    Top: Fried shrimp backseat with fries and mac and cheese  Bottom: fried oyster basket with coleslaw and fries
    Claire H.

    After passing by this place numerous times, I finally tried this place. Just know that parking is limited, and they allow you to park at the fire station across the street. We were able to get a table with like a 10 min wait, and after looking at the menu, we ordered the following: a moscow mule (it's made with rum not vodka apparently), fried shrimp basket with fries and mac and cheese, and fried oyster basket with fries and coleslaw. Food took a decent amount of time, the vibes were just perfect, and food was very fresh! I highly recommend coming with friends, family, really anyone.

    Glad to have a good seafood restaurant with an outdoor seating area. Food : very good seafood and multiple tasty sides. No reservations. Limited parking by the restaurant-more parking across a very busy road. Service: servers are pleasant and efficient Location -very handy location for Athens, on a corner at the busy 5-Points intersection. Facility : Good reuse situation - a renovated and remodeled old house makes a convenient restaurant. Usually crowded and noisy. The porch with fans is a less crowded, but there is quite a bit of road noise.

    Loved the food! It was so fresh and so delicious! Will be coming back! The sangrita drink was amazing also!!!

    Blackened shrimp, sweet potatoes, broccoli

    AMAZING!! Some of the best blackened shrimp I've ever had. Sweet potatoes and broccoli were also a 1000/10. Tip- ask for a side of feta to eat with the sweet potatoes and broccoli, makes it even better. The hush puppies were also delicious and were perfectly crispy but doughy. This food not only tasted great, but made me feel great considering the healthy options. Must go in Athens!

    Wish I could give half stars here on Yelp :( because this place is a little more than 3 stars but not quite 4 stars in my opinion! So here's my star rating -- 3.5/5 Food was decent! I've been here a handful of times and the food is nice but not an Athens staple in my opinion. This was my first time trying the po boy and it was pretty decent! I got it with oysters which I don't regret! I wish it had less of the lettuce and everything but that's just a personal preference. The amount of oysters was perfect for the sandwich size though. Now, the calamari wasn't my favorite. It was too salty for my liking and I didn't like how it was paired with marinara sauce :( I prefer the grouper nuggets over that.

    Another classic Athens favorite. This spot is always packed, so make sure your entire party is there when you arrive & expect a bit of a wait during busy hours, but it is definitely worth it. They have a good selection without the menu being overwhelming. I have gotten various menu items & appetizers during my 4 years here & have never been disappointed. Indoor, bar, & covered outdoor seating available with a casual atmosphere perfect for a lunch or dinner with friends. If you ever find yourself in Athens, Marked 7 is a great place to try! M7 Fish Sandwich w/ fries: 9/10 Love, love, love this sandwich! I opted to get it blackened and it was flavorful & perfectly cooked. The fries were seasoned to perfection! Definitely recommend!!!

    Grouper and Shrimp platter.

    The grouper and shrimp platter was delicious. The hush puppies and fries added to the platter. Our server Emily was awesome, and the atmosphere was great.

    The seafood here is the best. Parking is difficult . Once inside we were served quickly. The service was great, like I said, the fish tacos were great . I'd definitely get them again.

    Grouper nuggets

    I love Marker 7! Their grouper nuggets are always to die for! I can never complain about them! I also love their shrimp. You can never go wrong with anything off their menu. Service is usually a bit slow because it's always crowded but the food is worth it.

    We stopped shortly after my son's graduation from UGA (12/15/23). We have eaten here a handful of times and never been disappointed. Parking is a bit challenging, but the cozy environment, food, and welcoming staff make up for it. Appetizer: fried green tomatoes and grouper nuggets. I highly recommend both. We always get the tomatoes but this was the first time having the nuggets. I am not a fan of tartar sauce and I loved the house made tartar sauce. I even asked for more. Appetizers were YUM. 5/5 Main: Buffalo shrimp basket (2), salmon BLT (2) and a shrimp basket. We all had fries/slaw. None of us were impressed by the slaw. There was no flavor and it was just blah. However, there were no other complaints. It was delicious. The BLT's were made with fresh bacon and salmon. The shrimp was also fresh and the buffalo was well seasoned. They have a house made chipotle ranch dressing that is great for dipping fries. Overall YUM 4/5 Dessert: we al shared a slice of bourbon pecan pie and key lime pie. Although we all like the pecan pie we chose key lime as our favorite. It was not overwhelming bitter and had a great subtle lime flavor. Overall rating 4/5

Service was fantastic, our server was friendly and offered another preparation for the fish of the day from a different choice in the menu. I had the daily special, Jamaican Jerk Red Snapper over rice with grilled pineapple, pickled red onion and edamame. The grilled pineapple perfectly complimented the blackened fish, jerk spice prepared in that way can land on a the salty side. The pineapple cut the saltiness and really worked when eaten together. The chef clearly understands a layered flavor approach to a dish, this was perfect. My dad had a parm crusted grouper over risotto. Each element was prepared perfectly. The minor issue here was that food took a bit longer to arrive than what I'm used to, but I enjoyed chatting with my dad on the outdoor patio. Restaurant was clean and the server (Allison) was a complete professional, clearly understanding all aspects of dishes they serve. Dessert was a peach cheesecake with hot honey drizzle. It was really really good and worth it! Would absolutely eat here again and this place is a better choice than some downtown Athens offers that have jumped the shark in my opinion.

Friendly professional service, our server was very nice and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure we had a nice dining experience. Great food options, with a lowcountry inspiration. The menu is lowcountry focused and the food is executed beautifully. We started with a dozen of the local oysters, they were fresh, sweet and delicious, a solid start. After giving the menu a good perusal, my dinner companion went for the evenings special. The evening special was, shrimp and crab ravioli. This is a generous portion of nicely prepared ravioli's filled with a sweet succulent crab and then whole shrimp in a rich cream sauce. Presented simple and clean, she said it was delicious, and my sampling of it was just that. Pan seared red fish over etufee was my choice, again a very good meal. A nice serving of perfectly cooked Red fish mixed over a generous portion of etufee. Spicy, succulent, full flavored. It was a really solid selection and very good. A couple sides to go with our entrees, the mashed potato and brocolli, both were done well, simple and tasted good as you would expect. The biscuits, oh those biscuits. The biscuits were a great addition. All in all a solid dining experience and well worth the effort, good lowcountry food done well. As well reservations are recommended especially on the weekends. 4 Stars - recommended 01075
