    Dubs is a little dive place for burgers and dogs. You can grab a stool and belly-up to the counter or sit at a table. I like sitting at the counter and watching them grill burgers and fry the french fries and onion rings. You're so close to the action that you might get some grease on you! I got two burgers, onion rings, and fries to go for the wife and I. The burgers were overcooked and I noticed that they pre-cooked and had been sitting on the warm side of the grill. The onion rings were large, but the grease probably needed to be refreshed since it was late in the day. The fries were decent. Overall, Dubs is a local greasy dive. I probably caught them late in the day just before closing, so I will give them another shot. The prices were very good!

    We love eating here. This is one of the oldest restaurants around. The burgers are just like the old days and they are juicy and delicious. My husband ordered the chocolate pie and I took one bite and ordered one of my own. Seriously, this is the best chocolate pie I have ever had in my life. As soon as you walk in the staff greets you. You have to seat yourself. The wait staff was so friendly but very professional. The place reminds me of a "greasy spoon" but it's its far from that. The furniture is old but it's clean. It could probably use a floor change. I recommend everyone try this tasty treasure we call Dub's.

    Guy Fieri needs to put this place in an episode of Diners, Drive in's and Dives! One of the best burgers I ever had!!! The hand made beef patty was fried up to perfection to where it was actually crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I went there while visiting my parents and their Senior Citizens club in Tennessee and it was my 2nd time in Alabama. I would go back just for this burger. The place seems like it has been around forever. It's only open for lunch and was so packed! The waitress was a good sport as she had to split the bills. The atmosphere was like out of a basement. It was run down and the bathroom was super nasty... but that burger... wow. Oh! And the onion rings! Yum! Best part about this burger? It was only like $3. As a New Yorker? That's unheard of!!! Would be $13 at home! Long Live Dubs!!!

    Let's hear it for Dub's! A hometown favorite that's been keepin it real since as far back as I can remember. It was always a family tradition to grab a Dub's burger during the Christmas Parade and it's such a fond memory of mine. A Dub's burger is a slug burger which came about way back when in a time when meat was scarce but appetites were hearty. They mix a bit of beef with spices and a filler such as crackers or breadcrumbs. If you ask me, it's a little but of heaven between two soft buns. You may want more than one because by most modern standards they are small but a burger all the way with a side of rings fills me right up. If you do want another (whether it be for gluttony or actual hunger, I don't judge) feel free to order! They cook em quick and sell em cheap so there's barely any wait and no need to worry about $$$. Whether you're a local or just passing through, stop by Dub's and try a burger that's unique to the South!

    The service was great and the burger was good. In a greasy home fried burger kind of way. Highly recommend for a good laid back lunch.

    Burgers are good. Fries are okay. Ambiance could use some work even though it's dated for a reason.

    Probably the grossest burger I have ever tasted. I am positive this isn't beef. Scary to think what it is.

    On our way to The Magic Mike we were thinking about what to eat for lunch. I happen d upon a place…read moreclose to Athens in Elkmont called Mike's Cafe. From where we were at the Tennessee state line, it was about a 50 minute ride on small country roads. We arrived at Mike's Cafe after most of the lunch crowd was gone. We ordered the smoked chicken with fried potatoes, pinto beans and okra, a double cheeseburger deconstructed, small onion rings and a BLT to go. They didn't have turnip greens or collards so I ended up with fried potatoes. Fried cornbread was included. Inside the restaurant the ceiling in the small dining area was similar to galvanized siding. It was shiny new. I didn't ask if the dining area was a new addition. The shiny caught my attention. I believe there were 12 booths for seating. We were the only customers inside sitting while Mike, the owner, was back in the kitchen preparing our foods. We introduced ourselves and told Mike we drove over there because we heard so many great things about his food and that his restaurant was clean. It was clean too! Mike brought our foods out and we headed to the car. As we were about to leave, Mike came out with a sample of his hamburger soup on the house. What a lovely gesture. We thanked him and his wife and headed home to devour our haul. The smoked chicken was delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the fried okra, pintos and fried potatoes. The BLT was made with a lot of thick cut bacon. Yummy! The double cheeseburger we shared later was delicious and cooked perfectly. If you like old style good home cooking, please stop by Mike's Cafe. His food is fire!

    Great southern food! Everything has such a wonderful taste, not greasy, portions are perfect. I…read moreLOVE everything they serve, I have not had one thing that was not delicious, even a plain hot dog. Don't miss out!!

It's really nice to sit outside as well for big parties. They have an area where you can go upstairs and eat if you want.

    Really more like a 3.5, FWIW…read more Took a lil roadtrip out to Athens with my folks on a day off last week. We wanted to try this place. Since it is in the main part of downtown, super close parking is a bit of a big ask; we parked at a public government building about two blocks down and walked over. The inside is very small and only has a couple of two-seater tables and one bench setup, but there are multiple nice metal tables outside to sit at if the weather is good. Fortunately, we lucked out in that regard, as it was a nice day. The inside of the restaurant smelled absolutely amazing, so I was excited to order. Their lunch menu mostly consists of sandwiches and burgers, with limited sides like chips, broccoli salad, soup of the day, and so on. Bottled drinks and a couple of desserts round it all out. My parents split a Philly cheese steak sandwich with pasta salad; I got a chicken cheese steak with a cup of the soup of the day (potato), and we shared a slice of strawberry pretzel salad for dessert! The employees were nice enough to bring our food out to us while we were at a metal table on the patio, so that was sweet. Food came out relatively quickly and was definitely fresh. Overall, it was fine! My favorite thing was probably the strawberry pretzel salad; I wish I'd had a little more but I should've ordered my own portion! lol. The potato soup had really nice garlicky croutons on top that I enjoyed, though I wish there'd been bigger chunks of potato in it. I liked my chicken Philly just fine though I feel like it was missing some sort of flavor somewhere. My parents felt the same about their regular Philly. Unlike me, though, my mom unfortunately got several gristley bits she had to spit out. The chicken didn't have that same problem. Overall, a pleasant enough experience though I wouldn't say our socks were knocked off, haha. I'd return and try other menu options if I come back in the future.
