    BBQ is fantastic. Sauce is good. Sides are homemade. Real old fashioned Athens place. Run by Mr and Mrs Scott. Make a pilgrimage..

    Perhaps the best BBQ in Athens. The mac n cheese, collards and hash are out of this world.

    Great Brunswick stew and Bbq Chicken . It'…read more....... Easy to order online and pick up

    The food is always very good, BUTT the service leaves a lot to be desired. I have had issues…read moregetting through via the phone numerous times even when I have been sitting out in their parking lot and they are not busy. The ladies that work there are rarely communicative and there is never a greeting by anyone. I ordered food earlier this week and they forgot to put in a side item. I called them to let them know and the lady was genuinely apologetic. I asked if they could make a concession on my next order and she took my name and said she would have a manager call me. Never received a call which was service issue number two. So I placed an order today and proposed that they give a pint of Brunswick stew for free. When I arrived, again no greeting and the lady looked dead at me for several seconds. Maybe I don't fit the expected demographic to be served. A gentleman came out handed me my order and and said we replaced your okra from last time. I asked if they would make a concession and he said they couldn't. I don't buy that for a moment and won't be buying my favorite bbq here anymore due to the series of unprofessional mishaps and the lack of value as a customer. I also support the Boston butt drive they do every year with one of the local agencies here in town, BUTT that will no longer be the case. I'll miss you Butt Hutt.

    I stopped by to grab a to-go plate, and I have to say, this restaurant is SO cute! I absolutely…read moreloved the industrial loft vibe--it gives the place so much character. The service was really nice, too. I sat at the bar to place my order, and luckily, the bartender was vegetarian and pointed me in the right direction when it came to choosing what to try. The collard greens weren't really my favorite, but the tots and mac & cheese? Absolutely delicious! Those were definitely the standouts for me. This is definitely a spot we'll be visiting again in the near future. My only wish is that they offered a few seafood options, but there were still plenty of things to enjoy. Parking is a little limited, but the area is very walkable, so that definitely helps. Overall, super cute spot, friendly service, and some really good food!

    I absolutely want to give this place more than 5 stars, and I would give them more but for one…read moremajor factor during our brunch this Sunday. As it is, I'd still give them a 4.75 stars for such a lovely experience. I would still say you NEED to eat here if you are here on Sunday! Just be warned to wear not slip shoes! They actually take reservations for Sunday brunch, so that's already a plus. When we were running a bit late, Indie was truly a joy to talk with, and she made the change without a hiccup! Once we got there, she was even more welcoming and got us seated in no time. Before I explain my concern, let me make it clear that we will certainly be back when we visit Athens! The location is so close to the UGA campus it's a no-brainer. There was plenty of street parking around, including handicap, so it's easy to get to. While the front entrance is almost hilariously plain and non-descript, the interior is really beautiful!! I felt like we walked into a The Great Gatsby. My daughter was tickled by the ever-changing ticker sign over the bar. Everyone loved the stained glass and deep colors. Even the bathrooms were like being at Grand Central Station in the 20's. And the food!!! We tried all the classic Southern Soul Food staples, and they did NOT disappoint! From the fried green tomatoes, to the shrimp & grits, to an enormous French Toast, they put their foot in it!! Bravo! I have to note that the fried chicken is truly crave-able--crispy, juicy, & flavorful!! The fried green tomatoes were cornbread crispy and delicious! Fair warning that they do have a bit of a bite to them, so check with your littles. We appreciated that they offered egg whites in any dish with eggs, but I wish there was a non-pork substitute for some dishes. There's a vegan selection, but it's just not the same, so we didn't try it. Maybe next time! I lived my goat cheese omelette, and the portion was big enough I got to take some home with me. Just wonderful food all around. The beignets were divine! And it ended up being my daughter's birthday dessert/app. And then we just kept ordering more. Cannot say enough great things about our server--and my mind goes blank because I wish I could remember her name!! She was great the entire time for our whole 9-top group. She kept the waters filled, she cleared plates along the way, she was welcoming and engaging, and we just all enjoyed being here because of it. While we waited for some of our party to arrive, we were directed to a beautiful lobby adjacent to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the floor was exceptionally slippery--like an oily kind of slippery that is not conducive to an 88-year-old using a walker kind of slippery. I was a little worried for my F & MIL. The elevator is so far from where we needed to be that it wasn't worth the risk, so we chose to go up the 2 steps at the front entrance. Luckily for us, everyone was able to move around with care this time.
