    Road trip review: If the hibachi express had a public restroom, I wouldn't have tried this place. It was ok. The employees were warm and welcoming. I let the cashier sigelst what I should order. Went with the brisket fries, side of coleslaw and side of Mac n cheese. Had high hopes for the Mac and cheese. Cashier said she orders it everyday for lunch. That makes me sad. It was over cooked and obviously made with the same canned cheese that was drizzled over the fries. Fries. Mass produced and forgettable. Good. Brisket. Cooked right enough. Cole slaw. Uniformly micro cut and well seasoned. This place is a chain. Local chain? The description toon on the house BBQ Sauce shows a confusion of BBQ style. Tomato / vinegar / sugar. What's the base. It's passable. Just not great. Last note. The location has the discretion of the manager for music choice. This days choice was date-night-hip hop. The song that made me laugh the most was, "I'm not your side chick." Yes. I love county. No. I'd never listen to music like that by choice. Yes. I have the choice to stay or go. Just watching the other patrons, you could see the confusion about the music choice. They ate their food and read their books and made some small talk. It was loud. I won't choose this place again any time soon. Next time I should try the ribs?

    SMOKED WINGS BASKET

    I purchased the wings. 6 wings two sides and drink $12. Issue was the wings were bite size and tasteless. One of the sides was wrong. Just completely disappointed

    This is one of my favorite spots when I'm wanting something quick and full of flavor. I always opt for the sampler so I can get a little bit of everything. the sweet potato fries are everything, better than anything I've had elsewhere. I also can't leave without getting a pint of peach cobbler... yes a pint.

    Awful service ordered $25 dollars worth of food just for the cashier to put Nike jacket on my receipt instead of what my parents named me. Then I spoke to the manager Jessica she was rude & said that was okay it was describing me! it's 2021 it's not okay! Then when I tried to reach the owner she told me call the store in a couple days! I had to call the Bethlehem location to get service & a real manager!

    Excellent pulled pork and fries !!

    Excellent pulled pork ! Large servings. Too much for one person but that's a good problem to have. Husband got his usual half rack of ribs Brunswick stew and baked beans. Loved all ! Clean environment with extremely nice professional staff! You definitely get your money's worth! Best BBQ we have had that wasn't families !

It had been a couple of years since my last visit, and while they've switched to counter service now, the service was still fast and friendly. The biscuits are just as good as I remembered--soft, thick, and fluffy. I always get a side of apple butter with mine, but the raspberry jam is also worth trying. The food was every bit as delicious as I remembered. It's a restaurant that's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

They got a table ready for a party of 6 pretty quickly which was great! They have two dining areas inside and outside seating available. I ordered the peach french toast with potatoes, another person ordered the cinnamon roll to start and the a biscuit with gravy. My husband ordered the pulled pork bowl on grits and a side of fried chicken . The kids had french toast with fruit. My potatoes I can tell were from a bag and not fresh cut potatoes. They were tiny and probably what you can purchase at the grocery store, so they were crunch and hard to eat. The french toast didn't have the best taste, and the peaches seemed canned. Presentation was nice but I wouldn't order that again. My husband did not enjoy his pulled pork bowl either, he said it lacked a bit of flavor. The cinnamon roll was a little hard like it had been sitting for a bit. Now for the good, the fried chicken was some of the best chicken I had tasted so whatever is being done there keep it up! The biscuits with the jam available on the table were amazing! The kids enjoyed their kids meal as well. If in Athens again we would definitely get the chicken and biscuit but skip the other items we previously ordered.

The food: I went with the Fried Chicken Blue Plate. Between the regular and the Nashville Hot, the Nashville was the winner--flavorful and moist without being overwhelming with the spice. Huge shoutout to my server for suggesting the brussel sprouts; that glaze is incredible and they were easily my favorite part of the plate. The mashed sweet potatoes were unique--I'm still debating if I liked them or loved them. The jalapeño cornbread was a bit sweet for my taste but on par with most restaurant cornbread. The mac & cheese wasn't bad, but also didn't do much for me like most restaurant mac & cheese. The cocktail: Do not sleep on Nana's Naissance. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ingredients, but it's like an elevated take on Rumchata. The service: I was seated at the bar and experienced a noticeable delay--a group that arrived well after me almost finished their meal before mine arrived. However, the waitress acknowledged the wait before I even had to mention it and made things right. I really appreciate that kind of proactive service. We're all human, and they handled the situation very professionally.
