    Bloody Mary

    I'm giving this place a 3 only because the bloody Mary's were delicious and our server was friendly. Wait times were not long either which was a plus. The inside and outside was clean but it was a little dark inside. The food however, was awful. The garlic parm wings on the sampler were so garlicky you could barely eat them. And not too garlicky in a good way. The wraps were cold. The mushrooms were soggy, yuck! The quesadilla had zero flavor and the fries were awful. The Reuben wasn't even a Reuben. ZERO and I mean ZEROOOOOO sauerkraut, one baby squirt of sauce, and the most rubbery corned beef squares I've ever seen. I ordered loaded fries. Didn't receive them. They also still charged me for loaded fries. When I brought it to her attention she did take it off our bill which was nice. I recommend this place if you want to drink but the food was just terrible.

    Peach Champagne Slushie

    Broney's is the shittiest bar in Athens I've been to. It's the worst service there is. The atmosphere is total bullshit. It almost has nothing good to say about it. The champagne slushies they serve up is the one thing. I think it's funny how bad this bar is. It's called the alumni bar. The alumni would never come to this piece of shit. It was pretty clean inside. The service though is unforgivable. Bartenders are the rudest in town and that's saying something. The peach champaign slushies are the only reason to go back. I would not go to Broney's except for the slushies. They're all there that's good. Would like this to close because it's taking up valuable space in this cool town.

    I love broneys. One of my favorite spots. Love the chairs. I enjoy the atmosphere very much. It is dark yet calming. The food is splendid!

    Stopped in for a quick bite on my drive home. The burger and onion rings were superb. No complaints.

    Hard to even give this one star. Slow service, slow kitchen and super underwhelming. Save yourself the experience and stay away.

    Went to Jackie O's tonight with a couple of friends for the first time. I ordered the Appalachian…read more It was fine, but nothing to write home about. We got cheese curds to start. One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

The wrap-around bar gives it a welcoming, communal feel--perfect for grabbing a seat solo or catching up with friends. The beer selection is limited, but what they do have is decent, albeit a little on the heavier side. It's the kind of place where you don't need a massive tap list--just a few good options done right. What really surprised me were the wings. Locally sourced and noticeably larger than your average bar wings, they were absolutely packed with flavor--easily some of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with the perfect amount of dry rub. Worth the visit for those alone. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food, good beer, and a neighborhood-pub kind of feel, this place delivers.

We were honestly excited!! baby sleeping, toddler ready to eat, outdoor seating available. It should have been the perfect stop. It went downhill fast. My husband asked the host for highchairs and both were broken. Wobbly, broken buckle straps (safety issue) we don't risk it with our kids. After asking again, they found another one. Not a great start, but okay. Then we waited at least 10 minutes before our server even came to get drink orders. When she finally did, we placed our food order and she didn't write a single thing down. By the time we needed refills, our server had completely disappeared for 20-30 minutes. Eventually a different server brought our meals. When my husband asked for drink refills, she told us we could refill them ourselves at the station in the front. What?? We've never been told to go refill our own drinks at a sit down restaurant ‍ My husband asked where our server was, and the second server clearly wanted nothing to do with helping us since we weren't "her table." He ended up going inside to find a manager, and the entire front area was full of staff gossiping and arguing with each other. Total chaos. The manager eventually came out and did absolutely nothing to make the situation right. On top of the service issues: * Outdoor seating with no lids for drinks = bugs flying into cups * They clearly need new highchairs if you're advertising as family friendly * Food was very sub par. Mac and cheese was NOT it, brisket was just okay. Dry but good flavor I guess LOL. We were really disappointed. This stop had so much potential, but the service and overall experience were a mess. Honestly, skip this place and pack a lunch!!!!. ‍
