The daily taco special was very good, according to friends, but I prefer foods without the hot spices, so I ordered a different sandwich. I especially like their French dip sandwich -it comes with two servings on buttered-grilled bread. The broth is bland, but the sandwich is very tasty with or without dipping . Their potato salad is the perfect side. Service 5/5 Romain was an excellent server -very helpful and pleasant Facility 3/5 Not new but well maintained -pub style casual with cloth napkins Location 5/5 Convenient location just off major road Epps bridge/316 At the corner end of a small strip mall next to a framing/art shop. Lots of parking.

Overall good price and food. With plenty of seating and food to match if you want breakfast or lunch.

The rice, greens, corn, and other mix-ins made it super filling and fresh. The warm pita on the side was a nice bonus too. The only downside--and why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5--is that I found an avocado produce sticker still stuck to a piece in my bowl. Definitely not something you want to find mid-bite. Mistakes happen, but it's something they should catch during prep. Other than that, great experience and I'd definitely come back!

During the last year of the five-and-a-half decades my mother lived in Athens, she survived a…read moreserious medical crisis and endured the sale of her longtime home and preparations for a move to my brother's city. A chaotic period, and when my brother and/or I were in town to help out with these exhausting and time-consuming tasks, finding quick, reasonably priced, somewhat healthy, and hopefully tasty food was challenging indeed. I unfortunately didn't discover Maepole until 2025, but it nicely ticked off those boxes. Maepole is basically a "fast casual," Southern-inflected "bowl" place, with a much heavier emphasis on the nutritious and fresh than is typical of traditional Southern cooking. You start with a base, just like at Chipotle or Cava--greens, sweet potatoes, or quinoa, etc.--and top with veggies or salads, and, if you prefer a protein, you can add chicken, pork, or tofu. Or you can just go full-on veggie plate. Top with a flavorful sauce; my favorites were the spicy avocado and lemon herb. My general impression of the food quality was that it wasn't quite at the five-star level some of the time--veggies weren't always cooked to perfection, for instance--but the general experience and value, as well as the bold flavors, argue for bumping this rating up to five stars. Plus, every time I think about Maepole, I sure wish my current city had an option like it.

I was a little concerned about dining out in Athens…read moreduring a busy Saturday afternoon but fortunately the N Chase location is perfectly tucked away, distant enough from the downtown area. I was 3rd in line and pleasantly surprised + pleased. Think Chipotle meets Chopt (the salad bar ). Fresh ingredients. LOTS of mix and match options OR preset menu items. And just as many drink options, including locally made kombucha. I ordered the winter salad and low country plates. With the exception of the turmeric ginger dressing (a little too zesty for me) and the hoppin John salad (hoppin John OR salad ... not both ) EVERYTHING was delicious. I enjoyed the salad way more than I thought I would. The spicy avocado dressing is YUMMY! The greens were cooked to perfection - another shocker. The edamame crunch, tofu and crunchies were just as delicious. I will visit the Atlanta location just to try the fritters! A wonderfully healthy and scrumptious delight !
