Most people will be quite satisfied with a single patty burger as the double patty burgers are quite thick. Generally this would have been a solid four star experience, unfortunately they lose points for junk fees. During checkout at the counter, there's a little sticker notifying you of a 3.99% fee to use a credit or debit card. Sigh. As a business owner myself, I love customers that use credit cards and the small fee (much lower than 3.99%) that I pay is well worth it as credit cards actually streamline my backend processing compared to cash or checks.

The hamburger was TO DIE FOR - thick slice ripe tomatoes, fresh crunchy lettuce, crunchy onions, and dill pickles on top of a moist and flavorful steak-like meat burger. The Reuben sandwich was also a hit, with the right amount of meat to sauerkraut mix and REAL crunchy onion rings. And don't even get me started on the fresh cut fries and great southern tea with lemon! The best part? I'd like to say the prices - everything is super affordable! But realistically, THE FOOD TASTE & QUALITY is THE BEST PART! Can't wait to come back! GREAT JOB and shout out to the folks at Jessica's! THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL DINING EXPERIENCE!! I'll be a frequent diner - I promise!

There aren't a lot of things that I love better than a local unique bar & restaurant with huge…read morespace, swanky decor, and a few nice surprises. Folks come in very casual attire, some arrive in fully formal clothes, and everything in between. It's a really comfortable vibe and that's something that I appreciate. Maybe you do, too? The owners are a couple and chances are they'll be the ones waiting on you, preparing your food, and treating you love a neighbor who came out to have a good time. Locals who I know LOVE it here. The food is always great, and if the have homemade egg rolls, try them. They're amazing! Also, one of the best burgers I've ever had, and among the ways that we're spoiled in Athens, we have several places with GREAT burgers. Seriously. I mean, don't come to Athens just to eat at a chain. Come on downtown and try places like this and nibble around the edges of town for a few other treats. The name is appropriate. It's THE OPEN DOOR in "the friendly city" in a small, pretty, southern town fercryinoutloud. So I expected that and T.O.D. delivered. Well, I ate-in several times and I don't even know if they Door Dash. It's just an expression, OK? This is not the review to take literally. It's still honest. I've had steak, chicken, prime rib, burgers, the aforementioned egg rolls, and a catfish dinner and it was delicious EVERY time. Every damn time. Folks enjoy the drinks here and this place has huge extra rooms that they open when it's warranted. They don't always have enough staff to be like a chain restaurant/bar and they employ some intermittent staff for busy events, so I don't come expecting a hostess type greeting, white linen, and tables set and ready. They're usually hustling to keep up, take care of their guests who are, from my observation(s), usually friends and neighbors and regulars, and a few folks who are just visiting sprinkled-in for good measure. Yet, it's not so local that the player piano stops and everyone stares when you swing through the saloon doors. Well, through the pretty front door and IF it had saloon doors. It's friendly and welcoming without people being all up in your business. If you're feeling like you're in a hurry, take a deep breath and relax and maybe sit at the bar.

Everything was fresh and well seasoned. Valley Corn Nuggets - like a deep fried creamed corn. They were crispy and a bit sweet. We've never had something like this before, and we loved them! Fried Pickles - these were so crispy! It was a nice touch to remove the seeds and thinly slice the pickle spears before adding batter and frying them. Farmhouse burger - the patty was juicy, the egg was runny, and the bun was the perfect consistency to hold everything together. And those fries?! Wow! Crispy but meaty. They were the epitome of the perfect fry.

I wanted to try their pancakes but didn't want a full stack, and our server Robin was wonderful in recommending the Sweet Start. One thing we really appreciated is that all breakfast entrees include coffee or tea, and the prices are already very reasonable. We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that even though we ordered specialty coffees, we could still enjoy complimentary refills of regular coffee. The restaurant has a charming and unique atmosphere, with every table looking a little different from the next. For my meal, I ordered the Sweet Start, which included one pancake, eggs, and bacon. I also appreciated the transparency from the staff. When I asked for an extra serving of their homemade pecan butter, I was informed upfront that there would be an additional charge....a level of honesty that's surprisingly rare these days. My husband ordered the Banana Nut French Toast comes with homemade whipped cream and homemade pecan butter, which also came with bacon. He added a side of eggs as well. Everything was delicious. I'm especially particular about pancakes, and I can honestly say they serve some of the best pancakes I've had. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and what stood out most was how genuinely happy all the staff seemed to be. It created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made our visit even more enjoyable. We would definitely return the next time we're in the area.
