Food was booty. I thought it was going to be delicious since the wait was 49 min. There were ants in my fries and half of the patty was gone when I got it.

Normally a good place to eat but some of the women staff like to wear skirts so short you can see their underwear and butt cheeks. Was kinda disgusted when the first thing i saw waking in there was a grown women with her butt cheeks out, was even more disgusted when i learned she was our waitress and she spent most of the time flirting with a older dude. learn how to dress appropriately when literal children eat in there and adults who don't like to be flashed by a grown women's ass. absolutely disgusted won't eat there again.

Food was really very good. May have dropped in at a busy time but the service was a little off but again not terribly bad just took a little while to get refill on water and condiments. Will definitely be back and will update service level when we do return.

01/24/24Pretty bad service. They were more focused on whoever they were talking to outside the restaurant. Wanted to dine at a local establishment. Won’t ever dine here again. Meteocre burger I can deal with but suck a$$ service. Not me. Never again. Even the manager was clueless

Gross, filthy, and disgusting. That's what comes to mind about my experience here on a Saturday evening. Over $70 for 4 burger an fry meals. The food was so horrible, undercooked, and bland that we left the majority of it on the table. It took nearly an hour to get our food, with only a few other guests in the restaurant. We had to practically beg for refills. The bacon an burgers were undercooked and caused us to all have upset stomachs shortly after. We weren't the only upset people that evening. Almost every other table had left large amounts of food untouched. McDonald's would have been a much better choice. Never again.

They did not give any good customer service. We had horrible burgers and brought it to their attention. Instead of an apology we were interrogated on why it was bad. I would not recommend this place if your looking for a quality experience that includes people of diversity.

waited over an hour and a half for our food and watched everyone else around us get their food. Server did not seem sorry at all and and blamed it on the kitchen being backed up even thought EVERYONE ELSE GOT THEIR FOOD BEFORE US. Then when she finally handed us our food I began to bawl crying due to the intense nausea I was feeling. Then after getting our food we realized that they got our orders wrong and we were missing an order of cheese sticks that's our server confirmed but then said she never even wrote it down. I would never want anyone to experience this while literally starving.
My husband and I ate there today. It's the best burger place in Athens.I've been going there since I was a youngster.

Excellent place to go for a casual meal. It's been a favorite of ours for years. Old fashioned burgers, milk shakes, hand cut fries and more. This place is like a warm piece of nostalgia with toys from times passed scattered around the restaurant. The service is always on point too. Took our grand daughter last Friday and our server went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.

We are back on our low carb way of eating and they went above and beyond to help us. We both had the Mushroom & Swiss burger without the bun with an awesome side salad. It looked scrumptious and tasted even better. Our waitress out did herself taking care of us. The atmosphere took you back in time with memorabilia from childhood. Can't wait till our next adventure there.

Stopped for a late lunch/early dinner on our way back to home from Gatlinburg upon a recommendation of a friend. Met the owners, had a great chat, and a great meal. The fries with feta dip was a surprising taste for both my wife and I, and we definitely approve! Our burgers were delicious and our chocolate shake was very good. Service was prompt and our server was great. (Note: We did visit while it was still winter break for UGA students.)As FSU alums (Classes of 1998 and 2000), we will definitely stop by again whenever we find ourselves passing through Athens.

Nice aesthetic. Decent vibe. The waiter was very friendly. We were a party of 7. We were seated quickly. We were served water quickly. Wednesday night, around 6:00 or 630ish. It was nearly empty, maybe 2 other tables. Ordered 2 side orders of fries to go with our and 7 shakes. Fries came out quickly and were decent fries. Except they had sugar in the seasoning, though, which kinda sucks, not my thing. Everything to that point was good. But then we waited what seemed like 30 to 40 minutes for the milkshakes. Which just kinda ruined the whole thing. Idk wth the issue was, but if I wasn't with such a large party, I would have paid for my fries and left after 15 minutes of waiting. Just unreasonable. If you go, just dont get a shake. Dont do it. You may be ok so long as you dont get a friggin shake. I won't ever go back. It's just not worth my time for a mediocre malt. Again. Wait staff was nice and all else was good.
