Food was very good, and less expensive than most restaurants with similar menu items. Service was great too - waitresses were very attentive and the fact that we had small children wasn't a bother. There were many families with kids in the restaurant as well. 2 adults and 1 kid meal with drinks came out under $50 (before tip), which is pretty unheard of in 2025 with inflation and all! Most importantly, we were stuffed! If we're ever in the area again, this will be our first pick for a meal!

Got a double burger but really wanted some BBQ too so asked if they could add pulled pork on top. They did it without question and with a little extra BBQ sauce and it was amazing! I wasn't a fan of the fries because they weren't as fresh as I would have liked. I heard the onion rings were bomb, but I didn't try them. I will go back next time I'm in town for sure 100%! Service was great, and the hometown atmosphere added that special touch.

My fiancé proposed to me at Tara Vineyard and Winery in Athens, Texas, and it was nothing short of…read morea dream come true. We originally booked a cabin, but after running into an unexpected wasp issue, the staff immediately upgraded us to the estate--the stunning white building in the middle of the vineyard. It was absolutely breathtaking, and we ended up having the entire estate to ourselves. Truly once-in-a-lifetime. Also dog friendly!! Our sweet doggies had a blast. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They were warm, accommodating, and genuinely cared about our experience. The chef's food was phenomenal--hands down some of the best food we've ever had, not just "good for a winery," but genuinely incredible. A special shoutout to Kevin, the bartender, who took it upon himself to come back after the proposal to take photos for us. That small act of kindness meant the world and helped us capture memories we'll treasure forever. The estate itself is unbelievably beautiful, peaceful, and romantic. Between the vineyard views, the exceptional service, and the unforgettable proposal, this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you're considering staying here, celebrating something special, or just want an extraordinary experience--do it. Tara Winery exceeded every expectation, and we couldn't be more grateful.

We considered splitting a plate as we normally do for breakfast out. However, thankfully we each ordered an entree. Each plate included three small triangles of toast and a spoon of fruit. We each had a mimosa. The meal for two was $147 with the included gratuity. We both left hungry and shocked at the price for what we received. Very disappointed

Our app came quickly but the drinks and food came so slowly. Also between us asking for waters while we look at the cocktail menu was a lot of elapsed time. Food: the steak frites were very salty (and I love salt) but definitely the best meal ordered. The "Mac attack" tasted cheeseless -- literally tasted like water. The chicken Alfredo was "mid" but also a super tiny portion. Both pastas looked like kids meals. I guess they were priced appropriately at least. Not pictured was the Donny burger -- described as "eh it was fine". All left more to be desired. We really wanted to try the cinnamon cake but decided against since service was sooooo slow. The peach tea was bad. The oasis marg was okay. When we asked for wine, we were told "I don't know what we have let me show you" and were shown the screen that listed: white, red, rose, and sparkling. The wine should be listed on the menu with the beer and the cocktails. I'd maybe come again to sit at the bar and have a drink or two if there's live music, but otherwise, this is skippable for a full meal service.

Rumor has it they are opening a new Billito's in a nearby town, about one hour away. Stay tuned :-) Bailee, now promoted to a manager position, was also our server tonight. Nice, friendly and quick to seat us in a comfortable booth; tables were also an option. Pictures scrolling on TV's throughout the restaurant. Bailee brought out fresh, hot, garlic buttered rolls along with an olive oil dipping sauce. Yummy. Son-in-law ordered a pepperoni pizza. That's his go to order. Said it's the best. Loved the perfectly cooked crust, spices, sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. Pasta Sampler is what my daughter and I ordered. Never would I have guessed how delicious this would be. Steaming hot, covered in marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese slices were a selection of Lasagna, manicotti, spinach ravioli, tortellini, and ziti. Usually I'm the one to take leftovers home - not tonight. I finished my plate! So good. We did take a slice of cheesecake home to eat later. You can see the pictures. Slices are small, however, both the original and strawberry flavors were good.
