They've been slingin' chicken for decades from Miller's on the West Side of Athens. They have a…read moremorning crowd of people who work with their hands loading up on breakfast sandwiches and then a steady stream until the 7pm close. So don't get a hankering for the best chicken tenders (each one is essentially a whole flattened breast) or the more old school offerings like fried hearts, gizzards, or livers. You can get those in bulk and you might ask who would ever...? My high school crew does once a year when the loser of our previous year's fantasy football league caters the next year's draft, that's who. The reason to go is the fried chicken but you can order skinless if you want to behave. They also sell biscuits and multiple sizes of cole slaw, mashed potatoes and gravy, and potato salad. You can dine in at one of probably ten tables and a surprising number of people do. But for me it is about a bucket and some sides for a picnic or that quick decision when plans to make dinner at home go sideways. Parking for 10 or so cars available in front and it is rarely full for long if at all. As a college town, Athens' restaurant scene typically caters to the students. And Miller's is definitely student friendly. But while the students flock to the latest thing (new Cane's on Court Street) the locals know that Miller's is Athens true chicken king. The family business has earned loyalty over the generations. And just know, if you are back in Athens looking for some chicken nostalgia in late summer, make sure you don't land on County Fair Week in August. That is the one week a year they are closed at Miller's.

Most other places were closed, so we were happy to find the doors open and great smells coming from the back. One of my friends ordered a chicken bacon ranch wrap while my other friend and I split a 6 tender meal with a side of the garlic parm tator tots. Everything was delicious and we got like 9 chicken tenders in the meal. The bbq was perfect balance of sweet and tangy and the tator tots were amazing. This place gave us exactly what we needed! The person behind the counter was also very nice and worked quickly for us.

Easily the best pizza in southern Ohio. Very creative menu…read more We've had the super mushroom (my fave), the Philly, pepperoni, and the skeletonwitch (spicy). Their crust is phenomenal. Try the green chili jam!!! Service is fast. Only outdoor seating which with Ohio weather can be a pain. There's a speedway down a bit so order pizza then go grab drinks. By he time you get back - pizza done! They also have take & bake. We found it by accident first time then drive an hour back to have it again. It's that good. Full menu is not posted in the store so make sure you check the website.

It leads for its creativity of combos, it leads for local sourcing of ingredients, it leads for its stall at the Saturday Farmer's Market with numerous bread options, and it leads for local ownership with deep commitment to investing in the community. The Super Mushrooms with diverse fresh mushroom types and ricotta and asiago cheese is always my go to even with lots of other tempting combos available in regular, gluten free, and cauliflower crust options in 10" and 14" size options. There is a table in the tiny parking lot for eating at the restaurant, but really this is for takeout or delivery. They do have NY Style and regular cheese and pepperoni slices available by the slice on walk in plus some to go salads and cannoli in the small pick up area.

I went here once for an early Thursday dinner and this place had me pleased. The staff were…read moreattentive and polite, and the food I had was done in a way that was as timely as it was delicious. The BBQ sauce especially amplified the quality and taste of the pulled pork sandwich I had. I only went by myself to check it out but the general atmosphere of the place is an inviting and exciting one that encourages you to interact with anyone that goes with you. Overall, the Pigskin is a classic restaurant to the city of Athens if not Athens County as a whole. I am sure to come back, I'll just have to bring some friends and family when I do.

The food was really tasty and comforting, however my only issue are the prices of buffet. That's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. (Plus I can't quite give 4.5, otherwise they'd get 4.5 stars rather than 4.) If it's in your affordability, I'd recommend stopping for a bite with your family or group of friends. (Note: The roasted brussel sprouts & little flaky danishes are DELICIOUS!)

The service was good seated quick on a high top and the server got our orders in fast and the food was out as well. The Mac n cheese eggrolls were new and interesting. Outside was crispy and crunchy and you bite into a soft Mac n cheese pieces. I ordered the my first rodeo sandwich. It came with chicken, bacon, jalapeños, and the side of vegetables for the sandwich lettuce, tomatoes, onion. The chips are their speciality homemade kettle chips. Those were savory and crunchy. I think they can do a better job with sharing daily specials for the food I know they specialize in beer but I did not try any. Server jumped quick into starting us with drinks. Especially for a tourist like me there should be a welcome since this is a very dandy spot to have a restaurant. So service was a 2/5 food was a 3/5.
