My wife and I had made the trek to Athens to get her drivers license renewed and decided to make a day of it. After meandering about the square we drove a couple of blocks south and arrived right at noon. It's August, so of course it's warm inside, thought the A/C was running full blast. The folks inside were very friendly. I had ordered the burger and onion rings, while my wife got the chicken strip meal. The chicken strips were large, and the gravy was perfect. She had a four piece order, and could only finish three of the pieces. Naturally, I had to taste too. Very good. As for mine, the onion rings were crispy and crunchy, and easily the best part of the meal. My only disappointment was that my burger was pretty pink. It should have stayed on the flattop a bit longer. We would definitely go back. read more

This place is like a Dairy Queen. The burger was very good though it was small and the price was a bit too much for the combo and I barely got any onion rings and then I figured the combo came with a drink I was wrong, but like I said I would eat a burger here rather than DQ. My wife had the tacos with just meat and cheese and there was barely any meat and cheese DQ usually loads it on, so not impressed. The service at the front counter was very kind and nice, but it also almost took 30 min for us to get our food I was disappointed waiting for so long and paying what I did for such small servings sizes, especially when we were the only ones in the place. The place was clean which was nice. So all this being said I'll give it 2.5 stars but I can't so 3 stars it is. read more

Terrible. Just premade frozen patties cooked badly. The tater tots tasted bad. Both orders were wrong. Cost additional money to correct the orders. Don't waste your time or money. Too many better places to eat in Athens. read more

Benson's is one of the best places to eat in Athens! It's comfort food at its' best! They have juicy hamburgers, onion rings, nachos, tacos and the list goes on and on. If you want to add something, just ask them! Buffy the owner is a good ol' hometown girl ~ her Daddy used to own the Dairy Queen's here. read more

Burger King in Athens Texas,had a hair in my hamburger,no hairnets,5/15/2024, service was good,but can't say I will go back

Unfortunately the staff is under qualified , they are very nice but poorly trained, IMHO. The food is certainly nothing special. 2 stars though because the burger was actually ok. Other than that the cleanliness was pretty dismal. read more

The menu board in the drive through is so old you can't read much of it. There are too many items and quality is not a focus.

This place is the best 10/10 recommend. very good Service and very nice people should try when in Athens

I love the hamburgers, hot dogs, and the ice cream ! Everything that I have tried here as been amazing and the staff is so great too. I got my last order delivered with Waitr and used the code LOCAL5 for 5.00 off. read more

Great customer service! Came in for fro yo based on Yelp profile but they don't serve it. However the soft serve is delicious!

Quality food, fair prices, friendly staff and best of all clean restrooms! But let me tell you about my favorite hornet stinger burger... Homemade cheddar jalapeño Bun, Jalapeño bacon, habanero cheese, secret sauce, And cold veggies. If you're a Yankee you're gonna need Pepto-Bismol read more

The food was so-so. Asked the manager politely for more gravy and git quite the look. Not a pleasant atmosphere, at least on that day.

No stars the service was so bad that I waited 45 min to get my food and still didn't get it I got a refund and I will not go back for a long time if ever. read more

pretty good food that is reasonably priced, but it takes them forever to get it to you, and the driveway is so small that it can only fit 3 vehicles. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would! After not only messing up our order, they attempted to replace our wrongfully made chicken sandwich by WIPING off the mustard rather than making a new sandwich without mustard. They clearly do not care about anybody's allergies or providing customer service. They were very rude and made it seem like we were an inconvenience to them. Not to mention, one of the kitchen staff employees was SITTING on the food trays behind the counter. We will NOT be returning. read more

What shit is this? the service is piss poor (understatement, but better than other things i'm thinking) all because they didnt give me a burger. i asked them w burger and what i get is a salad on a bun? NO GROUND BEEF PATTY?! and customer service didnt want to fix it after i told them that the meat was missing. I would gladly give this "restaurant" a 0 out of 5 but sadly i have to give it a 1. HIRE BETTER SERVICE! read more

My coworker just got to work with his steak finger basket. They forgot the steak fingers!! Only had fries and toast in the box. He called them and they told him to come back in 24 hours. You can decide for yourself. I gave them 1 star because they were open. read more

Went in for lunch, not expecting much. Walked in and the place was spotless. The counter, the floor, the tables, the restroom--everything shiny clean. The employees up front were still cleaning things before and after they took my order. The place wasn't empty either...it was lunchtime on a weekday. The food was clearly made just after I placed my order and was served hot. Food very good, it's fast food and doesn't pretend to be anything else. I was impressed with the service and the cleanliness of the place. read more
