The reviews were good so we went. We splurged and got Reuben egg rolls, fries mushrooms, nachos and three little pigs tacos. The nachos are beer cheese, bacon and fried jalepenos on chips and we added beef. Everything was fantastic!! I highly recommend and will be going back often read more

This is my favorite place to eat in town. I've sampled many items from their menu and if your traveling through or live around Athens and haven't discovered this gem yet I urge you to do so. Best burgers in town. Steaks cooked to order. You gotta get the Aloha Burger if your fan of savory meets spicy it's the perfect burger for you. I also have to recommend the Reuben Egg rolls everything you love about a Rueben rolled up in a egg roll with thousand island dipping sauce. Staff is wonderful. I've been here countless times and I've never had a problem. read more

Highly Recommend! Neat atmosphere. Good service. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with broccoli. The broccoli comes grilled and is excellent. Served with home made white sauce that is to die for. Ate lunch with my supervisor, who ordered the Caribbean chicken, he said it was excellent as well. The sweet tea was good and the restaurant and restrooms were clean! read more

My husband and I are recent Empty-Nesters. We went in to Ro's on a whim one night since neither of us felt like cooking. I am so glad we did. We both had very nice, filling dinners that were great and spent less than $20.00. My husband had pork tenderloin and I had Hawaiian Chicken, so I am not talking about only burgers here. We have been back twice since then and tried other things. My opinion has not changed. I cant say that it is a Fancy Place, and that is OK with me. It is clean and has a good Health Department score. (That is what really matters, right?) Local kids work there and they have always been very nice and friendly. The service is great. We will go back regularly now. I cant cook at home for that price, and there I dont have to do dishes. read more

Ro's is freak unbelievable. Service is always good And the food is fabulous. I've had just about everything on the menu and it's always so good. If you're a fan of Burgers then you have to try the Aloha Burger. read more

We love this place! I always get my favorite, the Reuben Egg Rolls with Grilled Broccoli - this time my husband ordered the hamburger steak with fries. Everything was delicious. Although it was Sunday around noon, and there was a 15-20 minute wait, the service was top notch as always. Can't beat great food for reasonable prices and excellent service. One suggestion - the waiting room is a bit small but there are benches so it works. However, there was a lady there today with a teenage girl and two younger children, probably 3-6 years old. She allowed them to run, scream, and run into waiting customers as they twirled around a post in the middle of the room. It was ridiculous and this mom didn't do a thing until the boy ran right into a man. She was oblivious to their behavior. The hostess is not able to see this because of a partition between the hostess stand and waiting area. I did tell her and the manager about this behavior after we were seated. There were a number of older customers there, two with walkers, and they could have easily been hurt by these children gone wild. read more

I got the burger with fries. Quality on burger and fries served on Texas Toast. The burger was well cooked and I almost couldn't eat all of it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

JACK JACK BURGER-with everything!!!! YUMMY!! I can't drive by this place with my windows down if I'm not prepared to stop and satisfy the obsession stimulated by the aroma in the air! It always smells soooo good. read more

My husband Dan and I eat here so much! The food is wonderful! The Jack Jack, chicken fingers, chopped steak, etc etc, all melts in your mouth. The staff is A-1 and so sweet and accommodating. We love it. 100% recommend to any one. You can always get a great meal! read more

Great food! We got the fish and shrimp tacos and both were delicious. Don't miss their hush puppies!

Burgers were excellent! I will definitely be returning here again. Great food for the price. Probably the best burger I have had in a long time. read more

I had the salmon BLT and my husband had the Aloha burger, both were excellent. Waitress was friendly and order was perfect even though we made a few modifications. Atmosphere was fun, decorated in what I consider industrial-antique. All and all, a nice little find as we traveled through on our way to see UK play Southern Miss. Go Cats! We will be sure to stop again if we make it down this far in the future. read more

Best food in Athens. Period! Friendly staff and the food is always Yummmy!!! We have become regulars since first trying it about 5 months ago. read more

See all

Great food. Ask for table NOT in front of the air duct. I froze the whole time we were there

Another good place to eat in Athens. My wife says their fried catfish is the best in town but I tend to tackle the Jack Burger. Friendly service, great food and very reasonable prices. read more

We lived in Athens 2 years before we found this place. A friend recommended. The outside doesn't look appealing but once you get in, it is fantastic. This is truly the very best place to eat in Athens. You will NOT be disappointed with anything you order, plus the prices are fair. read more

We arrived at nearly closing time, but were welcomed warmly. The atmosphere is homey and the food is fantastic.

First time visiting and they hit a home run. Outstanding fish "Tac-Ros." I've sampled fish tacos from many places, and each style has varied with its own special form. Ro's version is perhaps the best I've ever had - wonderful. A southern twist to this creation yielded a dish that was truly unique and delicious - looked great and tasted great! We will be returning to try everything on what looks to be a quite varied menu. Very fast, efficient, and friendly service. Ro's is on the regular rotation from now on. Just returned to Yelp to see any updates to Ro's, and noticed that the review below this one by Wendy S. From Madison, WI has a photo of exactly the dish we had. This demonstrates consistency! I told you it looked GREAT! As a matter of fact, my wife said we should have taken a photo for you all, but it was so good we didn't think of it until too late. She then said, probably should have photographed the empty plates, which says it all in the restaurant biz! read more

This place is awesome. Everything we had was top notch. We would drive all the way to Athens just to have lunch here! Amazing service too! read more

Best chicken fingers in town!! I Also love the onion rings. Only took one star away because the service can be slow and unfriendly sometimes. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner last Thursday. Everything tasted fresh and the portion sizes were good. I ordered the fried shrimp and it was wonderful. The breading was light and the shrimp were not overcooked. My daughter's cheeseburger was great. My husband's chicken tenders were cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive. The food is cooked fresh, so allow time if you go there. read more

This is my second lunch at Ro's and the food is delicious. Not only my shrimp tacos but every plate I saw being served lol Ike's amazing. Service is great and the servers are all very pleasant. This has turned into one of my favs. and I'm not even from the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is terrific. Beef tips are awesome and best burgers in town. Very busy so it may take awhile to get your food if there are a lot of people. read more

My wife and I ate here on our way home from vacationing in Florida. We arrived at five and beat the dinner crowd by about twenty minutes. We initially attempted to eat here on our way down to Florida later on a Saturday evening, but the parking lot was full. After eating here today, I see why it's so popular. We both had the fish with chips. It was very good, and the price was even better. Ro's Grille is several miles off of I-65. Use your map app to get there and you'll be pleased that you did. read more

Down in AL from MI and stopped here for lunch and so glad we did! For under $15 my fiancé and I both had lunch and it was damn good! He got the BLT and I got chicken tenders. Tenders were crispy and juicy and they have the best ranch I have ever had! Service was very fast and friendly and I would give more stars if it was possible! read more

A breath of fresh air in Athens. Something apart from all the fast food and Tex-Mex restaurants. The Ro's bowl is amazing is fantastic along with everything else they offer. read more

Found Ro's here on Yelp. Got the Jack Jack burger and let me just say that it was delicious! It was huge! Service was excellent as well. Will definitely be back! read more

If you want a good burger and got appetite cone here and get the jack jack you will not be disappointed read more

Ro's Grille - Seafood Near Me - Athens, Alabama

I ordered the fried mushrooms as a table app. You get a ton for $6.00 and they're great. The burgers are... ahhmazing! Probably the best I've ever had (the aloha burger). Kids cleaned their plates as well. Great overall dining experience! read more

Get off 65, get away from the interchange and eat at a very good local spot. My wife had a shrimp po boy as good as any anywhere. Grilled broccoli as a side. Onion straws very good. Free tea or soda w lunch made it a great value as well. read more

Off day, stopped in for a quick lunch. I had the BLT it was sooo good. Pepper bacon and fresh tomato and the lettuce was not iceberg. Fries were seasoned and very good. Fran had the chicken Philly and broccoli she said it was good. Brook was very nice and took good care of us. Hope to be back soon... read more

This place is hit or miss. Just ate there. It was awful! The owner must not be around on weekends. We had catfish. It was crunchy...fried too long in an awful batter. The hush puppies were fried too long & had a peculiar taste. The baked potato & ice tea were the only good things about the meal. Also, their AC must not be working. Hot inside. read more

If you can get past the 45 minute wait time in a hot waiting area, the food was fan-frickin-tastic! Holy heart attack burger! Loaded baked potato was amazeballs! Good service once we were finally seated. Would have been 5*. read more

Really good food, excellent service, decent prices. Came for lunch, was not disappointed

Love their sweet tea. Not a fan of the flies. Need to add a baby changing station in the bathrooms. You get what you pay for.

Loved the food! The fried potato salad was to die for! The steak was perfectly seasoned and the fried brownie dessert was too decadent. I highly recommend! read more

It was our first visit and we are impressed. Had the fish tac-ros with grilled broccoli and they were fantastic! Unique, flavorful and just the right quantity. We were also impressed by the cost and service. We'll be back for sure. read more

They have the best steak tips I've ever had in my life. The white sauce is drinkable it's so good. I wish the food was served a little more hot but still the most tender steak that melts in your mouth. Portions to price could be better but they definitely make up for it on flavor. read more

My daughter and I like to try new places. All I can say is the service was great and the food was fresh and hot . My daughter had to wait for hers to cool down enough to eat. I had the Jack Jack ,the bacon was good and crispy burger was seasoned just right and the onion strings just made it oh yeah. My daughter got the cash burger she said her burger was good and asked me if we could come back ! We will be back for sure! read more

The loaded hush puppies (or whatever they called them) were DELICIOUS. ham, bacon and cheese in a hush puppie? Yeah.... I went for the fish and chips, which they had no problem substituting with more hush puppies. The fish was fried perfectly, with a light, crunchy batter without over cooking the fish. The dipping sauce was great as well. Like Arnold said.....I'll be back. read more
