“This is an Athen's institution. I was a local resident (a townie) my family loved coming here. Back then it was really good chicken at an excellent price. The quality has come down some, the prices have went up (of course they did, inflation). However I paid 10 bucks for 2 pieces of blackberry pie. One for my daughter and one for me. Not a single blackberry was found in either slice. It was all "thickening" as my mother would say and crust. Inflation or not if you are selling blackberry pie, it should contain blackberries. We receive thickened juice and crust.“
“Absolutely loved this place! The employees were chill, the menu was huge, and the sandwich was delicious (my mom and I split the Feta is Betta on sundried tomato and was a perfect snack). The atmosphere was classic old-school college campus - chalk on the walls, old photos, etc but was still very clean. I would try every bagel on this menu if I lived here. Maybe I'm just used to paying way too much for underwhelming stuff (I mean really, a bagel shouldn't cost more than 7 bucks) but I still thought the prices here were extraordinarily reasonable. If I can get a sandwich for less than 10 bucks I'm happy, let alone $5-$7 (which is kinda sad, but hey, it's the times we live in). Now we need a place like this in Columbus - if y'all could open up a brick and mortar there and keep the prices the same, I think it'd be a hit (we're severely lacking these kinds of places).“
“Never been to Athens before and got trapped eating Cafe food for a week. Ventured off and found the Pub, which lives up to its name. Great burgundy door leading you into a gallery of memorabilia, laughter and good vibes. I sat at the bar was quickly greeted and ordered wings, beer and a double of Jamison. The wings came out quickly and were a great size for the price. If I ever come to Athens again, I'd definitely stop by.“
“Grabbed a few beers here while visiting Athens on a Hocking Hills trip! I'm from Columbus and love their new location there. This one is a lot smaller, but beautiful inside and their beers are incredible. The host we had on Thursday was SO kind in explaining our questions. We sat on the patio and had a wonderful time. Excited to come back and try the food.“
“I spent a night going around to all the bars around uptown Athens and found that The Union is where all the queers and indie folks hang out (which is exactly my kind of place). Also, their bathroom has fancy toilet paper, like charmin or somethings. Love this place. Also the bartender rendell is very kind.“
“Larry's Dawg House has amazing food, provided by a pleasant and attentive staff! Footlong hot dogs, great coney sauce, great fries cooked to order, and some of the best onion rings I have had. Wrap it up with a frozen treat, of which I cannot say enough about their artic twists. Picture a Dairy Queen, but with more soul, local art, and better prices. Classic food with a comfortable and easy small town feel. If you are in Athens, Larry's Dawg House is definitely worth a visit!“
“First of all this place is kind of hard to find if you're not looking for it. A little hole-in-the-wall shop that sells greasy satisfying drunk food. It's a little bit of a wait if it's busy. It is right across from the union so it's the perfect place to refuel. And it's not too pricey. Pretty decent, never done me wrong before.“
“Went on the advice of many a parent comment on OU Parents’ social media pages…this restaurant is a gem and I wish we’d discovered it years ago! Such a wonder atmosphere, great service and such unique and delicious meals!Dietary restrictions: We asked about certain ingredients for food allergy reasons and they were very thorough in their answers!“
“If you're longing for a slice of your college days and a spot with fantastic vibes, Red Brick Tavern is the place to be! The cheap drinks are a real deal. It's the kind of spot that transports you back to those carefree moments, creating an instant sense of nostalgia.The real gem of our visit, however, was our bartender, Brandon. This guy is not just pouring drinks; he's crafting an experience. Brandon is a super funny guy who genuinely seems to love what he does. His enthusiasm is infectious, making the visit not just about the drinks but about the overall enjoyment of being in the moment.The place is a testament to the fact that a good bartender can elevate your entire experience. The drinks were great, but Brandon's charisma and passion for his craft made the evening memorable. Red Brick Tavern is more than a bar; it's a place where the staff adds that extra special touch to your night out.If you're in the mood for affordable drinks, a nostalgic ambiance, and the chance to be served by someone like Brandon, don't miss out on Red Brick Tavern. It's a hidden gem that brings a bit of college spirit to your night out. Cheers to Brandon and the Red Brick team for making our visit truly exceptional!“
“This eating establishment is simply unmatched. The service provided here by the kind folk that are employed are the kindest humans to walk the earth next to Jesus Christ himself. I wouldn’t put it past them to be there for me in any time of need, they're like brothers and sisters to me… i love them like family. The second i step foot into this fine dining establishment i get goose bumps all over. One time in walked in and got so overwhelmed with the service i fainted but the fine folk that work there nursed me back to health. I would not be surprised to know these people…. no angels weren't sent here by god himself to help guide me on my journey through life. They've changed me in ways words can't even describe… i love you applebees….. forever and always from the bottom of my heart… thank you.“
“Great drinks. Great people. Busy even on a Monday! Great service. Great food. Great chicken sandwich. Zack and Jake had great service. Definitely recommend coming here. They play country on busier nights in the basement , but they still had great music upstairs! Best Bar in Athens!!“
“Really enjoyed the food. The service was warm, friendly and prompt. The prices were surprising: $4 for a draft beer!We were sad for them that our table appeared to be their only customers on Homecoming Saturday evening.We will return when we next visit Alma Mater.“
“The food was great. The atmosphere was down a bit because it was grad weekend. It wasn't busy enough to have the pace of our service but my assumption is some was new to the staff, or perhaps just feeling the weekend a little bit. Either way nothing to complain about other the pace. Food is always great even with the limited menu for the big weekend. Salad and burgers are great. Fries are next level.“
“Food was not great. Cheese on my nachos was cold, beans needed to be warmer than they were. My friend said that his meat on his entree was low quality and not cooked well. However, the most redeeming qualities of Broney’s are the on draft beer prices, the outdoor patio, and the numerous TVs in case you are interested in a certain sporting event or are tryna win a bet. The staff was super nice to my big ol’ black lab and gave him water and love when he needed it.Kid-friendliness: Extremely child friendly with the outdoor patio“
“For a steak n shake, this place did a good job. The food was prepared correctly and hot. Shakes came out shortly after food. I stay away from all the steak n shakes around my home; however, this place has a cute retro set-up, and the staff does a good job. I didn't like ordering at the counter & I miss the table service. Overall, I understand why my college kids likes it.“
“They had great options for Vegetarians/Vegans. The original margarita was ok. We were 20-25 ppl, so can understand their plight to deliver food to the table. My Mexican rice was not fully cooked, however BBQ tofu was good. Took BBQ Tofu bowl. Hubby got Pina Colada Tofu Bowl, the rice was not cooked properly. Hope the numbers overwhelmed them.“
“First visit and loved it, very friendly and Our waiter was so friendly and gave great service and did not have too wait to be seated and did not have to wait very long on our food, food was awesome, my Husband and I will visit again for sure, we drove an hour just to have our 33rd Anniversary Dinner here, we made the right call coming here to celebrate, we were very pleased. Updated: Back for our 36th Anniversary 2024, our waitress was great and very friendly. Food was delicious had to take home, loved their fried pickles with ranch.“
“Small restaurant, but got seated fairly quickly and food came very fast. Street parking was a bit difficult to find. Atmosphere was a typical older diner. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Had a veggie omelet, hashbrowns, and biscuit & gravy. Husband had egg sandwich and shared my meal. My meal was very good. Would definitely go back.“
