They've been slingin' chicken for decades from Miller's on the West Side of Athens. They have a…read moremorning crowd of people who work with their hands loading up on breakfast sandwiches and then a steady stream until the 7pm close. So don't get a hankering for the best chicken tenders (each one is essentially a whole flattened breast) or the more old school offerings like fried hearts, gizzards, or livers. You can get those in bulk and you might ask who would ever...? My high school crew does once a year when the loser of our previous year's fantasy football league caters the next year's draft, that's who. The reason to go is the fried chicken but you can order skinless if you want to behave. They also sell biscuits and multiple sizes of cole slaw, mashed potatoes and gravy, and potato salad. You can dine in at one of probably ten tables and a surprising number of people do. But for me it is about a bucket and some sides for a picnic or that quick decision when plans to make dinner at home go sideways. Parking for 10 or so cars available in front and it is rarely full for long if at all. As a college town, Athens' restaurant scene typically caters to the students. And Miller's is definitely student friendly. But while the students flock to the latest thing (new Cane's on Court Street) the locals know that Miller's is Athens true chicken king. The family business has earned loyalty over the generations. And just know, if you are back in Athens looking for some chicken nostalgia in late summer, make sure you don't land on County Fair Week in August. That is the one week a year they are closed at Miller's.

The side of garlic mash was lack luster in taste. Also ordered the penne Alfredo that was bland and was just sauce in the bottom of the bowl with pasta put on top. Will not be returning especially after the price it cost for the meal. Would have had a better dinner at any fast food restaurant at 1/10th the price.

The waitress gave us no heads up on it taking so long but did inform us they were out of two items we ordered. They even made us pay $7 for two kids lemonades. We had to run to Sonic for lunch in order to make it to the train ride we were in town for which is right next door to this restaurant. When we told them we were about to leave she didn't offer to see what the status was on our time left. She didn't care. They make money either way on the other tables. Food was just not leaving the kitchen. I felt bad for everyone walking in as we left.

Isolated incident? Maybe. Doesn't changed the fact that they wasted over an hour of my time.

Nothing but amazing things to say about this BBQ spot!…read more I want to start off my review by giving a s/o to the staff. My server was so kind and made me feel so welcome and was so happy to offer suggestions. The food was perfection. Not only was the presentation gorgeous, i mean just look at the plates! But the flavors were spectacular. Besides having the best meats and sides, each table is loaded up with 4-5 different BBQ sauces created by Barrel & Boar that take the meal to the next level. My one note about this Barrel & Boar location is that the bathroom is a bit scary and could use some up-keeping but that's just me being picky.

My wife had the Bourbon Chicken and was very pleasing for her. We split an order of the Gator Gumbo soup and I ate most of it, just delicious. I travel a lot to the south for work and I didnt have high expectations but this place is legit Cajun! You can tell the roux is spot on and the portions are incredible. The service was also pretty good and super friendly. The creekside location and large tables made the place feel like a southern backwater fish house. 95/100 from me! I wanted to try the pecan pie but the portions were massive. Next time and Ill give them the 100/100!

Tried this for the first time over the weekend. Go in with low expectations and you'll be fine…read more Servers have very little knowledge about the menu. I asked if the quesadillas were good and what they came with and he told me marinara sauce. They are very young and inexperienced, so just be patient as they learn. My friend ordered a chicken and rice dinner and loved it. To be on the safe side, I ordered a cheeseburger and it was really good. Good size patty, and nice and juicy. Came with fries, which are from a frozen bag, but they were still decent. We ordered fried mushrooms, as well. It came with a weird sauce that doesn't go with the mushrooms, but I just asked for ranch dressing instead, but they were good. I don't believe there was fountain pop available, but there's a cooler with drinks in it. Not sure if they serve alcohol. Atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, however, I understand that they were strictly going to be for pick up only but recently changed that to eating in as well. There are a few tables that are 4-tops and then some round tables in the middle that seat about 6. I was quite surprised that the prices were as high as they were. I probably would not go back again, but I would order the burger to go. I really hope this place makes it and that maybe they can start advertising to some of the tourist coming into Logan even though it's a bit of a drive for them. It's a good restaurant for the area.
