    Took no pics of the food but this is on the wall outside lol

    Visiting friends in Georgia and picked this spot. In a fun new industrial feel development. Fun artwork and interesting menu. Loved the deviled eggs!

    Blacked salmon Caesar salad, pecan crusted salmon, and bulleit chicken with ranch salad and corn succotash
    Shivi P.

    I got the bullet chicken with corn succotash and salad with ranch. Honestly it was fairly solid. I really do wish there was sauce and seasoning all around - especially on the succotash and chicken. The ranch was also a bit watery. The service was great and it is beautiful!! I just wish the food was a bit more seasoned. Also fairly small portions but the prices aren't bad

    Mocktail - very good!

    Mixed feelings on this place. Loved the vibe here and everyone was nice - particularly hostess, however service was very slow. Got maybe one water refill for our small water glasses the entire time. Food was also very meh- agreed with the fried deviled eggs being rubbery. We read that review but they sounded intriguing and got them anyways. Crab cakes on the other hand were super tastey! Caesar salad was also very good. Fish sandwich was more batter than fish but fine. Nice addition to wire park but things were either hit or miss.

    Fries, burger topped with Mac &cheese and bacon

    We have eaten here several times and have seats had a positive experience. This trip I had the fish sandwich with fries and garlic aioli dipping sauce, my husband had the burger with Mac and cheese and bacon on it with fries and we enjoyed our lunch choices. My fish was well cooked and flavorful, his burger was very good (albeit a little messy ) and as always the fries were crispy on the outside while tender on the inside! Service was great! Our hostess, Annie, was quick to greet us, and made sure we had the table we wanted and drinks. Our waiter, sadly I can't remember his name, but he came to our table quickly and checked in on us often! He even showed up with refills on drinks without us having to ask! He was also friendly with conversation. We always sit outside and enjoy watching everything going on around us! Love it here and will definitely return. We always come for lunch but next time will try for dinner.

    I wanted to love this restaurant, but we were a little disappointed. Let's start with the positives. The ambience and styling were VERY nice and the waitress was attentive. They also have specials, like on Wednesday's 1/2 price on bottles of wine. I got Pecan Crusted Salmon. It was hands down the best tasting salmon I've ever had. Flavorful and not overcooked. My husband got the ribeye and fries. The fries were good and bountiful. But the ribeye was the let down. My guy was probably expecting a nice umami hit, but instead the steak had some kind of an apple-cinnamon tasting glaze which was overpowering. Please leave the steak alone! We'll probably come back at lunchtime one day for hamburgers. Hopefully they will taste like hamburgers and not a piece of candy.

    CRISPY DEVILED EGGS Lightly Fried topped with Candied Bacon, Tomato Vinaigrette.

    The service was excellent. We sat upstairs and could see the outdoor movie from our table. The place was new. Clean and popping with people on a Friday evening. The food is looks amazing on the menu! We started with 3 appetizers because we wanted to try them. 1. CRISPY DEVILED EGGS Lightly Fried topped with Candied Bacon, Tomato Vinaigrette. These were deliciously different. The breading and deep frying made the egg white a little rubbery. The candied bacon added a new flavor profile to the deviled eggs. 2. STEAMED MUSSELS Turner New Zealand Mussels served ni aSauvignon Blanc Buter Sauce, Poblano, Corn, Tomatoes, Onions with Toasted Bread. The tomatoes with the mussels made this sauce incredible! 3. FRIED GREEN TOMATOES Served with Tomato Vinaigrette, Pickled Onions, Queso Fresco. This was a little salty. Allyson ordered Blackened Salmon Salad. The salmon was good. She also enjoyed the the Asparagus from my entree and said it was excellent. I ordered *APPLE BUTTER GRASS FED RIBEYE - Turner Grass Fed Ribeye served with Smoked Gouda Mac &Cheese, Grilled Asparagus. The ribeye was delicious, the Mac and cheese was a little salty. I would have given this 4.5 stars only because some of the food was overly salty and I didn't think the deviled egg should have been deep fried.

    HotToT was so good

    I came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and it's one of the most cutest, most instagramable…read moreplaces i've been to. They also have outdoor seating, and when I went there was live music. So if that's something that interests y'all, go for it. The staff here has been so generous and amazing throughout my experience. They encouraged us to take pictures, accommodated a dessert for my friend, and just been amazing people overall. The food did take a bit to come out, but the food did not disappoint. I ordered the BBQ pork, and the fries were a bit soggy but that's how I like mine (hot take). Also, the cole slaw was a bit vinegary, which is also how I like it. The price isn't too bad, but compared to the other location in Athens, it is a tad more pricey, but still not bad. Overall, 9/10!!

    This place has received unjust reviews. We dinned here on a whim while driving north from Florida…read more It is a gem! Service A+ thanks to Max. He was prompt with all of our needs and checked in on us throughout. The food was yum. My kids had a burger. I had the chicken sandwich (so good). We tried both desserts. I was skeptical about banana pudding as I have never been a fan of the wafer version. Since it was my birthday weekend my family insisted we order the chocolate and banana. Both were impressive, I recommend scooping a bit of each on one spoon . Although each are delightful on their own. The lavender margarita gets two thumbs up! Decor was pleasant. The bathrooms are the most fun I have ever been in! Bravo WT.

    It was a beautiful day to eat outside in Wire Park, and Lalo's Cantina helped make it a reality…read more While it did take a bit for someone to seat us, our server, Gabriel, really made up for it (except for the lack of drink refills). He was great, charismatic, and incredibly patient with my indecisiveness. The menu is vast and the food delicious. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. There is something for everyone! Mom started with her Pineapple Jalapeno margarita--perfect tang, just a tad salty for her taste. Our entrees were the best part of our evening. The Texas fajitas were sizzling throughout our dinner. The steak was cooked to perfection, the shrimp were seasoned perfectly, and the presentation was impressive. The rice and tortillas felt and tasted authentic. The Churrasco Steak was new and certainly a worthy addition to the menu. The steak was a hearty, tender 8oz, great for the price. The chimichurri was good and paired nicely with the vegetables (just a little too oily). The plantains and rice were a great offset and paired nicely with everything. Just a beautiful evening with a nice breeze, satisfying food, and delightful service.
