    The food is so hit or miss. I had Chilis for the very first time a week ago and it was either too salty or too bland. I got the 3 for me, the sweet teas and lemonades are terrible. The burgers are mega bland while the chips and salsa are way too salty. I went a 2nd time a few days later and got the triple dipper, and replaced the big mouth sliders for southwestern eggrolls. The eggrolls were mega good, and so were the nashville mozzarella sticks and the honey chipotle crispers (tenders). I went again for a 3rd time and it was very disappointing. I got the triple dipper and the best tasting thing were the chips and salsa, but the nashville hot crispers and honey chipotle crispers were mega mega salty. The same went for the fried mozzarella sticks, like how on earth can their burgers be so bland, and the breading and coating of the fried foods be salty beyond reason. I could not force it down without drinking a gallon of water, and it wasn't even flavorful enough to enjoy. It was just pure saltiness. The vibes are ok, they could be worse but I'm indifferent, leaning more towards bad for that. In regards to the service, the servers I had so far seem very very neutral, they kinda look at me like I'm crazy half the time. If they had rude customers, they would definitely give them an even worse attitude and possibly snap at them. They could be worse though I guess.

    This was my boyfriend and I's first time eating at Chili's in Athens, and overall we were quite disappointed. We ordered the Southwestern Egg Rolls and the Classic Nachos with chicken, and were quite disappointed in the quantity and the prices. We took the meal to go, and between the two dishes and the $2 to-go tip the meal came out to over $27. Nonetheless, we were excited to open our food (after all, the menu promised over 2100 calories between the two-- a decent portion for two hungry guys). Imagine our surprise when we opened our food and found out that the nachos came with a total of 12 chips (crudely stacked on tinfoil-- see pic) and 3 Southwestern Egg Rolls. At best, our dinner in its entirety was maybe 1000 cal. Probably less. For $27 we were quite disappointed, though the friendly service at the car side stand makes for two stars instead of one.

    Amazing service. Great food. Good beer. Cameron was awesome. This place deserves more than 2 stars!

Athens is the first stop of an SEC college tour for my high school girls and after getting screwed by Avis giving us a lame-ass minivan rather than the Jeep that I reserved and our hotel being below Hilton standards (despite being a Hilton), a good, enjoyable dinner is what we were looking for. Compounding this issue was the fact that it was Valentine's Day on a Saturday night; for the record, VD is the absolute worst day in the world for guys. Most restaurants had waits of 45+ minutes and our appetites simply weren't in a position to cooperate with such a delay. We stumbled across Blind Pig Tavern and we immediately felt welcome. The staff was great, my spicy margaritas hit the spot and our food was A+. I went with the blackened fish sandwich and it had great flavor and it wasn't heavy. My girls enjoyed their salads and the nacho appetizer was devoured in five minutes flat. The best experience of our evening at Blind Pig Tavern was Mattie, our server. Not only was she friendly and engaging, but she has earned the title of the "Best Athens, Georgia Ambassador... Ever!" Her knowledge about the town she's grown up in and advocacy for attractions on and off the UGA campus was more than appreciated. Her livelihood and pride of her hometown and customer engagement has easily earned her this official/unofficial title! Please check out Blind Pig Tavern for some great eats and, if you're lucky, you may have Mattie as your server. And if you're from out of town, she'll immediately make you feel right at home.

Tried several types of burgers and sandwiches. Burgers were done as requested/ sides were good. Onion rings are fried-not the frozen and baked kind like some places. Slaw is good and fresh. But friend said the black beans were good-not overcooked and mushy. The fries were crisp. The sandwiches were on toasted bread and were tasty. Service: Servers were pleasant and helpful. Facility: Old but well maintained. Location: Conveniently located in a large strip mall with lots of parking. Other restaurants , grocery stores, etc nearby.

The food: I went with the Fried Chicken Blue Plate. Between the regular and the Nashville Hot, the Nashville was the winner--flavorful and moist without being overwhelming with the spice. Huge shoutout to my server for suggesting the brussel sprouts; that glaze is incredible and they were easily my favorite part of the plate. The mashed sweet potatoes were unique--I'm still debating if I liked them or loved them. The jalapeño cornbread was a bit sweet for my taste but on par with most restaurant cornbread. The mac & cheese wasn't bad, but also didn't do much for me like most restaurant mac & cheese. The cocktail: Do not sleep on Nana's Naissance. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ingredients, but it's like an elevated take on Rumchata. The service: I was seated at the bar and experienced a noticeable delay--a group that arrived well after me almost finished their meal before mine arrived. However, the waitress acknowledged the wait before I even had to mention it and made things right. I really appreciate that kind of proactive service. We're all human, and they handled the situation very professionally.

Nestled in a gorgeous building that was once a residential house, the restaurant has a gorgeous and cozy ambience that makes you feel like you're visiting with friends from the moment you enter. The menu changes with the seasons, and I've never been less than impressed with the often-inventive dishes. I highly recommend starting with their cast iron cornbread. It sounds simple, but it's truly elevated. Right now, the sweet potato brown butter pierogies are absolutely mouth-watering, and the hazelnut bread pudding is rich and a perfect blend of sweetness and cream. The waitstaff is top notch and you'll receive better, more attentive service here than at restaurants with much larger price tags in Atlanta. They also have an impressive cocktail program and wine list. On the "it's the little things" list, the candles 5 & 10 uses in the restroom are outstanding!
