Today was the wing special day so we gave the Buffalo Wings a try. We also tried an appetizer, chicken fingers, and the BBQ sliders. Everything was tasty and the sausage, cheese, and pickle appetizer was fantastic. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Pro tip: they offer a Military Discount which is greatly appreciated!

While their premium service and quality come at a higher price point, Classic City Eats delivers value that surpasses the cost. Clients receive an outstanding experience that justifies the investment.

Wanted to find a great place near Watkinsville to watch the Georgia game on Saturday. The bartenders and waitresses were great the whole game and were very helpful all game. But at the conclusion of a rough game for most of the people in the restaurant, that’s when our experience took a bad turn. Nothing short of a profanity laced tirade started by what I now have come to understand is the owner. She was clearly over intoxicated, and started to lash out at her bartender for the whole restaurant to hear. Which caused even more chaos to ensue, amongst what seemed like bar regulars. The act was disgusting and everyone of her employees should quit for how they were treated as the tongue lashing she gave in the kitchen was louder, even more unprofessional and more vulgar than in the restaurant. We will not be back and don’t think this woman deserves anyones business.

The BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had! Unanimous approval amongst all of our guests when we ordered a 20 piece family meal. The chicken was supremely juicy, with the most delicious, perfectly seasoned and crispy crust. The sides were just as phenomenal (we ordered collard greens, mac n cheese, fries, and hush puppies). Our to-go order was packaged well and everything stayed hot and crispy on the way home.

Loved the atmosphere! The wings were phenomenal and I could not have asked for better service. I Sat at the bar and the owner was actually there and made sure everything was to my liking. The server made it known they have a credit card fee (which is normal for most restaurants now) but I appreciated them letting me know.I will definitely be back.

The place was nearly empty with the exception of a couple of Monday evening bar flies. Was greeted promptly, but after the initial greeting it took forever to order our food, then receive it. Paid $70 for 21 wings that were over cooked and under sauced, a cold basket of fries that were no bigger than a side, a side Greek salad which was actually pretty good, and a soda. In addition to terrible extremely overpriced food, they suggested that I tip on top of sales tax and a credit card transaction fee. When you recommend a tip suggestion as a convenience to your customers, first, don’t treat us as Imbeciles and include it within that suggestion. And if you’re cheap enough not to absorb credit fee transactions as a cost of doing business don’t include them in the tip suggestion either. Don’t waste your time or money eating here. It’s terrible and extremely overpriced.

Great catfish! Fried perfect with light batter! Lots of white flakey fish. Wonderful dining room with lots of TV’s. Fish and fries were cooked hot and fresh after order placed. Had to wait a few minutes before it was brought out to table! Lots of other items all cooked to order! The waitress was great!Wonderful time celebrating Daughters Birthday!

@Kristan Berryman, we apologize for you waking out. We had two employees call out and in this day in time, that is just something we have to deal with. We were not customers but family stepping in to help until management arrived. Both owners showed up asap to help and that says a lot about their concern for customer service. We hope you will give us another chance because yours , as well as all customers, experience and satisfaction is extremely important to us. Can’t wait to watch the game there and eat some excellent groceries with friends.

Stopped in here Friday night, 10/20/23 for my first and last time. Had a few drinks and the Delta Catfish meal. The fish was fair, yet the fries and hush puppies appeared to be cooked in old, dirty oil. The hush puppies were so small and burnt, they were inedible. I did not complain to the manager as I was hungry, and we were ready to go. Unfortunately, my wife and I had the dough bites with beer cheese as an appetizer. We both were up all night with bad stomach aches - presumably due to bad cheese. Would not recommend this establishment at all.

Unfortunately my husband, son and I walked out today before being seated along with others. While waiting to be seated we saw only two waiters who seemed very stressed, and a very packed dining area with numerous dirty tables. Customers at tables got up and started helping clear and sanitize tables for customers to be able to sit, because the wait staff was so short. Unfortunately this is not the first time we’ve seen short staffing at this restaurant, and long wait times after being seated. It’s very disappointing as we really love this place and food. The waiters are the sweetest, and we can’t stand to watch them run around stressed like they are while we eat. I’ve never seen any management there, but I sure they improve this situation.
