We are so glad that this restaurant was able to upgrade to allow more space as they were always packed! The reason they're always packed is it's great service, great atmosphere, great and delicious food! I must try if you're in Athens. read more

Definitely a must try place. On way back to Ohio from Florida and decided to stop for the night. Wanted to try local and got lucky finding this gem of a place. Had a great server named Brooke. Seriously this place is amazing. So glad we picked it. Hopefully everyone will enjoy it as much as we did. read more

Ro's Grille - 3 little pigs pork taco with beer cheese and Cole slaw. Also homemade onion rings. - Seafood Near Me - Athens, Alabama

It was our first time and we arrived around 11:30 after a 22 mile bike ride. Wanted to eat locally before driving home and the reviews were great so we gave it a try. Asked the waitress what they were famous for and she said, "our fish." So we took her advice and ordered the fish and chips (house sliced potatoes fried) and wow was it delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked and had a nice crispy batter and the homemade potato slices were bloody awesome. Perfectly fried and lightly salted. A terrific combination of fish and chips. Service was very good, bathroom was clean and the setting was simple but nice. By noon the place was packed! Liked it so much I made the comment to my wife that we need a homemade place like this in Huntsville. Maybe they will open a second location? Outstanding food at a very reasonable price. Lunch menu is pretty much the same as dinner but is a $1 cheaper and comes with a drink. My only negative is they do not offer a Military discount. Perhaps management will reconsider that!

My parents are new to the area and Ros came highly recommended. Ambiance is cool. I'd recommend sitting at the bar. Food was ok.

This is one of those places where, for me, the food really only deserves 3 stars. But, thanks to very lovely service and what I feel is a fun, creative, interesting menu, they get a 4. Ro's is a smaller restaurant; there's even less seating on the inside than you'd think there would be looking at it from the outside. Decor is relatively simple but clean and comfortable. Our waiter was a very pleasant young man who wore his long hair in a sort of ponytail/bun thing. I didn't catch his name, but he was warm, pleasant, patient, and took the time to answer all our questions and meet all our requests. He did a really great job! We had the hush puppy appetizer, or the Bearded Stuffed Pups: their hush puppies loaded with cheese and bacon bits. They were served with some kind of creamy sauce that was a little on the ranch-y side but wasn't ranch. Super peppery. The pups themselves were pretty good; a little low on the bacon bits but crunchy. These are the sweeter sorts of hush puppies, which I like. However, they did have a sort of weird after taste. Also, I will mention that we really wanted the Rueben egg rolls, but they were out. Sad face. My parents split the fish and chips and a side salad. They said the salad was fresh and tasty. The fish in the fish and chips actually turned out to be catfish, which they weren't expecting. My mom doesn't really like catfish, but she said it was actually pretty good. The fish pieces weren't super big, though. My boyfriend and I both had the chicken fingers with toast and fries. One other cool menu option is you can make fries or chips loaded (with cheese and bacon bits) for an extra dollar. I opted to try that. Overall, I thought the chicken tenders were, again, a little on the small side. It's weird -- there was too much food, yet...they still felt kinda small. I dunno. Maybe I'd call it an issue with presentation? I'd rather have 2-3 meaty tenders than 4 wimpy ones. At any rate, the breading wasn't super crispy or flavorful, but it was alright. The house made ranch was tasty. I didn't like the toast at all; it wasn't especially crispy and didn't have much flavor. Sadly, the loaded fries were a bit of a miss, too. There wasn't much bacon and the melted cheese got cold and gloopy really quickly. Overall, though, thanks to outstanding service and a creative, flexible menu, I'd revisit Ro's if I was given the opportunity. read more

Great food and good service at a reasonable price. Steak and fried shrimp were very good. Will definitely return.

Never have gotten anything bad from Ro's Grill. Great for a night out with your loved one, girls night out or family.

Food is so yummy! The wait staff are very efficient and nice! Atmosphere is beautiful and laid back I highly recommend this place. Prices are reasonable! read more

We eat here 1-2 times a month. Incredible food. Best Philly in town by far. The friendliest staff. Our favorite place to eat in Athens!!

First time at Roe's after a recommendation and I will say they did not disappoint. Being from Caribbean descent, I was skeptical of this dish but the flavors were amazing. A well cooked tender chicken breast with a tropical sauce, cheese and pineapple. I'd definitely do it again. read more

Great food overall. Reasonable prices. Beef Tips were tasty and tender. Shrimp was good, but we're a tad overcooked. Ro's is "local" which is a good thing. Definitely on our return list of restaurants. read more

The best food in North Alabama. Everything on the menu is fantastic. Fried mushrooms are amazing.

We were traveling and looking for a local spot to eat dinner. Boy, did we make the right choice. Ro's food was delicious, service was wonderful, and the atmosphere top notch. read more

My husband stopped by a couple weeks ago and the food is fabulous. I had the Salmon BLT and my husband had some type of chicken hogtie- both we delicious. We will definitely be going back after our move to Athens. read more

Stopped off for an early dinner with the family on the way home from Nashville and very pleased with our experience at Ro's. Things I liked: - decent variety on the menu, but not overwhelming - well-staffed, good service - food tasted fresh/quality ingredients - reasonable prices, solid portions - laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere 4.5 - Would gladly eat here again, and will likely seek it out next time we pass through Athens. read more

The food was delicious! The offerings were traditional and unique. The fried shrimp and fries were cooked to perfection. The Ro's Bowl was unique and tasty. The chicken was flavorful, and the taste combo was good. The ambience is chic, and the downtown Athens location is quaint. The wait was short on a busy Saturday afternoon. read more

Our entrees were great! Service was wonderful! I was a little disappointed in the rolls, however. They are a bit expensive for what they are. When I saw them as an appetizer, I figured they must be pretty spectacular in someway since most places have bread or rolls as complimentary. They were the tiniest rolls i've ever seen and there was only 5 of them. Not worth the $10 in my opinion. read more

I always enjoy the food here. The service is always kind and generous. I tried the fried mushrooms and they are delicious and I love the sauce. I've tried the burger and it is delicious everything that I've tried here it's delicious... Even the grilled broccoli lol. My favorite thing Hass to be the stuffed hush puppies they are really delicious and they go really well with homemade kale or collard greens at home... I keep wanting to try the Ruben egg rolls but I can never catch them in stock... read more

OK, went there on a Friday night with friends who invited us to go - forgetting that we had been there before within the last 3 months. How's that for forgettable? My GF ordered a burger and I ordered the chicken and tips dinner. Talk about disappointing! My GF's burger was ok but the chicken on the dinner plate was undercooked and the texture was not good at all. I called a server over and notified them of the condition of the delivered food. The server took the dish back to the kitchen and they delivered me a complete new meal. While a good gesture, the amount of time trey took meant that when my dinner finally arrived, all other parties at the table were done eating their dinners. I tasted 2 pieces of meat and requested a to-go box. I know I will NEVER spend another dime at Ro's Grill. What's amazing is that the food isn't all that great. I suggest Ro's up their game before Old Black Bear opens up their Athens location. 3 out of 10 stars for this place really. read more

Don't let the outside give you second thoughts. Total dive appearance, once you enter it puts off a totally different vibe. Searching Yelp for an idea for a stop off point for lunch, the reviews for Ro's made this our top choice. We can't say enough about our server, he was simply amazing! Top notch service throughout the meal. When my gf asked for a side of BBQ it took him awhile to get back to us. As soon as he arrived he apologized for taking a little bit, but here was the side of BBQ and if she had never tried it before he thought she might like a Ranch and BBQ mixture he put together. As soon as I saw the Bearded Stuffed Pups I knew we had to try them. Hush Puppies stuffed with Bacon, Cheddar and a mild pepper ..... these were the best hush puppies I've ever had then add in the signature dipping sauce (still don't know everything that was in it) and I could have made a meal out of a couple orders of those. For my main course I had the Pork tacos that were served on naan bread with slaw. These were the best pork tacos I've had. Great flavor and tons of meat. Ended up eating only one taco with the bread and ended up eating the insides of the other two. My gf had the Aloha Burger, another solid choice. She opted for the fried jalapenos on the side, they were basically an app with how many they brought out. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Don't miss this one, worth the drive! Will not disappoint! read more

I've been twice and have not been disappointed. I've tried the fish and chips and the grilled chicken salad. The chicken on the salad was perfectly grilled and juicy. Their ranch taste like it's made in house and it has the perfect flavor. Their lunch menu includes a drink. This place has great prices. It's a drive because I don't live in Athens, but it's been a great spot for meeting friends. The parking lot is small and a little confusing on which spots or handicap if any because they have both blue and white stripes for the same spot. read more

We ate at Ro's new location last night, and we could not have enjoyed it more!!! The food was absolutely amazing as always! Upgraded dishes, an inviting open atmosphere, and a nice patio added to what was already an incredible dining experience. The wait was longer, but it was worth it! Truly my favorite restaurant in this area, and now...maybe anywhere! read more

One of my most favorite places to eat. The ambiance is amazing. Staff and service are fantastic and food is always fresh and delicious!!.

We stopped at Ro's Grille based on the Yelp reviews, and we are so glad we did!!! The food was delicious, service was pleasant, the price was very reasonable, and the place was packed. I had Three Little Pigs, but they were out of pork (it was toward the end of the day), and asked if it was okay with chicken. It was more than okay. It was scrumptious: flatbread wrap (taco) filled with slaw and shredded chicken, topped with beer cheese (times 3!). Side of crispy, tasty fries and a great big glass of sweet tea rounded out my meal. My husband had grilled shrimp, which came with hush puppies and slaw, with a side of a sweet potato. His review? "Tasty food!" :) Overall a wonderful experience and worth the small drive from the interstate! read more

Have not had anything from their menu that I do not like! The grilled broccoli is fantastic and my favorite side!! Service is always top notch, friendly and efficient! Great family friendly atmosphere! read more

Everything went well. This is the best restaurant in Athens. The food is the best, the service is the best, and their new location is the best. On top of all that everyone that works there does a great job and is very friendly. They make you feel like you are eating at home or your favorite grandma's house. read more

The wait for a table was 40 minutes. Then we sat at our assigned table...waited another 15 minutes before any wait staff acknowledged us. Once our server came over, she did an excellent job. Food was ok. read more

This restaurant is always good. My family has eaten here for lunch and dinner on several occasions and the food is consistent, service is good, restaurant is clean. I work in food service and I never have a concern or complaint here. It's a locally owned restaurant and I feel that they take pride in their establishment and the employees do also. Our favorite is the Cash on the lunch menus, and the CBR on the dinner menu. Grilled or fried is delicious either way, fries are delicious and the hush puppies never disappoint. read more

I give this place five stars. I was staying in the area and found them on Yelp. It was close to my hotel and was easy to get to after my walk. I place an order to go and when I got there it was ready. I ordered the Land n Sea with grilled broccoli. Usually food picked up isn't as good as eating it at the restaurant, but my guess is that this last was as good as it would have been at the restaurant. It was perfect portions and the steak and shrimp were cooked perfectly. I really liked the grilled broccoli. I also got the fried mushrooms which I really liked indeed. Everything was seasoned perfectly. I will eat here again when back in the area. read more

The food was wonderful. The ribeye and strip steaks were tender and the seasonings were just the best.

The food is good, the service is usually good, and the building is beautiful. I'm a repeat customer. Must try is the Ro's Bowl.

This place is great! We tried one of their burgers and it was so good! The service is spectacular!

Ordered the double cheeseburger and was disgusted. It was a total grease feast. I have never had a burger more disgusting. The bottom bun was saturated with grease as soon as it arrived. Thr indigestion lasted for days. Really disappointing. read more

Have been here twice. Since it is local wanted to give it multiple chances. It is crowded.. loud. Servers have too many tables. First trip was meh. Second I got food poisoning from the grilled chicken. After we waited for 40(!!) minutes for grilled chicken pita thing and hamburger. Maybe it turned in the window!? There are better places with more atmosphere and better food in Athens. read more
