This place blew me away. The food was absolutely tasty and the offerings were amazing. If I had…read moremore time in Clayton, GA, I probably would have had all my remaining meals here. This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

Plus his burger was so soggy because apparently it's not a thought for them to put the toppings on a burger on the side when it's a to go order . His bun completely dissolved in his hands and was far past just a little messy it was soggy, overcooked and impossible to eat .then they refused to give us a refund because it's out of their hands cuz they according to them didn't mess up the order because they didn't give us the wrong food

It was a little warm inside when we visited, but still an enjoyable experience overall. For the buffet, the food was decent with a good variety. There were many southern-style dishes, a nice salad bar, and lots of desserts to choose from. The fried chicken was great, and it was a nice surprise to see low boil seafood available as well. One thing worth noting is that you're required to put on a disposable glove every time you get a plate at the buffet, which felt like a good step for cleanliness. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service, good comfort food, and a charming atmosphere.

My wife had the Smash Burger while I enjoyed the Fender Melt. We both upgraded our side to onion rings. Both which I recommend. Our only concern was the EXTRA 50 cents for the extra pickle my wife ordered. This was very surprising. As far as ambiance, Fender's is a Retro 50's Diner. Nice bar and grill scene. Check it out if you get the chance.

I got the tender bender, the chicken was okay but as previously stated, the mashed potatoes tasted like industrial soap with gelatinous cold gravy. The ambiance, ah, that is the question. You walk into a dark bar and turn left and you are in a 1950's style diner but with stylized pictures of 1970's entertainers with some unknown music playing (not music indicative of the 50's). It breaks my heart because this use to be a wonderful diner.

The restaurant is plainly decorated with about a dozen tables. We timed our visit perfectly since it seemed that soon after we arrived the lunch crowd began arriving, which quickly created a wait. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, which cooked perfectly and were topped with a well-executed béarnaise sauce. We also ordered a Meat-Lover's Omelette that was generously stuffed with various meats. We also ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes that were light and fluffy in the middle with slightly-crisp edges. Delicious all around. Service was attentive and efficient. The staff seemed to have multiple roles as you would expect in a small/family-run restaurant. I highly recommend you stop here for breakfast or lunch and enjoy delicious food in a simple atmosphere.

I think it's the best dish they serve, and I order it every time when I'm in town in Athens once a year. Order this with a fried egg on top and thank me later. Being solo and from out of town, I grabbed an early dinner at the bar upstairs, which is, frankly, a lot nicer than the downstairs dining room. The bone-in pork chop i ordered was very good but not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it along with its accompaniments, those being mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It appeared they staffed up for Valentine's Day this year. There were three bartenders working the food and drink orders at the bar upstairs. I washed both meals down with sweet tea as one does. The service was great. Cheers!

This is great. Also had some good eggs and sausage on the side. Megan had a biscuit with black eyed pea gravy that was on the specials. Neither of us liked it much, it was dry and could have used some more flavor. Little City is a little out of the way but it is good, they appear to actual cook here and not just reheat some stuff, and the people are cool. I definitely will hit this every once every 6-8 weeks when in the area. I just wish they would do a better job promoting the specials, then I might come here more often!
