What a great spot! It's small and in the heart of the town center in Jefferson. Our waiter was very attentive despite us sitting outside so don't worry about being forgotten. The pimento wontons are so good, they came out crispy, had a wonderful cheese filling and the sweet chili sauce is amazing. The Fourth of July burger is a top choice as our waiter said, and I can attest. It's a little on the smaller side so don't expect to share it, but still a good choice! read more

The menu is wide and varied. The restaurant is laid back local spot . The service was adequate as our server was young and inexperienced. When asked about thousand islands dressing , she said they don't have it but they have balsamic which is basically the same thing. I did not use the teaching moment out of expediency and kindness to my Gen Z waitress. Ignorance is fixable, but will have to be adjusted by someone else. Pricing is on par with other places , the portion size and the food was cooked as ordered. read more

Shawn is hands down the best server ever!!! And he didn't pay me to say this All jokes aside. Best place to eat in town!!! Best service, great food!! read more

Friends Jefferson Grill - Burgers Near Me - Jefferson, Georgia

This is our regular spot in Jefferson. The management is always on top of things, making sure every guest is having a good experience. The bartenders know their regulars by name. Sean is our absolute favorite and he always remembers our conversations and details about our lives. It's so much more than just a little mom and pop place. The food is incredible, the drinks are good, and the service is what keeps us coming back. read more

Visited on a rainy Friday evening around 6:30. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated and served quickly. Our server recommended the cluck and cow or the July 4th burger. We got both and our food arrived quickly. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend! read more

The food was awesome as always! Riley was the best!! The GM is always very friendly to everyone! My 11 year old grandson went on to tell them that the wings were the best...that the flavor was great and they were very juicy! Lol and he has wings or steak everywhere he goes! read more

Usually the service is excellent. Not this time. We had to wavy down our server. My food was too greasy to eat.

Great food all the time! Go there very often for lunch and dinner! Recommend for everyone in an around Jefferson! Their onion rings are to die for!! read more

Been there 4 times. Twice the service was good and friendly. The other 2 times the service was poor and food was so-so at best. The afternoon shift was by far the best. If busy = poor then I'm out. Live in the area and would like to patronize them but I'll keep eating Mexican or Chinese in the area and drive to Athens or Winder if I want family style / bar food. read more

Great food and service tonight. Raylan was are server and was fantastic. It's great to see a high schooler take a job seriously.

We typically always order Friends from Door Dash but since we were out we decided to dine in. It was a Saturday and a Georgia game Saturday. Unfortunately, they didn't have the channel the game was on this Saturday. :( Service was very nice and quick and the food was very good - but almost a little salty. My husband had the Buffalo chicken wrap and really enjoyed it. I had the Knickerbocker Tavern sandwich with tots and it was very good and full of flavor! Be careful though - this can get super salty with the meats and cheeses. The decor is funky and fun and our table had characters from the movie Cars (which the kids loved) They do have a full bar and TONS of TV's. This location is right off the main road in the square of downtown Jefferson. You will need to park in the parking lot of Diesel Donuts or in the back of the building. read more

Friendly, excellent service every time I go there. They've got the best burgers in town.

Grabbed lunch here a few weeks ago with some colleagues. The food was okay - not terrible but not outstanding either. It's bar food. It's a good little spot in downtown Jefferson with a full bar. Probably a fun place to watch a ballgame on a Saturday. read more

Hate to say it, but it seems prices have went up n portion size of certain menu items has fallen. Service is still good but that can't make up for the $ n portion size. Did not feel like a good value for the $ last time. read more

Had a great meal here at friendsS Really it's all about the friendly staff. I'm gonna make sure to come back and ask for Abby specifically because she's such a warm, funny, funny waitress. And food came out correct she was very attentive love their onion rings, always order them and their wings and they're rainbow sherbet right now it's excellent!! read more

I know since Covid the restaurant scene has changed but I want to throw out a positive on this review. The staff is young but they do a great job and to this place that's a thumbs up. The wings are good and the Philly is as well. Usually crowded so arrive early. Parking is tight. The ambiance is bar food and can be noisy. Overall good place to eat, good staff, good food. read more

The Philly was DAMN GOOD. The bartender was the cutest and the place was clean and friendly all the way around.

Stopped in for lunch, Very friendly service and great food. Lot of great choices on the menu at reasonable prices. Thanks Tim read more

I was not greeted when I walked in nor was I spoken to after sitting ten minutes in the bar. One star only because I know the good is good even though the service was terrible. read more

the bartender was so amazing from our visit last night. She went head over heels for our service. can't imagine this restaurant running without her. think her name was Tori, but anyways she has to be the backbone to this restaurant read more

First impression -- this is a win for Jefferson. The vibe in here is electric, helped by the urban graffiti-covered wallls and open overhead ventilation system. The exposed metal rafter-on-wood ceiling curves up to match the pitch of the outer roof, adding to a unique aura which was missing from this building's previous tenant. It is obvious that Friends management are doing things differently from typical restaurant chains. They distribute their own brand of ketchup. The label says they do this so they can be more in control of the ingredients of food, and this makes good sense. I ordered the chopped steak. This meal, complete with with Texas toast and two sides, is a good value for $11.99. I am told that all steak comes out cooked medium well, unless the customer specifies differently. Mine came out cooked exactly medium well, but next time I will order it cooked medium. Other than that, it was pretty tasty. I look forward to my next visit to Friends! read more

Service was very very very sub par. Just slow - super super slow. Food was ok. Def not coming back read more

Busy and bustling as expected for a sports bar, service was great, our bison burgers were chef's kiss, and we topped it all off with fried cheesecake! Yum! Great artwork and a somewhat industrial ambiance made for a laidback feel. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Jefferson. My go to is the chicken wrap and tater tots. The atmosphere is great and it's a true small town feel. Definitely recommend the wraps and burgers. read more

Fun atmosphere. Service is always good. Food is a little inconsistent but usually can find something that satisfies my bar food craving. Sad they got rid of the giant pretzel. read more

Dang! So hoped Jefferson would have a fun place to eat with reasonable prices and service. It ain't here! Service was atrocious! First waitress handed us off to the next one and the only time we saw her or anyone else is when I had to get up and grab someone's attention. Hey, this place could work as a fast food place where you go up to the counter to orde...but having waitresses is a joke. Wife's food was super, super salty. They replaced it with something just as salty and again, no one came to ask if it was ok. We won't be back. read more

The food here never disappoints and the service is always great! Have had both lunch and dinner here & both were delicious!

This was a great stop on our road trip! Yummy comfort bar food! We liked everything we had!

The waitresses are awesome! The food is always amazing! The restaurant is always full when we go so that tells you something right there. Very clean bathrooms and dining area as well! I just love this place read more

Friends Jefferson Grill is fabulous and spectacular! The food was so excellent! I had a delicious Vegan Burger, a really fresh side salad and a side of wonderful Tzatziki Sauce to try!! The employees are standout and the best, so customer-focused, hardworking, knowledgeable and patient! I want to acknowledge two great employees: Vanessa and Marshall!! Wonderful. The restaurant has a cool, trendy vibe and has wonderful artwork which exudes a lovely, youthful vibe! There are many locations! Would love to visit each one!! read more

Food is ok. Nothing you can't make at home easily other than the wings. Love the wings! Atmosphere is good but usually crowded inside.

2nd time here and it was pretty good again. Service is what is really driving this place. Very friendly and prompt. Food is good, but not amazing. Love the vibe and decor. Guess I'll keep coming back and become a regular, I'm not mad about that. read more

The bada bang shrimp tacos are great & so are the sweet potato fries. The baby wedgie was great and larger than the name suggests. Service can be hit or miss. read more

Great food, affordable prices, friendly staff, laid back atmosphere. We have gone there often and have never had a bad meal.

This popular chain has fed my family many times over the past couple of years. I can say that the food is great for bar food for sure, but feel as if it's overpriced as it is just fancy bar food. Getting it delivered isn't very good as the food needs to be fresh to the table for it to hold up, especially the fried appetizers. I'll keep coming here though! read more

We've eaten here numerous times, and it has been consistently good. I just wish they still had the chicken BLT with pimento cheese . But the Wontons are great, and so are the trash talk nachos!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time. I got the Cajun Chicken Pasta. The sauce and chicken was fine but the noodles (main part of the meal) were half way cooked, some pieces were so hard my fork couldn't even go into them. My fiancé got the Philly cheesesteak and pasta salad, he wasn't too impressed with either. The no-cash fee was the cherry on top! read more

Awesome place all the bartenders Dana Jessica amber christy are awesome. Super friendly and super attentive love it there. We just started going glad we found it read more
