Tried the Porknado for something unique and it was filling and delicious! Wife got wings and loved the crisp on them. We will be back to try the wide selection of drinks! read more

Catch 22 Gastropub - Porknado Burger & Potato Salad - New American Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Every few years I give this place a try again and consistently am disappointed. Definitely will never try again. Food is hit or miss. Service is either OK or abysmal. I typically don't write reviews this negative, but I think it's definitely worth avoiding. So many better options for Food and Athens. Wings were burnt to a crisp and so dry you couldn't even get them off the bone. The piece of slow cooked beef I got was all fat and not edible. We attempted to order beer and struck out five times before they actually had one on their menu in stock. The waitress was not aware of what they did and didn't have so just kept coming back five times to tell us sorry that one was out. Literally ended up ordering a corona on draft. That's not exactly what I was going for at a place that prides themselves on a large amount of beer on tap. read more

Food is interesting and well prepared for a bar. Good selection of beers. A bit on the pricey side. Will definitely go back, though. The people and service are laid back and attentive. read more

First off we visited the new Monroe location and they were having a "soft opening". It was busy most of the day and by the time we stepped in we were able to sit at the bar as we walked in. The vibe was 90's grungish industrial theme. They had some clever names on their products and they were some cool mixtures. If you want to try something you have not tried they will provide it. We tried the cheese curds as a starter and they were decent but the rosemary was strong in the herb mix, it's also the same herb mic that comes on the fries. We also had the burger with the jalapeños and pork and it was delicious. A couple beverages and the bill was right along with everything else. read more

Read the reviews about how great the food was and decided to come here and try it for lunch. It did not disappoint! The wings were great as were the potato salad. I also had the pineapple upside down cake which was kinda small but tasty. My only complaint is the price seems a bit high. But still very good. Service was great too. Parking is a little limited but that's pretty standard for the area. read more

Love this place. If you are dumb, selfish, and/ or a Karen, you will be sad here. We come here frequently and always get fabulous food and great service. Tons of food and awesome kitchen! Best fries in Athens. WONDERFUL, personable bartenders as well. If you are not getting good service, perhaps you should consider how you're treating them in turn. read more

Servers are nice. Disappointed with queso and chips. Fish batter was thick and not fully cooked and greasy. But herb fries and jalapeño tartar sauce was a nice touch. read more

Catch 22 Gastropub - Front of the restaurant great outside seating. - New American Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I had eaten at this location about a year ago when I was up in Athens for work. I was in the area and came back today for lunch. It was just as good as I remember. The service is outstanding (thanks Sarah) and all the food is outstanding. Great little local place with a cool vibe. Today I have the salad and it really hit the spot. read more

Catch 22 Gastropub - House Salad with Mojo Pulled Pork. - New American Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Stopped in for lunch last week and I have to say their chipotle bbq wings are absolutely amazing! Service was fast and the restaurant was covered in cool stickers and bottles of alcohol. My daughter loved the tomato soup and grilled cheese. The bacon on the BLT was very thick and delicious. The buttermilk pie was creamy and delicious. read more

This place has a great dive bar atmosphere and the servers and bartenders are excellent. We have always left satisfied, but on our recent visit we ordered the chicken/corn nachos and it literally had about 12 chips and possibly a cup of chicken/corn mixture for $21! All the other portions are huge so this was confusing. It tasted great but very overpriced. Hopefully this was just an off day. read more

Loved the Calabrese salad to start. The wings had a great flavor but a little chewy. I think the cook was great I think it was the quality of the wing. The burgers also looked amazing. Next time. Great, polite staff. Upgrade the wine Please!! read more

I'm a little late in writing my review. My husband and I came here for a late lunch/early dinner. We were seated right away. Our server was a bit quirky, but she was great with being attentive. The food came out quick and was delicious. I ordered the filthy fries with pork. Wow! Sooo good and flavorful. I ordered a margarita and it "meh." They have mainly craft beer and standard cocktails. The only specialty cocktails were fall flavors, which isn't my preference. Overall, I would come back to dine in again. read more

Visiting from out of state. Randomly chose this place on held. Great beer selection for flights. The wife inhaled her house burger before I could get halfway through my Ruben. Both were very satisfying. I would come back. read more

Great staff. Great food. Cool vibe. Highlights were Patty Melt, French Dip, Buffalo Dip and the Fries.

Came here about 5:40 Friday, which I get would be busy. But we were seated quickly with no wait, then proceeded to sit outside for about 20 minutes before even getting waters or a server. Once we got a server she was nice but when we ordered we didn't get our food until 7:30, every other table outside had already left at that time. Kitchen must be a chaotic mess. Food want bad but definitely not worth the price for around 20 bucks for small plates. read more

First visit and I would say that this is more of a drinking spot than a food spot. It was probably 20% occupied on this Thursday night. They do have a decent selection of crafts and I did see flights offered in some pictures on Yelp. I asked if they had flights because they were not on the menu and the server said they did so I ordered a flight which consisted of four 4 ounce pour,s. Found out when I got the bill that I was charged an obscenely high $13 for the flight (what equates to one beer!). I've never paid that much for a beer flight anywhere. I ordered the blackened tuna sandwich with a side of potato salad. I asked the server to have them cook the salmon medium, unfortunately it came out rare. The potato salad was very good. The dinner "plates" were wooden painter's palettes - cute, but not very hygenic. read more

This place is to die for! I loveee the french dip. The fries are the best in Athens. The service has always been efficient and kind. Make sure you don't leave a shitty tip (you never should), but this place has a board with shitty tips they've gotten. I love reading it. These servers deserve to be tipped, as do they anywhere else. The restaurant itself is very laid back and pretty casual. However, the food is worth some good money. Highly recommend! read more

Great drinks, food and atmosphere. Always something different and outside the box. Never had a bad meal!

Food was oversalted, chicken dip wasn't dip it was chicken soup. Servers rushed us out saying they are closing early it was 3pm. almost everything my husband and I wanted they were out of. multiple servers wiped the same tables over and over they were not caring about the customers. read more

Great wings and buffalo dip! The wings are nice and crispy and well seasoned! You won't be disappointed!

Went to dinner last night with the family and had the best experience! Started off strong with the best hostess Bella! Got started with the pretzel which is to die for and the mustard dip, oh my gosh! Then we moved into the main course! Me and my brother had burgers and mom had a grilled cheese that was so big it had to be eaten by the slice! It was all so good! Finished with a piece of jacks cheesecakes! read more

Oh boy. This place is not for the unadventurous or those who prefer small portions of bland food. Hubs and I stopped on our roadtrip and luckily we brought our appetites. Even so, I would like to caution the unsuspecting foodie that these portions are huge. We started with the Tater Tot Poutine with braised beef and brown jalapeño gravy. Arrived speedy quick. Spicy, salty, crunchy, ooey-gooey and super cheesy. I opted for the grilled cheese with tomato soup & hubs got the "Chef's Choice" hotdog. The sriracha cheddar bread on my grilled cheese was savory and tasty. The tomato soup was the perfect place to dip that gooey goodness. Hubs' hotdog was a bit disappointing because the chef used the same toppings as the tater-tot poutine. We didn't really want to double down on the poutine, even though it was delicious. Service was speedy, but I do think the server should let the kitchen know what apps are ordered prior to the chef's choice so there's not a repeat of flavors. The place was relatively quiet and comfortable. It's a great place to stop for a meal and a beverage. Bring your appetite! read more

Had a great Korean Bowl special that was delicious! This was a chef's special that had spicy shrimp, scallops and a white fish on noodles.

Always quality food. We love chefs pick items and will absolutely be back. Great staff.

The service, atmosphere, drinks, and styling were great! Food, kind of needs little more work. _________________________________________________________ PARKING | [The location is in a store complex, so there is plenty of parking, so I know you wont have a problem with parking at all.] _________________________________________________________ EXTERIOR & INTERIOR | [The location is near epps bridge and in front of khols. Now it is a little hard to see the building because there is another business store that's in front of the complex which puts Catch 22 in a blind spot. So you do have to look carefully to where it is at and see their logo. When you go inside, it is designed like any other bar in Athens. Very focused on the sports bar life and focusing on one subject. UGA football.] _________________________________________________________ IS IT CLEAN? | [For a bar, surprisingly, it does stay moderately clean.] _________________________________________________________ FOOD & DRINKS | [Before I get to the food, let's talk about the drinks. The drinks are like any other bar in Athens, simple and similar. Don't expect to get some awesome amazing drinks at this bar. Its the same drinks you get from any other bar, and a majority of it is beer. Now, food is important because this is also shown as a restaurant as well. And the only thing I can say about it is this... It needs a little more work. The ideas and variety are great, but the taste and satisfaction of it weren't there at all. I received a french dip sandwich and another sandwich, that I can't remember at the moment, which did not turn out great and there was a little more than what it needed to be in one serving. Taste and texture weren't there, and the flavor was not that savoring.] _________________________________________________________ SERVICE ‍‍| [Staff for the most part is friendly, but they get distracted easily. And when I mean distracted, I mean chatting too much with their co-workers to where they forget about their customers.] _________________________________________________________ OVERALL | [Is it a good place to go, possible. But for the food, you can find a much better place to eat. This place is probably only good for, like any other bar in Athens, watching UGA football. And I don't even like UGA football and was there to try the food.] read more

We started with the cheese pita and it was an indulgent start to the meal. I was a bit full when our burgers got to the table and only able to eat half. They unique burger options that kept me from really looking at the rest of the menu. I've eaten here twice after a busy day of shopping and it didn't disappoint. read more

Love this place, the staff, the menu, the draft selection and the atmosphere! And let's not forget the tip board of shame!

Food is great! Would love a Scoville 100000 habanero base wing sauce. Servers are a delight!!! Would be great if they would step up their tequila selection. Arette Suave Reposado, Cazcanes reposado, Siete leguas Reposado, and Cascahuin blanco round bottle would be some readily available suggestions. read more

I haven't been back since 2018, and I enjoy seeing this memory pop up on Facebook. Jayde, I'm sure you can't keep those business cards in stock due to high demand and are rolling in your tip money. And Richard. Well, you sir, are a real gem. The service was terrible, food was great. And I agree maybe drawing something phallic on a receipt may not of been the most mature thing to do (unfortunately I cannot take credit for the artwork), it was certainly and wildly more appropriate than being screamed out in the parking lot while leaving the restaurant by waitress extraordinaire Jayde, and then being harassed on social media for an honest review. But as I said, the food awesome. Cheers! read more

This is my 2nd time here..the first time was AWESOME..I was alone and told the server to give me whatever he wanted...he gave me the "secret chef special"..which was a "Bloody Mary Ramen". The best I ever had! Omg, it was soo good! This time, I brought 4 friends. VERY picky friends. They LOVED it! They think I'm the foodie shiznit! Thank you, Catch 22! We ordered the Porknado, the double double, fish and chips, ramen, filthy fries, sliders, and the chef special burger, which was a burger with pork belly on top! Wow! Just wow! Everyone loved it! Thank you so much for the great service and great food. I will be back, and I'll bring others with me. Ne sure and look at the pictures of our dinner! read more

Some good food and nice variations on the usual pub / sports bar fare. Food 4/5 We liked the tuna "Take down Tacos" and Bacon Avocado Burger. Their Bacon Fried Brussels Sprouts were yummy and the House-made sour cream potato salad was excellent. Service 5/5. Our server in mid-afternoon, Haley, was attentive and pleasant. Facility 3/5 Usual sports bar motif Clean bathrooms quiet in mid-day during the week so I can't judge Location 5/5 Conveniently located off busy highway- in small strip mall but adequate parking read more

The food is amazing! Their menu is interesting and different, but delicious! The service was fantastic! I highly recommend!

Looking for a place to have a drink? This is it!!! 2 pages of beer and 2 pages of wine and liquor. On top of that the food is good to. Son had the porknado. Great burger with bacon jam, bacon, mayo, pull pork, and bacon. Wife had the grill cheese. Adult version of a classic. And I had the Carolina bbq wings. Every thing was good but wings could be cooked longer. read more

Met some friends there for a quick bite on a Saturday evening. They're somewhat regulars and have told me about it but it took me a while to get there. It's a cool little pub with a pretty decent bar selection and food to match. Although the drink menu offers some really interesting options I stick with my Handsome Johnny with Tito's. And it was garnished with a nice piece of candied ginger which I truly appreciate. For my meal I ordered a seared ahi sandwich and chose bacon potato salad as my side instead of fries, coleslaw, or veggies. The sandwich was really good! Ahi cooked perfectly and seasoned really well so you can still taste the freshness of the ahi adding only an influence of seasoning complimenting it perfectly. The potato salad was delicious! Why didn't I ever think to put bacon in mine?? My only downside is the location which is in a small part of the shopping area tucked behind Athens Art and Frame and Little Caesar's. They deserve to be closer to the university. read more
