation(s), usually friends and neighbors and regulars, and a few folks who are just visiting sprinkled-in for good measure. Yet, it's not so local that the player piano stops and everyone stares when you swing through the saloon doors. Well, through the pretty front door and IF it had saloon doors. It's friendly and welcoming without people being all up in your business. If you're feeling like you're in a hurry, take a deep breath and relax and maybe sit at the bar.

Absolutely the best food in Athens. Best hamburger you can find and incredible service.read more
