I didn't expect it to be half full when I went in with only one car outside, it must be a local favorite. The menu has not only classics but some interesting twists too. We were told to grab a menu and sit anywhere we wanted. Then once you know your order you place it at the counter & pay. I got the breakfast Panini with avocado added. My husband got a half chicken salad salad and a glorified grilled cheese. We also got a pretzel salad to try. Portion sizes were great, the food was delicious and inventive. I loved the ginger citrus dressing that was for the salad, I even asked them where it was from. We were told they make it in house. The pork in the grilled cheese tasted so fresh & flavorful. They also gave us water cups & their water is good ( must be filtered) We will definitely be back. Also a plus, they are open earlier then a lot of other eating establishments.

This review is for the new Five Points location…read more Mom and I finally made it to Good Company Café in Five Points for breakfast today, and we had a wonderful experience. The girl who took our order was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick from the moment we walked in. I ordered Dad's Egg Sandwich, and Mom got the Vegetable Frittata. The bacon on my sandwich was the standout--nice, thick, and perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that the menu mentioned garlic, but I honestly couldn't taste any. If you're going to promise garlic, I want to taste garlic! Mom really enjoyed her frittata, although I think she's getting a little tired of egg dishes lately. She especially loved the toast and whatever butter they served with it. It almost tasted like maple butter, and it was delicious. The fresh fruit was also excellent (I happily finished Mom's!). My only real complaint is the size of the restaurant. It's a cozy space, but I can see it getting crowded very quickly during the breakfast rush. Overall, everything was wonderful. Friendly staff, fast service, and a delicious breakfast. We'll definitely be back!

I had some hours to kill between shifts and wanted a quiet place to do some schoolwork, so I made the choice to drive on over and settle in. This spot has a small gravel parking lot and also a drive through. The inside is cozy but more spacious than I expected -- it was nice! There are lots of small local vendors featured for sale on the shelves and countertops, which gave it a nice community-minded vibe. I was also pleasantly surprised by the relative depth of their menu -- good choices for breakfast or lunch! I was worried a latte would upset my tummy when I got back to work (lactose intolerant gang unite), so I instead chose to order a "Lavish Lemonade," which came with my choice of a few different fruity flavors. I opted for raspberry. I also got a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel for a small meal. Both the girl taking orders and the girl who brought my food out were super pleasant. Everything came out quickly despite the fact that there had been multiple guests in line! The other folks around seemed to know the staff and menu well; I love a place with regulars! Helps me know they're doing something right. :) My bagel sandwich was simple but nice and hot and quite satisfying. The lemonade was SO good -- good enough it'll be hard to order a coffee next time I come back! Unfortunately for me, I took my laptop out only to realize it was on 3%. D'OH. So I had to chow down on my food and then rush home to grab a charger so I could actually work. Oh well. Very much my fault, not theirs, and I'm still very happy to have discovered this place! Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

The other with chicken pepper jelly and goat cheese. Both great. We also tried the Frenchie with strawberries and blueberries. It was very good as well. The coffee is good ass well. Overall the food was marvelous. The restaurant is cute with a diner vibe to it. It there is one thing I didn't like it is that this needs to be a full service restaurant. It is counter service and with so much on the menu, it is hard to make quick choices. That is a small price to pay for such great food. Definitely recommend!

This restaurant is located…read moreinside the Botanical Gardens but you don't need to pay to eat here, it's located next to the gift shop. Sometimes the food venue in a place like this can be terrible and over priced -- this isn't the case with Fern & Feast Bistro. The food selection here is pretty decent, sandwiches, tacos, salads, burgers, flatbreads etc, most in the $9-12 range. They have some kid options (chicken nuggets, grilled chese, quesadilla, etc) for picky eaters at $6 each. Downside is that the sandwiches etc don't come with fries or chips, so that could increase your meal price. I ordered the Uber sandwich because I feel like that is a good gauge of how the food will be and is pretty standard at most restos. Mine was served relatively quick on an environmentally friendly plate made if recycle paper products (I don't care all that much but I know some people will appreciate that touch). Club was delicious, but make sure to grab mustard and mayo. Bread was toasted just the right amount; it had some char but was not too dry or crunchy. Lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the proportions and amounts of the turkey, ham and beacon was great. But the best reason to come to this place is the scenery. From the back of the narrow seating area you can grab a seat that looks out over the Botanical Gardens or of you keep going back they have outdoor seating available. The weather was wonderful today and so I ate my sandwich on the patio taking in nature and avoiding the man with three children who all needed discipline in their life inside. If you're looking for a place to stop and relax with decent food while the weather is good - this is your place. Give it a shot!

It's easy walking distance from the square and I enjoyed wandering a bit on my way over. Parking is street parking but I didn't find it too challenging, at least on a week day. The inside is showing its age but was clean enough. The restaurant is a little narrow and cramped though. One of the waitresses spoke to me loudly from where she was seated at a table near the back of the restaurant and told me to sit where I liked. She brought me a menu shortly after. The menu is somewhat limited, with basic breakfasts and lunches, to include omelets, biscuits, hamburgers, club sandwiches, etc. I like a simple menu done well. It was a little early for lunch, so I wound up ordering two scrambled eggs, which comes with biscuits and gravy or toast with grits. Any other side is basically a la carte, which isn't necessarily my preference but ultimately the pricing comes out to about the same as if you'd had a more extensive meal combination, so I suppose it works out nicely for those who want smaller, simpler breakfasts. I don't care for biscuits and gravy so I ordered toast and grits, then added on bacon and an order of hash browns. Sweet tea to drink. My meal was ~$15 when all was said and done, which I think is acceptable. The inside of the diner is kind of echo-y. Three other patrons were inside, all seated at different tables but all conversing with each other rather loudly (and seemingly not eating anything??) the entire time I was there. This isn't WSD's fault and I don't hold it against them, just want to make others aware of the atmosphere in case they're looking for an extra quiet location to eat. Service was adequate; not super friendly and more reactive than proactive (eg, no one ever came to check if I liked my food okay or if I needed a refill; pretty much the only time I got any attention once my food was dropped off was when I stood up to walk to the register). But they weren't rude or anything and my food came out in a timely manner. I didn't need anything special so it worked out. My food was okay. The toast was cooked well but wound up a little soggy somehow. I don't like grits much but I gave these a try; they weren't bad as far as grits go. The bacon was cooked fairly well. The hash browns were my favorite part and were actually quite crispy, which is how I like them. The eggs were the weak point and were fairly unevenly cooked, with some bits being thin and crispy and others so runny even I was a little skeptical (and I like my scrambled eggs on the softer side). The sweet tea was also a little watery. I'd give the food a 3.5/5 overall. Decent place for a local diner meal.

Arrived at 1:15 (door and Google said they closed at 2). Disappointed that this "diner" didn't have soup on their limited menu, but after a quick glance at the menu ordered a simple cheeseburger and fried bologna & cheese sandwich. My GF asked if they could do grilled onions on her burger, and got an grunted "we could do that". The server then asked whether we'd like chips or hash browns with our sandwiches and we opted for chips. I added an iced tea. The food was dropped off (still not a smile or welcoming word spoken). The smallish burger was slightly larger than a McDonald's single burger and the bologna sandwich featured a single 1/8" slice of bologna and a single slice of Kraft American cheese. The burger was reportedly fine and my sandwich was something my 4 year old granddaughter could've prepared. It was explained that the chips were additional (we didn't ask for them, they were casually offered). Never implied that they were an add-on. The unhappy server spent the entire time which we were there (20 minutes total) with her jackets on and bag on the table, staring at us to finish this subpar, overpriced, lunch. I am not one to slam a small business (see my 200+ reviews). My recommendation would be to chose ANYWHERE ELSE to support in Athens. The attitude was poor, the food below average in quality and low on the value scale. Really a bad experience overall. These ungrateful folks don't deserve your time or money.

For…read moreyears, since they opened I would frequent here and the Meridianville location to the point where anytime someone comes for a visit they always beg for a Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit from Biscuit Express. I used to always get the bologna egg and cheese biscuit and the bologna was always thick and perfection. The breakfast platters? Amazing. But lately... things have taken a turn and I have tried, like really really tried like at least 10 visits giving them the benefit of the doubt and today I actually drove away. 27 mins from the time I got in line to the order box. With 6 cars in from of me. Total. Not 6 cars in front of me before the order box, but 6 cars total from the window to me. 27 minutes to get up to the speaker box and another 2 mins before they asked what i wanted for my order. This isn't a we were having a busy busy morning issue either. This is repetitive. This is the new normal. At least 30 mins to get your order taken and a good 5-10 mins to get your food. Average drive thru take 4-6 mins from start to finish. Even on the longer side maybe 10 mins, but 27 mins just seems to get up to the speaker box to order? Come on. Then they changed the eggs.. I know .. how dare they streamline their business. I'm all for that, but they started baking their eggs in like a sheet pan. So you get a "slice" of egg on your biscuit, which is completely different than the old eggs, which were liquid eggs and that was completely fine and delicious, but these new eggs, definitely baked, definitely "trying" and definitely lacking. So now my favorite thing has went from a bologna egg and cheese biscuit to maybe I'll just get a bologna biscuit. I've even been just to get a side of bologna because I do love their bologna. I've been just to get a soft drink, one of their new loaded drinks or coffees, I've been at lunch and ordered the bacon express burger no tomato, and got charged for extra tomatoes and then had no tomato Ive tried and I keep trying but the wait times are horrible, the new eggs... eh, the biscuits are great as always but just everything else is lacking. Like I've been through the line before when I was probably 20 cars in front of me with the line standing still in Moore's mill and from the time I got in line to get my food used to be maybe 15 mins TOPS. I really wish things would improve because I do want the new owners to succeed, it's just, this is "fast food" and it's lacking in many areas.
