    "The Bulldawg" savory crepe
    Patrick R.

    Pauley's is known by students as a Sorority hotspot. I once overheard a frat boy giving his parents a tour of downtown Athens and when he passed by Pauley's I overheard him say, "This is Pauley's... it's where the girls go." I went in there yesterday for lunch and it is, indeed, where the girls go. As someone who's not a girl, not in a Sorority, and not even in a Frat, I wasn't sure what I was doing there, but I can't deny that the food was great and the aesthetic was amazing. It was about $12 per savory crepe, which wasn't that bad given they include a ton of meat and ingredients, and our server Julia was super nice and attentive. I see why the Sorority girls eat this place up.

    I always come to Pauley's after 10 for their drinks. Tends to get packed on certain days which is normal, so seating can be hard to find. But it's such a vibe there. Perfect for mixing and mingling. I've tried a bit of their drink menu--the frosted lemonade, manmosa, and kill eddy's are my fave!

    What a really cute crepe shop! I was in Athens for a event and I ran across this restaurant while in the area. As far as I'm concerned, you can never go wrong with a crepe and the berry compote with whipped cream crepe I had here was just what I needed. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, great service! I'll definitely be back when I'm in Athens again.

    I loved my crepe and loved the wine that the server recommended to pair with it! Cute place and thought the crepe was very tasty!

    I've lived in Athens for four years and only now had the opportunity to stop by Pauley's Crepe Bar. Needless to say, I was impressed. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience and environment of Pauley's, and the service was great (despite being packed). We all enjoyed our seprate entrée crepes, and our strawberry nutella dessert crepe was delicious as well. It took four years, but I fully understand now why Pauley's is so often raved about.

    Stopped in for a quick sweet tooth fix. My son and I shared the strawberry Nutella crepe. It was everything we wanted it to be! The crepe was slightly thicker than other crepes we've had, but it was a nice filling bite. Absolutely we will be back to try more of the menu!

    First time going to Pauley's and will be back! The atmosphere was super casual and I loved all the frames on the wall, totally a good time passer reading all of the funny captions. I ordered the veggie meatball crepe and it was pretty good and filling. The caprese crepe honestly just tasted like a quesadilla and was more of a snack than an entree. Not a huge fan of the savory crepes at all. However, the apple pie crepe was delicious and I would definitely go back just for the dessert crepes. The crepe itself on both savory and dessert crepes were perfectly made and paper thin. I also tried the honeysuckle raspberry lemonade martini which was decorated perfectly and tasted just like the name! The servers were also not the friendliest bunch, but could've just been an off day. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good drink or yummy dessert.

    Honestly the aesthetic of the food was what enticed me to try. Very pricey for crepes but the taste was decent just wouldn't pay $13 for a crepe. The chicken salad melt was very good though and no complaints about the price to quality about it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Clean environment with amazing atmosphere.

    The chicken chops are definitely the best thing on the menu!!! This is definitely a bar//drinking atmosphere so I would not come here with a family.

    Banana Frost Crêpe
    Wissal E.

    We were so excited about trying this place.. However, our experience was very unpleasant! We ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, the chicken salad sandwich and the Cuban sandwiches. And then, we got the strawberry banana Nutella crêpe and bananas frost crêpe for dessert. 1/ I got really sick from the buffalo chicken sandwich. the sandwich tasted like something you'd whip up when you open your fridge and all you got is leftover rotisserie chicken and a bottle of buffalo sauce.. It took my stomach a full day to recover. nasty! 2/The other two sandwiches were "meh", according to my company. The bread was hot dog bun-quality.. nothing special as far as flavor and quality. 3/ the crêpes were not too bad but they were not great either. The taste of the nutmeg was too overpowering and the crepe batter itself was not light and fluffy. The whipped cream on top was half melted. On the positive side, the service was on point. Will I go back? Nope.. it had me spending the rest of my visit to see off my freshman to college in the bathroom. Not good, Pauley!

    Chicken parm sandwich is really good. A bit spicy. Place is kinda surprisingly priceyread more

    Maybe we went on an off night?…read more Family of five went by for dinner. Online reviews looked good and the menu posted at the door looked good. The bartender greeted us when we walked in and let us know to order our food at the bar. She was friendly. We ordered an appetizer of fried cheese curds, two chicken parm melts, chicken tacos, Dooley drip, and a chicken tender meal. The total was $97 with sodas, $120 after tip. They brought out a chicken parm and chicken tacos first. I got the chicken tacos and noticed that they smelled really bad. I took one bite and couldn't decide if it was the chicken or the sauce that was so bad. They honestly smelled like somebody with terrible body odor. Two other people at our table tried it and nobody liked it. We only managed to eat one of the three tacos. Everybody was laughing that I picked the wrong entree. Then our appetizer arrived and later the rest of the food. The chicken parm melts also had a bad taste and smell. I ate a very small piece of chicken from the chicken parm and couldn't eat any more of it. Only half of one chicken parm melt was ate between the three people that tried it. The Dooley Drip was liked and ate along with cheese curds. Unfortunately our son didn't try his chicken tenders as the other chicken didn't taste good. After we had given up on the chicken parm's, the tenders and the tacos we mostly just snacked on the fries. We did take the left overs home thinking that we may eat them later but while walking to the vehicle everybody agreed that they weren't touching them so we tossed them in a trashcan.

    Great little divey place for Cincinnati-style chili and sandwiches &…read more beer choices are good. Locals know it well -it's been serving the neighborhoods around Normaltown for decades-and it looks the part., Food: 5 stars for their Cincinnati-style chili on French fries , by the bowl, or with hotdogs. Sandwiches are always good size and tasty. We like their Reuben and Rachel as well as the various BLT's. Food is a strong point. Service : Staff are very pleasant and the service is quick. Facility: 2- star (Sorry-but it's true) Old interior, but they have attempted to keep it serviceable. The bathrooms are a good reason to use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands, IMHO. Lots of various beer cans for decor. Location: Very conveniently located on main thoroughfare just outside Athens in Normaltown between the hardware store and the Mexican restaurant. A few parking spaces on the street, more in the rear.

The fries are hand cut and perfectly seasoned. Last time I was here, I had their chili and I will admit, it's better than mine! That's saying a lot! Great beer selection of local brews. The staff behind the bar is very friendly and attentive. The only downside is that parking is not great with street parking is the only option. It was worth circling the block a few times before I got a spot! Can't wait to try another one of their awesome comfort food specialties!
