The grit bowls are amazing too and very filling, worth the price! Staff are super friendly and have good recommendations. I love the different themed rooms in jail cells. It's so cool to sit in history. The book room has poor service, but it's all the way in the back and is an old jail cell so it makes sense.

I decided to try the salmon eggs benedict, and it was nothing short of outstanding--a beautiful fusion of flavors with perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, and fresh, high-quality salmon. Every bite was satisfying and thoughtfully prepared. The rustic potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right, making them the perfect complement to the dish. I also ordered mimosas made with fresh-squeezed orange juice, which added a refreshing and vibrant touch to the entire experience. What impressed me most was the attention to detail, from the presentation of the food to the overall quality of the ingredients. You can really tell they care about what they serve. I drove 40 minutes just to try this place, and it was absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier brunch experience!

We came for a birthday with our girlfriends. Our food was delicious but even though they weren't busy, they rushed us so much! We were celebrating a birthday and at the 15 birthdays we've celebrated at this restaurant before this, they always brought a birthday crepe and this time they didn't. Then they cleared EVERYTHING from our table the second we paid. Water glasses everything. The birthday girl looked at the man clearing our table and said "well, I guess that's our que." There's no way they needed our table, there were plenty open. It was just disappointing when you have certain expectations regarding service when this specific restaurant created the expectation!

Coffee was strong and hot, service friendly, and the cozy spot in the historic building hit the spot. Generous portions, fresh flavors. If you're near Atlanta, go! We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

"Little pitchers have big ears," the old-timers used to say, bewildering the whippersnappers…read more Wait, we're talking "little pitchers" as in Ron Guidry, Tom Gordon, Tim Lincecum, Marcus Stroman, and so on? Nah, these "little pitchers" are paloma-like Jalicesense cocktails served in little clay cups called "cantaritos." Regrettably, I've never tried one. Anyway, in a town that (IMO) has been going downhill for a while when it comes to dining, the modest pan-Latin Cantaritos Cafe is one of the better restaurants to open in Athens post-COVID. In my experience, they've done a great job with everything: breakfast burrito, a Venezuelan (I think?) breakfast sandwich of some sort, massive heavy (a little too heavy, maybe) arepas, all terrific. The menu is huge. Prices have been reasonable, but it's been a few months since I was there. P.S. The review preceding mine by two chronologically is a disgrace: "I love this place," but one star because a single employee on a single occasion didn't adequately kiss her pinkie ring? There are potentially myriad valid reasons why that employee was unable to serve that entitled Yelper.

Went in and lady just looks at me. I said, "I just want to get coffee." She said, "dont open until 7:30." I said well, you just lost business and shouldn't have your open sign (on the side of the building to draw in traffic) on or door unlocked. I don't understand business' mentality anymore. If I owned a business that served coffee in the mornings and someone came in 15-20 min before we opened because I had my sign on and door unlocked, I would say, "it may take a few extra minutes because we aren't open yet, but what can I get you?" Thats how you keep happy customers. Instead, you turned me away losing that sale, gaining this review, AND I will reconsider next time I decide I may want to eat your food, and just go somewhere else, also this review could affect others coming there, so affecting future sales. If the lights weren't all on, open sign wasn't on, I wouldn't have come in to have this experience. Business', YOU MUST DO BETTER!!! News flash! There are tons of you for us to choose from. We don't have to eat or drink at your restaurant.

**STOP AND EAT HERE!! **…read more I NEVER leave reviews, but this place was so good that I had to take the time to write one. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredible. I got to speak with Chef Roger, and you can immediately tell that he genuinely cares about the food he makes. The way he talked about selecting the flavors and preparing the mushrooms really showed how much pride he takes in his cooking. The maître d' at the door was also named Roger, and he was just as friendly and welcoming. I had my 18-month-old daughter with me, and the entire staff treated us so well. Everyone was professional, kind, and genuinely welcoming. At one point, I walked outside with my daughter while our food was being prepared, and she grabbed the maître d' Roger's hand and just started walking around with him. That honestly says a lot about how comfortable and welcomed we felt there. **Now, the STEAK... WOW.** This was probably the best steak I have ever had. The wood-smoked grill flavor and the crust were absolutely perfect. I had the Baseball Wagyu steak, and it was SO tender. It was almost like eating a more flavorful filet. Absolutely incredible. The mushrooms were fantastic, and the mashed potatoes actually tasted freshly made -- not like that watery, sad stuff that sometimes gets served as mashed potatoes. We didn't get the bourbon mushrooms because we don't drink, but Chef Roger explained that the alcohol is actually cooked off during preparation. You could tell he really knew his food and was happy to explain everything. Honestly, if you're going to eat in **Helen, GA**, I would put this place at the top of your list. Helen itself was okay, but a lot of what we saw was more typical bar food. **This place was on another level.** The food, service, atmosphere, and hospitality were all top-tier. **Worth every single dollar.** And I want to give an extra shout-out because I had my little daughter with me, and they treated her like family. Nobody was stuck-up or pretentious. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. **Shout-out to Chef Roger, Maître d' Roger, and the guy with no hair and the blue jacket! ** Thank you guys for such an awesome experience. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back! **If you're anywhere near Helen, GA -- STOP AND EAT HERE! You won't regret it. **

Hubby and I were driving through and decided to stop in for dinner. Without reservations we were…read moreseated quickly. All the staff were so friendly, especially Bri our server, she was great! We sat down to a "Cajun night" menu to which I inquired if that's like a weekly thing or what and was explained that they will occasionally do various themes and recently had done Italian. They had Cajun music playing and a full Cajun menu, it felt like we were in Louisiana which I am very familiar with, I have roots there. I think having themed nights is a very clever way to bring a variety of fine dining options to a small town that doesn't have a lot of restaurant options. Fully support! Love the concept! Having had frog legs before I didn't feel the need to explore again so didn't choose those. I instead opted for some more cozy comforts such as the Crawfish étouffée and Duck Andouille Gumbo. Both were delicious, my only gripe would be the presentation was quite lacking. Traditionally, for either of those dishes, the rice is served from a cup as a topper, not the gumbo or étouffée spooned atop the rice. But the flavor hit it out of the park. Hubby ordered the Blackened Redfish and this is where the chef's talents shine. This was the winning dish of the evening. Hubby hates okra, I love it, and I'd never had it grilled before though and I'll be using that cooking technique in the future, especially since hubby actually likes okra finally. But I don't want to focus on okra for a fish dish. The blackened redfish was so well seasoned and perfectly flaky, the pinto beans had great flavor as well. We finished our meal out with the beignets and coffees (hubby espresso and me a latte) which paired perfectly with the beignets. We ate them politely with the fork and knife provided though if you ain't covered in powdered sugar or accidentally proofing powdered sugar across the table when you take a bite are you even doing it right? ;) but they were delicious, everything was. Again the only suggestion I have is to consider presentation. The dishes looked a bit bland for the amount of flavor they packed. A slice of that grilled okra on top of my Gumbo or just anything simple would've gone a long way. Overall I'll give 5 stars. I have no complaints. The restaurant's vibe and decor are great, service was great, food was delicious. We had a great night!

A friend made dinner reservations for a large party of over 20 guests. I had zero idea this place…read morewas here, the last time I was in the area I believe it was prior the French quarter. Anywho I was excited because colombian food is the best. Arriving it was already a hot Sunday afternoon, our seating was in the entry outdoor/sort of indoor area. This area has no air conditioning only two large fans on the right. There were only two waitresses for our entire party, which wouldn't usually be an issue but these two ladies did things way out of order. They started taking some drink orders and some appetizers but casually skipped over others. Most of us got our alcoholic drinks right away but we didn't get cups of water until well over an hour into our time there. A few of us did order the Arepa con queso for appetizers and those were delicious. I ordered the Arooz con pollo with Tostones and it was very salty and lacking in other seasoning for sure. The tostones were good but those are the simplest thing to make. Also my arroz con pollo had hotdogs in it, I've never had that before and those really could have been left out. For a drink I got the Colombiana Spritz and it was juice, not a drop of alcohol was in that drink and the amount of sugar in that drink plus the heat plus the lack of water, it wasn't fun. A couple in the party bother both ordered the banded paisa one regular sized and the other mini, both came out the same exact size but they have a price difference and they both had random things missing from each plate. Half of the party received their food before others even placed theirs. My friend ordered the Chorizo for her husband, which was $8 and you can see in the picture how insanely tiny that Chorizo was. She also ordered the Chicharron which was also $8 and had exactly 8 bits to it, she essentially paid $1 per tiny Chicharron, which is way too much. We already knew the checks were going to be a mess and they sure were. I didn't hate this place but the experience was not good at all. I would only come back maybe for an arepa or if I was invited. The experience could have been bad because of it being a large party but I can't say you'll have a better time.
