Restaurant Week was a great time to check out some new restaurants. Staff was super busy but handled the crowds efficiently. These people know what they are doing in a crunch. I got my curry chicken salad sandwich to go with a brownie and drink. The food was great and you can't beat the prices. Go and support local. read more

Nice little sandwich lunch stop for sure. Enjoyable outside seating. It's that Athens feeling of enjoying outdoor dining for sure. Service was good. They bring your meal out to you, you are responsible for getting your drink there. Definitely be back for sure. read more

Amazing experience! Love the food and chicken salad. My go to for lunch with a girlfriend !

I had lunch with a colleague at Marti's. As a first time visitor, I enjoyed my visit overall. The restaurant was busy, and I was thankful for patrons who showed me the ropes (aka ordering at the counter and seating yourself) as I would not have known. I had a grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup, and the mint sweet tea. Everything was delicious! read more

The staff was SO sweet and the food was delish! I will definitely be coming back for the Vegan Maggie sandwich which (sorry vegans) I added turkey to. Yum! I paired it with their gumbo and it was the perfect lunch. read more

I've been coming here for over a decade. Food is always amazing! The mint tea and 1/2 Matthew sandwich is my favorite! It comes with fruit and the garlic aioli on the side. Don't skip the aioli! Also, comes with crisp pita chips that I constantly crave when I am not in Athens. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to your table. There is more parking around the back of the building. Great patio for beautiful days! Please open an Atlanta location!!!! read more

Amazing chicken salad sandwiches! Very fresh and clean. The ambience is very cozy. I highly recommend "Jay's Favorite" buffalo chicken salad! I keep ordering the same, I'm hooked! read more

Great for lunch but not all the items are great to eat. I hate this requirement that Yelp has requiring a specific number of characters.

Food is always tremendously good and order comes up quickly. I order online and it's always ready by the time I get there. I have special requests and they always substitute correctly. read more

Best chicken salad and pimento cheese! I love getting the Martha's salad plate because their balsamic is also amazing. Their pita chips are also delicious read more

Marti's At Midday - Tarragon Chicken Salad Nibble - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Curry chicken salad was great. Tarragon chicken salad was really good. Pita chips were homemade and perfectly seasoned. Fresh fruit garnish was better than most places and mint iced tea was delish. Cute quaint old house converted into a yummy Lunch place was a great unique way to eat in Athens. Enjoyed it so much the first time we took the grandparents back the next day! read more

What an awesome place for lunch! One of the sales consultants for the hospital brought us lunch today from Marti's. It was my first time eating from here although I've heard lots about how good this place is...it did not disappoint. I had the Martha's Salad Plate. I chose curry chicken salad and pimento cheese for my plate. The pimento cheese was possibly the best I've ever had- bold statement...but true. They also offer frozen entrées, that serve up to 4 adults and come frozen, that I intend to order several of for the holidays when friends are over. Top notch food. Looks good. Tastes good. I'll be a regular here. read more

Marti's At Midday - MARTHAS SALAD - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Marti's is delightful and a place to go for a nice lunch or afternoon snack. The parking is not the best, but the atmosphere is nice. The staff greets you and was answering all the questions we had about the menu. I had curry chicken salad nibblers plate. The pita chips are delicious and crispy with great seasonings on top. The curry chicken salad is not spicy but flavorful and sweet. I had an orange poppy seed cookie which I thought tasted like a regular sugar cookie with poppy seeds. I would love to come back with a small group of friends as there is limited seating especially if you are not wanting to eat outside. read more

Absolutely wonderful food. Had the chicken salad and hummus and could not have been more satisfied. The warm pita bread to along with the speedy service was fantastic. Put this on your stop in list if in Athens! read more

Extremely delicious sandwiches. Loved the curry chicken salad and buffalo too. Even the cup of soup of the day was a hit.

My dad has been in the hospital, at Athens Piedmont. The hospital food of course isn't great, so my sister and I decided to try Marti's since it's right down the street. We both got a pretty big meal each, and shared with each other to try lots of different things. Everything that we got was delicious. My sister got a The Rhett- Melted with cheese and tomato on pita bread with a side of apricot mayo. OMG YUM. This was the fave of the day. I ordered The James- Ham and cheese with French Dijon mustard. It was good, but had thick slices of ham like you eat at thanksgiving and I prefer slimmer meat cuts. The pimento cheese with homemade pita chips was also a favorite. That is some of the best pimento cheese I've ever had. GET SOME. I ordered a scoop of curry chicken salad, which was also delicious to me. If you've have curry chicken salad before then you'll probably love this. It has fruit in it, like grapes and apricots. Overall a pleasant experience and good time. read more

Excellent food and service! Atmosphere is really nice with a great patio with shade. Highly recommend!

Unbelievably friendly service with fresh and delicious options. The decorations are fun.

Marti's at Midday catered brunch for my wedding party day-of. Everything was on time, tasty, beautifully presented, and my out-of-town friends loved the touch of Southern hospitality Marti's bites brought to our day together. My husband and I also hosted a goodbye brunch for our guests the day after our wedding at Marti's. Their space is cozy, charming, and offers guests an experience at an Athens institution! I still have guests asking me about their shrimp and grits and if Jay plans to get hooked into a service like Goldbelly to ship their chicken salad more widely :) read more

the sandwich called "Matthew's favorite" was quite literally turkey on toast and that's it. seems like this place is just trying to sell an aesthetic vs actually good food. staff are all nice though. read more

Marti's hosted a brunch for my sister's wedding. The owner Jay and his staff went above and beyond to ensure everything went perfectly. The food is amazing and service was even better. They have a really big eating area outside to enjoy your meal while getting fresh air. Could not recommend a better place. 10/10. read more

Marti's owner catered my daughter's wedding day lunch for the bridal party and the brunch the day after. The food was amazing, the presentation was excellent, and the service was outstanding. they have easy parking and a great outdoor area with umbrellas for shade. Can't wait to come back! read more

So freaking Bussin absolutely delectable. The meat is super thick cut, I will be back to try the chicken salad and desserts. Fruit was so fresh too. Yum! Service was fast asf. Ambiance superb. read more

The best chicken salad in the world! Marti was my niece.I'm so very proud of Jay and the staff are continuing the high quality and service she started. read more

Venue: Family owned, super cool & quirky. Food: Had the pleasure of enjoying a Mathew's Favorite (Turkey) Sandwich along with the ** Chicken Salad ** and Jambalaya. All the food was delicious. Especially the ** Chicken Salad. ** I would be 100% fine if it was the only chicken salad I ate for the rest of time. It was that good. Parking: Lot in Back read more

I've heard from coworkers how good this place is... I get that the hospital workers love it, but when my other coworker told me it's basically an over priced/over hyped Chicken Salad Chick kind of place- she was right!! The curry chicken salad scoop I got was a surprisingly small "scoop" and was weirdly too sweet & fruity- could hardly taste the curry flavor. {{Chicken Salad Chick they give you an amount that doesn't seem like a snack...}} I also ordered the gumbo soup, it was ok. But it was hardly lukewarm. Overall a meal that was definitely overpriced and the portions made it hard to consider it an actual meal. read more

Marti's At Midday - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Great place to stop by for breakfast or lunch during the weekdays, Marti's got a great mix of healthy options and Southern charm! FOOD: 5 The menu spells out exactly what you'll get in the entrées, every entrée comes with a side of crispy pita chips! I got Martha's salad, which came with pimento cheese and chicken salad, both of which were fresh and the perfect dash of savory and creaminess! I don't think you can pick a bad entree, I be been here several times and nothing has disappointed! PRICE: 5 All entrées were between $9 to $10, and if you want to get the half sandwiches or half salads, they are only $6 or $7! Portions were huge, I finished a huge portion of my lunch and still had a whole box of leftovers to take home! SERVICE: 5 Sweet, southern hospitality is what you will get at Marti's at Midday! They are (I believe,) a family run business, and everyone in there treats you like family! There was a little line when I got there, and a lady came up to everyone waiting to get their drink orders first! They are definitely efficient and organized. read more

Marti's At Midday - The Martha's salad, huge portion, delicious pimentos cheese and chicken salad!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Marti's is a good choice Mon-Fri if you get there before noon or after the lunch crowd. The food is good, not outstanding, but for about an hour and a half at their namesake "midday" the place is very very noisy, crowded, and there are long lines to order at the counter. There are a few tables outside but they mostly in the sun and are next to a wide busy street with traffic noise and fines. Food: 3/5 Good food but limited, lunch-only menu. There are two kinds of chicken salad, curry and tarragon- but lunch ends up being $11-12 for a half sandwich or one scoop of chicken salad, pita chips and 4 small pieces of fruit, and some celery It's location is good for workers stuck in Normaltown with few other choices for lunch nearby. The new Chicken-Salad-Chick in town will give this place some serious competition in menu variety, value, and quieter, less crowded dining, and worker-friendly hours, IMHO. Parking-0/5 there are only a very few (4 maybe?) parking places, otherwise you have to find parking on the street (with meters) which isn't easy at lunch time. Other: The location is near a hospital and medical offices. I noticed several people coming into the lunch counter area with scrubs on and even shoe covers-leaving one to wonder if medical and dental employers had adequately instructed employees that scrubs are for keeping germs in the medical areas so as not to carry germs inside (to patients) or outside (to the general public) So why bother wearing scrubs if employees wear them like street clothes, in theory spreading germs and medical detritus to the public and carrying germs back to patients ? Should t there be an outside window for carry-out orders and pick up instead of having scrubs inside with diners? read more

Great place! Consistently good food. I love trying something new every time I go. Great staff.

Came here with my Grandpa after a doctor's appointment and everyone was so attentive and helpful. He ordered the James and I had the spinach tart salad - it's so much food! And it's so good! read more

First time here and ordered the Rhett and the Mathews favorite. Def not what I was expecting but the food is great and the portions are big!! You get a thick slice of turkey like a thanksgiving size slice. It's juicy and delicious. The sauce that comes with the Mathews favorite was so good. And both meals came with pita and fresh fruit! Staff was very polite and attentive. We can't wait to go back and try the chicken salad and pimento cheese! read more

Both the pimento cheese and chicken salad are great choices. The pimento cheese is smooth, creamy, sharp and in good balance with the mayo. The chicken salad is simply done and flavorful. While $8 per sandwich may seem pricey at first, Marti's doesn't skimp on portions. A generous amount of filling is sandwiched between 2 slices of homemade bread. 1 whole sandwich could easily make for 2 meals. Remember that Marti's is only open on the weekdays for breakfast and lunch. They do accept credit/debit card but there is a $10 minimum (Visa and Mastercard please!). read more

They have some pretty good food! Place is very small but when they are as crowded as they usually are then you know your going to get some great food! I really like how they include fruit with their meals. read more
