There are a lot of great places to eat and grab a drink in Athens, but The Place continues to be my…read morefavorite. The food is always excellent, the drinks are fantastic, and Caitlyn behind the bar makes an already great experience even better. I've been carefully considering the appropriate rating, and after extensive research, thoughtful deliberation, several drinks, and absolutely no questionable mathematical estimates whatsoever, I've arrived at the following: 5 stars. 57 if Yelp would let me. Fantastic place. Highly recommend. I'll definitely be back as I've been here 50+ times. I might even celebrate my 57th birthday here, if I make it!!!

Not a long wait on a Saturday night, drinks were good and service was good. Not too big or loud but…read moreloud enough where you can talk to your friends and have a good time.

Stopped in on a Sunday morning and it was not crowded so able to grab some tables for our group…read more The employee greeted us at the counter right away and we were able to place our order and get our drinks to sit and catch up with each other. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time with our large order and since it was quiet it gave us good time to chat. All of the food came out hot and prepared as ordered. The eggs were cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the waffle since it was more savory with the breakfast sandwich. My kids both loved their fries and sandwiches they ordered. Said the fries were cooked great and had LOTS of toppings. The chicken on the sandwich was also tender and juicy! They really also enjoyed their order. We were visiting the area and wishing we had one in our area as I could see this becoming a go to place.

Idk why but I was expecting a sit down restaurant. I'd had it saved in my list of places to check…read moreout but didn't really read through the reviews before going. I wanted a raw experience, not influenced by others. So I was a bit deflated when we walked in and it was counter-order setup but that's okay. There seemed to be only one person working. She was really nice and helpful but surely busy, which was fine, but as we were leaving the crowd started hitting and I wondered how well she could manage that solo. I could be wrong though, someone may have been in back and I just couldn't see. I ordered the Overhard Egg, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Melted Cheddar, Mayo Waffle with Spiced Tots (nice). Hubby ordered the Super Cluck with Maple Glazed Chicken, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Cheddar, Sriracha Mayo, Sunny-Side Up Egg. Mine was good, his was super yummy, just the right amount of heat and sweetness. Oh! I also gotta mention the REAL Vermont Maple Syrup. That's very much appreciated over corn syrup garbage. Nice touch! We both had regular coffees. I would've liked a decaf option, since I'm a bit intolerant to caffeine but I can drink it. The coffee had good flavor. I think maybe having the creamers in disposable individual ramekins is probably just extra work if not for to-go orders but that's whatever. It's a cool place and I can see why it's popular. The food hits and if I lived closer we'd probably frequent this spot. Worth checking out if you haven't been.

In town for a wedding but made sure we came pass for breakfast. Parking can get packed quick. The…read morewait was about 15-20 min, they ask that you look over the menu during that time so that you can order quickly once called upon for seating. The hostess was kind and jolly. The menu is pretty straightforward with classic dishes, it also includes lunch options. Several of the beverages include free refills as well. We ordered the salmon Benedict, French toast plate, and back and egg scramble. The food came out within about 20 min of ordering and being sat, in waves. The salmon cakes were a bit dry and could've used much more hollandaise, so the hot sauce really helped! And the poached egg was cooked well done so we missed out on the runny egg. The potatoes were nicely seasoned and the drop biscuits were so delicious. We cleaned the French toast plate! And the scramble was just OK--the side of grits were cooked just like at home. We'd absolutely come back and try a few more items.

I want to start off by saying I'm giving three stars because this place is very clean, had pretty…read moresolid customer service, and a lot of options for folks to choose from. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of our drinks. We got one drink that was sugar-free to accommodate our dietary needs, and it was not good at all. The passionfruit tea was pretty good. I would get it with less sugar because it's naturally very sweet. With that I wish they had more sugar-free options for those who need it and still want to enjoy a refreshing lemonade or tea. this spot is located right next to an apartment with very few parking spots in front. So I can't imagine how crowded it may get during busy peak hours. If you are not diabetic or you do not need sugar-free beverages then I would say it's worth trying. However, if you do have some dietary restrictions when it comes to sugar level, I do not recommend recommend.

I try to do my research and patronize businesses that I think will be good, but this is a new one…read morethat I was not sure about. Apparently this is a widespread international chain that originated in Taiwan, though I cannot remember seeing one before. I thought maybe they would be trying to pass off a low-quality product on a college town audience. However, I am pleased to report that it was as good as any bubble tea place I've been to in a while. My kumquat lemon tea came with delicious lychee jellies by default, and I experienced no difficulty or extra charge by opting for half sugar and half ice. These turned out to be good choices as my tea was just sweet enough and the little bit of ice was just enough to make my tea cold without wasting space. The flavor was quite complex and I enjoyed it to the last drop. Their tea menu is sizable and intriguing, and the people working here appeared to know what they were doing. Notably, they had waffles which smelled awfully delicious, but contrary to what my Yelptastic profile might suggest, I do not eat everything in sight, and I did not have room for a waffle. But the people who did get one looked happy.

I decided to try the salmon eggs benedict, and it was nothing short of outstanding--a beautiful fusion of flavors with perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, and fresh, high-quality salmon. Every bite was satisfying and thoughtfully prepared. The rustic potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right, making them the perfect complement to the dish. I also ordered mimosas made with fresh-squeezed orange juice, which added a refreshing and vibrant touch to the entire experience. What impressed me most was the attention to detail, from the presentation of the food to the overall quality of the ingredients. You can really tell they care about what they serve. I drove 40 minutes just to try this place, and it was absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier brunch experience!

We came for a birthday with our girlfriends. Our food was delicious but even though they weren't busy, they rushed us so much! We were celebrating a birthday and at the 15 birthdays we've celebrated at this restaurant before this, they always brought a birthday crepe and this time they didn't. Then they cleared EVERYTHING from our table the second we paid. Water glasses everything. The birthday girl looked at the man clearing our table and said "well, I guess that's our que." There's no way they needed our table, there were plenty open. It was just disappointing when you have certain expectations regarding service when this specific restaurant created the expectation!

We shared the waffle breakfast. With an extra two eggs over medium (my favorite) and the potatoes. The grits are really good, but better with syrup.

Shoutout to 809-Gabriel who helped us in 7/11/26 was excellent. 1037-Natalia was nice but a bit of an attitude and not as friendly and easy to talk with like Gabriel. We'll both be back again.

NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT PICK FLYING BISCUIT! They do NOT have gluten free anything. Last visit, 9…read moremonths ago, I chose to eat gluten. I do that sometimes when I just can't decide but I pay for it for about a week. I don't try to do that anymore. lol I did notice many similarities so the sweet gluten must be what is good there. I consider all that processed sugar and the gluten filled garbage GMO flours to be horrible for our bodies. That happens as you learn how these foods actually affect your body and DIS-EASE! Now, I am weeding out the restaurants I will no longer eat at. If you don't care about the wellbeing of your customer's health, then you only care about $$$! I will no longer be eating at establishments that don't use quality ingredients and will focus more on Mom & Pop Locally owned places that do! These businesses need to do better so we aren't constantly sick and medicated beings! They have brainwashed us to eating garbage that other countries do not allow! The ONLY positive thing I can say is the hostess was on point! She was constantly working, bouncing around, handling things, completely pleasant with a smile on her face. She is the reason for 2* and not 1. She was the only 1! I'm only giving a description of her so she is recognized because I do not know her name. Cute dark skinned woman with her hair pulled back with a head band/wrap. She deserves a raise and employee of the month! Everyone else seemed pissy or too concerned with whatever gossip they had to chat about. Waitress literally said, "They just consider it gluten friendly by taking the bread off". Not even grits or potatoes are listed as "GF". Manager came out to explain why grits weren't GF. Idk why they try to appear "healthy". They offer alternatives to pork, but that's about it. Manager said the grits company doesn't claim to be GF so therefore they don't. Well, if the company isn't claiming it, they are most likely using the cheapest of the cheap GMO'd corn! Obviously, just my opinion, but I'm so tired of these restaurants charging so much for garbage food. Waitress is extremely pleasant! lol That is sarcasm for anyone not tracking. Brought the hubs unsweet tea when he ordered sweet! Lol Asked if we were ready to order 3x in less than 5 min while our heads were still down staring at the menus. Then, when we were ready, she was taking money for a guy at the bar, serving another table a beverage, and serving another table their food, while 3 other employees stood around a cleaning station chatting. An elderly gentleman and his caregiver came in but the hostess was outside for some reason. He sat himself at a dirty table. They ignored him until he started waving his arm at staff. I saw the interaction prior. 1 employee saw what he had done and told the others but they ignored the dirty table and the people until he got agitated. Then, they moved him to the table behind him, that they did clean while he was sitting there waiting to be acknowledged. We needed a quick bite in between Dr appts. I wish we had driven a bit further rather than coming here. I'm not hopeful for the cheese grits with turkey bacon I selected because nothing else was appealing and wouldn't destroy my stomach. Guess I'll deal with inflammation today from the gmo corn. The hubs got an egg and cheese biscuit. She didn't ask him how he wanted his eggs cooked or what kind of cheese. It's a mystery what he will get lol. Yes! I am writing this while sitting here! lol It's been 10+ minutes since the old man moved tables and the table he sat at is STILL dirty with dishes. Waitress just came to inform us, after waiting 20 minutes already, that they put pork bacon in my grits so it's going to be a few more minutes. I'm confused??? Why is my husband's food not being brought out? That means his is sitting back there waiting on my GRITS! Come on! 5 more minutes and the results???? Absolutely the most disgusting thing I've ever seen brought out. Check out the picture! lol what on earth is that even? Tasted like generic cheese soup dumped on top of a tiny bowl of semi good grits with half a slice of bacon cut up in it. They called that "Loaded" grits. Lol It was disgusting and those grits are NOT creamy or dreamy! They are so cheap they don't even get the GF tag. lol The hubs biscuit was horribly dry, so little egg you couldn't see it, and the "moon dusted" potatoes tasted like yesterday's home fries, with no dusting or even salt. Quite literally the worst food and service I have seen in a long time! Watched 2 servers NOT sit a family with a girl on crutches, waiting for the hostess to finish dealing with a to-go order. It was like no one helps anyone in there and the customer is last on the priority list!
