I asked for a glass for water while waiting (48 minutes) which I didn't complain, it was a rush. I added a squirt of lemonade for sugar and he yelled "I won't charge you for the drink you stole"! He screamed it in front of all the people waiting and had no idea of the facts. I even told him I mixed it and didn't steal, but he can still charge me if he would like and he did not apologize.Poor kids who work there! They did not stop working for a minute and were so pleasant. their boss just showed up to yell at me and disappeared again.

That's right, no baguette, just rice with a tofu option as well. Really good sauce and pickled flavor. Wish there were more veggies included as it a great taste, just wish more diversity in the toppings. Very casual dining room with tables for 2, 4, and a couple for bigger groups in the back. A counter in the front window gives you a great people watching perch on a key block of Court Street, the main drag in college town Athens.

Jackie O's Public House is great for a casual beer in exposed brick dark high tops kinda hang…read more Jackie O's beer is a stout pillar of the Athens brewing scene. But I write today to praise the Public House for its private party hosting. We just celebrated a big birthday for my wife with 40+ friends. Jackie O's uptown is central, everyone knows it, and it has history for so many of us. In my case going back to the 80s when it was still O'Hooley's and I'd meet my Dad there Friday afternoons after school when he and his colleagues would kick off the end of the work week. It still plays that role for many in this college town. But back to the private party. Chelsea was a pleasure to work with, entertaining all my questions about combinations from the catering menu, deciding on open bar with cocktails, without, just beer and wine, ticket system etc. All are options depending on your crowd and your budget. We went full open bar and mercifully our friends took it easy on us in the 6-8pm timeslot we reserved the whole place for. We went with a combo of meats, cheeses, fruit, veggies that you can get at a per person rate minimum 20. We then also go some of each of the five pizza options. We had leftovers but not a bad thing. For dessert, we had the option to bring in our own cake, but instead tried their chocolate and snickerdoodle parfaits that went down very well. It isn't something you do every month or every year. But it really worked for us for a big birthday and we've attended a number of great work networking receptions there as well. And finally, as many know, Art Oestrike the owner of Jackie O's is a leader in investing in community and sustainability, delivering a creative and quality product and experience whether that is in the three Athens locations or Jackie O's on Fourth in Columbus. A business and team worth supporting.

One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

Rated as diner food and experience…read more It appears they offer their entire menu all day from what I heard. Menu is not overly large, which I appreciate. Little pricey appetizers, 10 dollars for an order of cheese sticks seems steep, but the rest of the menu is overall ok pricing. I felt like a turkey club. Husband got an egg breakfast and daughter order tenders off the kids menu. Their sandwich was good price and good size - built beautifully and tasted as it should. I only ate 1/2 because it was just very big. My husband said the tenders were good, he ordered a second order to go for himself and our doggo. Place is definitely a dated diner, but everyone was very nice and service was on point.
