    Tater boi biscuit sandwich
    Vivian L.

    A cute little drive thru shop with limited seating outdoors with plenty of parking around it! I parked and walked up to the window to order, and was greeted nicely, especially considering it was 7:30 in the morning. The go-nuts (donut holes) were so delicious!! About $5 per order, comes with an assortment of flavors. The texture was spongy with a little bounce in every bite. Not too sweet, but perfectly sweet enough. I also ordered a tater boi biscuit sandwich, which I was a little hesitant about because I don't like when biscuits are dry and stick to the roof of my mouth. This was definitely not that!! The biscuit had a good crunch on the outside and was moist on the inside. The jalapeño cream cheese added a nice contrasting texture and flavor. Stacked with the breakfast essentials of hash brown, egg, and cheese. What more could you ask for?

    New location: great vibe, love that it's on the walking trail. Limited draft beer menu. Frozen drink was good but very small. Grilled cheese was not very melted. Be cautious when making your fries spicy--very spicy. Good service.

    Stopped by before church, and because the drive through line was so long, we went to the window to order. The line at the window wasn't long, and drinks were fairly quick too. The drive through line would've have been bad either seeing it moved by pretty fast compared to my expectations. I paid around $7 for my dirty chai (16 oz), and it wasn't bad. Probably, one of the best ones I've had. Each donut is also $3.50 and it wasn't too sweet which is a bonus for me. Would recommend here for breakfast, but just know it's an outdoor cafe and do not have much seating. They also have dinner menu items like a burger. Also, be aware of their hours since they are not open all day everyday.

    They sell everything from donuts, to tacos, to burritos, to burgers, to iced coffee. The donut flavors also rotate throughout the season so you have to return and check out new ones. There's a drive thru along with a walk up order window and outdoor patio. One of my favorite local businesses in Athens!

    In Athens for the weekend and me and some friends were looking for some brunch and stumbled on Cafe Racer and honestly did not expect it to be this outstanding. First of all, it's primarily a drive through but they have a couple tables which was awesome because wait was short and it wasn't crowded!! We all ordered and had our food in 10 minutes which was the best thing ever because we're expecting to have to wait for brunch on a Sunday morning!!! I ended up getting a delicious latte with a biscuit with bacon egg and cheese and an espresso chocolate chip doughnut. This was stunning. Not only was it amazingly priced but it tasted amazing. 10/10!! I also tried their French fries from a food truck during the music festival and they were great. You can't go wrong with this place!

    I love a good biscuit sandwich and this place did not disappoint! There is only outdoor seating. The stuff was super nice and fast. We had a party of 10 and we all got our food within 10-15 min. I will be coming back!

    My second visit and I'm so impressed. It's quick , but not necessarily fast food! Who knew a drive thru could be decadent... these donuts are made with fresh ingredients and not greasy like chain places. The breakfast items and drinks blow away the mermaid place on every corner. Walk up Servín and outdoor dining available with multiple seating areas. A nice overall vibe! When in Athens - I'd come by and support this establishment. To make it even sweeter - the service team are very friendly and outstanding with their customer service! Recommendations from the menu : tater taco niño taco pecan pancake donut mocha donut both puff donuts are good coffee: hot pumpkin spice mocha w/ oat milk hotwhite chocolate dirty chai w/ oat milk or almond The oat milk has more of a grainy texture and nice

    I was in Athens for the weekend with some friends for Athfest and we were looking for a brunch spot on our way out of town. We got a recommendation for Cafe Racer and decided to check it out. It's primarily a drive through/fast-casual establishment, but since we were early on a Sunday morning, we beat the rush and were able to snag one of their few tables! I split a vanilla latte and a cinnamon sugar donut with one of my friends and got my own Buddy biscuit. The food came out super quick which I appreciated. The latte was excellent and my biscuit was so flaky and rich and I loved the melty pepper jack cheese on it. The donut was the absolute star. I had never had a potato donut before but I'm a believer now!! It's similar to a cake donut (which I usually prefer), so this was delicious. I'd love to try out their lunch menu items as well. Overall, great spot!!

    Everything on this menu is to die for! My personal favorite is the donuts. Truly the best donuts I've ever had. They have great outdoor seating but also have a drive thru if you're on the go! The pictures show just how cute and festive cafe racer is for every season/holiday. They always have a large crowd, especially on the weekends, but they handle it very well.

    I went during Athens Restaurant Week and was very pleased with my experience! From what I could tell, the only place to order was at a walk up window (or drive through). There was plenty of outside seating. Their special offer was BOGO My Pleasure Biscuits! I also got two of their potato donuts!!!!

    I drive past Cafe Racer all the time and have always wanted to try it and it didn't disappoint at all. I came on a Saturday at 10 A.M and they were still quick and efficient even with a line all the way around the building. The man taking my order was so nice and accommodating! He answered any question I had regardless of how busy or how many cars were behind me leaving me not feeling rushed or anxious which is always a plus. The woman who handed me my food was so kind as well and made the whole experience so nice. I ordered a "My Pleasure" which consists of fried chicken, egg, and pepper jack cheese. It was one of the best biscuits i've ever had. The biscuit itself was soft, airy, and buttery and overall just delicious. The chicken was seasoned well and it was juicy. The cheese was what set the whole sandwich off and was melted and falling off the sandwich. The hash brown was an average hash brown, it wasn't too greasy and it was cooked well and crispy which went well with the sandwich. I didn't go inside but the outside of the restaurant is so cute and modern looking.

Also got the steak nachos. It is a huge portion. I didn't like the guacamole, too much cilantro. I don't like cilantro. The chips were also a little thick. I like thin tortilla chips. Overall pretty good. It might be a little too authentic for my taste.

    This place has delicious street Mexican food (tacos, quesadillas, burritos, Mexican corn, etc.),…read moreespecially for being connected to a gas station. I wouldn't have expected it to be so delicious, but the tacos and sopes that I ordered were filled with meat and only cost $4-5 each. I got the steak and pastor tacos and the beef birria sope, and my friend got the pollo birria tacos. Be sure to clarify if you want the pollo birria vs. pollo quesabirria, though. Ordering 3 items filled me up. I got the meal to go and it came with consume sauce which was extremely tasty and not overly salty. It also came with some salsas which were yummy but spicy. The place was busy with takeout orders and people coming in to order, but it only took about 10 minutes to be ready. They have a decent amount of seating inside if you want to eat there but the majority of people got it to-go. I went on a Tuesday and they had a special for $2 tacos but I was told the tacos were smaller than the ones on the main menu with less meat so I didn't get them. I would be curious how they compare in size.

    The food is always delicious. This is not the issue…read more This review is about their price gauging for grilled chicken. My husband ordered the enchiladas verde with grilled chicken. The server told him there would be an upcharge for his meal. She could not tell us how much it was, nor was this up charge printed anywhere on the very busy, hard to read menu. When we received the check, the upcharge was $8 for a $15 meal of three enchiladas. This is an egregious and ridiculous charge for an item they already sell in numerous other dishes. It's almost the cost of a second meal. It's ridiculous the server's response was "I just push the button" and they had supposedly no idea. Our second meal - combo 10 with grilled chicken. (Two tacos, rice and beans). This $12.99 combo was upcharged to $21. There is a taco plate item on the menu - two grilled chicken tacos, rice and beans for $14.99. After we paid our bill, I asked for a manager - and he adjusted the bill to this price. I emailed via the website with no response. Clearly they have gotten too big to reply or care. We chose this location because our fav Mexican restaurant in Athens was closed on Sunday. Never again.
