Great food. Friendly service, and entertaining worth their live music. I'm not from Athens but always make an effort to stop in when I'm the area. read more

My teammates and I went to celebrate my birthday. I wanted a place situated halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga. The big plus was the Cuban cuisine (which is pretty close to what I ate growing up in a Dominican home). I had the ropa vieja with tostones and it was well prepared and scrumptious. Everyone tried something different, and all raved about how delicious the food was. Our server was very friendly and helpful to the Americanos that were with me :)! Food was served quickly. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be back for more comida criolla!! read more

The food was cold, asked to be reheated and it was still lukewarm! The plantains in garlic sauce were not super fresh or tasty. My shredded pork was good. The flan was awful, grainy and did not taste homemade. The kitchen manager really needs to step it up! This is not your typical Cuban restaurant from Miami, even though they say they are from Miami! read more

Food and service were super. I had the covered, smothered, pork chop plate maybe chuleta or something (actually can't remember the name), recommended by the waitress, and the customer sitting at the table across from us, it was delicious. Another person that our table got the Cuban sandwich and loved it. Bottom line you won't go wrong with the food or the service at this restaurant. Great local find. read more

I'm in Athens for work fairly often and this is by far the best restaurant there. There is usually live music and lots of rotating local beer. They have a pretty extensive menu with a few very good vegetarian options. I always get the root vegetable street tacos and they slap. I've taken many coworkers here and they all enjoy it read more

A nice neat and tidy dive spot. Went there on Monday afternoon and was met with outdoor live music! Nice treat and so were the delicious Tostones. ( Garlicky vinegar dipping sauce.. yum ) The employees were all kind and personable but with their own personalities. read more

Food was just reheated not cooked fresh fries cold rice hard rola 1 scoop of slop on a open plate Only thing good was the service read more

Busy, but not too busy on a holiday week Monday night. Appeared to be lots of locals, which is a good sign. Thankfully, it was relatively quiet, though there appears to be a stage for a band, so it could probably get very loud. Decent selection of beers. Great selection of food. Service was very lackluster, bordering on unacceptable. Server brought our main dishes out, so we assumed she didn't hear the appetizer order, but it showed up about half way through our meal. The main dishes were excellent. The appetizer was just okay. The ham croquettes were excellent, everything else was not very bland and overcooked. Stick to the main dishes and you'll enjoy your visit. read more

Angela's never disappoints! Nothing crazy except the menu, which is loaded full of choices that can easily confuse a hungry diner. There is a plethora of flavor to be enjoyed by any palate. The overall experience is fine as it is not fine dining nor is it fast food, it's a little bit country in the city and city in the country. I feel you really get a mix of the everything with wall murals, big screen TVs, a stage, a sports bar...... what more can you ask for when you want a meal and can't think of what to have? Lastly, the staff have got to be some of the absolute best! It never fails, they are always happy and fairly busy, because they have it all together. It's a great place to enjoy an unpretentious good meal! read more

A local favorite, the food is delicious. They moved from near downtown recently, so the address is a little inconsistent across platforms, So White street is correct, Madison Ave is the old location, and today there is a taqueria there. When I've ordered online it's been a bit confusing when I arrive for pickup, but even when the order wasn't precise (onions vs no onions and one other minor thing another time), it was flavorful and I was not disappointed. I include this for those who aren't flexible or have strict preferences. Beer, no liquor. Several to choose from, a veritable wall of taps. Latin American, Caribbean, mostly Cuban themed fare with basics for the kiddos and occasional weird friends with bland palates. It's busy at noon and 6-8pm. They have live music on weekends and a fun bar trivia game going every time I've been. I totally recommend Angela's. It's a local, unique, cool spot and I always look forward to it. read more

My first time at Angela's Miami Grill. I've had a lot of friends keep telling me to check it out. Love the live entertainment and atmosphere. The food excellent. Yes, a great experience and delicious food. I'm definitely planning to be a regular. Yes, I highly recommend this as a place for great food, service, atmosphere and when you are interested in live entertainment. read more

Was so disappointed, the menu has changed and portions were smaller, flavor was bland , im so sad, but we won't be back.

The burgers here are good but not the greatest. The live music they have is the same ole same ole. They don't have a liquor license so you can't have a drink except beer. The place is always clean though and the staff and servers are kind and attentive for the most part. I think the best meal thy have is the kid's chicken tender plate and fries. read more

Yeah - this place is delish! Drove by it the first time because I there's a marquee in the parking lot says something else and that's what I was looking at. I've been there twice now, so I know exactly where I'm going. My boyfriend works in the area and he's probably been there for five times already and he's only been working in the area for a month. Pretty standard inside nothing special, but there is a stage in the corner, so I'm assuming there's some kind of live entertainment from time to time. The tables ( all of which were full of what looked to be a lot of happy regulars) are a little close, but that just gives you a chance to see the other items on the menu, right? Lol The service is on point! Everyone was friendly, and our server was quick with the beverage refills! That's always a big plus for us, as it means, she's keeping an eye on us. My first visit was dine in for lunch And I ordered the Chimmi chicken with a side of their rice and beans and fried Tostones. The chicken was nice and moist and so very flavorful and the chimmi was perfectly delicious. The rice and beans were good although they came as two separate items and I would've thought they would've been some sort of mixture. The kitchen goofed and gave me sweet plantains, and when the waitress noticed what it was, she went back and got me a small order of the Tostones so I got to try both. Both were exactly what I expected. Serving size was just right, and by that I mean eat half for lunch, take the other half for leftover dinner. Tasted just as good warmed up. Second visit I just had to order "Angela's famous Cuban sandwich". Yum, Yum, Yum. The bread on that sandwich was the star and all the goodies inside work portion just right! I will say that I do have another favorite Cuban restaurant, not far from where I live, but Angela's sandwich beats theirs! Oh, and this was also a take-out order and what I found interesting was that I arrived at the restaurant probably about 15 minutes before it opened and I was not the only person in the parking lot waiting for them to open. I think that's a good sign. My boyfriend as I mentioned has been there several times, and I know he's ordered the Cuban sandwich at least twice and had their burgers. He said the burgers were flavorful and moist and that they put "real bacon instead of that skinny see-through stuff" some places use. read more

The restaurant is decorated nicely and the staff is very friendly. I've had steak tacos, cheese fries, and a patty melt from here. The food is decent but nothing to get excited about. It's overpriced and mediocre at best. I would try again but I'm in no rush to go back. My wife got the fish tacos and loved them. She liked it more than I did. read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Perfect combination for a fantastic meal

Great food and great service! We enjoyed sitting at the bar and appreciated their great selection of beers and ciders.

Just recently moved here and found this Cuban gem! So dig the Cuban sandwich ! The service was amazing! As they had live entertainment which I do love! Nice place to dine or hangout at the bar or listen to music! All around great place. ! Go get ya some ! read more

Authentic Cuban in East TN?! Yup!! Plus 10 beers on tap (not as many darks as I'd like), friendly staff and 2-4 sports games on TV in the bar area. Plenty of parking. Easy to see from both directions. read more

I ordered food to go for myself and my coworkers and the food was decent and flavorful. I was underwhelmed with the service. One salad did not have dressing with it. The taco meat itself (steak) was very flavorful, but the corn tortillas were broken in half. The habanero salsa was really good and not spicy. The to go food did not have napkins or utensils. For 3 meals ( a half salad without protein and 2 orders of street tacos) it was overpriced @$42 read more

Angela's Miami Grill - Street tacos - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Tennessee

Get the appetizer sampler! The pork is devine. They have a pork or chicken main with a onions and chimi sauce. I had the chicken and regretted not waiting for the pork chop resupply run. Not because I felt it a bad choice but because the chicken was so damn good I figure the pork chop would have been beyond epic. I will find out the second time I visit. The 30 minute drive each way was well worth it. I like family owned restaurants that stand out far more than a spendy posh joint. This place doesn't disappoint. read more

We had the nachos to start and they were really good. We tried two sandwiches and one was just okay, but the classic Cuban was amazing!! My husband had the green plantains as a side and they were good. I had the French fries and they were also way above average. Service was great. Would go back! read more

Owner is super cool, food is always a great portion. I love going to place trivia on the tv with Sam & my friends. Some seating even offers a sun room. Very nice staff and attentive. read more

2nd visit- we go anytime we are in the area! The chicken things -garlic parm, we're amazing! The steak frites was smaller than expected but so so good! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Worst! The wait was about 45 minutes for a sandwich and fries and fish. The fish plate had more french fries than anything. Just NOT impressed. read more

Everything was great. Food was brought out all at the same time. Just wish they could get PB&Jelly on tap. :(

Holy cow. What a gem, especially considering it's in Athens! Love the mojo pork, fried yucca, and tres leches cake.

Leeann was a great waitress who answered our questions and told us her faves and recommendations and kept our drinks fresh and brought the food out too. The food was delish! Between us we had, --Fajita Quesadilla with steak and beans and rice--made to perfection and tops DosBros! --Cheddar Cheeseburger on a special bun with fries --Small serving of "Chicken Things" --Cuban that was nicely toasted, good flavor with Fries The ambiance is very eclectic with upbeat music. It also features a stage for "Singo" Nights (Thursdays at 7pm). They have seating available at a sizeable bar or tables or some booths. read more

This place is a really good find! Broad menu including many authentic Cuban dishes. American food as well. Comfortable dining area, friendly service, and most importantly, our food was terrific. Definitely worth the 4 mile detour off of I-75 to check this place out! read more

Very high prices for very small portions. I paid around $20 for a 1/4 of a cuban sandwich with fries. This place used to be really good but they have steadily gone downhill over the last year or so. They were closing down at 7 PM on a Saturday because absolutely no one was there and I see why now. To be honest, being from Florida, this is absolutely not authentic Cuban food. They also put a double pending charge on your card and I was told that is their normal business practice for some reason. I won't be back. read more

Drive by today and decided to give it a try. Got the Cuban sandwich and fries. The sandwich was very good but a little to much mustard on it. The fries were good but could have been cooked just a bit more. I am originally from the Tampa Bay Area and have had lots of Cuban sandwiches and this was pretty close. A little smaller then Tampa Cuban sandwiches and for $14.00 plus tax it should be larger. Might go back if I. The area but not sure. The staff is very friendly and my togo order came out very quickly. Place seemed very clean when I was in there. read more

My dad lives near by & he told me we needed to try this restaurant. The staff all seemed really friendly, our waiter was Sophia (or Sophie?) and she was incredibly friendly & recommend some of her favorites to my dad when he wasn't sure what to order. Food came out really quick & tasted fresh. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

Awesome place. The food is great. So fresh and they give you large portions. The decor is fun and the people are amazing. We are so lucky to have this place in Athens! read more

The food was amazing, very flavorful. Our waitress was wonderful and very tentative. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Angela's Miami Grill - Cuban roasted pork, Grilled Vegetables and black beans and Rice & Beans - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Tennessee

What a great find. Five stars for multiple reasons. The place has charm. It show's its age, but is is brought to life with local entertainment, great service, friendly staff and most importantly - great food. We got the Shrimp Tacos and Fish Tacos. Both are outstanding. We also tried the Pasta Alfredo. The noodles were homemade. It was awesome. They also have cold draft beer. Our bill before tip was just under $50 bucks for 4 adults. I can't say enough. We really enjoyed our visit. I can't say we are in that part of the country much, but if we are again, we will make a point to stop in again. Best of luck to you folks! Outstanding. read more

This is another great local eatery. The new location is much bigger than the previous location and has attracted way more customers...which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Every time I have been there in the new location, it has been slamming busy and I think they try to fit too many people into their dining room. They do a good job keeping up with orders and service *but* I liked the smaller feel of the old location better. It wasn't as crowded, people weren't bumping into you, and I think the food was a little better there too. It may just be because they are rushing to get orders out. Don't get me wrong...You'll not find another local place around with a better hot sandwich like the Philly Cheesesteak or Cuban. read more

Ordered several cuban dishes for a party of 20. It was fantastic. And Angela made a flan that was to die for! My guests were so impressed with the food. Everyone that attended will be going to Angela's. Even the friends from Tampa were surprised at the wonderful Cuban food here in Athens, TN. read more

Great food! Always has great service and a nice atmosphere. Have never been disappointed. Love the new location to

The cuban sandwich was amazing. Always tasty food whenever we go there. Looking forward to the new location.

Good spot for a great Panini! Salsa & chips app was spicy & very good. Cool bar vibe also, I'd go back!
